    I started the league and sent links in PM's to the people listed in your post. We need 5 more participants. Come forward those of you who are up to the challenge of taking on the King of TalkSox, User and the Sports Betting King (Iortiz) among others to match baseball knowledge and wits.

    What categories did we use?
  3. a700hitter
    Craig is going to have a hard time finding playing time on this roster. That is the problem for him.
  4. a700hitter
    Victorino did get hurt in the last week of Spring Training. If he is healthy and doesn't get traded, get ready to be shocked. Rusney isn't going down. Neither is Betts. Nava needs Craig to get traded to have a shot at sticking.
  5. a700hitter
    With a week remaining in Spring Training, Castillo will have close to 40 Spring ABs under his belt. That's enough. $72 million will not be sitting in the minors at age 27. Ortiz's breaks will come during interleague play. Unless he gets injured, he will sit very little in AL DH games.
  6. a700hitter
    Aw, what do you know about running a major league team? But I fear that you are right about this rotation.
  7. a700hitter
    Fred, I will be going to the game on the 11th. We must arrange to meet.

    The rumor is out there that swihart may make the club if Vasquez is injured. I guess they didn't learn last year from exposing our top prospects who were not ready and tanking their value. We may regret not getting Hamel's for Swihart.

    CRaig is a spare part at best. Kelly had better pan out. I said at this juncture, and yes it is early.
  10. a700hitter
    Unless two of our Outfielders get traded or injured in camp, Nava gets DFA'd. Mark it down. Castillo is not sitting in the minors with his $72 million.
  11. a700hitter
    They would have 10 days to trade him. After that he could be claimed. If he goes unclaimed, which would be unlikely, he would be assigne to Pawtucket. Castillo is not going to be sitting in AAA with $72 million unless he gets injured. Would you like to bet a case of beer on it?

    At this juncture the trade of Lackey is not looking very fruitful for the Red Sox. We gave up one year and 2 months of Lackey at a steep discount for a pitcher that can't seem to achieve his potential and a spare part. At this point Kelly's potential continues to be reassessed downward, and there is no spot on this team for Craig. At this point, the ledger is greatly favoring the Cards on this trade.

    I don't think. The Red Sox have any choice but to send Bradley to the minors, even if Victorino gets traded. He'd still have Ramirez, Castillo, Betts and Craig ahead of him. If it comes down to him and Nava, Bradley has options. If VIctorino is with us on opening day, Bradley goes down and Nava gets DFA'd and some team will claim him.

    My brother saw Johnson pitch against the Marlins in Jupiter the other day. He thought that Johnson looked very good.
  15. a700hitter
    His ABs have looked much better. The difference has been night and day. He doesn't look lost at the plate. I hope other teams have been watching, because he is excess baggage with Hanley, Rusney, Victorino and Betts.
  16. a700hitter
    A tough day for Owens today.
  17. a700hitter
    Expecting another 2813 season from Koji would be unreasonable if he was only 30. His 2013 was absolute perfection. I'll be happy to see that type of season from a Red Sox reliever just one more time in my life.
  18. a700hitter
    He can be very effective at that velocity.
  19. a700hitter
    How has CC's velocity been this Spring? I heard that the Mets lit him up for 3 homers yesterday.
  20. a700hitter
    I got home yesterday.
  21. a700hitter
    I thought Porcello looked fine. He's not a #1, but he should be solid. Masterson's velocity is down significantly. That's not negative. It's just a fact. Kelly looks like garbage. Not negative -- just a fact. Maybe he just needs to get healthy and build arm strength. Buch has looked good. He just needs to stay healthy. This is an objective assessment of the situation, not being negative.
  22. a700hitter
    Victorino is playing every day with no nagging problems. He's looking healthier than he has been since he has been with us.
  23. a700hitter
    Betts continues to rake. In his first 2 ABs, he has a double to the RCF gap and an inside the park homer to CF.
  24. a700hitter
    Betts has had a great spring. He has very few bad ABs and he hits the ball hard to all fields. He has earned a job. Who is the odd man out?
  25. a700hitter
    If our number 5 starter goes down, we have another one of those -- Miley. We don't have a number 1.
