    So we should be prepared for 2-3 more years of last place?

    Rivero in for Middlestinks. Hey, a hit in his first AB. Congratulations. That's a week of work for Middlestinks.

    Here's Barnes in his debut. Good luck kid.
  4. a700hitter
    His stuff is nothing special.

    Ranaudo is giving up some bombs.

    Nava is a terrible base runner.
  7. a700hitter
    6 through 9 are very weak.

    It is rare to develop 3 fulltime average position players at the same time nevermind them being stars. But sometimes three prospects can be turned into a star in a trade. People might scream about gutting the system, but you would be getting a bona fide star. We held on to our chips thinking they were gold, but instead they turned out to be Buffalo Chips.

    Third baseman of the future!!!:rolleyes:

    I dumped all of my tickets from June until September at a loss. It wasn't worth the trip up there to see the horror show, and I couldn't get anyone to join me. So, I dumped them just like in 2012.

    Another shutout. How many is that? I am not used to this from Red Sox teams in my 48 years of fandom. What is the percentage of our runs for which Ortiz is responsible?

    if the attack van be verified without the testimony of the spouse, law enforcement can prosecute the case. It makes it very difficult to have a successful prosecution without the help of the spouse, because spouse can claim extenuating circumstance or that it was not an assault etc.

    So the author concludes that the probability that Bradley will be toast is overwhelming. As for Xander being our next superstar, he has a 50/50 chance of becoming a Chris Speier type performer. Oh boy, we are on our way back to prominence. He has a 13% probability of becoming an above average performer. They have clearly hit more than a bump in the road - they are experiencing more than ordinary growing pains.

    Maybe one of the positives that will come out of 2014 will be that the owners and FO will come to the conclusion that our scouting department needs some revamping.

    Middlebrooks ahead on the count 3-0 with bases loaded and one out proceeds to k on the next 3 pitches. Oye!

    Is Jenny Dell sitting behind home plate tonight?
  17. a700hitter
    He has a good batting eye and he hits the ball where it is pitched.
  18. a700hitter
    Prior to 2014, he was still known as a legitimate power threat. After putting up 2 knocks in 200 ABs, it's hard to sell anyone on that attribute.
  19. a700hitter
    What about Middlebrooks? You don't think his value has diminished? As for XB, while we may be a long way off from knowing whether he will be a solid major league ballplayer, we pretty much know that he is not going to live up to the "through the roof" hype that was floating around before the beginning of 2013.
  20. a700hitter
    Good riddance you bum.
  21. a700hitter
    What do the physicals by our medical staff entail? Is it limited to "open wide and ahhh"?
  22. a700hitter
    And it comes at the expense of a flame out year. The cost was extremely high. Stanton was just an example. The FO gets paid to know which prospects to pump and dump and which to hold onto. They blew it. It's that simple. They could have moved these guys before the 2014 season and gotten a sweet return. If you want to give them an excuse for this, fine. I don't. And the fact is that these players lost a lot of value since opening day. Chalking it up to bad luck is a bit of a cop out, unless you also attribute the successes to luck.

    I am not sure what you mean by the highlighted sentence. Are you saying that most teams do not have the opportunity to crash and burn and come in last place as the result of bringing up 3 prospects and handing them starting positions? There is nothing positive to be taken from 2014 except that Big Papi is still a beast with the bat. We traded our good pitchers and kept the trash pitchers. Our prospects blew up in our faces. These prospects were so highly touted that a package containing all of them had a shot to net us Stanton. Now, they could fetch us very little.

    I think that management is going to tell him that he needs to re-establish himself if he wants to have a shot at making the 2015 roster. The guy should just be thankful that he hasn't been dumped as a throw in in a trade.
  25. a700hitter
    The guy is a shell of himself. He just looks completely lost at the plate.
