    Unless he hits like Bradley.

    Rubby has been a bright spot. Webster still has a lot of work to prove that he can have the consistent command needed to be in the majors. Kelly wasn't our farmhand. The biggest disappointment has been XB and Bradley are two most highly valued prospects. There is no sugar coating their crashing to the earth.

    This has me wondering about a couple of things. How close is he to being ready to play and the suspension has me wondering if he is a bad apple.
  4. a700hitter
    Very surpirsing.
  5. a700hitter
    I don't think that he can be viewed as the incumbent CFer in the off season. He will have to win the job back. I would expect someone else to be installed as the starting CFer in 2015 and Bradley would have to catch a break and capitalize on it to win back the job.
  6. a700hitter
    Agreed. Unless this guy is the real deal, look to the major league talent.
  7. a700hitter
    And he can be very valuable in that role.
  8. a700hitter
    He wasn't just aq bystander in 2011 and 2012. He was a member of the FO team, but fair enough he shouldn't be completely tarred with that debacle. But to say that he has hit a few bumps in the road with the youth/cost-controlled internal rebuilding process would be an understatement. His ship is taking on major water after destroying the value of the franchises two most sought after prospects.

    They insisted on keeping him in the majors despite the fact that he is not close to mlb ready. They have destroyed his value. In one season, the value of their two biggest chips has blown up. Just think of the possible return that could have been had for them prior to the beginning of 2014. They completely wasted the value of 2 big assets. I have always said that prospects should be hyped and traded to smaller market teams for established major leaguers. The go young go cheap philosophy has really blown up in their faces. This comes closely on the heels of failing miserably at building with expensive stars. Ben has proved that he has trouble executing either strategy.

    Sure. But it is disturbing to break the streak too. Boston has always been a very strong team at Fenway. I don't know where this year's home record stands in Sox history, but it is probably ranked pretty low. Also, anytime the team does things that have not been done since before 1967, it is never a good thing.

    The Mets have been so dead for several years that a Met fan friend of mine told me that he longs for the days of Omar Minaya. Lol!
  12. a700hitter
    The first sweep of the Red Sox at Fenway by the Angels since 1962. More record breaking bad stuff for this team.
  13. a700hitter
    Mujica is in the game. It is surprising how many pitchers bless themselves when they enter a game when it is the fans who should be praying.
  14. a700hitter
    Nava batting 3rd for the Boston Red Sox? I know that Spud likes him and he has a great story, but batting 3rd? I hope there is something else on the tube.
  15. a700hitter
    There are no other guys. No Ortiz means that I will watch something else.
  16. a700hitter
    I can't believe that it is not even September yet. This season has seemed like an eternity. This is what it is like when the last meaningful game you played was Opening Day. The wears on you. You can see wearing effect of losing on the field. They are playing sloppier ball lately. It is tough to play all out every night when the games have meant nothing for months.

    We have a guy on our team that explodes your whole theory that heart and intangibles don't matter (if that is your point). That would be Dustin Pedroia who has no plus natural tool. He's not fast. He doesn't have a very stong arm. He doesn't have a lot of power. And his diminutive size doesn't help either. He was drafted with the 64th pick. No one projected him as an MVP type player. His physical abilities just did not dictate such a projection. However, when you watch the guy on a daily basis, you realize that his desire and his exceptional instincts make him a great player. Heart, desire and innate baseball IQ all matter and they are very difficult to scout.

    The Yankees should not be messing around with an attempt to bring back Tanaka this season. Their only decision should be whether rest and rehab will heal him completely for next season. If not, he should be getting the TJ ASAP.
  19. a700hitter
    And Billy Beans has the world championships to validate his method;-) . Baseball is great for copycats. If someone has some success, other follow. The latest fad is the ridiculous overuse of the over- shift.
  20. a700hitter
    He's clueless. Last year, he benefitted from following the despised Bobby Valentine, so the players busted their asses for him.
  21. a700hitter
    I trust my dad who saw them all play. James probably never saw Snider. He definitely never saw DiMaggio.
  22. a700hitter
    Ortiz hard been one of the few bright spots for this team. It is a shame that they surrounded him with such garbage.
  23. a700hitter
    What just happened. Who went down?
  24. a700hitter
    He has terrible base running instincts.
  25. a700hitter
    Spud, you paint a bleak picture, but I think each of your concerns is valid.
