    yes. Dempster and Peavy both mastered the art of pitching just good/bad enough to lose. 4 walks by Webster. The kid has no command. It's just the 4th inning. Follow that up with a will pitch. Kid sucks.

    I have seen enough of him. Small sample size and growing pain excuses just don't cut it. He is never going to be a star with the bat. The only question that remains is whether he can do enough to stay in the bugs.
  3. a700hitter
    That might be a record. The kid is a 4th OFer type at best.

    "Mr. Automatic Out Jr." With a 3 pitch strikeout to start the 4th inning. Good morning. Good afternoon. Good night.
  5. a700hitter
    He definitely suffers from "head up ass" disease.

    How about some fundamentals Webster? Maybe pay some attention to the runners to keep them at first and second with the double play in order. For crying out loud! Your catcher has a gun. Just give him a chance.

    I am just hoping that Webster has a couple of good starts so he can have some trade value. We need to free up some space on the 40 man roster.
  8. a700hitter
    Screw them. It's the only fun that we have these days.
  9. a700hitter
    Ortiz is a hitting god!
  10. a700hitter
    Vasquez has a gun and he is doing better with the bat than I had expected. Bradley (aka the automatic out) ends the inning.

    By committing to them for the whole season, they have exposed their shortcomings. Right now, they have to ride it out with these kids as they have lost most of the lustre that they had as prospects. Prior to this season, they would have been nice centerpieces for a Stanton trade. Now, Miami wouldn't consider them.

    This is not a high pressure start for Webster, because we are just competing for last place. Maybe he will not need his diaper.
  13. a700hitter
    Same old s***.

    There are so few of us posting these days. If it were possible our posts would echo because the place is so empty. Bells, Fred, Spud and I should just do an internet Sox talk show. Spud would be the host/straight man and Bells, me and Fred would be the arguing talking heads. Fred would be the money. The switchboard would light up from people wanting to cuss out Fred. VA Soxfan , you are on the air. Lol!

    They made a huge mistake in not going hard after Abreu.
  16. a700hitter
    He is a genetically engineered combination of Alan Embree and Heathcliff Slocumb.

    I am getting tired of hearing and reading the excuse for XB that most guys his age are in AA. The truth is that he has played like a AA player. He has been completely overwhelmed. That's no rap on him. The FO should have recognized the fact that he was out of his league and sent him back to AAA for more seasoning. Contrary to what others have posted, he has not proved everything he needed to prove in the minors. Let him dominate at AAA and learn how to play SS. He didn't dominate at AAA.

    Excellent point. Ben is going to have to do more than walk and chew gum at the same time.
  19. a700hitter
    Very weird line up.
  20. a700hitter
    I'd get him and sign him now. He's not going to be a high profile FA. I think that he could be locked down now.
  21. a700hitter
    The Skanks are reportedly interested in Willingham. He is a potent bat. I wouldn't mind seeing him in LF for us for the next 2 or 3 years. Ben shouldn't let a guy like him slip through his fingers while he is in sell mode. You need to be building while selling. It's not that hard to do both at the same time. It's like walking while chewing gum.

    it was a pretty reasonable hunch in light of how long it took Drew to find some timing at the plate when he came back. Drew's progress was very slow. While I didn't expect Victorino's progress to be as glacial as Drew's, I didn't expect Drew to come out of the box smokin hot. We have Victorino for another season and hopefully he can stay healthy, because he is a key to the team. Since there will be a lot of work for the FO to do just to be competitive, they need to acquire an OFer for the longer term. Even if Betts and Bradley hold down two of the OFer positions, we will need a big stick out there.

    We are engaging in pipedreams.

    i was out of the country at the end of May and missed his hot streak. The rest of the season has been terrible. He has been an offensive nonentity.
  25. a700hitter
    XB has been a huge disappointment. He hasn't even shown flashes of brilliance-- not in the field or at bat. The season has been a huge zero for him. The kid is not going to be a star. As for Bradley...just plain yuk. He' s a defensive replacement, and there is no room on today's pitching heavy rosters for such players.
