So far so good, hopefully they can get a better OF than McDonald or maybe make a run at Cespedes. Still want to see them sign Oswalt of course to round things out.

It would be cool to be friends with Redsox Players

Sickels List: -Think Middlebrooks should be at the top as he is performing well at high levels and has great tools all around, I think he's the blue chipper at the moment in the system -Cecchini and Jacobs positioned correctly in the 5 and 6 spots, with the potential to be the next big things in the system if all goes well in this coming year. -Ranuado too low, he should be in the 5-7 range and I think he's another candidate to move to the top with a turn around year. -Head is too low, I like him better than prospects like Stolmy, Doubront, (Weiland). BPN Rankings -Cecchini too high, like him as a prospect a lot but he needs to prove a lot more considering he has only had 100+ AB in SS Low-A. -Not real high on Iglesias till he starts hitting even decently at the high levels. Till then I think he belongs in the 10-15 range with the potential to move way up.

Ideal offseason plan: -Sign Oswalt -Trade Reddick+ for CL Bailey -Pick up decent RH OF to platoon with Kalish -Move Bard to rotation 1. Ellsbury CF 2. Pedroia 2B 3. Gonzales 1B 4. Youl 3B 5. Ortiz DH 6. Crawford LF 7. Salty C 8. Kalish RF 9. Scutaro 1. Lester 2. Beckett 3. Buchholz 4. Oswalt 5. Bard Bench C Shoppach IF Punto OF Free Agent IF Aviles OF McDonald Bullpen CL Bailey SU Melancon SU Jenks MR Albers MR Aceves MR Miller/Morales/Bowden

I don't think I'd even trade Kalish or Reddick straight up for him. He's never gotten over an .800 OPS in his 6 seasons and he'd be playing a corner OF role. And even if he did it would be with a terrible BA and OBP with a ton of strikeouts. Pass.

Decent 4.17 and 3.77 ERAs over the past two years, probably worth 4.5 mil a year
-
not to mention Ellsbury was a top 3 player in baseball last year...
-
Worst SP with a certain number of min innings pitched. He's definitely not the absolute worst pitcher to take the mound in 2011. Most teams wouldn't let a pitcher that bad pitch that many innings but given his massive contract and the fact that he wasn't injured, we didn't really have much of a choice.

Heartbreaking

late to this party but, hell yes /thread

Jonathan Papelbon, can we lock him up please?
Rdsxmbnt replied to SCM33's topic in Boston Red Sox Talk
because he was absolutely horrendous as a starter in the minors and immediately dominated upon switching to relief -

We don't know this yet. Really only Buchholz, Papelbon, Bard out of that group were can't miss prospects. There were certainly questions about Youk, Pedroia, Lester, Lowrie, and Ellsbury
-
Thats because once the 2005+2006 draft core started to reach the big leagues the team shifted its approach to more HS picks with its top picks. Thus there is a gap, but HSers like Kalish, Reddick (junior college), Anderson, Middlebrooks are starting to approach the majors when college guys would have been ready during that 08-10 gap.
-
And the two categories hes not are almost never associated with leadoff hitters, the fact that he has 19 HR and 72 RBI is pretty rare
-
Sure Gonzalez plays at a less important defensive position, but he plays it at an elite level. Granderson plays an important defensive position poorly
-
The 10-2 record is probably about as fluky as the 2-11 start, these things tend to normalize
-
I was looking through my old posts, and this one was interesting as it has now been 5 years
-
why are they rushing Banuelos so much, he's only 20 and while the results have been decent he's still giving up a ton of walks and hits to AA batters
-
wait now its Lin and not Chiang?

Is Trayvon even coming here? I think he's going to Seattle...
