    Welcome to the board IO. I agree, getting Wright or Reyes would cost the sox something of MLB caliber, probably Ellsbury plus Kelly

    Ivan Nova really, really has impressed me. He's shown his inexperience in some of his setting up of hitters and his mental mistakes on 0-2, etc. But his 3 pitch repertoire is very impressive. With more experience, he is gonna be an innings eater. I just hope we dont dump him this offseason for a "veteran" who might be no better than he is

    Maples are billed as having a denser and wider sweet spot, but there have been studies proving that the build of the bat makes no difference in the distance the ball is hit. There is definitely a different feel and sound coming off the bat. IMO, the maple has a better "sound" to it even when you get jammed a little. But I scrapped the maple and went to ash. Maple is a little lighter as well. But I felt like the ash just felt better in my hand.

    Scouts seem to like both. But Murphy has shown much more power potential than Romine, especially when you consider that JR hit 6 of his 7 homers after July 1 and saw his OPS jump to .760 post ASB. And, he's a young HS draftee from a yr ago as he turned 19 in May. Regardless, I think Murphy's bat will be a huge part of his game, not sold on his D yet. Romine is starting to show the kind of player he will be. He started out white hot in Trenton, then cooled off something fierce the last 3 months. My guess is that some sort of mechanical adjustment was made. But Romine is the more complete catcher and truly the only guy I would peg as a true blue catcher out of anyone in the system. Murphy, I think, could be a very solid corner OFer. Montero probably ends up as a 1b halfway through his career. Sanchez is too young really to project. Regardless, as of right now, I think Romine has a serious future with this club as a catcher

    Gonna take this out of the Sox prospect forum and respond in the Yankee forum

    http://msn.foxsports.com/mlb/story/MLB-latest-news-from-September-090110 Boras already hyping up his FA prize. He likens him to Matt Holliday and says he has the closing speed of a CFer in the OF. Regardless, look for a $100 mil deal for the guy

    I played with both ash and maple. I think the bigger concern is the way they are lathed down nowadays. The thin handles are just as much to blame as the maple IMO

    I agree, but the interest spikes when their rating inflates, albeit the last few times that inflation has been artificial
  9. jacksonianmarch
    well, that sucked

    I have umbrage with pinch hitting for Pena there. Pena is a better bet to make contact which is what you needed there. I would have saved Thames for later in the inning
  11. jacksonianmarch
    why couldnt we get a manager like that?
  12. jacksonianmarch
    you have to be f***ing kidding me
  13. jacksonianmarch
    MLB.com has strike 1 to Pena very far inside

    They seem to have a highly nationally ranked team about every 5 yrs that always fails at the end of the yr. When they go a decade without a contending team, then their contract may not be renewed. But you need to remember, their advertising and tradition gained them a ton of fans that had no link to the college itself. It would take a long run of s*** to drop enough fans to make their national coverage moot. And with the way Kelly has the offense, my guess is that next season, they'll be back in the national spotlight

    I think Sanchez or Romine are the long term future at C. I think Montero will be a split C/DH until Tex leaves and then moves to 1b full time at the ripe age of 26
  16. jacksonianmarch
    Which is pretty similar to Posada

    Get this out of your system now Mo.
  19. jacksonianmarch
    Well Mo, you cannot throw it there vs a lefty power hitter. So be it. 3-3

    I would if I wasnt a pretty big ND fan. Unfortunately, this team is at least a yr away from being 9-10 win level. And I'm the overnight guy in the pit tonight. Enjoy the games. Time to work
  21. jacksonianmarch
    Win #20 for CC, I think he is gonna win the CY even though Felix is having the best individual yr as a pitcher. But CC has been f***ing money
  22. jacksonianmarch
    Granderson is hitting well since the adjustment. Good to see the O coming out to play. 11-3. Too bad Rodney blew the save in TB, but that game is goin to extras
  23. jacksonianmarch
    I like the new offensive style of ND, but Crist just isnt as good as Clausen. Lots of passes off target and the INT down at the 10 yd line that started MSUs TD drive was inexcuseable
  24. jacksonianmarch
    The sox definitely were decimated by injury. But the results stand. 2010 is over for you
  25. jacksonianmarch
    He's a 4th OFer at best in the future. He isnt a 4th OFer right now. The problem is, we'd either have to live with Thames in the OF or with Kearns who has been a black hole of suck lately. Until Swish can play the OF, we will have a black hole out there
