Boston Red Sox 2010 draft picks

I gotta agree 100%. As much as I love Bucholz, he is not a sure thing, unlike a proven hitter in his prime like Gonzales.
-
This might not be the right forum to post, so if that is the case, sorry. Living in Baton Rouge, its tough to follow the Sox but I was wondering if there are "must read books" for every Sox fan. I have read Faithful by Steven King, but certainly there are better known books out there. Thanks in advance.

I agree that Drew should be higher in the lineup. Doubtful this will happen, but I'd like to see this lineup, noting the Lowrie, Ellsbury and Pedroia would bat in order one the lineup turns over. Pedroia Drew Ortiz Youklis Bay Lowell Tek Lowrie Ellsbury

The history between these two has been well-documented, but the more I got to thinking, I really wish they would have gone after each other Friday night. In '04, the A-Rod v. Varitek fight seemed to ignite something in the Sox and I believe went a long way to World Series win. This team is so talented, but is mostly devoid of the passion of the '04 Idiots. If this team had the fire in their belly, the Sox would be the story of the Majors and there would be no stories about the Angels, Rays... I hope Youk gets the chance to teach Joba's young ass a thing or two. your thoughts?
-
Thanks. I believe that Cole Hamels and Prince Fielder have made similar requests and their respective teams do not want to set the precedent of breaking initial contracts to enter into long-term deals.

Does anyone have an ESPN Insider subscription? (I'm too cheap for the insider BS) One of the headlines in their Rumor Central section says: "Papelbon contract talks at standstill" and the other one says: "Papelbon, agents meet with Sox" What's the deal with this? Can anyone post a summary of the article? Thanks

First the Sox win the series, which alone makes my year. Then over the course of 36 hours, my beloved LSU goes from losing its head coach and defensive coordinator and having a so-so shot at beating Tennessee to playing for the BCS national championship. Great Year for me. We may even get Johan Santana, anyone wanna go to the casino?
-
thanks a bunch.

would I be a dick if I wanted the follow to occur? Trade Manny, Lugo. Wake retires. Resign Lowell, Schilling. Sign A-rod. Lineup looks like this: Ellsbury - LF Pedroia - 2B Ortix - DH A-Rod - SS Lowell - 3B Youklis - 1B Drew - RH Varitek - C Crisp - CF Better on Offense, and Defense Rotation: Beckett Schilling Matsuzaka Lester Buchholz I think this would drasticly improve an already amazing team.
-
I have confidence in Lester throwing in Game 4. He pitched much better in Game 4, than in his horrible Game 2 outing. Wake appears to finally be showing signs of his age.
-
Wow, Thanks for the post. It is very informative.
-
Manny - can he be productive?
redsticknation replied to redsticknation's topic in Boston Red Sox Talk
Thanks for the confidence. I hope he can be refreshed for October. -
Folks, I ask this question because as a natural optimist, I want to believe that Tito has been being overly cautious with Manny, not wanted to rush his recovery. Let's hope anyway. Assuming that he is healthy and ready to go for the playoff series, is it possible for him to be effective in Games 1 & 2 without having seen live pitching in over month? How does he get ready? Does our pitching staff give him "their good stuff" so he can get his timing down. Do our better AAA guys throw some pitches to him? I don't know and would like some input. Or should I be a cynic and come to the realization that his/our season is over?
-
Is JD's quad injury serious?

-
I saw the game on ESPN and was disappoint that he left the game, espcially after his first inning bomb. Any word?
-
Griffey is staying put. He is the only reason people go to see the Reds in Cincinnati. Plus it would create a defensive liability in our outfield.
-
Could he be a realistic option to be used later this season? He pitched really well yesterday against a good ballclub, and it seems that at the very least he would be a serviceable set up guy in August/September, especially given out southpaw-thin bullpen. What are your thoughts.

Schilling - 15-7, 3.76 era Beckett - 17-8, 4.02 era Matsuzaka - 19-5, 3.12 era Wakefield - 12-10, 4.65 era Taverez - 6-8, 4.95 era Lester, 8-3, 4.16 era Papelbon 38 saves (of 40) 1.12 era

Thanks, maybe I am just losing my mind.
-
I don't get to see a lot of the games since I live in Baton Rouge, but I caught today's game with the Pirates. Pedoria batted lead-off and it looked like between pitches he got into Nomar's wacky between pitches glove adjustment, bat-hitting-the-shoes-thing, and even his stance and swing look awfully similar to No-Mah. Has anyone else notice this, or am I living in '99? Is this common knowledge?
-
Someone mentioned him earlier and I whole-heartedly agree the Miguel Cabrera is on the verge of being the most well rounded hitter in baseball.

NOLA: I am from Baton Rouge, good luck with the Zephs. RedStick Nation

Thanks, for the information, and for the knowledge that I have not angered the Gods of the Talk Sox message board

I was wondering and I apologize if this is common knowledge, but what is Jon Lester's return date. Will he be ready for the start of the season, or will is it more like summer, or could he rehab for an entire year. I saw the picture of him working out, and it got me wondering. Thanks in advance.
