    Yes. The one thing that hampered them last year was the lack of a true closer.

    Said it better than me.

    How about taking into consideration that they've had two and a half seasons to jump through the three (at least) levels of the farm system. So you can't say they haven't come along fairly quickly. This may have actually been the issue with Buchholz last year, in retrospect. They rushed him. Busts happen. Place is a bump in the road. Yes, which is why I noted 'or first pick overall', after 'first round picks'. Are you trying to use that against me somehow?? Murphy would have been in the 20/110 range last year if not for his injury. I don't know how you can discount Murphy on the Rangers, seeing as they have the league's best offense. Their s***** pitching is what constantly holds them back. You're blaming the Sox for Hagadone getting injured? He put some decent numbers prior to the injury.

    What we signed = little to no risk Your suggestion = minus a draft pick

    Buchholz, Lowrie, and Ellsbury were all taken in 2005 (along with Bowden) and only recently have gotten their shots in the majors. 2006 we drafted Masterson and Daniel Bard in the first two rounds. One of those guys is already serving as a set up man in the majors, and the other is being touted as a future closer. Hagadone is in the pipeline right now, he could be a future lefty starter for the big club. You forgot they took David Murphy in 2003, who had 74 RBIs and 15 homers in 2/3 of the season last year (and an .806 OPS). Pretty much all these guys I listed, as well the ones you listed, the Sox took with their first pick. Now that we've established that with the first pick is where Theo does his damage, do you really want to throw it away for Derek Lowe or Ben Sheets? 350 is a bogus sample size for the discussion. Its the first round pick that we lose if we do this your way. Its those first round picks (or first picks overall) that have been so impressive. Forget about the late rounders.

    Throughout baseball, 1 in 10 become major leaguers. However, the Red Sox are one of the few teams out there that actually know how to draft.

    My gut feeling is we won't be seeing him at all. He's in his 40s coming off major shoulder surgery. Not promising.

    One setback, and he's gone.

    f*** this f***ing team.

    Yes I do want them to do something. I don't want them to make a high-risk, stupid move. That's all.

    Again, I'm not talking anything drastic.
  23. Jacoby_Ellsbury
    What in the name of hell are you talking about?
  24. Jacoby_Ellsbury
    Psychology is a large part of the game. Its a move to shake up the current pulse of the team, and hopefully get them winning. I could have sworn I already covered this. I could be wrong, though.
  25. Jacoby_Ellsbury
    Oh. Yeah, that's perfect. The Celtics have lost a slew of games to sub-par teams, but Danny Ainge shouldn't do a damn thing. I'm just suggesting that he just make a minor roster move, for the sole purpose of getting the Celtics' heads away from the losing streak and get them focusing on their new teammate. Or maybe Doc can pull out a baseball strategy and get tossed from a game. Psychology is a large part of the game, buddy. No, I'll just sit pretty and not think about a way to end the skid. I'll except this slop for what it is. f*** improvement.
