    Jedster's continuing the clutch ways he showed back in '08. Keep an eye on how many times this guy extends the rally in a critical situation, because he already has at least 3 since he was called up.
  2. Dojji
    Odd, because it seems to me they already have. I don't think there's any real possibility that Saltalamacchia was brought in to rot in AAA. Theo loves the guy. I think there's a distinct possibility that BOTH of our catchers next year are in AAA right now.
  3. Dojji
    Meh. I happen to think that having 2 great relief talents on a team is a situation that should be cultivated. If we're in the same position next deadline as we are now, you look into what you can get for Paps, but the return had better be good.
  4. Dojji
    you're allowed to have more than one quality reliever you know. Just because Bard's the better pitcher doesn't necessarily mean Papelbon's a waste of the closer's spot, although it sometimes seems that way when Paps blows one. Bear in mind that Bard will have his share of rotten days and weaker than usual years too. I wouldn't make a call like that based on one year if it can be avoided -- and it can.

    None of them but Saltalamacchia are guys who could potentially start next year though. Possibly Ibarra, but I'd rather get him a year in the minors. He's very raw behind the plate.
  6. Dojji
    The return had better be stupendous, he's still better than all but a handful of the league's closers.

    One mediocre season isn't enough to make me throw Paps under the bus. He needs to show that he can make some adjustments though. That's one of the things that allows dominant pitchers to stay effective as they get older. Right now he's still trying to throw it by people. He needs to move to the next phase of a pitcher's career where he learns to pitch smart, as well as hard. If he can't, and it's obvious by the time FA comes along, he needs to go. At the moment though, he's still a very strong pitcher statistically even if he isn't as great as he used to be . 153 ERA+ doesn't grow on trees. I think fans need to adjust their expectations with Paps too. As he settles into a career, he's not always going to be brilliantly unstoppably awesome, sometimes he's just going to be really good, and we need to look at that and not have our expectations so out of whack that we call that "awful.'

    Hope so. It's about time for Ricky Vaughn to put his glasses back on.
  9. Dojji
    BTW really big to have Lowrie back. He's got a little bit of clutch to him. Already since he's come back he's been part of what, three late inning come from behind rallies? just keep an eye on how many times him getting on base extends a big rally.

  11. Dojji
    so not allowed to watch the game now
  12. Dojji
    For the record: Not watching right now.
  13. Dojji
    Over the last 2 months EVERY TIME I TUNE IN I tune in just in time to watch the Sox blow a lead. It's pathetic. It's gotten to the point that I'm actually afraid to watch the game.
  14. Dojji
    Wow. He's completely lost his mojo, hasn't he? Papelbon I mean.
  15. Dojji
    Clay screwed out of a scoreless outing and about to lose his win.
  16. Dojji
    http://redsox.mlb.com/team/roster_active.jsp?c_id=bos He is not on the 25 man roster. He's still on the DL. That is why he's not platooning -- at least for now.
  17. Dojji
    Can't platoon from the DL. Was he called up recently?
  18. Dojji
    The Red Sox have given up nothing. They didn't trade away any key veterans, in fact the only roster player they traded was having a terrible year, a possible addition by subtraction. This very much fit the definition of "stand pat" that we all projected to happen a couple days ago..
  19. Dojji
    Or a perfect Boston catcher.
  20. Dojji
    If you needed this trade to figure out that the season wasn't going anywhere you weren't a very knowledgeable fan. I just hope we get to see a lot of young guys to give the rest of this season some real meaning and give us something to watch. I wouldn't mind if guys who weren't going to be here at the end of the year were cut loose and sent to contenders "as a courtesy."
  21. Dojji
    Ohh, the bandwagon fans will desert, that's a given, the question is, are you willing to be referred to as one?
  22. Dojji
    Nothing for nothing. Mendez was quite raw. Talented, yes, but high bust potential too.
  23. Dojji
    Salty is definitely a next-year move anyway, whether he backs up V-Mart or plays in Pawtucket, so I'd rather get him his reps in Pawtucket.
  24. Dojji
    Yeah, because everything has ever been, is now and will ever be about this one year. Please try to look past the season and understand the organizational issues he's trying to address.

    Gave up: Ramon Ramirez Roman Mendez Chris McGuiness PTBNL Cash Got: Saltalamacchia Some schlub
