  1. Cannot throw two consecutive strikes. CANNOT EVEN THROW TWO CONSECUTIVE STRIKES!!! (Clay says thank you for your help, Alexi Ramirez)
  2. Get the bullpen going.
  3. He was getting a lot of swings on FB's out of the zone last inning. Geeze, is it still only he second?
  4. Never fails, lose a big scoring chance in the last half inning, and they'll get one the next inning.
  5. He's missing two starts -- less than 2 weels -- in order to be as rested as possible for the stretch run. "In recent seasons?" The only "recent season" he's done this was last year. The difference of these two years over the past is unprecedented depth that avoids the need to do what Wakefield would have done in the same situation in the bad old days -- play hurt. Telling that he starts "breaking down" about the time the minor league season starts winding down, wouldn't you say?
  6. Last year Wakefield "broke down" to the tune of 189 or so innings pitched and 31 starts on the year. This season he has already thrown 150, was on pace for more than 200, and my guess is that if the Sox didn't feel like they had a host of available options Wakefield would be taking his next start. If he's a health-plagued borderline major leaguer I'm a fish. This has a whole lot more to do with scheduled rest than a significant injury IMNSHO. Welcome to Boston in advance, Charlie Zink.
  7. Useless popup. Useless baseball player.
  8. Don't suck, Coco!
  9. Would be great if Tek won one of these long AB's sometime EDIT: Hey, looka that!
  10. 2 out baserunners ain't gonna hack it.
  11. Giles would have been useful. Oh well.
  12. Comps at Soxprospects.com for Lowrie are Carlos Guillen and Bill Mueller. I'll take that, and then some. I don't think he's quite Jeterish, at least not with the bat, but he's shown a nice little ability to make situational contact and he's been very valuable for us. In the minors, he showed a .280-15-70 ish ceiling offensively (or .280/.350/.450 for the OBP-worshippers) If you can get a shortstop who can do that, and get by defensively, you definitely take it.
  13. RUmor du jour is that Giles is vetoing the trade -- he is not coming to Boston.
  14. A description of players who play well enough in AAA but never get promoted and/or struggle in the bigs because of some flaw or hole in their game (Jeff Bailey types)
  15. Also he wasn't 37 years old in the last year of his deal on a going-nowhere team when he ruled us out.
  16. The Red Sox acquired AAAA shortstop Josh Wilson and assigned him to Pawtucket. The acquisition means little but there was one possibly very significant thing that happened not long afterward. They assigned Josh Wilson the number 12 in Pawtucket. Significance? That was Jed Lowrie's Pawtucket number, and it's Lowrie's number again in Boston. If they were counting on seeing Lowrie again at AAA, wouldn't they hold that number in reserve? Thoughts?
  17. WHich also happen to be his age 28-31 seasons, and his HR " dropoff" coincides with his move to the monstrous Petco outfield as well as to a reasonable time for a decline phase
  18. You mean, they bear that out about as much as they bear out a normal, conventional career arc for a power-hitting OF?
  19. Not if they're working on a deal for him.
  20. He'd be a good candidate for a "veteran who wants a ring" trade. Considering the needs of the Padres it might be by-bye time for Chris Carter or Jeff Bailey.
  21. Would work if we were dropping Coco. Use Drew to back up Ellsbury in center and use JVE as injury insurance. Put Giles in the Kielty role. It could definitely work.
