  1. Who is the last super hyped Sox prospect to fall flat? I can't really think of any in recent memory. Youk Hanley Lester Ellsbury Paplebon Buchholz (maybe? still had a decent career) LARS ANDERSON Xander Mookie Moncada Devers Beni Of these guys, only Lars Anderson fits the bill. Seems like the most hyped guys have worked out?
  2. I don't think replacing Mayer with Correa is a great idea. The part of the reason you keep Mayer around is due to the cost savings from his first 6 years in MLB. I'm not sure Downs, Dalbec or Duran have a ton of trade value right now. Yorke is still a big question mark, but I think you hold onto him because of his ceiling. The best trade chip they have is Verdugo. He's young and cost controlled. He's already a proven MLB commodity.
  3. How does the team improve if Casas fizzles out AND JD is traded? If JD is traded, they better be sure about Casas.
  4. Casas is already a decent 1b. No reason to move him off position.
  5. It's they only thing they are truly good at.
  6. Not very well.
  7. This is supposed to be a politics free zone.
  8. With no Hendu, they don't make the World Series.
  9. The only Putin I know is puttin' Arroyo on the IL.
  10. Armas was on the bench because he was injured and sucked.
  11. Henderson was in the starting lineup. What does that have to do with the bench?
  12. He wasn't truly benched until the injury in Game 5 of the ALCS.
  13. Lyons was traded for Seaver midseason. Armas sucked in 1986 and didn't start one game in the WS due to injury.
  14. That bench of Romero, Stapleton, Sullivan, Hoffman and Armas was pathetic.
  15. Combs' #1 was retired... for Billy Martin.
  16. Home/Away WRC+ 2006 104/131 2007 103/98 2008 129/122 2009 135/109 (new Yankee Stadium) If you look at the entire stretch, I'm not sure playing in NY made a big difference. He had a career 93+ at old Yankee Stadium vs 106 at Kauffman, 109 at Fenway and 119 at Comerica.
  17. His defense wasn't even THAT good. Waste of a roster spot. 100%.
  18. Stapleton was a waste of a roster spot. 39 Games (29 Games at 1b) 42 PA's -17 WRC+ -0.7 fWAR
  19. Damon fWAR: 2006 3.6 2007 2.4 2008 3.8 2009 3.6 Total 13.4 BOS CF fWAR: 2006 0.7 2007 5.6 2008 5.9 2009 2.3 Total 14.5 The initial returns were not ideal. It's easier to ignore 2006 knowing what we know now.
  20. Casas at 16? Fangraphs must not ding him for playing 1b the way other lists do.
  21. So that's why Buckner let it go through his legs... his palms were greasy.
  22. You get 10% off ONE purchase in the online team store. 10% off all purchases at the team store on Jersey St.
