    I know next to zero about this guy, but you can never have too many bullpen arms. You never know who will be the next Brasier.

    It's up there. 1986: Clemens, Hurst, Boyd, Seaver, Nipper 1978: Torrez, Eck, Tiante, Lee, Wright Those were pretty good too.

    https://www.boston.com/sports/boston-red-sox/2018/12/17/tim-neverett-la-dodgers-broadcast-team Missed the news that Neverett was leaving NESN. “I chose to let my contract expire rather than go back and work for them,’’ said Neverett, who was told by station executives in June to start looking for another job, but had hoped that the situation would get better. “The Red Sox were very supportive of me during a very difficult year,’’ he said. “They wanted me to return. It had nothing to with the Red Sox.” WEEI sucks.

    I never really gravitated towards Boggs as a younger fan so his loss didn't bother me. I loved Mo Vaughn, but he left at a time I was watching a lot less baseball. I remember when Nomar left that it was like a whole new world, like going through a breakup that you initiated. There was a feeling of loss but that you'd be better for it. With Lester, you could see the writing on the wall with the ownership not wanting to re-sign him. It wasn't a surprise to me.

    I think he's a "break glass in case of fire" guy. If they really needed him (injury or whatever), he'd get called up.
  6. mvp 78
    He's borderline, but paid like an All Star. He's not going anywhere.

    I'm not sure Betts even has a grudge to begin with. He's the one who wants to go year to year. I bet the Sox would love to ink him long term now. He's gonna get paid and he'll deserve it. If he goes elsewhere, it'll be the hardest organizational loss since Clemens left (and Mookie's could still be worse).

    5 Hr's in 2018 is "some pop"? His ground ball rate has been exceedingly high going back to 2014. It has nothing to do with injuries. A 31 year old OPSing 776 in AAA shouldn't be expecting a call up anytime soon. His defense isn't THAT good. He's just not worth it to any team at that price point. Don't cry for him. He's making bank.

    It's a combination of old people, transplants, a s***** stadium and a spread out population.

    Whatchagonnado Toledo when Gorkysmania runs wild on yooooooooooooou!
  11. mvp 78
    Yeah, no.
  12. mvp 78
    No one ever listens to me.
  13. mvp 78
    Is this a Gorkys Hernandez post or yet another post about trading JBJ?
  14. mvp 78
    Re-signing a minor league free agent who was with the club last year? That's up to you.
  15. mvp 78
    He was definitely slowing down in the stretch run and I believe there are questions about his arm.
  16. mvp 78
    That's unfair! You can change the amount of posts you see per page in settings.
  17. mvp 78
    There are better Rule 5 picks out there than a guy who sucked in the AFL, has crazy splits, wears down every year and doesn't have a good glove at 1b.
  18. mvp 78
    MLB Plate Appearances against 186 different pitchers.
  19. mvp 78
    1.167 OPS against Trevor Bauer in multiple starts.
  20. mvp 78
    He's so old, that he caught for Aaron Harang.
  21. mvp 78
    Actually played against the Sox in the playoffs in 2017.
  22. mvp 78
    Has already suited up for 5 different MLB teams.
  23. mvp 78
    111 games played from 13 - 18.
  24. mvp 78
    I think it was more about the proliferation of the same threads (i.e. don't add another starting pitcher discussion thread when there already is one, don't add a post about how angry last night's game made you when there already is a game thread, don't start another discussion about trading Pedroia when there already is a thread on the front page specifically discussing it). If someone wanted to make a MiLB transaction thread specifically for BOS moves, it could make sense.
  25. mvp 78
    I think it's a fine idea that any move the Sox makes gets its own post. If you aren't paying attention, someone like Esteban Quiroz gets traded but you'll never know because it's buried in a 100 page long offseason thread that no normal person has time to read.
