    Bad take. Kelly has been really great this year.
  2. mvp 78
    Boston media had no issue pushing that story over and over.

    If they never moved him to LF in 2016, we probably wouldn't be having this conversation right now. We'd have a much better idea on if he has any value as a long term solution at C. I'm still not sure moving him to a super sub role so early in his career was a good move. Sox should have treated him the way Biggio was developed. https://www.fangraphs.com/statss.aspx?playerid=549&position=2B Spend a couple of years full time at C and if it doesn't work out, then move him elsewhere. Sox screwed the pooch there.

    SSS alert!

    Difference between Castillo and Swihart is that Castillo is being paid handsomely.

    My first game was started by Oil Can Boyd. He was a bad ass who was probably the exact opposite of Lonborg.
  7. mvp 78
    It was bad enough that I believe even the broadcasters talked about him throwing to the wrong bag. He definitely is a guy that needs to be coached up on the finer points of the game.
  8. mvp 78
    You should have finished the job!
  9. mvp 78
    Nope. I don't believe it matters in the least.

    Machado is one of the best players in the game whose contract runs out at the end of the year. Swihart is the 25th man on a roster only because he's out of option years. Not the same at all.

    Guys in AAA that can help: Poyner (taxi squad), Walden (taxi squad), Scott, Workman and Martin. Maybe they could even catch lightning in a bottle with Buttrey?

    Relief help doesn't typically cost a 2 win player.
  13. mvp 78
    And he's a generally unfriendly person in real life.
  14. mvp 78
    I don't see how you can attribute that solely to JBJ being on the bench.
  15. mvp 78
    He cut his hair, that's a con now. That baserunning is rough. He had trouble for a while throwing to the correct bag or cutoff man. I haven't noticed that recently tho.
  16. mvp 78
    He's not like Machado in any manner.
  17. mvp 78
    There were some judgement calls in that list. Fortunately, some of the good names had several uni numbers. I don't know what it is about Stan Papi. Just rolls off the tongue better than Rothrock.
  18. mvp 78
    You're being too kind. He had a miserable OPS of 538 last year in AAA. The only reason he's on the team is because he is out of options. He's not deserving of a MLB roster spot right now.
  19. mvp 78
    He was a starting C all last year in Pawtucket. The results were fairly poor. I think the Sox saw the writing on the wall that his development at C was just not working out and they wanted to move on.
  20. mvp 78
    Did 2013 look like a championship team on May 17th? I don't remember people thinking that way.
  21. mvp 78
    I'm not sure the runs are due to JBJ sitting. How many extra balls would he have gotten to? 2? 3 at best? I don't it's even that many.
  22. mvp 78
    Sounds more like the telephone game to me. Not sure Smith was blaming anyone for his injury. Just stating why he got injured.
  23. mvp 78
    Beni can't play RF in Fenway. Not sure he could reach 2b with a throw from the corner in RF. His arm is pretty terrible.
  24. mvp 78
    Why? Because he signed a three year extension in March.
  25. mvp 78
    Those who don’t remember May are doomed to repeat it.
