Who would you prefer to be our opening day 3b and LF? Would you use a platoon at either position?
-
It's one thing if he was just following a plan and letting the best players play. He seems to just be haphazardly deciding what they lineup would be. Maybe he has made his own thoughts known in the media, but is now singing a different tune with DUMBrowski and ownership itching for success in the near future? I'm ok with a platoon of Holt and Young in theory. Does that mean Marrero has a future with this team as middle infield sub?
-
He averages about 178 innings per year. It's possible that he could pitch 200 innings this year, but he's not a surefire workhorse like Shields. If he pitched like 2014 for the next few years, no one would complain about the contract.
-
I'm sure we know as much as Farrell does. I'm hoping for an 0-6 start, Farrell gets canned, Lovullo is promoted and the Sox play like they did at the end of last year. If Farrell sticks around knowing that he's on the hot seat, the Sox may crawl to AS break at .500.
-
C'mon, it was much better back in the early 90's when you could walk up on game day and buy a seat. Have you ever seen the replay of Nomar's 4 HR game, or Roger's 20K game? Fenway was half full! THOSE WERE TRUE FANS! NOT LIKE THE NAMBY PAMBY PINK HATTED SWEET CAROLINE SINGING WALLY WAVING PHONEYS OF TODAY!!!
-
That's what the PawSox are for.
-
Pretty much. He was the worst positional player in the game last year. It's about performance, not body type.
-
I'm not sure starting Pablo would do the team any good either... The rotation right now is Price (ace), Buccholz (injured by AS break), Porcello (pitching like garbage atm), Kelly (has never pitched well for a full season) and Wright (never been a full time starter and is just a stand in for ERod who is hurt and who know when he'd pitch again). I'd say Shields is quite the upgrade at SP since he can consistently pitch 200 innings, which Porcello/Kelly/Buccholz/Wright/Rodriguez are unlikely to do.
-
The Padres current 3b at one time was the #15 prospect in baseball. Why block him with Pablo? The "rumors" also state the Sox would send a prospect too. Who would you give up?
-
That's fine and the correct thing to do. However, he says a lot of things that are not based in reality. He is probably the least informed of all the beat writers.
-
I ignore everything Cafardo says.
-
But what should I do with my pitchfork?!?!?!?
-
But he doesn't want to. If he did, they'd keep him around.
-
Also, it's not just the BoSox calling the Padres, the Padres are talking to a bunch of other teams too.
-
I'd rather have Tyson Ross in our rotation than Kelly or Porcello. He's a step up from those guys and is about the same as Buccholz (except that he could pitch 200 innings). He's also arbitration eligible through next year.
-
No. They pulled back from doing that since there was more of a need at 3b. See, it's not just internet commentators that are worried about Pablo at 3b...
-
David Murphy is a fringe major leaguer at this point in his career. Stashing him on your roster is silly. You can always pick up a guy like that throughout the year for minimal cost.
-
Theo's problem was that he couldn't figure out how to swim with the sharks (LL, Muppet Werner and Vlad Dracul). Francona was a great coach. He's the best Sox manager I've seen in my lifetime.
-
But what about the 40 man roster implications?
-
Source says Sox don't savor sucky Shields. Padres FO not putrid enough to ponder Panda.
-
"Accidental..."
-
Playoff appearances >>> lottery tickets
-
f*** the Cubs and their s***** fanbase.
-
If Pablo plays better than Shaw in April and May, he should be given the job for the rest of the season unless he shits the bed at some point.
-
My thoughts about this team and about posters on this board are mutually exclusive. If DUMBrowski makes a smart move that this board frowns upon, it won't affect how I feel about it.
