    I think having Erod start the season on the DL or in AAA is a great way to manage his innings.
  2. mvp 78
    What I do is just run overly long posts through a Word grammar check and watch my computer melt.
  3. mvp 78
    I guess I like to think everyone has a little positivity in them.
  4. mvp 78
    So Panda and Porcello were bad ideas then?
  5. mvp 78
    Hanley has looked ok. Porcello got hit hard, but he was only working on his fastball (i.e. not regular season pitch selection).
  6. mvp 78
    Murphy is definitely the odd man out at this point.
  7. mvp 78
    Shaw has already been fielding practice in LF and Farrell has stated that he likes Shaw's flexibility. He's a virtual lock to be on the opening day 25 man roster.
  8. mvp 78
    Also, players typically peak around 29, so Shaw still has a lot of room for growth, esecially since he hasn't played a whole season.

    Drafted in 2014 2nd round

    Rainbow Bridge?

    Carson Smith couldn't locate the Rivera HWY on a map. Stupid millennials...

    C'mon, be a little fair. This vaunted system produced Xander and Mookie, two guys that look to be All Star locks for the foreseeable future. They have great organizational depth at C and 2b/SS. They were also able to move high value pieces to get a premium arm and didn't really suffer for it.

    Craig is firmly entrenched in AAA. Not sure how they are stuck playing him with regards to the big league club. He'll probably be still in Pawtucket when his contract ends in 2017. Plus, he's only being paid about $6M per so it's not really breaking the bank. Porcello pitched better towards the end of the year when he had a consistent catcher. My guess is that he pitches more like the second half of 2015 going forward. For Castillo, he needs to be at least given a full season before we can call him a bust... Hanley was injured last year and hasn't shown himself to be completely incompetent at 1b. Sure, he didn't pick a bounced throw, but every other Sox 1b this spring has done the same thing during a game so far. He has work to do, but should be athletic enough to be a mediocre 1b. I hope Pablo gets off to a hot start in April and shuts everyone up. It would be best for all involved.

    I don't mind 35 ft bombs. I just hate that there is no flow to most games due to excessive timeouts and fouls. The C's used to be my second favorite Boston team, but I struggle to watch a full game nowadays. At most, I just try to tune in for the last 3 minutes if the game is close and it usually ends up being excruciating.
  15. mvp 78
    His fastball is noticeably diminished. If he came back to the AL East, I think he'd look like Melancon in a Sox uni. He's not terrible by any means, but I'd rather have the pen the Sox have now. Plus, his attitude wouldn't work well with the direction this team is trying to go.
  16. mvp 78
    I think Castillo still has a good deal of upside. I believe there is a better chance that he succeeds than either Hanley or Panda. Not sure how the Sox messed up with Lackey. He's an ok pitcher, but nothing you lose sleep over if they walk out the door.
  17. mvp 78
    Shaw looks ok at 3b. He doesn't look like a natural.
  18. mvp 78
    I think most people are on board with giving him a chance. I think some people are just nervous about his prospects. We'll see. I wait until Memorial Day before I jump to any conclusions one way or the other.
  19. mvp 78
    Well he did have 2 errors in his most recent performance.... Howver, this is still pretend baseball. Nothing matters until April.
  20. mvp 78
  21. mvp 78
    Yup, hope they aren't giving up on the season already. If they didn't like Farrell, they should have dumped him in December.
  22. mvp 78
    The Sox MO is to sling mud on all the guys they are pushing out the door. The story was leaked by the Globe...
  23. mvp 78
    Seems like a Red Sox thing to me since it hasn't happened to the Bruins, C's or Pats yet.
  24. mvp 78
    I don't really care, but seeing what happened to Dell and Whatney, why even go there?
