  1. If Vasquez (sp?) comes back at 100%, I would be less concerned about the rotation. I think 1b will figure itself out (Hanley/Shaw/trade). Panda should be better than last year.
  2. I'd rather Pedey hit the DL and get healthy than try and grind through something. A 100% Brock Holt is far better than a 50% Pedroia.
  3. You know who else has a history of injuries? Pedroia. Instead of hitting the DL, he just grinds through it and his all around game suffers.
  4. Jenks and Miller provided a great depth to the DL that year!
  5. I'm already getting upset about Angel Hernandez.
  6. Remember guys, it took approximately 8.33333 other guys to fail in 2013 before they hit the Koji jackpot!!! Can't give Ben or Farrell there. They didn't really know what they had in him!
  7. Why does Drew love the backwards k? He's up there to swing!
  8. It was Bard's decision. There's more money to be made as a mediocre starter than a very good reliever.
  9. Just wait. You'll have a better chance on getting a cheaper ticket if you wait until September.
  10. He's lazy, but probably not a locker room problem (unless Youk is back on the roster). The Sox have had s***** guys in the past. I think Hanley and Panlo are probably decent enough guys. At worst, they probably just aren't very smart.
  11. You know, I really think Daniel Bard should not have been made a starter.
  12. Nobody is crowning the Sox. We are all expecting them to compete for a playoff spot, which isn't the same thing. Jacko just needed to frame an argument so that he could piss all over everything again.
  13. He is a great talent evaluator. Jesus Montero will be the next Johnny Bench.
  14. His boobs looked great in October 2013. It's just too bad that they completely struck out last offseason. Even an average offseason would have saved his job.
  15. Meh. Theo has zero WS with Cubs. Ben had one. Until Theo wins in Chicago, I won't be envious.
  16. C'mon, making stuff up is half of the content around here...
  17. Makes as much sense as serenating the flag before each game.
  18. A700 was adamant that the 2012 trade with LA was attributable to JH not Ben because of the dollar amount. Wouldn't it also be the case that JH would have the final say in high dollar FA deals to Hanley and Pablo. Therefore, Ben is not to blame for those FA signings.
  19. Headley >>> Sandoval
  20. Every offseason, there is a story about Pablo trimming down. Even if he is 30 lbs lighter, he'll just earn it back during the season each time he pulls up to catering. If he hasn't fixed his eating habits by now, he never will. I don't care about his weight. He just needs to hit. He's hit well while carrying a larger waist size before. Maybe he just needed a year to adjust to the AL?
  21. .500 is possible (81 wins), but it's just as likely that they'd end up with 103 wins. Just saying.
  22. DUMBrowski is not going to put Wright in the rotation over Kelly. I think Wright will last through spring training and then will be DFA'd to Pawtucket unless there is an injury to a starter. I'm not saying this is the right move. I'd personally rather have Wright in the rotation than Kelly, but would put Johnson ahead of Wright.
  23. Don't you mean their 82 - 102 win projection?
  24. I really haven't noticed anyone saying that they'd hover around .500. Even A700 believes this team should be in the upper 80's. Now, they COULD hover around .500 as they have done so more often than not in the previous 4 years, but I think most of us believe this team will be better this year. I honestly think a lot of the quibbling has been between the difference of a WS contender and a team fighting for the playoffs. This team should be good, but would have a much better chance if they had found that second starting pitcher. Kimmi, you should create a poll and see where people project the team to wind up in the win column. I think we have done those in the past.
