    Webster and Rubby have been top 100 prospects. Sands was more of the filler type (fringe prospect).

    He was ok. Would get infatuated with certain guys (Lugo, Salty). At the end of the day, he just couldn't say no to LL. Rather than building up a winner, he built a team of big names.
  3. mvp 78
    They gave up the prospects for AGon, the player they valued the most (big name, Mexican heritage, from SoCal).

    If he can return to form, it'd be such a big help to this team. "If" he and Buchholz could pitch to their potential and the others don't fall apart, this team could indeed play meaningful games in September.
  5. mvp 78
    Yeah, he's a 2nd half reliever call up at best as I'd be wary of increasing his innings too much.
  6. mvp 78
    Yeah, I wanted open competition for SS and RF. Salty should have been traded and Lavs should catch 50% of the games. In 2014, a SP slot should be open for Webster/Rubby/Barnes/whoever is most ready. I don't think any of them are ready right now. If Webster pitches well in AAA, I'd bring him up in the 2nd half of this year.

    Who was "right" about 2012? No one on here. No one said they'd win 69 games. The lowest number of projected wins was 82 by Muggah. Now who was "exactly" right on here? Not a700, SBF, iortiz. No one. If memory serves me right, SBF scurried off during last season as well.

    Yeah, it totally "kills them" and "ruins their day" so much that they are quick to use the I Told You So card. If people want to be negative fans, it's fine by me. Just don't call others out for being ballwashers, because they don't agree with the negativity 100% of the time. You liked the Victorino signing? Ballwasher. You think the prospects that I don't like are good? Ballwasher. You think the team could win 88 games and be in contention? Ballwasher. You don't like my made up commentary? Ballwasher.

    You don't know what you are talking about. He watched way more games of Rubby than we did!!! Stats be damned!
  10. mvp 78
    And just after you posted this, Fred posts his 5 years of failure nonsense. So, there you go. Also, if all you want is meaningful games in September, you should have been fine with 09, 10 and 11, but you weren't.
  11. mvp 78
    Regular bullpen guy: 13 games, 10 games started. Stop making stuff up please.

    Pre 2004: if they win once, I'll die happy Now: they must win every year!
  13. mvp 78
    In real, the health Ortiz was a huge question mark and the FO chose to sign him because he's a likable guy and the Sox were miserable last year. To me, the contract was just a "thanks for the memories, do some more commercials, so that when Ells is gone in 2014 the pink hats will at least know one guy on the team." Since the Sox aren't going to be a WS contender this year or next, I can't be upset about him being injured.
  14. mvp 78
    Yes, let's be reality.
  15. mvp 78
    Watch out, his achilles injury is spreading to the other foot like a flesh eating disease! How did ownship not expect this injury to switch feet???
  16. mvp 78
    Not often that you see pitchers wearing dark sunglasses like Sandoval. They aren't working for him either.
  17. mvp 78
    My wife: he seems like a great guy, way better than the last douche.
  18. mvp 78
    He was on pace for 25+ last year. He could be a 30-35 guy. Needs to cut down on the k's though. Right now, he's more of a 6-7 than a 5.

    You don't have to be gross about it.
  21. mvp 78
    Bradford was saying that he was sitting with "scouts" and their guns were always 2 mph high than Jet Blue.
  22. mvp 78
    I've agreed with you before and you even noted "wow mvp, we finally agree on something." Getting old must be rough. No, Rubby is not ready yet. At most, I'd call him up in the 2nd half to work out of the bullpen. That's been my position all offseason. However, I think he has a higher ceiling than you are giving him credit for.
  23. mvp 78
    Them's fightin' words jung!
  24. mvp 78
    Why is my name being brought up here? I haven't talked about Rubby in weeks?
  25. mvp 78
    Fans can be worried, but it's nice to have a little hope once in a while.
