    @PeteAbe: #RedSox talking internally about Brennan Boesch. Trying to determine if he is a bench upgrade.
  2. mvp 78
    If JBJ gets sent to Pawtucket and injures himself, I don't want anyone complaining how the FO is at fault for not bringing him to Boston (aka the ongoing Kalish argument with certain posters). Anyway, the Sox should just bring him up. If the risk is that he'll earn a big contract someday, I don't care because the Sox are a "have" rather than a "have not."

    If later is 2019 and I'll have enough money to buy numerous boxes then, give me the cone now...
  4. mvp 78
    They were both called up on 4/27 last year. Is that the date they can be called up this year?
  5. mvp 78
    I'd send Iggy to Pawtucket (since we have Drew). If he's hitting .300 in Pawtucket in May, I'd move Drew. Until Iggy can actually hit (not just take good rips), he needs more time in Pawtucket. He's only 22, right? He still has lots of room to mature.

    Carp hadn't looked much better. Overbay isn't a full time player anymore. Just think he could provide a solid veteran presence to start the season till Papi comes back.
  7. mvp 78
    Just remember, it's only ST (unless the guy is performing poorly, apparently).
  8. mvp 78
    I'm not going to belabor the point as both you and I are on the same page as to what his ceiling is. Just hope he figures it out this year and can have a realistic chance of being in the rotation in April 2014 along with Webster.
  9. mvp 78
    Just think his upside is higher than an old Overbay.
  10. mvp 78
    And yet YOU keep using Farrell demoting him as an excuse for his performance. Look, I know you projected him as the 4th starter this year, but maybe he's just not ready and needs more time? It's not a big deal if he's not ready.
  11. mvp 78
    I'd go: Overbay, Carp, then Gomez as a last resort. Can Carp be sent to AAA without being put through waivers?
  12. mvp 78
    But you keep bringing it up as if it were a factor. It's one thing to mention it offhandedly, it's another to bring it up multiple times.
  13. mvp 78
    "After Farrell made those comments, De La Rosa plunged. Not saying it's what caused his plunge, I'm just saying that it's an interesting order of events." No, that is completely what you're saying...

    FIFY
  15. mvp 78
    In the end though, outside sources like Keith Law think Webster and Rubby are the 2 best arms in the Sox minor leagues. Clearly, these guys weren't just filler or the result of a hype machine.
  16. mvp 78
    Not nearly as well as the Yanks though.
  17. mvp 78
    The Dodgers thought very highly of Rubby, didn't want to include him in numerous deals at the deadline and believed he was a future big league starter. http://articles.latimes.com/2011/may/24/sports/la-sp-0525-dodgers-fyi-20110525
  18. mvp 78
    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.
  20. mvp 78
    They gave up the prospects for AGon, the player they valued the most (big name, Mexican heritage, from SoCal).
  21. mvp 78
    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.
  22. mvp 78
    Yeah, he's a 2nd half reliever call up at best as I'd be wary of increasing his innings too much.
  23. 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.
  24. mvp 78
    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.
  25. mvp 78
    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.
