  1. Another LH garbage outfielder? No thanks. Just let Reddick and Kalish fight it out.
  2. I say go back to the days when there were ropes instead of fences, when CF in the Polo Grounds was 500+ feet away, games were only played during the day, and umpires stood behind the pitchers. Now that's real baseball. When men would wear fedoras instead of MLB licensed merchandise.
  3. Who gives a s***? This is talksox. We don't care.
  4. How is demanding anything going to help the situation. Cubs have Theo already. Loud noises aren't going to scare them into giving up prospects.
  5. Looks like this is going to end up in Selig's hands?
  6. Tampa is good because of their pitching, not because of Maddon.
  7. Kinda like how BJGE is in the middle of the pack for rushing yards? 16th last year 17th this year
  8. This board has been all over the place lately. It makes it unreadable at times. For example, the offseason thread on here has turned into talking about the WS. That should be in the general baseball forum as the offseason thread should relate to the Sox offseason not other random crap. I'm not trying to call anyone out, but we should be mindful of where the best place to make a post. Otherwise, it's just a bunch of random crap thrown at a wall rather than meaningful discussion.
  9. Guerrero was signed for cheap money. If the Sox can do the same with Ortiz, they should go for it.
  10. Jimmy Williams
  11. I like Salty because he's tall an adequate. Also, he'll be replaced by Lavs or someone else soon.
  12. Also also, what does that have to do with CC?
  13. "Suggested" by a newspaper writer. You think a manager is worth Castro? I don't. Also, the Sox could get "any" player, but are holding out for the best they can. It's called doing business...
  14. I don't mind the batters' entrance themes, but Sweet Caroline and the god awful "Play Ball" song need to die a painful death. The music is more noticeable at an NFL, NBA, or NHL game anyway.
  15. The last time the Sox tried to be a "running team" (in terms of sb's) was under Hobson. Since then, they've been station to station. (even won a few WS too)
  16. I don't care about SB's. Use the speed in the OF, run the bases well. It's all fans care about. Hustle every AB. Dive in the OF. It goes a long way to show fans you care.
  17. I'd take a Buehrle/Oswalt offseason over CC. The contracts would be high dollar, but shorter in length, giving the Sox a few years to develop some young arms.
  18. If I'm Ben, I sit down with CC this year and say "I wanted you here. I know what you can do. Play like you did in TB. Don't worry about trying to live up to $20M numbers. We're paying you that much to perform like you did in TB. You don't need to be a 25/100 guy. Be yourself. Use your speed. Get dirty and the fans will love you. They don't careabout the money, they just want to see you hustle day in and day out. Be a leader. Lead by example. You work harder than anyone else. If other players aren't falling in line, let them know. I'll have your back no matter what."
  19. If Ben needs to "make a splash" he's falling into the trap that Theo did all too often. I'm a no on both CC and Darvish. How about 2-3 (depending on if they move Becks) solid starters rather than adding one over priced starter?
  20. I don't know what to make of the first paragraph. Poor use of sarcasm? The ramblings of an insane person?
  21. Ortiz can demand whatever he wants, but DH's are making way less money in free agency these days and there aren't many teams in need of his services. He's taking a big time paycut this year. A one year contract for cheap money. He'll be back.
