    At this point, does it even matter anymore?
  2. mvp 78
    It's not much of a salary, basically free seat and travel expenses.
  3. mvp 78
    True story: Yaz once cramped in his left hamstring. He didn't think twice about it.
  4. mvp 78
    If WMB gets sent down when Youk comesback, he better start hitting or the "Youks" will just be "boooos." A700, I don't see much of a return for Youk. I don't have any reason to play him more than part time when he comes back.
  5. mvp 78
    Until Youk shows he can hit, WMB should be a lock for 3b. Why sacrifice the future just to increase Youk's marginal trade value?
  6. mvp 78
    Needs to work on not rushing his throws to 1b. Other than that, he's been outstanding. What's the point of playing Youk, to deal for a middle reliever? Won't get any worthwhile prospects back in a trade for him. If WMB is ready, just play him.

    Papai has been worth every penny.

    First SB and 3B for Shoppach. Must have done sprints in the offseason.

    It's not over until Jenks sings.

    3 hits on Friday, 3 on Saturday, 0 hits on Sunday He's slumping! He's not trying! He's given up! He's childish! He's petulant!

    If you want to talk about clueless Boston fans, how about anyone who voted very disappointed. AGon had a career high in hits last year and an OPS .001 less than his high. Who did you think they were getting? If you're disappointed, you weren't paying attention to him in SD. He has a bad game and people go crazy. Give me a break. Now that's clueless.

    Wrong post.
  14. mvp 78
    Dude, but he checked out because he struck out to the DH!!!!!! AGon isn't the problem here.

    Buchholz

    He's a great #2. He's not the ace of a WS contender. Someone will really overpay for him. Hope it's not the Sox. I grew up with Clemens leading the staff. Pedro was even better after taking the reigns. Even Schill at least had the attitude of an ace after 04. Since then, the staff has desperately needed a stopper like them. Lester/Beckett/Hamels/Cain/etc are great pitchers, but not true aces. None of them are leaders, either with ability or stature.
  18. mvp 78
    I also don't think Hamels is an ace. He'd be 2C in our rotation.
  19. mvp 78
    The biggest need is definitely a true number 1. People on here often call Lester and Beckett 1A and 1B. To me, they are 2's. I'd do whatever it takes to get Felix or a real staff ace like that. Position players seem easier to fill in. Ownership will have to eat some huge contracts (Lackey/CC). They should blow up the team in a manner they should have in the offseason. Bring up the prospects. Move the dead wood. Develop the farm system further, especially with respect to pitching. It's not going to happen. I think this is still a 90-92 win team. However, they don't have the firepower to do anything in the playoffs. The sky isn't falling. There have been way worse teams in my lifetime.

    Salty hasn't improved at all. Ugly. Well, maybe Lavs will be up in a few weeks too...
  21. mvp 78
    Fans don't care about the streak. It just feeds ownership's ego.
  22. mvp 78
    Pinch hitting Salty for Shoppach with a LHP on the mound. BV, you really are a genius!

    Bedard 2-4 2.65ERA 26K 37K 14BB
