    That's nothing. I have predicted the win loss totals for the Sox for 6 out of the last 7 years. In 1978, I told my dad Bucky Dent would hit a HR, I was not yet 2. In 1986, I told my parents that the Sox were going to beat the Angels and we needed to get back home (we had run out after Hendu knocked a ball off his glove and over the wall). During the 99 playoffs, I had a dream where Pedro pitched a no no out of the bullpen and Troy O'Leary hit a grandslam. In 03, when Grady Little didn't take Pedro out, I knew the game was over so I turned the tv off and said wait til next year. I used a Ouija board to tell me about the Nomar trade and saw the Dave Roberts steal in some tea leaves. In 2007, I perdicted the outcome and score for each playoff game. Last year, I saw with my third eye the coming of our lord and savior Lavarnway and of his glorious 2 homeruns. In fact, I know exactly what will happen this year, but don't want to ruin the surprise for all of you.

    Bard will be a better SP than Aceves (who was the bp mvp last year)
  3. mvp 78
    I'm not old enough to remember him as a player, but WEEI hasn't been the same since he passed.
  4. mvp 78
    I think he'll be about league average and his production should trend slightly upward. 90% of the board will want him tossed off the Tobin.
  5. mvp 78
    If he keeps quiet, it'll blow over. If he keeps talking, it'll keep blowing up. See: Tim Thomas FB postings If he doesn't say anything, fans will forget after 1st W. If he keeps providing soundbites, it won't go away.

    Right now, Beckett is feeding the monster. We'll see if he can take a different approach and just leave 2011 in the past. Also, I hope his distractions this year are few and that he pitches like 2007 or 2011 (April - August).
  7. mvp 78
    So Beckett was distracted over his wife's pregnancy last year (that's the excuse anyway). Aren't the 9 months after pregnancy way more distracting than the nine when you wife/gf is pregnant?

    I like the training idea, but not sure if CC will be seeing the same bounces off the wall.

    Does anyone else think the mini Fenway they've built cheapens the original's uniqueness? Same dimensions, Ted Williams statue, gate locations, etc. "Fenway South" is kinda lame imo.
  11. mvp 78
    It would have been dumb to not replace him. I'm not advocating Bard as #3.
  12. mvp 78
    He should have been traded in the offseason, but you're stuck with him now. Just ride out the contract.
  13. mvp 78
    In hindsight, Masterson should have been used as a SP rather than a setup guy. They tried to make a run, but it didn't work out with VMart. Not too many people opposed the trade when it happened. This board would have been much better if you posted more this offseason imo.
  14. mvp 78
    He was traded for a #4 hitting catcher, not given up on.
  15. mvp 78
    Neck and neck in what? MLB stats? Propect potential? Gabbard was pretty unheralded. The big pitching prospects were Paps and Lester. Gabbard had more in common with Davod Pauley. There were little to no expectations set for him. Sox sold high on him. I don't see anything wrong with that.
  16. mvp 78
    His rotation and bp is already set. I heard he's working on the lineups for May though. What a slacker! In all honesty, it will be interesting to see how/if his lineups differ from Tito's.
  17. mvp 78
    Hey Carl, would you rather bat 1st or 7th? That's how I'd get him to be ok with it.
  18. mvp 78
    So no WS until after 2028?

    Didn't BV invent the wrap?
  21. mvp 78
    Pedroia doesn't want to hit 1st. Hitting Ells 1st is wasting his production. He set a record for RBIs as a leadoff hitter. He would have had a lot more had he hit 3rd.
  22. mvp 78
  23. mvp 78
    The difference between 1st and 2nd is about 15 AB's. Over 15 plate appearances, the difference between CC and Pedroia is immaterial to the season.
