Does Ben Make Move During the GM Meetings this Week?
mvp 78 replied to a700hitter's topic in Boston Red Sox Talk
Is it still November, Chicken Little? -
Managing skills and 3rd base coaching skills don't overlap all that much. A great 3rd base coach could be a horrible manager. A great manager could be a horrible 3rd base coach. LOL emoticons
-
More hyperbole, how surprising...
-
Funny because I bet Sveum could make all the posters here look like mental midgets when it comes to baseball. Honestly, I enjoyed GoBruins2010-2011 more than some of the newer posters.

I don't think players care who the coach is. It doesn't really prevent FA signings. -
After seeing the press conference, it's clear Paps didn't want to come back. Can't really blame Cher-bear.
-
Contract year + Ortiz eyedrops
-
His average will really fluctuate as he gets older, breaks down more, and loses bat speed. He'll be a part time player in 3 years (excluding injury).
-
FYI, Valentine would be the ultimate lackey. No thanks. I'd rather Alomar or Pena, but am ok with Sveum. Managing isn't the same as coaching 3rd. Dale has great leadership abilities.
-
Yeah, you take that Ryan Madson you jerk!
-
Idk, there are a ton of people on here who haven't been through bad times. This year sucked, but it was better than some of the 90's teams. 2001 team was worse too.
-
I'd do it. Always injured and bad body type means little hope for a long career. Just don't see him as a real cleanup hitter. Very overrated IMO.
-
04 was the only year they had a complete pitching staff. Other years, it was more patchwork.
-
He decided in 2010 that he'd retire after 2011. End of story. He got old and wasn't durable to begin with.
-
Deleting a post just because the topic has been beaten to death for 3 years is silly. It's the offseason. Once ST comes, Drew will be a distant memory and no one will care. Posts only get banned if they're offensive or spam.
-
LC, it worked for the Sox throughout the 00's.
-
Don't worry guys. I just simmed the 2012 season with MVP 04 for Xbox and the Sox beat the Cubs 4-1 in the WS. Buehrle won the CY and had a dominant postseason. Looks like we need Scott Williamson to close this year! (I know some posters rag in the 03 bullpen, but Williamson/Embre/Timlin had a good postseason if I remember correctly.)

I feel so bad for the CEO's and their $100M golden parachutes. The rich are getting richer at an ever increasing rate. Everyone else is left behind. You don't have to be a loser to see that. You just have to be able to look past your nose. Crushing school loan debt. Overinflated housing costs. Soaring gas prices. Groceries are 15% more than last year. Too bad most people's income hasn't kept up with those costs. It's only natural that self-involved boomers wouldn't be able to see this. If the federal goverment can't meet in the middle to cut programs AND raise taxes, we're probably f'd. They're to busy playing a stupid two party system game that doesn't work. But this is a Red Sox board and maybe we should just keep it in that genre.
-
Just make Aceves the closer. I'd rather him than Bard.
-
I don't know why you're all worried. Craig Hanson is our future closer. We got this s*** on lockdown...
-
The grammar and poor spelling says a lot about the anti-protest agenda.
-
Exactly 1 major transaction for a $ amount the Sox wouldn't have touched. Paps is a loss, but I think FO was ok with letting him walk (whether us posters agree with the decision or not).
-
Elkton, I agree 100%. people should be aware of what they post. However, my point is that certain people shouldn't take everything so personally. It seems like SBF has had problems on numerous boards. If he didn't take everything to heart, maybe the drama would go away. If you are on the internet you will be ragged on. It's just life. We spend enough time posting on here that we tend to be less formal and more like a bunch of friends hanging out. Just don't get worked up over a post. It's not worth the effort.
-
I think some people just need to not take everything as a personal slight. I know some of the older posters grew up around US Grant and probably had many duels in their time. Just let me quote Eckersly "that's history pal." I don't think RFFL stepped over any line. If you don't like something, you are better off ignoring it. We don't carry duelling pistols anymore. We deck someone and hug it out.

Your contributions are great, just a little wordy. If they were a little more concise I'd have the time to read all of them.
