  1. Jimmy Williams was not better than Terry Francona.
  2. From 2016-2020, JBJ was a very valuable player. If you don't believe that, I don't know what to tell you. 99 OPS +, with GG defense. He was paid 30M to earn almost 16bWAR in those years. Any GM would take that in CF.
  3. Tito>Cora>Farrell>Williams>Little>Valentine>Kerrigan
  4. Boy, it would just be great to have an injured, unproductive Mitch Haniger on the 40 man roster!
  5. 2b may be the best option for him going forward. I'm just saying that he's a capable SS if it came to that.
  6. Dansby Swanson has been fine at SS with a below average arm. I wouldn't say it's impossible. Guys at BA aren't saying so anyway.
  7. The Wild Card game in 2021 was cool, but even then I think the rivalry died off during the weird 2012-2015 years. Both teams fell off at points. When the teams got hot again it was with all new players and the animosity just wasn't there. It's played out IMO.
  8. When he's tried to be more patient in AA/AAA, he just fell behind in the count and had worse OPS. It might not be what you want, but he needs to take his hacks.
  9. If the Sox really need to do it to free up space for the young guys, it may be necessary.
  10. Maybe? I think the tickets were probably already sold. I don't think he's in line to earn additional money because of it. Maybe he gets a cut from Aramark sales, but I don't know how substantial it is.
  11. Devers was a "keep the peasants from revolting" expenditure.
  12. It's hopeless, but at least they are still playing meaningful games in mid September!
  13. We've known for the past few years that Rafaela's k zone recognition would look like this. I don't think sending him back to AAA would fix anything. He's a guy who is going to go up there and take a few healthy swings. That's why he's unlikely to have a higher than 750 OPS.
  14. Good win. Still 4 games back. ‘22 and ‘23 squads would’ve lost this game/series though. This team has a good amount of fight.
  15. 2011 couldn't get across the finish line because they had no starting pitching in September and were dragging out a soon to be retired Wakefield. Wake had a 5.94 ERA over his final 7 starts with zero QS. 851 OPS 33 R 33.1 IP
  16. Well, I don't want to spoil Air Bud 3: World Pup, but Buddy getting "fixed" would drastically change events in that movie.
  17. Only by those who believed someone so young couldn't push a deal like that over the finish line and/or have the authority to get it done. Also, Theo had a lot of haters at the time.
  18. If Anthony remains No. 1, he will become the third Red Sox prospect to rank No. 1 in the now 35-year history of the BA Top 100. Righthander Daisuke Matsuzaka ranked No. 1 in 2007, and outfielder Andrew Benintendi ranked No. 1 in 2017.
  19. This would make sense as Buddy did win a WS in Seventh Inning Fetch and this feature would be the downfall afterwards. Which one of us would be part of the Fram-ily?
  20. AVevP: Alien Vs Executive Vice Presidents?
  21. Field of Screams?
  22. Moneyball 2: The Wreckening?
  23. I don't do prop work. There's a movie? Dummyball?
