    I mean, that's a good question. To me, you have about 3 late inning guys, a bulk guy and the rest are middle relievers.
  2. mvp 78
    Pitchers are really shaking in their boots with Reyes' 310 OPS.
  3. mvp 78
    Nope.
  4. mvp 78
    Jansen Martin Winckowski Joely Weissert Slaten Campbell Anderson
  5. mvp 78
    No, but who here thought Campbell was one of the top tier relievers for the Sox when he was acquired? I think most people ignored him. To say he was supposed to be a late inning guy is disingenuous.
  6. mvp 78
    Today's starters are an interesting group (all for different reasons): Gambrell, Penrod, Perales, Duffy.
  7. mvp 78
    Determining how great a relief pitcher is based on ST performance is ridiculous. We saw that he was bubble guy when acquired. Pitching late innings against AAA guys should push him into an 8th inning role. Please post the great and wonderful poo-poohing post.

    And there's a chance he comes up and sucks too! It's on the table and always has been. He was just penciled in as the starter because the other options were runny dogshit.
  9. mvp 78
    It still shouldn't be retired IMO.
  10. mvp 78
    Well, the GM is the boss of the manager.
  11. mvp 78
    Dalbec should be the backup 3B. I'd rather he start than Reyes.
  12. mvp 78
    Wow, this guy is in LOVE with Grissom. He should marry him!
  13. mvp 78
    Yes, Atlanta is more competitive these days.
  14. mvp 78
    Nobody has ever said anything remotely about Grissom being a savior. There are no Grissom superfans here. I don't get some of this Grissom narrative that is building.

    SoxProspects has Campbell listed as 4th NOW. When he was initially acquired and at the start of ST, he was still on the bubble of AAA and last spot in the pen.
  16. mvp 78
    What a guy. If they could rename Yawkey Way, they can TEAR DOWN THAT NUMBAH!!!
  17. mvp 78
    No, Campbell was supposed to be a middle reliever and potentially a guy who started in AAA. I don't know how people thought he was pushed into a late inning role... When he was acquired, nobody thought he was an 8th inning guy.

    Entire career or 10 years with the Red Sox and retiring as a Red Sox? I can't follow those rules? Fisk is retired. Pesky is retired. Pedro is retired. Boggs is retired. Ortiz is retired. When their numbers were retired, each of those numbers didn't follow those rules. Maybe it's just like Whose Line is it Anyway?

    We're you watching the same game as I was? There were several miscues. Reyes couldn't come up with an easy grounder. Hamilton missed the bag. Wong couldn't come up with the ball cleanly and had to go to first. These plays put additional pitches onto the pitcher even if it doesn't cause more runs!!!!!!
  20. mvp 78
    But they were still relying on Valdez/Reyes/Hamilton as emergency backups. Duran, you have to take the good and the bad with him. Rafaela, there's the learning curve of being young and under the bright lights for the first time. The catchers aren't great defensive players either. You already know 1B and 3B have issues. Easy enough to compliment the holes in the defense by replacing the cheap backups with guys that are defensively minded IMO.
  21. mvp 78
    Grape job!

    Salem may be the most exciting Sox team to watch so far. Salem Red Sox 8, Delmarva Shorebirds (BAL) 4 Natanael Yuten was the story as Salem kept the Delmarva squad winless on the year. The 19-year-old outfielder blasted a three-run homer in the 10th inning to cap off a 3-for-5 night. The Brothers Garcia were again key contributors as well. Johanfran blasted a two-run homer, his first long ball of the season, while Jhostynxon had an RBI double, two runs scored, and two stolen bases. I know POR has all the big names, but there's just something about the guys in Salem that are fun to watch. Garcia Bros Bleis Nelly Taylor Yuten Antonio Anderson The starting pitchers aren't top 10 guys, but decent enough names too (Paez, Cruz, Duffy, Dean).

    From JANUARY: Red Sox chairman Tom Werner to @TomCaron - “We wouldn’t be having this conversation if we had league average defense” Says someone in the front office told him last night they would have had 9 to 10 more wins with league average defense. They weren't wrong!
  24. mvp 78
    Not sure if this was when the game was truly over or when Deez Nuts Hamilton missed the bag.
  25. mvp 78
    Not this year.
