If one buys the media spin on this topic, I guess.

Does anyone really expect some kind of huge impact on team play with Cora as manager? I like the guy but I don't see this team being better with him at the helm.
-
I fully agree.

2018 ESPN Prospects Stuff (Sox Related)
Spudboy replied to sk7326's topic in Red Sox Minor League Talk
He is one of a handful of players in the AL that I see a bunch of and say to myself "I would want him on my team". He makes plays on any side of the ball. He does look goofy as f***, though. -

Didn't MLB TV just anoint him one of the top six left fielders in MLB? -
I know I keep harping on it but Jesus has Holt porked out. It similar to what Robert De Niro went through in Raging Bull. Holt was a speedy athletic type. Now he is about half a Panda. I think his mobility will be impaired.
-
Why should he do that? This is business. He owes DD no such courtesy. Now he could still do it if he felt DD would make a significant counter offer. Nope, the Sox made their offer. Sink or swim with it.

Yeah I question the whole quota idea. I never once heard of it. At all. I too was a big fan of Reggie Smith. He was a center fielder but played some right field as well. One game I attended, he started in right field. I paid my $1. and sat in the center field bleachers for three innings before I was allowed to pay $.75 to cross into the right field grandstands. I took a seat low in the bowl just inside that alley that separated center from right. I started to watch Reggie because he was only 50-60 ft away and as I said I liked his game. Anyway, when he bent down and looked towards the plate with his hands on his knees, I saw a massive tubular bulge running down one of his legs. Either he was smuggling a cucumber like the bass player from Spinal Tap or he was hung like a f***ing horse.

5/100 is about all he is worth in my opinion.

Yup. I was getting to that!

Seattle had Spencer Haywood and f***ed that up. It's a minor league city.

Yaz sitting in a rocking chair, drinking a Bud, and smoking a Marlboro. That was leadership.

Lol. I can tell you I am in the weed! Wake and Bake baby!

I agree. The game must be played by individuals.

I would add that Boston is a Major League City. The Bruins, Celtics, Red Sox, and recently the Patriots have all enjoyed significant fan support and interest. I know one family that attends Revolution games at Gillette. While soccer is played at the school level and has been since the '60s, it is just not the draw of the big four sports. I don't know a single person that watches WNBA games. In fact, I know many who turn the channel when a WNBA game is on tv. Boston and the surrounding area has nationally competitive collegiate hockey teams that are somewhat popular but that is about it. Boston College has a big time football program but does not enjoy the success or obsessive fandom of "The Majors". College baseball is not really on the map. Boston is a pro sports city. It's obvious.

********. Boston is recognized for being a world class city. It has some of the best education institutions in the world. It has some of the best hospitals and medical schools in the world. It has great historical and esthetic appeal. The Boston areas has been known to be on the cutting edge of technologies for decades. You are full of s***. Your bias has blinded you to facts.
-
I don't know how fans either never saw this or somehow have forgotten. But you are correct.
-
Yup. Celts have a way to go.
-
I never heard of any of that.
-
Hmmm. I'm not defending Yawkey in any way. But I would like to know more of this so called quota for African Americans. When I started to watch the Sox in 66 and 67 there were at least several people of color ( I include Hispanics of African decent too ) each year. There may have been many teams with more players of color all those years but the disparity never seemed all that great. I must be wrong though. Right?
-
Yanks will figure it out. In any case trading Gardner would be foolhardy. Dr. Evil is one of the most consistent and quality players on the team.
-
Celts are a 50 win team that was scorching hot to begin the season. They will have their ups and downs. Right now they are playing poorly.

lulz

I like his politics and of course what a Thoroughbred athlete that he is but I am nonplussed by the rest.
-
They do have some interesting young talent but unless a huge move is made along with some other complimentary moves the Lakers will continue to suck ass. They have been playing much better, though. Maybe it's because the pimple faced eraser face rookie has been sitting. That kid is very over rated.
