Gardner's also been playing well, sooooo... Cya Granderson?
-
I think Kalish is projected to become a corner outfielder, I'd guess he doesn't project to have the range at center. Of course, Youkilis was projected to be an average 3B as best, but Kalish does seem to be getting time in LF instead of CF (as Patterson started in CF instead of him). If he does move to CF, that will increase his value (in trades and to the Sox) as most CF don't hit for as much power as he does. I don't think the Yankees or the Red Sox would be in the market for Crawford. Ellsbury will not get traded for A-Gon because he has three years of arbitration after this year, and then he's gone for sure; the Padres aren't going to get Ellsbury unless they're certain they will contend in those three years. Also, Albert Pujols is a free agent the offseason after next. Maybe the Sox are saving up payroll?

Youkilis sounded pretty optimistic in the post-game on NESN, but that could just be him, he really wants to play. If Mike Lowell can give us 2/3s the power numbers Youkilis does, the lineup two weeks from now will be better than the lineup two weeks ago. Kalish/Ellsbury/Drew would be far better than Hermida/injured Cameron/Drew. And of course, allegedly Pedroia and V-Mart do some pretty cool things with the bat. This lineup will be worse than a lineup with a healthy Youk, ofc. But it's been a lot worse this season.
-
He should make the team, but he won't unless Ellsbury, Cameron, or Drew are moved.
-
Who's getting sent down?
-
Yes, the Sox have to play well, but it feels like a lot of people have written them off this season. We still have 55 games to play this season. Also, why can't anyone pronounce Choo's name? I tuned into ESPN and they called him "Chin-Soo Choo".
-
Good stuff. 5 back from the Yankees. This season isn't even close to over yet.
-
From how the FO talked about Ellsbury, it sounded like he would already be back but they wanted one more rehab game to make sure.
-
Let's go Paps. We need this game.
-
Given our luck, Beltre will probably get in a fight, accidentally collide with Kalish and break his ribs.
-
Beat his ass, Beckett
-
Aaaaand the Twins give up a 3-run homer, Rays up 6-3 now. I'd be very happy with making up a game on the Yankees, though.
-
Nah he threw a changeup after the curve.
-
He probably meant to say "combination" or something, but saw "Shin-Soo Choo" and lost his composure. It sounded a lot worse than it reads (how he butchered Shin-Soo Choo).
-
Remy: A curveball changeup to start off Shin-Shoo Choo

Beckett has been looking good today.

The Padres aren't going to settle for Gonzalez. I don't think any deal happens without Casey Kelly (as Doubront projects to be a middle-of-the-rotation type at best), and I don't think Ellsbury gets the Sox as far as you think he does - after all, he's hitting his arbitration years, and the Padres are a cash strapped team, and Ellsbury's agent is Boras - so no long-term club-friendly deal. In fact, I think the Padres would prefer Kalish. Keep in mind that Jed Hoyer knows the Red Sox system inside and out, so we can't foist lesser prospects on him, and Lars Anderson's stock has not been really high as of late. TL;DR version: I think it'll take at least Kelly, Kalish, Lars, and another top prospect to get the deal done. There is no way we leave the deal without losing just one of our high-ceiling prospects that have a decent shot at the majors (and Lars' ceiling is arguable given his performance this season).
-
What do you think we are? Phillies fans? =p
-
I wish the Red Sox could score runs in the first 7 innings of a game.
-
Beckett tomorrow.
-
Lowrie at first? I guess he can technically play it...
-
OH MAN LET'S GOOOOOOO
-
They need to put a cowbell around Beltre's neck. Just in case. Kalish isn't expendable like Hermida.
-
On the field for 12 minutes, carted off. It looked like a really bad blow. I don't think he'll be back this season.
-
Wow, Santana really took a bad blow there.
