    By the way - Random note - ESPN's Buster Olney hears that teams believe Youkilis could be traded at any time, but the feeling is that Boston is just working to get the best offer (Twitter link).

    Fortunately he's only pumping 88-90. I don't think that'll live here.
  3. SoxFanForsyth
    Seriously.

    Patient at bats, please

    But AndyK threw 33 first inning pitches. :lol:

    16 years old. 16.

    8:20 ETA for start. Tarp coming off.
  8. SoxFanForsyth
    8:20 start time.

    He's also not 20 anymore. And from the time he was 23 on, which is when a normal player would start his career, he's hitting .302/.347/.463. Then he had a terrible year.

    I don't understand this philosophy. It's not like he's got a torn hammy, or something that he could really aggravate by playing too much. The wrist is completely healed. The elbow is fine when he's hitting. He should be in there everyday, no question about it. Now, if you want to argue that he should come back for the Yankees series right before the ASB, play Friday, 1/2 on the Saturday doubleheader, and then on Sunday, I can 100% agree. You get your timing, you get a breather, and then you take off. But I don't think they baby him. Just like they're not babying Cody Ross, didn't baby Ryan Sweeney, didn't baby Ryan Kalish. Once he's back, they'll cut him loose. The more AB's he gets, the quicker he gets his timing.

    John Tomase ‏@jtomase In Pawtucket, Bard says he reached conclusion he should return to pen. Team, he said, agreed. "I'm back where I belong," he said. Joe McDonald ‏@ESPNJoeyMac Bard said he's no longer a starter. He believes he's back where he belongs as a reliever. He called Cherington to tell him. Both agree. Good news. Bard back to the pen. Now he can focus on being that elite RP that he used to be. Even better news is that Bard is the one who initiated the decision.

    But, but, but Cliff Lee got a haul!!! /Jackso Well it will certainly take 1 of the big 3 though, plus a Lavarnway
  13. SoxFanForsyth
    Lets say Hamels becomes available. Assuming the Sox are able to get an extension done, do you send 2 of Barnes/Bradley/Bogaerts, plus Lavarnway to Philly for him?

    It does when the player plays for TB.

    When?!? Youkilis? He was hurt for 1/2 of 2010 and never returned to form. His poor season was due to injuries. Crawford's poor season was due to him trying to overperform and play outside of his means. Same as Adam Dunn. Probably the same as Adrian Gonzalez. We agree that Nava shouldn't be traded, I think his value to the Red Sox exceeds his trade value, in which case you hang on to him. But Crawford is better than Nava in every facet of the game outside of BB%. That's it. I mean, in 09-10, Crawford hit .306/.360/.473, averaged 17 HR, 80 RBI, 30 Doubles, 10 Triples, and 55 SB. That's the guy we signed. He still has the ability to be that guy. That guy is a better player than Daniel Nava. That guy is an elite player. And that's Carl Crawford.
  18. SoxFanForsyth
    No. If the answer is Lars Anderson then I just give up on the intelligence of some of the posters. Odd that it's taken this long though, no?
  19. SoxFanForsyth
    Crawford clearly struggled last season, but I'm sorry, it's absolutely idiotic to really think that a player goes from 7th in the MVP voting, gold glove, silver slugger, ASG starter to a .255 hitter overnight. That's not how it works. It's just mind boggling.
  20. SoxFanForsyth
    Not nearly concerned enough to merit having him sit 3-4x per week for Nava. That's so unbelievably ridiculous I cannot fathom how it makes any sense to anyone. Its just, I just....my God. I cannot fathom this thought process. I really can't.

    Youkilis also has been hurt since last July, and Middlebrooks has been well documented as a top prospect. He was known, coming into this season, as the future of the organization, and Youk's contract is up this year. Also, Youkilis right now is not nearly the player that Crawford is. Youk is old, hobbling, and has lost significant bat speed. That's a bad comparison.

    Gotta be patient at the plate tonight. Jurrjens will walk the stadium if you let him (4.41 K/9, 5.51 BB/9 this year).
