    Plain and simple, the Red Sox do not exist without the fans. The fans do not exist without the Red Sox. There is a dependence on both sides. The Sox depend on the fans for revenues, the fans enjoy watching them play. It's "we".

    Oh my God are we in for another barnburner?
  3. SoxFanForsyth
    PEDROIA!!!!!!!!

    Someone needs to remind Gonzo that he shouldn't even be close to Ellsbury in HR.
  5. SoxFanForsyth
    Damn Ellsbury is an absolute beast. No. That doesn't even do it justice.
  6. SoxFanForsyth
    Francona clearly forgot that defense counts too when he put Navarro in LF.
  7. SoxFanForsyth
    Oh. Yeah. My bad. Lets go call up Caleb Clay for our 5th starter. I mean, he's got a 6.93 ERA in AA, but those numbers don't mean anything.
  8. SoxFanForsyth
    Yeah. I'm sure members of the Red Sox would much rather go play for the Marlins who are lucky to get 8,000 people on a weekday game, which turns into low revenues, which turns into poor players, which turns into losing. But I know that's far too convoluted for you to follow. I'll put it into simple terms for you. Fans = Revenues. Revenues = Good Players. Good Players = Winning. But no, strong, loyal fan bases that stick around through s*****, losing seasons have no bearing on a teams success. You're right. The money pumped into the system is not at all tied to the fanbase.

    Yes. I would rather have a guy who has a .864 OPS over the past 4 years combined, and an .872 OPS (136 OPS+) this year than a guy who has a .748 OPS in AAA baseball. Pretty easy logic.
  10. SoxFanForsyth
    Listen, I hope that Reddick turns into the all star caliber player that he's morphed into the past couple months. Obviously he'll come back down to earth, but if he remains a .290-.310 hitter, I'll be insanely happy. I'm absolutely pulling for this guy. I just don't want to get into a situation where we are in September and October and need a big hit and he's gone back into that .230-.240 hitter that he was in AAA.
  11. SoxFanForsyth
    Yankees getting thumped. Love it.
  12. SoxFanForsyth
    Dude come on man. At least look the s*** up. Quentin hasn't played LF since 2009. He's been in RF every game this year.

    Sox should just go trade for Zambrano. That gives them the extra SP AND it fixes their line up in interleague play! Zambrano can mash! :thumbsup:
  15. SoxFanForsyth
    And for the record, Quentin is arb eligible through 2013. Also, I'm absolutely fine with having Reddick in RF. I would 110% much rather have a SP than a RF now that Reddick has stepped up. If we can't get a SP, though, and we have an opportunity to sell high on Reddick for a guy like Quentin, I'm all for it.
  16. SoxFanForsyth
    I mean you're getting 100 points added to your OPS and a 30 HR guy in Carlos Quentin when he's playing at Fenway.
  17. SoxFanForsyth
    What?!? I'm trying to force a fit?? I am?? I'm sorry. You're right. I don't think that a guy who hasn't touched .240 in AAA is going to come up and be a .320 hitter in the MLB. He's on an insane hot streak right now. He's going to come back down to earth, and the absolute worst thing that could happen would be for him to turn back into that .230 hitter in Septmeber and October. What have you seen in his past that makes you believe that this steak he's on is more than just an aberration? It's an absolutely perfect sell high opportunity.
  18. SoxFanForsyth
    Or we could go with a proven commodity and not put all our eggs in one basket, which by the way hit .230 in AAA. I think Reddick is doing an excellent job in RF and he's absolutely crushing right now, but this is the epitome of a sell high situation.
  19. SoxFanForsyth
  20. SoxFanForsyth
    He's got a 6.9 UZR/150 in RF this year. He's been bad in the past, but he has made improvements.
  21. SoxFanForsyth
  22. SoxFanForsyth
    Huh?!? Quentin would play RF.
  23. SoxFanForsyth
    There are two big name players out there that I wouldn't be surprised in the least if one of them end up in Boston. Carlos Quentin and Ubaldo Jimenez From ESPNBoston: I'll take that 30 HR, 30 Double RH bat in this lineup all freaking day.
  24. SoxFanForsyth
    I'm perfectly fine with this. We need a SP, not more offense. Our offense, if healthy, is crazy good.
