    That is a legitimate concern.

    Are you retarded? The sox' bullpen leads the AL in ERA, and they're keeping Workman in AAA because they're keeping him stretched out for when, not if, he needs to join the rotation. Please stop posting.

    Well that happens when you're throwing out f***ing Brock Holt out there on a daily basis. And the fact that they're bad with RISP right now is something that happens for a period of time every season, and every season we hear the same whine-fest about it. It happens. I'm not kidding you, i'm telling you to get real.

    How exactly do you measure "desire"? Saying they're not trying is nonsense. They're struggling because they're missing two key players, and because the SP is sucking ass. No need to overthink things.

    Using a game in which Lester was getting owned by everyone as an example of why Ellsbury is worth his obscene contract shows a pretty significant lack of intelligence.

    The Cardinals didn't have Carpenter, but Schilling's health was a huge question mark, and Pedro wasn't the Pedro of old. The Cardinals had essentially the best lineup an NL team could field with three 34+ homer hitters and lots of depth. A few balls dropping and that would have been a very different series.

    Fred, keep your anger in check, lest your vagina explode like a700's already has. We don't want to have to clean up that mess too.

    Batting average, like spring training, means very little in the grand scheme of things.

    What are your sources? Everything i've read sides a hell of a lot more with average to slightly above average. I will concede though, that most publications do expect him to outgrow the position. Do notice that there's a significant difference between an "average" and "poor" defender in both the 20-80 scale and statistical analysis/

    The reason he shot to top-prospect status is because his D at SS improved enough in the minors for him to be safely projected as an at least average defensive SS in the Majors for the long term. You are contradicting every scouting report and analysis piece on Bogaerts because you've seen him underthrow a couple times in cold weather and have convinced yourself D is his "weakness". That makes no sense.

    It's April 16th. You can't evaluate anything in two weeks.
  12. User Name
    So what you're saying is that two weeks worth of games and a couple of poor throws are enough to pigeonhole XB's defensive potential?

    Of the teams five with the best W% in ST for each league: Cleveland, Angels, Miami, Rockies, Baltimore, are all playing sub .500 baseball, while of the five teams with the worst W% in each league: Atlanta, Milwauke, Dodgers, Texas, White Sox are all playing better than .500 ball and most of them are leading their divisions. Spring Training doesn't mean jack s*** and fred doesn't know what he's talking about.

    I challenge Jacko to find me a scouting report that project Bogaert's defense and arm tools at less than a 40, which is MLB average. He's making it up.
  15. User Name
    Because some people are trying to prove their "Red Sox fandom" by being insufferable douches.
  16. User Name
    You're trying to exercise logic with someone who doesn't understand what the concept is. "Older means wiser" need not apply with that specimen.
  17. User Name
    I'm talking about Bogaerts. His playing time amounts to less than a month in total games.
  18. User Name
    Slightly more than two weeks in his career.

    Talksox. com shouldn't be anyone's vent-place or whine-receptacle. It's a place where we're supposed to be able to come talk about the Red Sox and baseball in general. People keep leaving the site because of the ******** attitude of some posters but they just don't get it. For the love of God, dial the whining, negativity and know-it-all, told-you-so ******** back just a little bit.

    Fred, you don't get to tell anyone here what they can and can't say. Your idea that they are struggling because they let off the gas in ST after a WS run is: A) Unproven at best, and fabrication at worst, and B ) f***ing retarded. Stop it with the goddamn whining, no one wants to read it dude, seriously. You're just making it up as you go and don't have a clue.
  21. User Name
    His point flew right above your head. He's saying that not only Yanks/Dodgers are paying premium dollars for talent, and he's right.
  22. User Name
    No it isn't. You don't understand how team's revenue streams work, yet continue pretending that you do. Stop.
  23. User Name
    Of course it's your imagination.
  24. User Name
    It happens. If it's still terrible in the middle of May, then we have reason to worry.
  25. User Name
    He was being sarcastic when he asked the questions.
