That was whacked. The bullpen phone was frightening.
-
Oh no... I think we need a thread devoted exclusively to lineup suggestions and criticisms.
-
Or not.
-
I doubt that it ends the JD saga. But if our offer to him gets pulled I'm sure we'll find out pretty quickly.
-
One little incident with Papi I will never forget was when he destroyed that bullpen phone. Man was he angry.
-
I know. One of my favorites.
-
Plus Drew and Koji.
-
There were some big acquisitions in the offseasons preceding each of the Sox 3 titles this century.
-
I will say that I'm optimistic they'll be better than they would have been if we brought Farrell back for another season.
-
Personally I'm looking forward to arguing about it all year.
-
Butterfield gave kind of a non-answer though, didn't he?
-
I'm not super happy being a boring 90 win team battling it out for a Wild Card spot - especially when there are opportunities to get better.
-
We're still waiting for our buzz to show up. A certain famous play by Samuel Beckett comes to mind.
-
Pedroia raised some eyebrows in 2012 when he stuck up for Youkilis vs. Valentine...saying something like 'That's not how we do things here'...basically calling Valentine an asshat LOL
-
And he laughs and says 'f*** you, I'm not doing anything today either.'
-
I think it should also be factored in somewhere that JDM has no QO attached.
-
DH's can't win MVP so that one's safe...
-
There's risk no matter what you do or don't do. If we fail to sign JD there's the risk we blew a chance to sign one of the best power hitters in baseball over the next 4-5 years.
-
I'm with you on that.
-
Cobb brings plenty of risk. I'm not opposed to your proposals though. I just wish we'd freakin' do something...this offseason is really starting to drive me nutty.
-
Alternate ways to characterize DD's offseason to date: 1. Commendably patient and restrained. 2. Hasn't done a damn thing.
-
Can't really use Papi as a measuring stick. He was an anomaly - a fantastic bargain for virtually his whole career.
-
FanGraphs piece about JDM and why the Sox could really use him: https://www.fangraphs.com/blogs/the-red-sox-and-j-d-martinez-still-need-each-other/
-
You don't want to outbid yourself for no reason, of course. But to wait around and wait around and then have him sign with Arizona for $100 million or whatever would kind of suck too.
-
Some of the chat on Arizona being interested is that they would have to move some payroll first. That sounds like this could drag on forever.
