Agreed. When Fred sees something s***** he has to correlate it with something else. Francona always came in handy for that.
-
Fred's right about one thing, we have had some very s***** starts the last few years. 4-9 in 2010, 2-10 in 2011, 4-10 last year.
-
Jeez Fred, if you're such a big believer in these spring games, you should be doing cartwheels over Iggy's numbers : 292/324/446 770
-
And Santana is an example of how risky these deals are.
-
Obviously there's still a very good chance Bradley will get sent down later. But by having him on the opening day roster they are opening the possibility that they won't send him down at all. If the primary concern was preserving a year, they would have done it right now.
-
It could still happen.
-
But if by some miracle the Sox are leading the division and Bradley is playing great, they can't do it yet. In that scenario the fans are excited and happy, ticket sales are rebounding and for all reasons it's stupid to send him down.
-
Of course. He's been working on becoming an adequate fielder, that's pretty much his ceiling there.
-
Bradley era is here.

Santana for Lester/Jacoby Revisited

I remember at one point the Yankees supposedly offered Hughes and Melky Cabrera. -
On the Red Sox website right now one of the headlines is 'Red Sox send Bard to Double A to find consistency'. Now that is some Pollyanna coverage. Many fans are thinking 'to salvage career', or 'to try to stop sucking'.

Manny had a bad night in left in Game 1 of the 2004 Series. Errors on back to back to plays in the 8th that led to 2 runs that tied the game. On one of them he did a tumble out there.
-
One kind of misplay I've seen a lot in Fenway is when guys pull up short of the wall or jump too soon, and the ball goes over their head and falls where they could have caught it if they had gone closer to the wall. Seems like it's usually an opposing fielder.
-
Nava had some adventures in LF last year. He's had to do some work on his fielding.
-
Don't you think it takes a little time to adapt to playing balls off the Monster? Maybe it would be more accurate to say that experience helps.
-
Does he have a history as an egg shell skull?
-
Yeah, about the best thing I can say for Sweeney is that it's pretty clear he's not a juicer.
-
3 for 8 with a HR.
-
I have to say Sweeney is not one of my favorites to don the Sox uniform.
-
The Fenway outfield is bizarro. All 3 outfielders have their respective challenges. I would agree with Jung that the challenges of left field are less to do with athleticism and more to do with experience and judgment.
-
I don't think you can break the schedule down like that. Often it's not who you play but when you play them...who's going good and who's going s***** at the time.
-
No matter what happens people will be overreacting one way or another. And that will continue all season.
-
Thanks man, much appreciated.
-
That's all true. But judging from what I see on message boards, it's infinitely more entertaining trying to analyze how your baseball team is run than it is trying to analyze how your hot dog company is run. Just start a thread on your favorite hot dog company and see how much action it gets.
-
Well, I can understand that the Yankees feel a little desperate right now. Of the 9 players that were in their starting lineup on Opening Day 2012, they will have 2 in the lineup on Opening Day 2013. That's pretty incredible.
