Youkilis had some excellent seasons for us.

Holy crap, Middlebrooks is putting some serious swings on the baseball. Wow.
-
Seriously, I thought Valentine was supposed to be the great tactical guy. That inning would tend to disprove it.
-
Sorry jung...guess I'm still dazed and confused from yesterday's game.
-
jung, to make your case about the handling of the pitchers I think you need to compare the Red Sox to another team who you see doing things differently and doing it right. In yesterday's game Showalter seemed to use his bullpen pretty much exactly the same as Valentine did. Who uses a lot of relievers for short stints any more than Joe Maddon does? And the teams that made it to the World Series last year kept parading guys out of the pen in a steady stream. Like I say, who is doing this the right way?

I just read the piece by Eric Wilbur. Vicious! I read the first few reader comments and Wilbur was getting blasted pretty good. He is one cynical dude. Gonzo may turn out to be a bust but it's much too early to write the guy off. I don't really get questioning his commitment. He shows up to play every day and he's been doing that for years.

This is the first time I've said this, but if they could work out a trade for Beckett, preferably with an NL team, and get back a really good prospect or two, maybe they should do it. It would free up even more payroll room to go after an ace-type. I've always defended Beckett but there does seem to be a cloud surrounding the guy since last September.
-
Pretty good piece by Abraham, I would say.
-
I went with somewhat disappointed. I am definitely getting that gnawing feeling that his power has seriously tailed off, possibly because of the shoulder surgery and the idiotic Home Run Derby. And yes, I'm getting that gnawing feeling about his ability to step up and do big things in big moments like Ortiz or Manny.

Youkilis, Matsuzaka and Junks-that's a total of 25 million AAV coming off the books. If you add Ortiz it's 40 million.

I don't think the FO has to be 'honest' with the fans, Pumpsie. Intelligent fans can see what's going on in front of them and draw intelligent conclusions. Frankly I don't think the FO always knows what they're going to do next any more than we do. Some of this is 'read and react'. The way things are going, though, this season is going to reach a critical mass very early and I suspect the FO will act accordingly by promoting Lavarnway etc., and preparing to do things like trading Youk. But the trade deadline isn't until July.
-
I don't think it's the time to be trading prospects, it's the time for developing them.
-
This team must have done something to really piss off the baseball gods last September. I mean, Middlebrooks comes up for a couple of games and today he can't play. Cook comes up, gets knocked around and gets injured.
-
I have no problem with anything you said there. I think it's great that fans get to come on here and express their opinions about what should be done. I've been on the 'dump Salty' bandwagon so I certainly do it too.
-
In fairness to the FO, making the actual decisions is more difficult to do when it's real life and final and irrevocable. They don't have the luxury of being wrong with impunity like us. For example the folks who said they should have let Ortiz walk, well, they can just shrug, laugh and move on.
-
Good stuff Mr. jung.
-
Pujols now below the Mendoza line at .194 with 5 RBI through 27 games, 1/6 of the season.
-
Sox sellout streak continues and why they lie to the fans.

Aha, well, I would say promotional hype is one thing, and flat-out lying is another... -
I liked Alex Gonzalez when he was here. I liked OCab too. I've always thought it was strange how those two keep getting shipped from one team to another. And yes, I know all the OCab rumors...
-
It's ex-Sox players etc. so any players on other teams.
-
-
Jed Lowrie has a .927 OPS. Now that ain't right.
-
Papelbon is off to a great start, which doesn't surprise me at all. I think there's a good chance he'll continue to be one of the top closers in the game over the next 4 years.
