I broke my personal boycott and watched them last night. I love the way this team runs the bases. it is an aggressive style of baseball that I grew up playing and loving to watch.

This would have been my question exactly. Even with the injury, is bringing your "starting catcher" off the bench to fill in at second a good managerial move? Not in my world. There must have been someone else. -
A hippie is a life form that once was but no longer exists as we knew it. Try as they might, it just ain't coming back. Lots of fakes out there though. Most of us jut sort of grew up or maybe we just grew old.
-
At his best, one of the best to ever play the game. 21/22 - a game that I will never forget.
-
I was elated that he was signed and resigned. I like real winners even if they are just sitting in the dugout.
-
I don't remember advocating for anything, but I was happy for sure that he was extended.
-
I absolutely hated the Chris Sale trade on the day I heard about it and will continue to hate it going forward. In whose world do you trade pitching - even simply the potential for pitching at the level of Sale for a young untried not a very good fielding second baseman. If money was saved, how's that working out right now. There were and will always be other options to fill a void at second base than trading away any kind of pitching. I will admit though that I am huge sale fan. He did more for us simply by sitting in the dugout than some have done on the field.

I haven't posted for awhile quite simply because there is very little about this team that excites me at all. I would say that anytime you have young pitching that is even adequate in this day and age maybe you should explore a longer term contract signing. Houck should have been locked up for some time now. Bello being locked up before a workhorse like Houck was silly in my estimation. I'd take a shot at Crawford as well. As for the extension to Rafaela, why? An excellent fielder for sure but what else really? Maybe some day just not to day.Oh yes and for the record, I would never have traded Sale for Grissom. Must be easier these days to find good pitching as opposed to second baseman (sarcasm). I should end this little rant by saying that if they try to lock up any of their young players now, maybe we should be happy that they are at least trying to do something as opposed to nothing.
-
wait was this a nerve being struck? I have always believed that Houck should start - just for the record.
-
I haven't posted for awhile and I'm a little confused. Is this the same web-site that some posters were adamant that Houck should be used coming in out of the bullpen? lol
-
Casas didn't show much interest in signing long term for what the Sox were offering. He is pretty confident with respect to what he can do I think.
-
I loved the initial deal as well as the extension and I wish that he was still here.
-
I can be a real sucker for sure, but what he said makes sense to me. If they actually commit to playing the younger potential, I'll likely watch at least for a while. I would still like to see a Mongomery signing but not at ace money.
-
I don't think that I would trade Duran until knowing what he really is capable of doing. He has the potential to do things that no one else on the roster can do. Yoshida is the dh and gets some time in the outfield. I don't think that Devers goes anywhere on this team but third. If they are really concerned about the defense, they have to have someone at second who can make the plays and a better catcher. if they don't sign a free agent pitcher, I think we need to settle in and live with what we got.
-
I agree with you about that outfield. Two out of the 3 could provide excellent defense for a change out there. Who knows about the third member of the trio Duran. With his game changing potential, it would be worth it to me to stick him out there somewhere just to see what he's got. Got to do some more thinking about the bench. I actually am starting to see a little hope for optimism with this year's bunch. I would still like to see that one more decent arm signed. They certainly look like they could run, hit, and score!
-
I must be missing something once again. Rafaela should be the starting cf for this team. He is 23 with a pretty good set of tools to work with. Duran and O'neil would be the other two out there. You have a dh to use as well. Having him in center makes us at least a little better up the middle.
-
same with Cron and numerous others I guess
-
Lynn, Rice, and Evans for me. Who are those other guys you mentioned?
-
I have been reading a bit about O'Neil. Nothing that I have read or heard makes me dislike him.
-
someone said something about something so it must be true:p notin - this is just an example of my sense of humor.
-
I was actually trying to make a point. if your sixth best prospect is a young second baseman why in the hell would you trade for another who may or may not be able to field the position.
-
Hey - throw enough crap against that old wall something is likely to stick.
-
You sound like you have experience as a financial consultant.
-
Interesting to me that Yorke is sixth on the prospects list.
-
If they choose to pay him a grotesque amount of money, it certainly would appear that they are desperate. Wait - they are desperate. they really haven't done anything that amounts to anything so far to address the most glaring need that they have.
