Duran's name as well as others has been mentioned in trade talks since last year. I want them to keep him and if that means putting him in centerfield then so be it. He could become an outstanding asset. With the way this team is constructed presently, his centerfield defense or lack thereof isn't going to be a big deal over the long haul. You need to be strong up the middle for sure but in advocating for an unknown possibly ok and possibly not young second baseman and a catching staff that may or may not be adequate tells me that yup I'm keeping Duran and playing him.

I'm a Mainer and I have a friend down here in Florida (you know that place that some here would never live of which I'm ok with) who thinks that Maine is in fact part of Canada. I have a few good friends down here who are Canadian. They all played hockey and i'm pretty sure that I would like to have them on my side at all times.

Clearly bringing Theo back creates a buzz that excites Red Sox fans. I wish that he could pitch but oh well. It's nice I guess that JH now has managed to bring some wealthy well knowners into the fold of management I guess but I guess I'll wait to see how it translates to the team that we yard out in the spring. So far, I'm not excited by this move at all. Hope it amounts to something.

Adequate behind the plate and a huge question mark at second base makes us a big so so with respect to up the middle defense and it doesn't matter whether they have a gold glover in center field.
-
Sorry buddy but this is a post that I wish you had not made.
-
I would like to see him healthy and playing everyday. At least then we would know what we have.
-
If the Red Sox are not going to make any substantial moves to better the team, why keep anybody that might bring in decent prospects. Why continue to pay one of the top closers in the league if he is surrounded by a team that isn't going anywhere. Now with respect to Duran - he is a prospect with possibly some incredible potential. The type that changes games. You don't give up on those guys until you are pretty sure of what you have.

ownership thinks that the "Fenway experience" will continue to put rumps in the seats. It's not about the product on the field anymore. hey hopefully a whole new generation of first and last time fans go to enjoy the antique experience for at least a day if they can afford it.
-
...and just like that this post makes sense even to me. Doesn't make me feel much better or even confident that any of those things might happen but certainly is a sensible approach to a pretty bleak picture.
-
tragedy? really? what the Red Sox choose to do or not do is somewhat shy of a tragedy. Their choosing to not sign players that they desperately need if in fact they have the money is just stupid not tragic. Maybe they don't have the money that we think they do. If that's the case I'll tip my hat to their worthy efforts to make us competitive to date. Pedro talked about the culture that once defined the Boston Red Sox. It's gone. Sadly gone.

"Right there with the rest of the league" says a lot to me. SAD

He doesn't care abut winning! it's all about the money.lol

Many of us have been running up the white flag for awhile now. Anything is better than nothing. Not signing anyone who is remotely serviceable such as Paxton just seems like a continuation of a nothingness campaign. I'll take it all back if a signing or two takes place to sort of indicate that they really do give a s*** about this year's team. Sadly, and I freely admit, I really am losing interest in them daily. I hardly know the names of these guys anymore.
-
Thankfully for him that it's all about the money i guess right. That's a sarcastic little snarky, Eddie from LB comment for those wondering. Any of these guys who can play just a little bit have to be wondering just like us what the hell is going on here. Trade these guys and give them a chance to win. Upper management can then start promoting the idea of a real youth rebuild.
-
With Paxton signing with LA., why keep anybody that amounts to anything? It really is becoming sickeningly apparent that this team's direction is - who knows where. If it's about a total remake of a roster, let them go for prospects - Jansen, Martin, Devers, Story, and whoever else makes a competitive wage.
-
God bless your family. Hope you thanked them for their support.

Portland might be a good place for me. When Werner tries to justify high ticket prices regardless of the team's quality, my flesh feels flayed. I consider Fenway a beautiful piece of art but I don't really need to make that trip again. It is the quality of the team that justifies the price we pay. Also that entire area is in line for some big time redevelopment which is coming. I just don't know exactly what that means for the Ball club financially. The hospital district is going to be seeing some change but pretty sure that that does not reflect on Red Sox ownership although it will likely help make the area in general more attractive.
-
And in the meantime we have quite the team to watch I guess.
-
Personally I guess since it looks as though nothing of any great significance is going to be done during this off season, I really hope that they will move quickly to promote some of the supposedly can't miss prospects that we have. We all know that in the past our prospects have been on slow bake before getting anything resembling a shot at the big leagues. I'm going to need something to keep my interest level up just a bit. I understand how some here feel that in some instances moving a player up too soon can be a career breaker. I think that I am over that. Give me something to look forward to... - Teel, Anthony, Mayer(when recovered) anybody else that can catch and throw.

not sure about this one but i see lots of bull nuts hanging off trailer hitches.
-
this joke I can deal with. good one.
-
Guess I fit that mold as well. Although I have to say that I'm pretty much all Mainer. Well, actually the 80% of Maine that still seems somewhat normal. Oh well, like old Jad said - I wouldn't be here if it wasn't for the taxes and cheaper living overall, the warmer weather, the security that I feel, among a whole host of other reasons. I must be one of those rich folk though since I do go back to where I grew up for a good chunk of the year.

yeah I know right - We are all the same down here . Censorship city. lol

It's an angry world we live in isn't it! Anger everywhere. Even on a sports forum board, the angries just keep on coming. I'm a Florida resident and am happy to be one.

This is an interesting post. Guess I feel the same way. We don't live close to Fenway so traveling there has been an event to be entertained. Seeing the best players in the game motivated me to visit. I want to be entertained and watching mediocre no names doesn't entertain me much whether they win or not.
