    yup - although I did kind of like Bill Bradley.
  2. cp176
    Maybe he will Paul Pierce us tonight or even better for the Skanks - Willis Reed us
  3. cp176
    da Rock

    Wait - maybe it is the least important spot in the batting order which isn't important anyway.
  5. cp176
    He couldn't field worth a crap but I think that he was a hitman!
  6. cp176
    did dom Dimaggio look like Mr. Peabody?
  7. cp176
    that friggin third baseman will always be number one in my heart but no love for Rocky?
  8. cp176
    lol - But what I have realized is that based on what the statistics say abut JBJ and his defense, the eye test ain't so bad! Got to be as credible as anything else I guess.

    Now I am really starting to get pissed about this whole topic. I am an angry man. If we just hadn't traded Margot for that Kimbrel guy we could have somebody else who could get it done in cf. can't imagine anybody wanting to trade away a prospect like this Margot for a relief pitcher. lol (sarcasm alert for those with no sense of humor)

    Without the special oil and stuff you think Bell?

    So as near I has I can figure there what might be one person if that on here who doesn't realize that JBJ is currently our best option in centerfield. Sticking with the thread has really never been strictly adhered to when the discussion generated in the thread is good. To answer the question should he be traded now - pretty unlikely that it would happen right now I'd say. If he continues his streaky ways, sure I could see it happening unless he wound up signing an extremely good home town contract. He is the best we got right now but every aspect of his game probably could be replaced whether we like the guy or not - that's just the way it goes.

    That one does deserve an lol particularly when one of the nicest posters says it. There was a clear message there.
  13. cp176
    How's that infield D looking for us now if that happens. Might be a new found respect for XB the guy who looks good to the eye but not the sats. lol
  14. cp176
    Hey now - you know that the sarcasm alert bell just rang! Things can certainly change for sure, but when I consider Kimbrel's importance to this team, it amazes me how many here would be willing to just let him walk away. I'm not for over paying players but excellence at some point gets rewarded. His importance to his team as well the emphasis on bullpens getting more pronounced makes him one of the guys on that I would least like to see leave. Maybe some closers are easy to replace - not this one I'm afraid.
  15. cp176
    Really - you think that he was talking about you Hitch?
  16. cp176
    In all fairness Moon though don't you have to say that very few people on here are actually out for JBJ's head. What maybe one or two and that's it. People might want more than what they are getting from their center fielder and that is understandable but almost every person that has posted here knows that he is our best option out there for the time being. It really isn't some kind of witch hunt that's going on. The discussion in general about how valuable he is or isn't is just being blown out of proportion.
  17. cp176
    They rush him back and we'll be looking at last year's version of this kid.
  18. cp176
    lol - Liking that last sentence
  19. cp176
    JBJ is the best we got out there right now. He should be out there right now. He wouldn't be my choice as the best cf that we have ever had but he is the best we have right now. He is a very good fielder if you believe your eyes which I do. Lately his talents as well as his significance to this team's success are being blown out of proportion. If he doesn't hit, at some point in time he is going to be replaced. He would not bring back squat in a trade right now because he is such a streaky hitter. I'll enjoy him while we have him but I won't elevate him to some heroic figure out there.
  20. cp176
    An achilles tear would likely have been season ending but a cracked bone in the ankle possibly just 10 days? This is a guy who yes I would hate to see rushed back at all. it really looks as those he is poised for a super year. Here's hoping that Lin can get it done in the field. I think that he can.
  21. cp176
    If I thought that it was an either or situation, Hanley would be gone in one of those New York minutes we hear about. Kimbrel is far more valuable to this team than Hanley . Doesn't work like that for me simply because I don't see it as an either or situation. If John Henry said that in 2019 we could have one or the other and asked all Red Sox fans to vote, does anyone truly think that it would be close?
  22. cp176
    I didn't really think that you did and I appreciate you saying as much. You did give me a chance to express my opinion which probably has a lot more to do with gathering information to make decisions as opposed to who should be in cf for us right now.
  23. cp176
    I would never disagree with the comment that he is the best we have nor would I disagree about him being damned good out there. I like him too but if you believe what the analytics show and you still don't think that he is replaceable then I guess I don't know what to say. Since he is currently on our team, he definitely should be in centerfield but based on analytical information he sure and hell looks replaceable. that is all I got. this discussion for me really has little to do with JBJ being our center fielder right now.
  24. cp176
    If that is how you are able to interpret data, then what exactly are the rules? You are telling me that the 12 guys who are ranked ahead of JBJ are all gold glove worthy? You see where I am going with this I bet.
  25. cp176
    That's because you have yet to be poisoned by the "seek and you shall find" analytical data to suit your needs. It clearly has been proven by the data that he a slightly above average center fielder and we all know that he can't hit. lol
