I think that we have a couple of guys at the top of our rotation who really would have no problem at all doing that if the need arose. All I keep hearing about is how goddam much power this yankees team has. Because you hit for power doesn't mean you are tough and I like our toughness a shitload more than I like that of any yankee. Let the games begin.
-
I think that you certainly get a lot of support here for that opinion. I just don't think that DD thinks that way. I hope he doesn't. It might come to that at some point for sure but I do agree with Kimmi on this one. If he hits like like he did many moons ago unlikely or not his option is going to vest and it might not be the worst thing that could happen for us.
-
it might be likely but that really is a guess. you just don't know.
-
My opinion for what its worth is that vesting option be damned if the man has a throwback year and hits. I don't think that any of you are seeing things clearly if you think that making sure Hanley doesn't get the at necessary at bats is any kind of a priority for this team. Winning is the priority and if Hanley really hits, Hanley really plays.

Speak for yourself Tonto. I have no concern at all about Price's elbow. As much as Jacksonian wants us all to be crapping our pants worrying about it, I'm not. Aint going to happen. Two aces at the top. There is no way the Yankees even really come close to our starting pitchers. I don't buy the ifs factor any more than I would for any team. They all have ifs. This team has got it and the pedal goes to the metal as far as I am concerned.
-
He sure as hell gets it here doesn't he. I'm curious to hear how our analytical folk take to the idea that yes DD understands its relative importance, has embraced it, and is making sure that his coaching has all of the tools it needs to get the job done. Who do you suppose is behind that - Ben maybe or Larry - sure and hell couldn't be that old school numbnut Dombrowski lol . Oh by the way Bell, does hindsight also say that he should have foreseen the injury to Thornburg before pulling the trigger. ********
-
I think that you are right. The health of the starting pitching will have a great deal to do with each team's success. I'm not quite as detailed as some are here but the way I see it is this - most people won't argue that the Yankees lineup from top to bottom looks freakishly good. Ours isn't bad probably right behind them. As far as the starting pitching goes, if everybody stays healthy, I really think that the Red Sox will have as good of a starting core as just about anybody in the game. Two aces at the top does not hurt. Good luck - it is going to be a fun ride.
-
I love your optimism for your team. Believe it or not we, guess I should I, feel the same about our team.
-
Red Sox fans don't see it like that. Or at least I don't.
-
We are all a bunch of numbskulls who just don't get it. Maybe someday we will smarten up.
-
I think I could like it again.
-
Based on everything that I have read, heard , and now seen, I think that this could be the year of dueling aces. And believe me they will duel in a friendly sort of way. Good luck with that Yankee fans.
-
You saying that it is a fact of life implies to me that you don't think that I understand that. I do. Most people I hope would when you are talking about two role players at best who have a very similar skill set.
-
Most of us here understand totally why Moreland was signed. Although I absolutely agree with Jack on this one let's not get carried away. He said it very well but numerous people have expressed a similar opinion. I think that the people who sound adamantly opposed to the Moreland signing are in the minority. I'm glad you liked the Moreland signing. So do I.
-
It is starting to look obvious that the Sox don't see him as being their first or second catcher moving forward. They wouldn't have him playing so much elsewhere if their plan was to catch him often. I still think that they will look very hard at this kid before giving him away. He is to talented and athlete just to give away.
-
Looks obvious to me. Holt has that option right so away he goes.
-
So is Price! Let's go
-
Oh no no no - Maybe you have determined this Bell along with what two others maybe three. I think that there is still a majority here who get what the significant importance of a strong number three guy in that lineup is all about.
-
Did I say that it doesn't happen? I think that I understand that it does. It probably isn't habit forming though. This topic has been pounded to death. Some of this would be determined by who gets to decide who the "better " player is. My opinion - it is a way of doing things that I detest.
-
I got to tell you I've always liked Cobb but I sure don't know what it would take to get him. If he is healthy, why wouldn't he be potentially a mid rotation kind of guy? Not cheap and I still think that we are ok for the time being. I am also fairly confident that DD is looking into everything that he can to get more pitching. He is likely not to get screwed by anybody though.
-
Agree
-
I'm not sure that it was a good signing Moon but I'm just not sure that I'd call it horrible. He has a great glove, some pop, and more importantly he looks to be a team player. He is not just some stiff plucked out of the barnyard. There others more talented but he is the kind of player that it is really hard to go wrong with.
-
thanks Jack - sadly for me it points out that I don't know what I'm talking about roughly 3/4 of the time. I don't take myself very seriously! lol
-
he has an option and everybody knows that if you have an option you go down before someone who doesn't have an option even if you are better than they are. That is pure sarcasm because I don't believe in that theory at all. Best players make the team. Now in Holt's case there really isn't much not to like but when you get the most at bats you have ever gotten in any season before or since on one of the poorest teams in baseball - that doesn't scream indispensable to me. Send him down and at least keep Marrero around for the glove.
-
oh Harmony come on - don't talk dirty to me with all that sexy talk - steamer (a fine clam) - zips (what our opponents get a lot of when Sale is on the hill) - Marcel (not sure about this one - some Frenchman trying to sell me a bottle of cheap wine?) Got to remember who you are talking to. lol
