As great a player as Trout is and as much as I would like to have him on my team, I'm not sure how he appears to be having a better season right now than Mookie. I guess I don't see it but I probably am missing something. MVP in my mind has connoted something other than the best player. In my eyes, I see Papi as the MVP of this team. If I were voting, I think that I would go with Betts, but it wouldn't surprise me one bit if things keep going as they have if Mr. Ortiz comes out on top.

I think that anyone would be stupid not to question his readiness. He isn't. I'm just not in the business of criticizing any young prospects these days. I will continue to speak up for him as I would any of our other young prospects and players going forward. Until they actually do something that might make me question their attitudes, I won't be the one criticizing any 21 year olds.

It is incredible that this is even discussion worthy. Things must be just to good for us right now. Nothing else to cry about. Putting him on the playoff roster accomplishes nothing. Would Usain Bolt help us on the base paths? i think not. It would make 0 sense. He is just a kid, once again said with 19 ml at bats. Not his time!
-
I hope that they are smart enough to not use him in any capacity. He certainly has great athletic attributes but putting anyone out there before they are ready is ridiculous. I don't care how fast he is. It is a recipe for failure and he doesn't deserve to be put in that situation. He has had 19 major league at bats. Maybe somebody out there can say for sure what that might tell us about his future. I don't care how many times he has struck out, my crystal ball says the picture isn't all that clear. Every scout that has ever seen him play, has "gushed" about what he could become. Maybe though he just won't be good enough to break through in Boston. He sure might bring us back something in a trade package though. But maybe we ought to consider giving him just a little more time to develop before we just kick him to the curb.

These are the ones that I actually saw play. I have not actually seen Brady play. Thought he meant live.

What i remember most was one outfit suggesting a 20 game differential to pick form. Wasn't it 78-98? thought that was a tad on the cautious side.

I knew that you would chuckle. it's old guy's humor!!! How about I say - long time older fan's humor.

My 86 sucks and boy am I happy.

Clay Buchholz - Is he worth the 2016 option?
cp176 replied to Slasher9's topic in Boston Red Sox Talk
Yes is my answer but you all know that i don't care how JH spends his money as long as it looks like it might help us. -
I really hope things work out for Moncada. If he shows signs of living up to just some of his potential, wherever he plays I don't think he will be platooning with anybody. By wherever he plays I not only mean what position. Hope he winds up playing for us but you never know.

ok - this has taken a while for me but I have to say he is now my favorite Red Sox of all time. 121 RBI's ties the "Captain's" feat of 1967. An amazing accomplishment in itself but to just keep on going as he has is remarkable. I will always remember him for being exactly who and what he is - not necessarily a celebrity - a ballplayer who cares for others and who treats people with the respect that he gets treated with. Because he doesn't want to be, his attributes make him bigger than the game of baseball. Now, once again I say, that Yaz's year in 1967 stands alone, but this guy's career and sincere sense of community means a great deal. Here's to him I say!!! A true first ballot HOFamer if there ever has been one.

Couldn't agree more with you and as has already been stated I also think that it works both ways. What I love about this big man the most is his commitment and I believe genuine warmth for the Red Sox fan base. In a day and age where negativity seems to rule, you have this gentle big man who plays a game for a living and gives so much back at the same time. My guess is that he stays with the club in some capacity in the future and continues to give to his adopted community.

I have liked Hernandez a great deal for a couple of years now. I like him a lot more at either second or short than I do at third. I agree though that if was between Hill and Hernandez there would be no question in my mind that I wold go with Hernandez. I'm really tired of watching Hill. Honestly though I would stick Shaw over there and leave him alone. I like his power potential at third. That being said, I think that Hernandez is a starting second baseman/shortstop in waiting for somebody just probably not for Boston. As much as I am curious about Moncada, I would not put him over there just yet. These are critical games and I don't think that it would be fair to him. The last thing that he needs is any fan backlash due to expectations that he just isn't ready to meet. Give him time or trade him.

I'd rather watch Moncada try to keep his streak alive than suffer watching Hill for another at bat.

Benintendi=left field for a long time!
-
Ok ok - I get it - I wouldn't trade that little s*** Benintendi either! Put him in left and maybe leave him there for a few years!
-
wait wait wait - One of the things I am saying is do not trade Bradley for anybody. We have Price and Porcello - not a bad start. Personally I still count benintendi and moncada as prospects. I would trade either or both a long time before i would trade any of the 3 I previously mentioned. If someone was willing to give up a top quality young ace for prospects plus second tier players, i could live with that if the return was great enough. i'm beating the tired old drum here and I realize I might be on a bit of an island but if they replaced Papi's bat with top quality and did nothing else I would be ok with it. i truly believe that having the big bat in the middle of our lineup makes them all better hitters.

My hope is that they at least try to lock up as many of Betts, Bradley, and Bogaerts as they can. Love these guys.

Thanks for the post. Tells you what type of fan I am. Just glad to know that he is still on the radar.
