At the time, I also was thinking Pomeranz. The point I am trying to make is that even though it is a practice that does get used, I don't think that using a pitcher for much other than just pitching in the American league makes any sense at all. I think that that is also kind of sad but is what the game has become. i would have felt better about the whole situation if whoever he chose to put in there had just looked like maybe they could have scored from second on a single. If you use any pinch runner, shouldn't that runner be able to run just a little. Maybe Wright is just way more athletic than he looks.

I don't disagree with you at all. I also think that it was a poor choice but I also think that we are hind sighting this to death. My question is - Who else would anyone here have used to pinch run? - backup catcher? not a good idea. A relief pitcher? probably not. Another starter? I don't know. Who?

Vegas has Ortiz 2 to 1 leading the way

Not an unreasonable way to go for sure if there is a free agent starter out there who could be targeted. Who would it be next year? If there was a big pitching target available this year, I could see them doing this or maybe trying to solve the issue with the dh from within. But, if there is not someone out there, I don't think that we need to try to save any of Mr. Henry's money. I'm happy that he is willing to spend it.

just saw this - so very sad
-
you are right here - just prospects for me to offer here though. I still believe that they lock up their current outfield so no one gets traded. they don't need to. What is the worst case scenario? We bring back essentially the same team with a legit bat to replace Ortiz? Not too bad. if you could land Archer say for prospects and say Shaw (first and third or dh), it would be a go. if it meant Moncada going, I could live with that for Archer.

I'm reading 0 into it. I was just happy to see him out there. Personally I would prefer him to both Hanigan and Holiday any day. I do no see their offensive talents jettisoning them ahead of him on the depth chart.
-
Not the point at all and Spud is right - weak sauce. Need to move on.
-
glad to see him out there last night. Looks like he knows what he is doing to me.
-
If Tampa came a knocking looking for prospects and offering up Archer, I hope the Sox would open the door.
-
You would be the one who has done the research - although I did know about about Berry and what's his name. Not sure I see where you are going if you are comparing Moncada to these two. Regardless of how much faster than both of the two you reference Moncada is, I would rather have him learn how to steal bases at the ml level in a regular season game as opposed to the playoffs. He doesn't have the experience.

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.
