    Kind of like buying a car. You want that beemer you won't be paying something less. Out of the gate. depreciation begins.

    "Not too shabby"

    I think that it is a club that being a member of we fondly share. The memories of watching some of these kids play today will be talked about the same way we talk about our past favorites. They just play the game the right way. As an aside here I have to tell you that I really want to see Swihart get it done and stick out there in left.

    LaHoud now even! I'll take you boys back - Lou Clinton!

    Griffin was another one who had just started to blossom. I was sick when he got plunked. Never the same.

    Oh boy! The great thing about it was that Tartabull didn't really have much of an arm. That play is on instant replay in my mind. Didn't it happen yesterday.

    I have to say I do remember Rice being a work in progress in left but I don't recall considering him bad. Don't ruin my memories with statistical analysis please. Manny I certainly would consider borderline bad (c-). Just from memory though.

    We will have to wait and see about this one. At the present time, Swihart is doing it and Benintendi might be able to some day.

    I agree with you and you know me - I'll never try to justify any opinion with quantifiable statistical evidence. Takes too long to look up. I'd rather fix divots in my spare time. If Rice had not been injured in '75, we would not have had to wait so long for our modern ws win. Same could be said about Coniglaro's injury in '67.

    These kids are certainly fun to watch but not even close at this point in time to matching Yaz/Rice - Lynn - Evans. Not close. Maybe someday - not yet.
  11. cp176
    Yes - yesterday even

    I can see why you might hesitate to spell out his name but I agree. You just never know. There are some questions that will need to be answered and he still might be in the mix. If you take the high road here - he literally works his ass off and comes back better than ever and he plays third base with Shaw moving over to first if Papi retires. Just like with these prospects, you never know. None of the predictors using everything they had to use would have predicted the upside we have seen in Shaw and Betts for sure. I assume that you know that by saying anything loosely interpreted as being positive about PS, you have waded into troubled waters.

    I've watched Hernandez play since he came to the Sox organization. Very few people have known much about him very similar to Shaw in that respect. I'm not nuts about him being at third base. He is a shortstop/second baseman. People who think that he winds up simply being a utility player I think are wrong. Unlike some of those that you have listed ahead of him, he is major league ready. He could wind up being included in a trade or he could someday wind up playing second base in Boston. I tend to get more excited about the Hernandez's, Shaw's, Travis's, and Bett's simply because they don't come carrying the baggage of being a can't miss prospect. They can all miss.
  14. cp176
    He was very close to playing at the major league level. Possibly even being a special player. He will be back and if he stays in the Sox organization, I think that he will force himself into their lineup.
  15. cp176
    I'm no advocate of players wasting bullets in the minors but I would not have been surprised if they had wanted to give E-Rod and his knee brace one more look before the call up.
  16. cp176
    Dojji - come on - you have been giving me the impression that you were alive during the 60's. Boston Celtics!!! End - early 70's - all Bruins. We just love our winners.
  17. cp176
    i'm impressed. it may seem so simple and common logic but it takes nuts to make the moves that have been made this year. I thought for sure that he would get one more start.
  18. cp176
    Slow start last night you think? He knows he hasn't pitched well and that he needs to hike em hike and get it done. I don't think he is quite done yet.
  19. cp176
    zero
  20. cp176
    Isn't that the way with prospects. Sometimes it just isn't the ones that collectively have the stats saying they are going to make it who actually make it. Mookie Betts, Travis Shaw and the beat goes on. I'm beating on a tired drum I know but unless they go big in a trade, I hope they keep the kids.
  21. cp176
    It isn't really something I would worry about but I would hope that they would be very careful before they give up any type of young power arm if it isn't for something that is really worthwhile in return. I'm not saying Light will be anything special but 101 on the gun doesn't come along everyday. As for Hernandez, I'm ok with being his booster. Rutledge, Marrero, etc. etc. etc. long before him.
  22. cp176
    Lower end prospects? Hernandez and Light - really. Both of these two guys are too young to give up for a rent a player. there would be quite a list of guys that are older and not really in a position to help the big club who could be moved before either of them. I also think that a trade is apt to come but it will be for a real player - maybe a pitcher and maybe not- and it will be costly in terms of good young prospects.
  23. cp176
    I'd trade Holt before Hernandez.
  24. cp176
    ty - old guy humor!
  25. cp176
    Maybe if he could just spread it out a little bit! Fast forward to inning number 2 possibly.
