I wouldn't have brought up his name last year or talked about him ever since if Travis was that old. Check out his bio. I think that you will be impressed. He is just starting to prove what people have been saying about him for a while. No brainer for me and Sam Travis. He might even be a star before it's all over. Shaw - I don't know- but if he winds up as our starting third baseman in April, we won't be any worse off. Could even be an upgrade.

I love guys like Shaw, Travis, and Hernandez. They deserve a shot whether it is with Boston or with someone else. No headline makers yet. No ridiculous signing bonuses. They go to work, they play hard. Soon enough this team is going to be loaded up with players that we will have a hard time finding fault with.

Been in Boston all day. Been waiting for your take on what you are seeing down there. Sounds like it will be time to cut Craig loose for good. Is he doing anything that would make him keepable here or would he just be cluttering things up? Good stuff with Sam Travis.

The game has changed at the NBA level dramatically. I was spoiled cheering for the celtics during all of their glory days. Many of their teams had 3 to 5 all-stars competing night in and night out.

Every time I hear or read stuff like this I want to start beating the "move him to third" Moncada drum. Also good to see my boy Hernandez playing and getting a good look. A utility player probably if he stays in Boston but the kid can play.

good to hear!

so - I am thinking fair and trying to be positive here. When talking about one of the wealthiest teams in baseball, I don't even like to use the word budget. They have thrown a lot around for awhile now. It's easy to look back and say that we didn't get what we wanted but doesn't do any good. I'll only be concerned when better players don't get the opportunities they should get because of the contracts going forward. If Sandoval and Ramirez produce both at the plate and in the field, no complaints at all but if they don't they need to be moved aside. Same goes for Castillo. In Porcello's case, I'm sure that he gets his chance as well. As an aside - I would love to see as many as these young players signed long term as we can. I grew up when part of this rabid loyalty was attributable to the fact that we saw the saw same players year in and year out. We grew with them. It is a great way to build your fan base.

Kopech broke his hand in altercation with a teammate - really. What's with this guy?
-
Third base might be the landing spot for Moncada if he keeps progressing. That is just my hope.
-
Remember Larry and the Doc? I actually can remember the night that Chamberlain thought about going after Cousy. We all understood why we Jim Luscotoff(sp) playing for our side.
-
All reports keep saying the same thing about Sam Travis - hitting machine. What do you think? Love to see a a spring training game with Shaw at third and Travis at first.
-
how about when McHale discouraged Rambis from driving to the basket against the C's!!!
-
ABA and Connie Hawkins. For people who never saw him play - just makes you understand how people can actually do the things they do.
-
I am cheering for him. I am actually cheering for both of them but if I had to bet, I would bet that Shaw will be at one of those corners before bunker hill day.
-
Your are right. Most people are willing to give the guy a chance. If he doesn't get it done, I just hope they make the change sooner as opposed to later. Shaw could still be the better player. Spring training in this case is very meaningful. he has to be able to field his position.
-
Just heard a report from a couple of local guys who have just come back from spring training. There has been quite a bit of positive stuff written about Hanley these days but not so much about Pablo. There take on things after watching them put in their work is that Sandoval works on all aspects of his game as much as anyone and actually looks good doing it.
-
If they get off to a bad start, I don't think that they will have to worry about trying to find anything other than that to politely ask him to leave. Don't think that rumors about his love life will have much of an impact one way or another. It's all about the winning and the losing.
-
and there it goes
-
Here i am actually watching some baseball again! Wright - ok let's go.
-
I would bet that somebody could dig some s*** up if they tried real hard. Maybe even if they didn't try real hard.
-
Must be another slow news day. I have a need to know things but not these things.
-
New York athletes and firearms. What's it all about? Looking at another Plaxico Burress. Keep him away from public places.
-
It is no big deal but how ironic that it happened to him and that it happened this early. Would have looked a little better if he had been lower.
-
guess they need to get the nets up
-
I agree with you. having compassion for others is very important the but here is that if the truth was known we probably all have stories that we could tell. I am a baseball fan . A Red Sox fan actually. I admit that when Sandoval was signed, i was excited. I had no idea what we were getting. He receives what $19 million per year? I don't know him thus I do not hate him but if they cut him today in order to give Shaw a shot, i would be very excited. I do not think that he deserves anything more than the 19 million per year that he negotiated. If he truly needs help, they should send him away for awhile to get the help he needs. If he comes back after making the effort to get well, great I say give him another shot. i want the best players to be on the field. If he is the best player than I will cheer for him. My right as a fan.
