    If the Sox choose, which evidently they have, to retire the Wade Boggs' jersey , then that is fine. I am looking at the other numbers that have been retired in Boston, and quite honestly I don't see how Boggs fits with the rest of those guys. I accept that I probably see it differently but personally I am looking at other things in addition to statistical prowess when I see those other numbers up there. There are things that those others did or had that in my mind Boggs doesn't come close to achieving. A great player - a Hall of Famer for sure - but a player identified with Red Sox history in the future - hardly. If Boggs, then why not Bill Lee? Not El tiante or Dewey? You have go to be kidding right? Hey whatever right -

    Now it seems that 3 of our top 6 prospects are starting pitchers. Not sure how these changes and upgrades happen during the off season but still looks good. If the farm system is as good as some people think that it is then it looks pretty good for us. I choose to subscribe to the theory of show me don't tell me. I choose to not blindly believe it.

    DD I think is a realist. If he can make something happen, I think he will. He might not be able to but I think that he sees the issues that we have. He has been painted into a bit of a corner by the signings that came before he was hired. I'm sure that he sees it and would like to change a few things if he could. The farm is not the issue but last year's signings certainly present challenge. Given time, eliminate the wheat from the chaff and we will be in the driver's seat for a while. By chaff, I specifically mean Ramirez followed closely by Sandoval. They won't see their contracts reach an end in Boston.

    Not convinced that Bard was destined for greatness in any role. Would have had to have traded Middlebrows early in his first burst. They weren't that good.

    Hanley should never have been signed - Porcello should have had to earn the extension - fatso is just just just whatever

    it still is funny though. it has been an entertaining debate

    Has to at least be some sort of psychic connection at the very least.

    I'm telling you it gives people one more thing to blame Dombrowski for. Last year at this time we had lots of things to blast off about. DD comes in takes care of business and that is it.

    I like this one!!! need some laughs these days.

    i'm taking a shot with Brian Johnson this year. Before going down last year, he appeared poised to step into a starter's role. Nothing he has says top of the rotation but he does have a nasty curve and it looks like he knows how to pitch. He may very well become a very solid performer when he gets his chance which I think he will. If he gets packaged up in a trade, i take it all back!

    It sounds pretty much what it is like when somebody tries to call my house.
  12. cp176
    ty - It would be worth a try.
  13. cp176
    That is pretty much what I thought.

    Makes sense to me. In a case like this, I guess the owner or owners get to choose. This has really very little to do with anyone outside of the organization. It really does look like a massive PR move and if it works, good for them. It is their boat. We don't get to fill out a ballot. Like I said earlier, looking at the numbers that have been retired, Dwight Evans would go up long before Wade Boggs. We don't have to follow anybody elses concept of protocol on this one.
  15. cp176
    Nobody at any level and I mean any would be untouchable if the offer was good enough. It should take a minor King's ransom to pry any of those top 3 out of Boston though.
  16. cp176
    Just as an aside - i really don't care what numbers the Sox decide to retire but if it was going to be a day for Dwight Evans, I might actually want to be there.
  17. cp176
    Meant to say - I don't think the 2 go hand in hand.
  18. cp176
    There is absolutely no questioning the greatness of the player. Upon what criteria do you think current ownership relies on to determine the numbers that get retired? HOF/retired # - I did think the 2 always go hand in hand.
  19. cp176
    I'm hoping to be down there as well. The question being how easy is it to get in to see a game.
  20. cp176
    Knowing that everything we do must now be judged by the political correctness police, to say that we should honor Boggs in this way and not Clemens is ridiculous. I will pass on attending that game. Now if we are going to choose who we honor based on how respectful they have been to the organization and how loyal they have been to their supposed New England roots that is another thing.
  21. cp176
    Espinosa - Moncada - possibly Benintendi. Any combination of the boys they have left that would bring in a solid young arm - as in better than Porcello - would be a huge help going forward.

    I thought that I was the only one on here that felt that the Sox tend to show a "who gives a crap" attitude when it comes to actually budgeting. We do Ok but I would like to have the difference in these two contracts mailed in one lump sum to me. It might not seem like much but I could make do.
  23. cp176
    Will Margot Adams be attending? Wade Boggs was a great hitter and good third baseman for the Sox for quite a while. i'm ambivalent with respect to him being honored in Boston. But hey - I think that Rose should be in the HOF right along with him. Just goes to show what I know. not much

    I wonder if any of the players in the NFL play fantasy football for $? I don't really wonder.
  25. cp176
    It's all Dombrowski's fault.
