    Currently they are stuck with Ramirez in left field. In another year , not so much. I understand him not wanting to transition to another position this year but not next. More tough decisions are going to have to be made. First base, third base, or dh but never again in left field.

    I don't think that they are that far away either. My wish list would include a proven top of the rotation starter for one. The heat would be off Porcello - who could become that 4 or 5 again - his comfort zone. I would also like to see them put 3 players in the outfield who can catch and throw on a regular basis.

    Since once again it does appear that their budget knows no restraint, I imagine it was a risk worth taking to lockup both Porcello and Miley. Wonder how Bucholtz feels about his contract right about now. Betts and Bogaerts and Rodriguez still make them a team worth watching.

    Come on Count - Give me some of your "quantifiable "evidence on this one.

    Come on Dracul, are you still chumming those waters. You are better than this. You have baffled many with your ********. This s*** with Porcello is your weakest yet. Crank it up a notch or try to be an actual human being for a little while.

    Might be right although he has been pitching better lately. I don't know how an early move up would affect him. A steady dose of Porcello, and Masterson is only going to last so long. The Red Sox have no issue when it comes to moving players from one position to another. Leon throws harder than Masterson - maybe he could pitch.

    I wouldn't call it a dilemma by any means but at some point you have to at least take a look at Johnson, Owens, and Wright once again. I don't think that Trey Ball is even in the conversation. It is a good problem to have I guess.

    Nice job for Owens last night. Buccholtz- Rodriguez-Johnson-Wright-Owens-

    Canadian Ace purchased in one gallon containers and Bohemium National were hardly drinkable but affordable back in the day. Used to have to worry about affordability a few years ago.

    They are young and they are showing great promise for sure. As the stakes get hire, and the players get better, we will have to see how they do. I really do wish that we had at least one very solid looking arm in the group of youngsters.
  11. cp176
    I think that you are right here. he gets a chance. If he hits for contact, he stands a chance of making it. Personally, I really hope that he does.
  12. cp176
    i'm thinking that if he stays quick which means he doesn't put on much weight at all, he becomes a fixture at ss for a long time. He has proven that he is a hard worker. Physically, I think that he needs to stay right where he is if he is going to stay at ss. I think that he is very good and secures that vital position for years to come. What ever power he comes up with is a big added bonus.

    This is one of the reasons I don't blame the Red Sox about being very tight lipped with respect to any player issues and concerns. The media will create news if they can't find a source that they trust. It is kind of like it being easier to say I'm sorry than to ask for permission after the fact.
  14. cp176
    They are very slow to do both of those two things. Admit mistakes and just move on.
  15. cp176
    JBJ !!! Great position - great footwork - number of outs don't matter- good game Sox
  16. cp176
    Possibly the best lineup is right. would have liked to have seen Rice in that World Series lineup. Might be saying the about the 75 sox if he had been.
  17. cp176
    I don't see any of our young future stars "tearing it up" at any level but I was glad to see the move for Margot and would like to see Devers get a bump up soon as well. I understand patience here. They are playing well but they are not ripping up the pitching that they are facing.
  18. cp176
    Oh baby am I well preserved.
  19. cp176
    the people constantly blatting about the talent of this team I think are wrong. young players will learn through experience. if your veteran players are just not very good then you probably will suffer for awhile. soon we will see for ourselves whether our minor league program is as good as advertised. Hope it is but i won't judge them until I see them perform for a while in the bigs.

    I think the Flood case was in the very early 70's. i also liked stability.
  21. cp176
    I am not saying that it was better. just different. It worked for me.
  22. cp176
    Guess I must be really old. Although even I can't question which decade was the greatest. I will say it again. It is absolutely unbelievable that they are this bad.
  23. cp176
    I was ok with 67. I really don't recall any discussion of the payroll size through the decades of the 70's and 80's. Not speaking for you or anyone else. I had much more fun back in the day. It is hard to imagine that with all of the supposed careful planning and the money spent that they would be this bad.

    Castillo sure looks good from a distance. Our management group looks like they get caught up in the eye candy. He will soon be 28. Maybe he is tradeable. Maybe they can convince somebody else that ehe will be the next superstar.
  25. cp176
    I don't know how it will work out for JbJ but after watching Castillo's all around play and Ramirez in the field, I would be very much in favor of putting him in the outfield and just leaving him alone for awhile. If he hits, what a premium that would be.
