    He has been one of the best fielding first basemen for a little while now. Anyone underrating him, has missed seeing him play.

    A good win . Hope it starts a trend!

    Went to a Seadogs game today. Great place to watch a game but couldn't see much help coming. Tejada at third maybe. Watched Mike Yastrezmski hit one out though.

    Spud - Come on. You have been one of the guys who talks baseball. All this other ******** is sickening. You also talk some real music!

    It was a great tirade! Manny no longer wears the collar of being the worst fielder to ever play in front of the monster.

    You're right it should be interesting. Bucholtz, Porcello, Miley, Rodriguez and a big ? Kelly to the pen for sure I hope. Wright has done a decent job. I just wonder what they are going to do with Johnson. Doesn't throw as hard as ER but his work at Pawtucket has been top of the charts. I think that he deserves a shot if he is healthy. It makes no sense at all to leave the guy who has had the best start of them all in the minors.

    No one would ever question that the addition of Ramirez's bat could be a bad move. Regardless of how or where he plays in the field, from an attitude perspective the move would always be questionable. When you sign someone who comes with baggage, if things don't work out, you are getting what you paid for. If the Hanley signing works out, good for him and us. If it doesn't, you also get exactly what you deserve.

    Butterfield is one hell of a worker and an excellent coach. He represents another scapegoat I'm afraid.
  9. cp176
    Do you truly think that adding Hanley Ramirez was a good thing? All things considered some of which do not directly relate to hitting a baseball? There is potential for a good team in the future but not so much right now I'm afraid.
  10. cp176
    Owens not so much these days. Johnson should get a chance.

    led Zep here we go! Kashmir

    It might be very painful but I think that if the pitching remains solid, it is fixable long term for sure. They have field payers who will go out and play hard everyday in the system. Might mean going young and suffering along the way as we grow but there is no excuse for quit. If we aren't going to hit, that means we have to defend. JBJ comes back. Stick him out there and leave him alone. Might mean giving Craig a little more than 2 to 3 games a week and a pinch hitters role. Castillo??? Ramirez??? Sandoval??? worked out well so far. I had rather lose with youth than watch these guys under achieve. Watching 21 and 22 year olds at least you can have some hope.

    I hope that the Red Sox front office did their due diligence with respect to the 2 field player acquisitions that were made this off season. Attitude and your overall approach to things counts for a lot. There is a lot more that goes in to a winner than being able to hit a baseball.

    The bright light in all this for me has been the day to day play of our shortstop. Everyone would like him to hit for more power. I get that but how many of us can question Bogaerts overall play at all. Don't look yet, but he is gradually becoming one of the best shortstops in baseball. Hitting close to .300 as well. An incredible turn around. Don't forget who he worked out with this winter - Pedroia

    A while back it was brought up that any good team must have a good mix of veterans and youth to be successful. Certainly that is stating the obvious but still true. I do not have faith in the leadership qualities of the veterans that makeup this team in general. Papi and Pedroia do provide some leadership. Napoli is a solid veteran. Never thought of him as a leader. If you think that Sandoval and Ramirez offer leadership, I guess we will have to disagree. 5 veterans in Farrell's office, 2 of whom I see as possible leaders. The coaching staff seems to be taking a beating here and maybe they should but I think that it is time for a heart check for the leaders on the field. We have a nice core of young players who could have bright futures if there is quality leadership to follow. If things don't turn around very soon, we will learn a great deal about the quality of the character of our so called leaders.

    He is just not very good. He is our third baseman for a while. We all need to have patience and learn to love him. we don't want him to get turned off by harsh New Englanders. ******** - he has the toughness of a toad. See ya!
  17. cp176
    nice pick - credit where credit is due
  18. cp176
    wow twice
  19. cp176
    wow
  20. cp176
    Owens goes tonight. Every game is a big game for these kids. Opportunities!
  21. cp176
    I'd trade that little s***. he costs us too many uniforms.
  22. cp176
    sorry about that . Didn't mean to post that crap twice. Already got my 1000 hits.
  23. cp176
    I thought so. He just confused me when gave the catcher that little kiss. He was just saying hello.
  24. cp176
    I thought so - he confused me when he gave the catcher a kiss.
  25. cp176
    I am really trying to be patient and tolerant with respect to Sandoval but he has tested me sorely. Infield in - he's on third - he is going on contact which I can live with. The little kiss he gave the catcher I found tough to take. I would never confuse him for two Pete Roses but either stand up and be tagged out or get after it. My analytic metric data summation on his toughness factor is about a 1 right now. A little toughness excuses a lot.
