    i'm not really a band wagon jumper onner since I have been a fan since 1958, but got to say I'm beginning to like this Verdugo kid.

    This is a good post that relates to much more than a simple baseball game or two. Since the world of athletics certainly including baseball has turned more and more political, I have lost interest more and more in a game that I have always loved dearly. It is all ok though, it simply seems to just be the way life is these days.

    Houck deserves to be with the big club. His talent should be more important than whatever his options might be. Oh well, we all know it is about the budget right. lol Seriously, he has earned the right to be there.

    hmm not me and i'm pretty sure that there are many who do still think that having him in a Sox uni is a good thing.

    It is a reaction. In the meantime, I'll continue to try to do anything without some from of proper identification. lol

    You are absolutely right but on the other hand it is likely that these types of discussions aren't going to be avoided anywhere.
  7. cp176
    Are you suggesting that these two events are in any way related?
  8. cp176
    Are you positive about this? When you have compiled all available data, is it not positive that there is a slight chance that your statement taken in part might be negative?

    Well ok - my point is that he could not have been paid enough prior to as well as after the extension. I believe that any talk of what he earns is silly talk. He earned it and for those concerned about his future, I believe that he will continue to earn it.

    Chris Sale is one of the great pitchers of this current era. He has been and will be I believe will once again that good. Now I realize that you are all right about the Red Sox group led by John Henry being absolutely financially strapped for cash. Clearly we have fallen off the cliff and into the chasm of penney pitch city but I still believe that signing him will prove to be money well spent. Oh wait, it already has been.

    JD Martinez will be just fine.

    I'm not sure that it signifies a massive change of any kind just yet either. Personally I liked Benintendi much more as an amateur player than I did as a professional one (just my personal opinion) and I think that paying JBJ 12 million a year to hit what .240 (I also know that batting average means very little to most these days), would have been a big time overpay regardless of how many baseballs he was able to keep in the ballpark. Actually I think that losing a player like Jackie hurts as much in the character and overall attitude department as much as anywhere. He is one of the good guys.

    it has been very frustrating for me to watch the dismantling of this team in general for sure although I do understand a couple of the moves. Benintenid's glove in my estimation had nothing to do with why we might have kept him. he was decent but I think that it was about his bat not his glove. Although i will forever be a JBJ fan, I don't think that paying him 12 million per made any sense at all but I am glad that he did not suffer a cut in pay. Losing Betts is pathetic in my estimation. Now, if Duran continues to look like he has looked which is better than just about everybody else going forward, I would put him in center field and enjoy the show.

    i'm wondering if there were any other racist owners living during that time?
  15. cp176
    Evidently we now know who won't be roaming around out there in cf for the Sox when this season begins. JBJ of course was a favorite for many of us. Wish that he could have hit just a little bit better. looks like he will get the money he wants from someone else. Good for him and good luck to him. time to move on.
  16. cp176
    He does look good. Big and strong. Should be fun watching him progress.
  17. cp176
    Well there have been numerous changes for sure but all seem to be positive moves hopefully leading to the same goal. Sounds to me like there have been numerous good character signings. That works for me. I'll get to know them I think. We all might be surprised.

    i know right. In 1997, there weren't all that many automatically operated generators in people's homes. The quiet was only broken by the sound of the ice melting from the limbs of many of the birches most days. We survived it well and actually kind of enjoyed the break we got from pace of life.

    Our little family of four plus the dogs and cats lived in two of the rooms in our home neither of which smelled particularly good for 16 days without power. Not a problem for me actually. it was somewhat eerie. As quiet as I can ever remember.

    It's the cliff boss it's the cliff. Normally i would say that these types of discussions will end when the season begins but in this case, i don't know. Bloom deserves a chance of course but all of the accolades being heaped on him by some here are unearned. I wish that people would just wait until he actually does something significant before declaring him the chosen one. other than trying to save money for the big boss, his moves really haven't shown any particular finesse or shrewdness. Lastly, if he fails to do anything to significantly help this team, it can't be blamed on anyone else. That is what losers do. Losers balme others for what they cannot get done.

    I've moved on. None of the deals done to date this year give me the quivers.
  22. cp176
    It's not that I am enamored of his methodology so much, I just like to win. Or I actually should qualify that and say I like a team that keeps my interest level up throughout the summer months. I have never been a wait til next year kind of guy which does seem to be an attitude that I have seen here. Continued non stop bitching about what someone thinks someone else did in the past doesn't work for me.
  23. cp176
    That is what I am talking about notin and you know that I am serious.
  24. cp176
    I know right - I was trying to lighten the mood but in fact I brought up the name of the dark man from the past.
  25. cp176
    Thanks - I am among the ill informed. Currently I am not familiar with many of the recent signees.
