As long as Pedey is hitting and getting on base I can live with the lineup the Sox have used over the last week. Betts continues to drive in runs.
-
Why? Sox need him to get a little more consistent closing down games.
-
With Young back JBJ can get some off days against tough lefties. I think the rest will do him some good as well. JBJ has done more then any of us could have hoped for. I'm not to worried about him. He probably is not a .300 hitter any way. He has had some big hits this season though.
-
I think the Pap ship has sailed. Kelly seems to be doing the job with the Paw Sox so he would be my first option for another arm in the pen.
-
He is the reason I became a Sox fan. Have a good one Yaz!
-
I think based on where they are at now with the issues they have had with their starters it would be a disappointment if they don't make the playoffs.

Sox Pitching Staff Discussion
Behindenemylines replied to jacksonianmarch's topic in Boston Red Sox Talk
On Sunday Owens walked to many because he is afraid of contact. If another AAA start is needed I would go Johnson as well. Hopefully, Wright is back and on track this weekend and E-Rod shortly after so another AAA start is not needed. -
I think the biggest issue with Farrell has been his use of the pen over the last few weeks. Tazawa is useless now and Abad has been very bad. A couple of the loses can go to Farrell continuing to use these two in high stress situations.
-
Kid has done everything to show that he belongs. Its good to see that the last place finishes didn't happen for nothing. The Sox outfield is both above average with their O and D.
-
It seams the Sox are having a lot of WTF moments that Farrell has his hands on. If the Sox miss out on the playoffs it could cost him his job. He is not DD's guy so it wouldn't take much. I mean using your best SP as a pitch runner and having get hurt is at the top of the list, but there are other WTF moments that make you shake your head.
-
As bad as the Sox have played since the All-Star break they are only 2 games out of first. It is there for the taking. All three AL East teams are flawed teams and is the reason why known of them will run away with the division. Sox get the pitching they have just as good of a shot as the other two.

If Wright is not right when he comes back it will probably cost the Sox a shot at the playoffs, and should cost Farrell his job. -
You could probably trade him, but would have to eat a lot of his contract and get next to nothing for him. I think it is the Sox only option. Can't see him at 3B or DH on the 2017 Sox.

Sox Pitching Staff Discussion

Sending Barnes out for a second inning I questioned that. If you do that you have to go get him after the first walk. The Sox really lucky last night with what Ziegler did. I don't get leaving Barnes in for three walks in his SECOND inning. -
It is at the point where Leon has proved that he is a threat now with the bat. He is the starter moving forward until proven otherwise. As far as Benintendi, he has not looked over matched. As long as he is the best option in LF he will get the playing time. Rotating Holt around to keep everyone fresh is what he is best at. Playing 3 or 4 times a week and he produces. Hopefully, the Sox finally learned their lesson with him.

Your premier keystone combination
Behindenemylines replied to dustcover's topic in Boston Red Sox Talk
Bogaerts has improved a lot though. It was only a couple of seasons ago that the Sox FO believed he was not the answer at SS. With his O he only needs to make the plays an every day short stop must make. Its kind of the opposite of what we were saying about JBJ. Because of his D he only needed to hit .250 and have an average OPS. -
Agree. Swihart's is greatest value to the Sox as a catcher. Leon is the starter until proven otherwise. Vazquez starts 2017 as backup and Swihart gets all of the reps at AAA. Swihart's ability to prove he is an everyday starter at catcher gives the Sox the most value.
-
Both X and JBJ have looked fatigue at the plate. That is where having Holt as a super sub will come in handy. That is why they call them the "Dog days of summer".
-
If he is traded it will be for some teams bad contract. Or the Sox would have to eat a lot of the contract. The Sox have a lot of younger players who make very little making the second option a possibility. Don't see room now that the Sox have Moncada playing 3B.
-
He is a gamer. The Muddy Chicken has played on two championship teams and has played hurt. He also took a home town discount to stay in Boston.
-
The AGE factor is a good point.
-
Like I said Benintendi became the best option in LF with all of the injuries and the Sox not getting a OF at the deadline.
-
I agree. Pedey is not the top hitter on this team, but when he is hitting the Sox win. His D is still gold glove. The Sox FO must feel the same as Moncada is now taking reps at 3B. Remember Pedey did move a pretty good hitter to the outfield (Betts). An that has worked out pretty good.

Swihart To Undergo Ankle Surgery
Behindenemylines replied to moonslav59's topic in Boston Red Sox Talk
Swihart might not ever become the every day catcher for the Sox, but I think he gives the Sox more value as a catcher. He becomes a bigger trading chip if he shows he can handle the position on an every day basis. -
The Sox made the right decision on Ellsbury. His contract has become a problem for the $panks. I know its a few years down the road, but do you give Bogaerts and/or Betts the big contracts that the Sox didn't give Ellsbury?
