    Watching the kids play is what is keeping the loyal Sox fans watching. Seeing the Betts, Bogaerts and Rodriguez play well gives you hope for the future. I don't mind the losing as much if you can see a rebuild with hope.
  2. Behindenemylines
    Many said Renteria would not survive in Boston. There is a big difference playing in Tampa then in Boston and we saw a never comfortable Crawford. Hanley was a DH that got hurt playing LF. An Panda shines in October and there will be no October this year.
  3. Behindenemylines
    I also would not mind seeing Price in Boston, but not at 30 million a year. Those large contracts are also a problem in the long term. There is no way players can live up to them. Price is the one top FA that DD knows. Cueto scares me because I could see him getting a big contract then have problems with injuries. I don't know if Greinke has what it takes to pitch in Boston. An Zimmermann probably is the least talented of the four. Those are top FA pitchers.

    This is the same thing we have been saying for the last few seasons.

    ERod will be in the mix for rotation spot. I can see Owens if he is still with the organization start at AAA and be one of the first to be called up. A true ace is still number one priority for DD. Followed by rebuilding the bullpen and figuring what to do with Hanley.
  6. Behindenemylines
    DD better fix this bullpen. The 2015 version has been painful to watch. How many games has the bullpen blown?
  7. Behindenemylines
    Similar to the FO going after DD when the Tigers let him go, when O'Brien became available he became the target.
  8. Behindenemylines
    Another double for Bradley today as he pitch hit. As happy as most are to see him hit, very surprised of the power. Its good to see.
  9. Behindenemylines
    FO has said once they figure out where each will play they will remain there both at home and on the road unless there are injuries. They are still weighing their options.
  10. Behindenemylines
    I would say no. His best pitch has been the change up. He has had a hard time controlling his fast ball and that is the reason his walks are up. That is a similar problem that Lester had when he came up. Owens personality based on what I've seen and heard is that he doesn't let things bother him. Of the two Rodriguez is your power arm.
  11. Behindenemylines
    FO hasn't decided on the positioning of the outfielders yet. I do think Castillo will end up in LF. The bottom line is its not a problem the Sox should worry about.
  12. Behindenemylines
    I think the more AB gets the higher his on base percentage will be. Betts leads the team in SBs and he hits a lot of doubles. I think he will grow into the lead off spot.
  13. Behindenemylines
    Word is Castillo has been taking balls in LF. Castillo in LF is a good move. Who plays CF between Betts and Bradley?
  14. Behindenemylines
    Porcello has to do what Miley did a good part of the season. Eat innings and keep the Sox in the game.
  15. Behindenemylines
    I think Panda is having a bad defensive season and can still play 3B, but HRam no longer can field. He is a DH! This first base thing you have to try to open up playing time for Castillo and Bradley. I still think the best move is to trade him to someone who needs a DH and eat a lot of $$$$$$$. Addition by subtraction.
  16. Behindenemylines
    Owens walks are a problem. Four more again last night. That change up is a keeper though. If you recall Lester when he first came up he had a high walk total. He doesn't throw hard , but he still has to control the fastball to be able to go deeper into the game.
  17. Behindenemylines
    The Cardinals seem to know when to move guys. Who could have seen Craig's ability to hit big league pitching disappear like it did. I think the Cards knew that Kelly was a starter trapped in a relievers body. The Sox can only hope that he continues to have strong outings the rest of 2015 and give them another chip to bring back an ace.
  18. Behindenemylines
    They probably thought with all the #$%$#$ that has been happening in August this wouldn't be at the top of the list for the nation to complain about.
  19. Behindenemylines
    I think he finally realized he needs to use the sinker more to be successful. He can not blow people away. He doesn't have to be the top of the rotation guy.
  20. Behindenemylines
    Looks like Buchholz is going to be shut down for the rest of 2015. Hard to trade him if he doesn't pitch and show he is healthy. My prediction is he goes into spring training with the team.
  21. Behindenemylines
    Man where they wrong that Ramirez could transition to LF. Any ball hit out there is an out waiting to turn into a run scoring hit. He is taking reps at 1B before tonights game, but I think he is a DH at this point and will be moved with the Sox eating big $$$$$$4.
  22. Behindenemylines
    Panda will not move to first, and Ramirez will take reps at 1B to see what happens. I think he is DH at this point and will be moved with the Sox eating big $$$$$$$. With Castillo - Betts - Bradley OF the Sox can invest dollars saved into their pitching. Can't see them moving Betts. DD had Price at Detroit which is a possibility. He is the only FA hitting 30 that Sox might spend on.
  23. Behindenemylines
    I can see this as a possible rotation for 2016. Both Buchholz and Miley have reasonable contracts and could be move though. I see number 1 guy, Porcello (Hard to move him with the contract), and Rodriguez as starters in 2016 rotation.
  24. Behindenemylines
    DD seeing if Ramirez can play first base. If he looks lost there then he will be moved to some team that needs a DH for 2016. The Sox will have to eat a lot of $$$$$ though.
  25. Behindenemylines
    I think DD has made it clear by what he hasn't said that Ramirez will not be your Sox LF in 2016 and the Sox will have a true ace. Word is Castillo gets some reps in LF during seasons final few weeks. Its funny that DD said he tried trading for JBJ and he made a run at Castillo when teams where biding on them. I think if you read between the lines DD's outfield may be Castillo - Betts - Bradley. Good D, not that expensive, and it looks like the O is coming around.
