    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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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 $$$$$$4.
  5. Behindenemylines
    Panda will not move to first, and Ramirez will take reps at 1B to see what happens. I think he is DH at this point and will be moved with the Sox eating big $$$$$$$. 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.

    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.
  7. 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 $$$$$ though.
  8. Behindenemylines
    I think DD has made it clear by what he hasn't said that Ramirez will not be your Sox LF in 2016 and the Sox will have a true ace. Word is Castillo gets some reps in LF during seasons final few weeks. Its funny that DD said he tried trading for JBJ and he made a run at Castillo when teams where biding on them. I think if you read between the lines DD's outfield may be Castillo - Betts - Bradley. Good D, not that expensive, and it looks like the O is coming around.
  9. Behindenemylines
    That's what I hear.
  10. Behindenemylines
    What is the latest on Vasquez and his recovery from TJ surgery?
  11. Behindenemylines
    Verlander was his ace in Detroit much like Lester was the Sox ace in 2014. DD invested $$$$$$ in Verlander and the Sox let Lester walk. Unless you catch lightning in the bottle to get a true ace it generally cost you big time $$$$$ or big time prospects. Then there is the luck that is needed that the investment pays off.
  12. Behindenemylines
    I agree. One of them has to be moved. If HRam was putting up better numbers you might be able to convince someone that need a power bat that he is your DH. Panda has never put up huge regular season numbers, he made his $$$$$ based on his October performance. I think Sox fans are down on him because of his poor D this year. He is getting older and I don't care what he says, the weight becomes more of an issue the older you get. I would revisit the Panda / Shields bad contract trade. Put Shields in the back half of the rotation and as a 4 or 5 he would be productive. Granted its a lot of $$$$$ for a 4 or 5, but its a lot of $$$$$ Panda is getting paid to be average.
  13. Behindenemylines
    DD is big on power arms and that is surely something the Sox bullpen lacks. If you have lock down 7-8-9 inning arms coming out of the pen that is a lot of pressure removed from the starters. Some teams collect power arms with the hope one or two become late inning lock downs. Granted part of this years bullpen problems was its over use because of a week rotation.
  14. Behindenemylines
    If you are going to blame Ben Cher for the three last place finishes you have to give him credit for the 2013 championship. That was his year when everything went right.
  15. Behindenemylines
    JBJ has to be in the 2016 outfield discussion unless he is part of a trade to bring back a true ace.
  16. Behindenemylines
    DD first move an easy one, releasing Masterson.
  17. Behindenemylines
    Finding that "Ace" is at the top of the list for DD. Price is in the conversation, but I can't see him in Boston. Second, DD needs to solve the HRam problem. Then the bullpen needs to be rebuilt.
  18. Behindenemylines
    That is the price he paid when not trading young players for a top of the rotation starter. There has to be a mix of using some of the chips in your system to repair holes on your major league club and keeping some to add youth to team.
  19. Behindenemylines
    He is a DH with a team that already has a DH for 2016. After finding a top of the rotation starter DD has to figure what the Sox are doing with Ramirez.
  20. Behindenemylines
    Another great catch last night. How could anyone want to see Ramirez in the OF instead of JBJ? If JBJ shows enough at the plate the rest of the way you can't move him unless it is in a deal to get a Sonny Gray. If you notice he is also starting to go the other way as last nights homer shows. Homers off of King Felix and Kulber are good signs for JBJ. He is just so smooth in the field!
  21. Behindenemylines
    New GM needs to be able to find pitching talent.
  22. Behindenemylines
    Ramirez can not be your LF in 2016. Dombrowski needs to move him or Sandival or both. After pitching these are the next to problems to solve.
  23. Behindenemylines
    Ben Cher didn't learn its THE PITCHING! The Sox have begun to hit to show that there is enough there for the Sox to be successful moving forward. This off season it has to be pitching - pitching - and more pitching.
  24. Behindenemylines
    Even if you blame Dombrowski for the Fielder signing, he was still able to move that contract. I hope he can do that with the Sandoval and/or Ramirez contracts.
  25. Behindenemylines
    Well put! This is why Ben Cher is looking for a new job this morning.
