    The last week or so Holt has cooled a little. It is why he is not a regular.
  2. Behindenemylines
    He needs to hit the ground running now that he is finally in Boston. The Sox need an offensive spark.
  3. Behindenemylines
    Pitching is what needs to be stockpiled. The walks this staff gives up are killing them.
  4. Behindenemylines
    I know Farrell is on thin ice. The team is not playing good baseball.
  5. Behindenemylines
    On the positive, as bad as they have been they are only 4 1/2 games out.
  6. Behindenemylines
    Angels where struggling to score runs until last night. It is pretty hard to know what you are going to get from these guys on a night to night basis. Starting pitching needs to improve or the Sox will quickly sink to the bottom of a very weak division.

    Its something different every night. Last night Porcello looked great in the first three innings. Then all #@%$#@ hit the fan. Most nights you score 5 runs off Richards you have a chance to win the game. All parts of their game have been up and down. There is not one thing that are keeping them from winning. The only thing you can hang your hat on as no one in the division looks great right now.

    Farrell shacking up the lineup tonight. I know you are not going to win too many games when your cleanup hitter has zero RBIs in the month of May. As bad as things are they are only 4and a half games back of a Rays who everyone knows are not going to distance themselves from the pack. The AL East division winner may not win 90 games.

    Its the Phillies! Now do that this weekend against the $panks then we can talk.

    I think with power numbers down that the SB will become more important to teams. The SB is very disruptive to pitchers and to have a guy or two that can do that can only help a team. Hitters shouldn't mind because a distracted pitcher has a better chance of making a mistake.
  11. Behindenemylines
    You got to believe that the Sox think a better defense behind him will mean a lower ERA. I was a little surprised when I saw the Sox extended Porcello after reading so much about him going to FA and not negotiating during the season. From the Sox's perspective they are betting that Porcello is a top of the staff pitcher that will eat some innings. Plus the four years are prior to him turning 30. From Porcello's perspective he has to feel comfortable in Boston and may feel that with so many pitchers becoming FA at the end of the season he doesn't want to get lost in the crowd.
  12. Behindenemylines
    I was told during the off season he was your 2015 Cy Young winner. Lets stay healthy first. I don't know what we have because the guy can't stay on the field.
  13. Behindenemylines
    They still don't have the power arms that some bullpens have. I thought Barnes might be one, but he is starting season in AAA. I hope the Sox have enough in the pen, or this could be along season with a lot of high scoring games.
  14. Behindenemylines
    Sox need 2013 Victorino. If they get 2014 version then Castillo will get the job. I do think regardless what Victorino does this season it will be Castillo's job in 2016.
  15. Behindenemylines
    If Sox don't hit like everyone believes they will this could be a long season. The hope for the Sox would be some of the teams with #1 in their walk years get off to poor starts and look to trade these guys. Until then I hope the Sox get enough from these guys to stay in contention. I think the only one that is 100% up to the task is Porcello. I think he will get 15 to 17 wins. Unfortunely, the talk of him being one and done with the Sox are already starting.
  16. Behindenemylines
    I think at some point we see Swihart in 2015. Hanigan will be fine defensively, and they don't need much with his bat. I don't now much about Leon, but if these backups don't make the cut we could see a few until the Sox deem Swihart ready. If he comes up and takes off Vazquez may not get a shot to be the every day catcher in 2016.
  17. Behindenemylines
    I could see where Betts, Bradley, and Castillo could end up starting in the outfield for the Sox at some point during the 2015 season. Ramirez and Victorino will be on the DL at some point, or Papi could finally start showing his age and Ramirez would become the DH opening up LF. Unless Bradley is used to get a true #1 starter I would not sell low with him. His stroke has looked better this spring and his glove is priceless.
  18. Behindenemylines
    The Yanks would need a season were everything goes right to make the playoffs. Like the Sox had in 2013.
  19. Behindenemylines
    The old saying that you can never have enough pitching is the one stand by I like. To depend on one pitcher so much is problematic. More and more pitchers are falling to TJS. To put all of your eggs in one basket with a big contract on a single pitcher is a big risk.
  20. Behindenemylines
    Swihart watch is on already. The kid looks like the real deal.
  21. Behindenemylines
    Barnes have looked really good this spring.
  22. Behindenemylines
    The Yankees are kind of stuck between getting younger and having too many older players with big contracts. I think the Sox youth has a lot to do with that. The Yanks see that the pieces are in place that the Sox can be good for along time because of the infusion of youth. They probably feel if they don't start addressing that they will be behind the Sox for along time. That is why I was shocked that the Sox out bid the Yanks for Moncada.
  23. Behindenemylines
    I would hate to see it happen. The Sox not play at Fenway. You ask most Yankee fans and they will tell you that the new stadium doesn't have the old atmosphere. Even if it looks the same it never will be. All of the ghosts of the Yankee past that haunted the Sox for years all disappeared when they tore down the old stadium. Long live Fenway!
  24. Behindenemylines
    The Sox put a value on Lester and that was the highest they planned to go. The Cubs had to over spent to ensure getting him and that is what happened.
  25. Behindenemylines
    Probably the best thing in the long run. Getting more ABs at AAA. Betts is off to a good start and was going to win the CF job anyway.
