    The Yanks would need a season were everything goes right to make the playoffs. Like the Sox had in 2013.

    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.

    Swihart watch is on already. The kid looks like the real deal.
  4. Behindenemylines
    Barnes have looked really good this spring.

    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.

    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!

    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.
  8. 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.
  9. Behindenemylines
    Its like the Sox got another number one draft pick. His size will probably move him to the outfield. To keep him away from the Spanks is just icing on the cake.

    I think Sox have a good chance at the AL East. Tampa post Madden era will struggle, Baltimore will take a step back, and age continues to be $pankees problem. I think Toronto will be the Sox biggest obstacle. If Sox are there in July BC will go out an get a front line pitcher. They will be around 90 wins and play meaningful games in September.
  11. Behindenemylines
    The Sox will be as good as their starting pitching. I still believe that BC will get an ace mid-season to support a competitive team. I'm not saying the Sox will make the playoffs, but they will be more competitive then the 2014 version. I think the AL East being wide open will help the Sox.
  12. Behindenemylines
    The Cards are one of the model franchises in the sport and are competitive year after year. The Cubs enter the season with a lot of youth which means a lot of things have to go right for them to be in contention come September. The Sox learned last year when you expect big things out of your younger players it doesn't always happen. Cubs with be an improved team this year, but will fall short of making the playoffs.

    Excited about the potential of Vazquez in 2015, and Swihart down the road. These guys are being compared to some of the best catchers in the last decade. Some are comparing Swihart to Posey. I've seen him play and he looks like the real deal.
  14. Behindenemylines
    Healthy Ramirez in 2015 will put up big numbers in Fenway. Can't wait until pitchers and catchers.
  15. Behindenemylines
    A lot depends who shows up. If the beginning of 2013 Buchholz and a healthy Masterson show up then the staff won't be as bad as some worry that it could be. Granted this team still needs an ace to make any playoff run.
  16. Behindenemylines
    H-O-F voting is flawed when a pitcher who dominated his era is left off some ballets. Congrats Pedro! Every time he toed the rubber it was an event.
  17. Behindenemylines
    If the FO was basing their decisions on the message boards then Lester would still be here. As much as I wanted Lester to stay, I think the offer made to Lester was fair. The Cubs had to over pay to get him.
  18. Behindenemylines
    If Sox offense is as productive as being predicted, then the staff as made up will allow them to compete in a weaker AL East where teams lack that dominate pitcher. If Masterson and Buchholz can return to what they were in 2013 the Sox staff should be good enough to allow them to compete in the AL East.
  19. Behindenemylines
    If healthy he would give the Sox a power arm in the pen. That is something they lack. I think he is one of those guys who hurt his arm when the Rangers tried to make him a starter. For the right price I would take a flyer on him.
  20. Behindenemylines
    The Sox will add another starter sometime during 2015. Right now the demands for any of the mentioned starters (Hamels, Zimmermann, etc.) are too high. I think Sox start season with the staff they have now, but by the July trading deadline they will acquire someone. They will be able to compete in AL East because of the flaws of all of the teams, but the need for a number will have to be filled if a run at the playoffs is going to happen.
  21. Behindenemylines
    With the Sox trading for Hanigan to be the lefty hitting backup to Vazquez it looks like the Sox are now set to wait for when Swihart is ready. When does anyone think we will see Swihart in Boston?
  22. Behindenemylines
    Remember a lot of those Giants teams had weak offenses. The Panda was asked to do more to help the Giants score. Plus this guy always comes up big in the post season.
  23. Behindenemylines
    I kind of figured that Miller had priced himself out of coming back to Boston, but the $pankees. Hopefully, it was the beard that gave him strength to pitch so well and without the beard he goes back to the starter Miller who struggled to throw strikes.
  24. Behindenemylines
    Papi is the reason why I think this works out for the Sox. Ramirez has a lot to prove and Papi will keep his head strait if he struggles a little.
  25. Behindenemylines
    Napoli's power bat at 1B. He is primed for a big year with the added protection.
