  1. If it helps him hit bombs when comes back I'm glad it happened. WMB's power is so needed for this lineup.
  2. Holt still looks like he has worked his way into the 2015 plans. A guy who can do what he has done this year is so important over the course of 162 games.
  3. It would only be fitting if the Sox eliminated the $panks from the playoffs during that series. Now that would be a great send off.
  4. Sizemore is getting some playing time in Philadelphia. It would have been nice if we got the old Grady this year. We needed the offense.
  5. At this point Miami would have to be so over whelmed to even think about trading Stanton. Marlins won't start thinking about dealing him until he gets closer to being a FA.
  6. Optimism ended with the three straight loses to the Jays this week. This team has no chance of making the playoffs so the thought process should be to prepare for 2015.
  7. Like a young pitcher he has been up and down. His stuff is great, but he has to be more consistent. He has the ability to be a solid middle of the rotation pitcher.
  8. If Lester walks the Sox will not be in the hunt for the playoffs in 2015. Lester leaving leaves the staff without an ace, and you no where he will end up signing which strengthens the enemy while it weakens the Sox. (5 years at 25 per)
  9. Giants were desperate for SP (Cain is injuried) and Peavy will give them innings. I guess the Sox have to be pleased what they got back. These are additional chips that they have to help the quick rebuild. They can deal from there surplus of young pitchers. They need a young right handed power hitting OF in the worse way though. Peavy pitches tonight, watch him throw a good game tonight.
  10. Why would the Sox take a big contract like the one Kemp has (Years and dollars)? He too is pushing 30 and has had a series of injuries over the past few seasons. If he is healthy he would probably beat the hell out of Fenway, but that is a big if.
  11. I think the Sox missed Victorino big time. Besides what he does on the field when he is healthy, he is great in the clubhouse (The anti-AJ). Lets hope he stays healthy for the rest of his contract.
  12. I think he prides himself on getting booed by the opposing team's fans. I think there were more guys on the Sox then not that had issues with him before the season even started. If they were winning it would not have been a problem. His personality doesn't mix well when a team is losing.
  13. Just based on things I have heard and read it doesn't look good that the Sox resign Lester. I hope I'm wrong, but I got a bad feeling. If he doesn't sign with the Sox, you know who is going to throw a ton of $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ (I believe they print their own money) at him. An it will kill me see that happen. If the Sox are saving all of this money with all of the younger players they surely will have some to pay for an ace of a staff. Lester's numbers show that he is durable and will be good for the 5 years. I think it would be a good investment.
  14. Either Holt or Lester were the first half MVP for the Sox. I think the Sox will use him as a super sub in 2015. He seems to have found it at the plate. Too bad it didn't happen sooner, and maybe the whole Drew signing could have been avoided.
  15. Unless the Sox come out of the All-Star break on fire they will be sellers and we will see a lot more of the younger players. Remember even if they do trade Uehara they could always bring him back next year. He is playing year to year at this stage in his career and might want to come back to Boston for a year.
  16. The Sox are high on Marrero (AAA) who is better defensively at SS, and is starting to hit the ball. Though he will never hit like Bogaerts if he is going to be a productive major league SS then you would have to think about a Bogaerts / Stanton trade. The Sox have no power bats in the OF, and known on the way. To say no is not right, you have at least think about it.
  17. The Wainright thing (grooving one for you know who) made me throw up a little bit in my mouth. He is a $pankee so the whole All-Star thing was a bit much.
  18. It amazing! He is playing every day, but at multiply positions. It has not effected his offense at all. He plays the game the right way. He will be on the 2015 roster.
  19. The youth movement will make the rest of the season more interesting. Plus you can take an inventory of what you have and what you need for 2015. If they make a run that would be great, but if they don't I want to see the young Sox.
  20. Maybe shorter years at higher dollars will get it done. The guy is big and has proven to be durable. I'm thinking it is going to take 24 mil per year (5/ $120). He will be 36 when it is done.
  21. I agree with everything said above. This stupid law suite is only going to bring more attention to taking a nap in the stands. The guy needs to laugh at this because it is funny.
  22. Don't see the Cards giving up Craig straight up for Peavy. If Peavy continues to pitch like he has the last few starts the Sox should be able to get something of value from a team that believes they need a back end of the rotation starter for a playoff push.
  23. If the guy can hit .250 he will be a very serviceable big league catcher. The pitchers love throwing to him, and he has a canon for an arm. If he does well the next year and a half it will be interesting what the Sox do when Swihart is ready. That kid can hit. An the rest of his game is improving.
  24. Stanton won't make it to be a FA. The Fish will trade him before he walks, and who ever gets him will give up a lot so they will sign him long term.
  25. I still can't see trading Lester. The last season and a half he has proven he can be the ace. You need an anchor for all of the young arms. I also can't see them trading Ortiz or Pedroia. Other then that I would listen to offers for any other veteran Sox. 2013 proved that in today's baseball world you can turn things around quickly.
