    The Drew signing was because the FO doesn't expect to get anything from WMB the rest of this season. If the Sox are going to struggle this year I'd rather see Bogaerts at SS and Holt and Cecchini at third. Signing Drew might give them another trading chip though. SS are always high in demand and they maybe might get something for Drew at the deadline.

    I think the clock has struck midnight for this guy. A nice story last year, but a switch hitter that can't hit right handed ever and at all this year is not going to help the Sox offense this year. If you can get anything for him I would trade him.

    The Sox had no problem scoring runs last year and got decent enough pitching to do what they did. This year the lineup is full of holes and it seems the Sox only win when they get a good pitched game. Nap has been hurt, Pedrioa is playing hurt, WMB is hurt, Nava is a no show, Victorino has been hurt, Papi has been hurt, and the Sox lineup doesn't scare anyone.

    He has looked over matched by big league pitching.

    I agree Buchholtz has no value now. He has to come back and look like he can get a major league hitter out before you can get anything of value. I have a bad feeling though, this looks like another BARD happening right before our eyes. Much like Bard was one of the top set up guys in baseball before the wheels feel off, Buchholtz the beginning part of 2013 was one of the top SP in baseball. Is there anyone else that is feeling that?

    He could become a great bench player if he played the outfield. He looks like he belongs at the plate and the more positions he can play the better for him and the Sox. Super utility guy!

    With two wild cards there is always hope. If the wheels fall off though I want to see the youth play a lot the rest of 2014 to see what we have.
  8. Behindenemylines
    The best trades are the ones that have no chance of happening.

    The production from the outfield is a major problem. The only power is Gomes and he only plays against lefties. We have gotten little to nothing from Bradley, Sizemore, Nava and Victorino. I don't see anything in the system that will help. A power bat that plays the outfield is a major need, but what is available?

    It was the pitching that kept the Sox in it before the losing streak started. Now besides not hitting, they have stopped pitching. The bullpen that was very good early has been over used and now is starting to get pounded. The current state of the Sox is looking pretty bleak. I guess it starts with the starting pitching. They need to give the Sox length so the bullpen is not over taxed. This will return the Sox to the team we saw in the beginning of the season. The hitting, or I should say the lack of hitting, is a major concern. You have older players hurt or under performing, and younger players that are struggling.

    I think last year was the best you are going to see from Victorino. This is what happens to players that speed is what makes them productive players. The 39 million invested in him did bring a title. I like Victorino, but I think he is done.
  12. Behindenemylines
    Not for anything, but Bogaerts has started hitting the ball better after the Sox resigned Drew.
  13. Behindenemylines
    Amen !!!! They can not take last years title away. Last year is an example when everything went right, and this year is in reverse following "Murphy's Law". Because of last year this is a little easier to take. The one ray of hope is that the Jays are the only team in the AL East playing good ball and not bitten by the injury bug. If things continue to go south start playing the kids.

    Just think of the reaction if we hadn't won a championship in 86 years. Too early to be in PANIC MODE. I usually use July 4th as the date to judge what is working and what is not. Need to relax or you won't make it to September. It is a long season and as.
  15. Behindenemylines
    A Nava not hitting is worthless to the Sox. JBJ not hitting still gives you above defense in CF. I still think that once it warms up a lot of the Sox hitters will pick it up. JBJ included. He is not going to put up Ellsbury numbers this season, or maybe ever, but he still can hit enough to keep his glove on the field.
  16. Behindenemylines
    The $panks paid all of that $$$$$ for Ellsbury and are still only one game better then the Sox as of May 17. An as good of a start that Ellsbury has had he still can't pitch. The $panks have one starter that they know will give them a good outing every time out. The baseball season is so long that to be going into panic mode in May is just crazy. Lets see where things are at on July the 4th.
  17. Behindenemylines
    As long as the GB column doesn't go north of 5 games it is to early to panic. The AL East will be won by the team that can get their starting pitching right the quickest. The Sox have health on their side, as both the Rays and $panks starting pitching has been hit hard by injuries. An I would take the Sox rotation over the O's and the Jays any day.
  18. Behindenemylines
    As of May 17th the Sox are only 2 and a half games out of first in the AL East. Both the Rays and $panks have huge holes in their starting rotations and the O's and Jays SP is questionable. The Sox are one of three teams that have used only three starters so far this season. Both Buchholtz and Doubrount have looked okay at times. So I say stand pat, and as the weather improves as May turns to June I think the SP will be okay.
  19. Behindenemylines
    The Sox paid good $$$$$ for 2011 and 2012 getting nothing in return. Lackey should honor his contract.
  20. Behindenemylines
    Didn't Farrell win a championship his first year? He may have input in the decision making, but BC makes the final decisions. It is only the middle of May, the Sox are only 2 and a half out, the weather has been terrible this spring for the hitters, and looking what has happened to starting pitchers in the AL East I think it is way to early to panic. If the Sox SP stays healthy and the bats warm up as the weather gets better the Sox will be fine.
  21. Behindenemylines
    I hope this isn't the reason the Sox don't sign Lester. Owens is the real deal, but he is still a few years away. Lester is an ace for the next few seasons.
  22. Behindenemylines
    If the $pankees really thought this guy was the answer they would not have signed McCann long term. They would have done what the Sox did and sign a vet short term to hold the place. They will build him up to be the best thing since sliced cheese and trade him for other pieces like they did "Fat Boy" (Montero).
  23. Behindenemylines
    A lot of Tommy John's happening this spring. That is why you can never have enough pitching.
  24. Behindenemylines
    Holt has looked pretty good. If you could trust him to back up at short you would have to think about keeping him over Herrera. WMB has to come back and supply some power to a lineup that has lacked it. If he is not hitting homers he is no good to us.
  25. Behindenemylines
    He is one of many who is not hitting. The pitching has been pretty good, so that has to count for something. As far as walks, not going to see many. It is so opposite the Sox approach.
