    I was referring to the 86 years before 2004. There was a lot of suffering for Sox fans. There where many born - lived - and died with out seeing a championship. Based on what the Sox have done in 2014 I take the 2013 as a gift from the baseball gods. Newer, or younger Sox fans have no clue about the suffering prior to 2004.

    I guess this is what happens when you have back to back days off during a baseball season.

    Pitchers have made the adjustment to him and he needs to make his adjustment. When he first came up he walked a lot. That isn't the case anymore. He needs to be more patient and take the walk if that is what the pitcher is giving him. I would be worried if he hadn't hit at all since he has been up to the show. That is not the case. Also, the hitting coach has been out with health issues and that has to have some effect on a young hitter trying to find himself.

    The further we get into the 2014 season the more you have to appreciate 2013. The Sox could sandwich a championship between last place finishes. Has that ever happened before?
  5. Behindenemylines
    Swihart is the catcher for the future, but if the Sox start bringing up youth then Vasquez gets a look here in 2014.
  6. Behindenemylines
    Looks like Nava is starting to hit the ball again. Could be another potential trading chip if the Sox completely fall out of it.

    I would let this season play out before making any long term decisions on Lackey. I think you take care of Lester first to archer your staff and then start looking at the rest of the staff. If the Sox fall out of it the kids will get a lot of opportunities during the second half so you will get a better idea of what they have.

    Most of these guys coming out of Cuba have been hits. Considering the lack of OFs in the system it wouldn't be wrong to take a long look at this guy.

    Yes, the 2013 Championship makes this season's losing easier to swallow. An you are also right that if the Sox lose 90 games and finish out of the playoffs the feelings of 2012 will start to return. The longer this season goes on it has become obvious that the 2013 Championship is one that the baseball gods gave us as payback for all of the years of suffering.
  10. Behindenemylines
    Buchholtz is a big question going forward. Do you keep him and hope he stays healthy and returns to the beginning of 2013 season form, or do you trade him and hope he doesn't. When on his stuff is nasty, but he is not getting any younger and if you think the young kids are the answer maybe you pull the trigger on the deal. This is a tough call.
  11. Behindenemylines
    This also opens up spots for the young arms a.k.a Workman, Dela Rosa, Ranaudo and Webster. If the Sox are what we have seen so far this year I rather see the kids pitching.
  12. Behindenemylines
    The Drew signing has been a major blunder. He has become another bat in the lineup that hasn't hit, and he sits against LP. Also since his return Bogaerts has struggled big time. X defense after a slow start was getting better before the no need signing.
  13. Behindenemylines
    I think the Phillies took a flyer on him?
  14. Behindenemylines
    Everything that could go right last year did, and everything that could go wrong this year has. The big difference between 2012 and this year is that the Sox have a lot of good young players in the high minors that are knocking on the door. If their fortunes don't change in the next few weeks I think we see the Sox being big sellers before the deadline and a lot of the young guys in the second half. Even though they are losing you don't have the same feeling as 2012. In 2012 there was no hope until the Punto trade. This year you look at the young pitching at AA, AAA and in Boston and there is hope. It does hurt to see a Red Sox team struggle to score runs. Then again scoring is down all over the league.
  15. Behindenemylines
    In order to get more then a bag of balls they have to get Peavy and Doubront pitching better. I think with so many teams still in the chase because of the extra wild card the closer we get to the deadline the more desperate teams get for SP. Peavy you can probably get a NL team to take him. Doubrount I think has more value because he is younger and a lefty. Need to get both pitching better to get any value though.
  16. Behindenemylines
    Betts in CF. Hopefully, he makes the transition to the OF without effecting his hitting.
  17. Behindenemylines
    Because of the shortage of power hitters WMB continues keep the Sox interest even though this guy can't stay on the field. It would be nice to see this guy succeed, but I don't know if it is in the cards.
  18. Behindenemylines
    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.
  19. Behindenemylines
    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.
  20. Behindenemylines
    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.
  21. Behindenemylines
    He has looked over matched by big league pitching.
  22. Behindenemylines
    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?
  23. Behindenemylines
    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!
  24. Behindenemylines
    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.
  25. Behindenemylines
    The best trades are the ones that have no chance of happening.
