    Between injuries and players not hitting the Sox are having a hard time scoring runs. Hopefully, Middlebrooks isn't to far away because this team lacks power. If Pedrioa is out any length of time who is the long terms solutions? Betts?
  2. Behindenemylines
    The AL East will be a true test for their starting pitching. It will quickly determine the strength or weaknesses of a staff. Starters, middlemen, or the back end of a bullpen. Plus you have a couple of older pitchers and one who did not pitch at all last year.
  3. Behindenemylines
    I was a little surprised with the length of the Cabrera contract. For the Tigers this will end up looking like Albert's Angel contract. He is a big guy and I can see him having injury issues moving forward. To me the Trout contract makes a little more sense. If this guy keeps putting the numbers up he is going to make a lot of $$$$$ during his career.

    It always seems that pitchers who have a start that they go beyond 120 pitches end up struggling in their next few starts. With the way bullpens are specialized most starters are only expected to go 6 or 7 innings and 100 pitches becomes the magic number when managers start watching pitchers effectiveness.
  5. Behindenemylines
    The Sox will come north pretty healthy. A lot of things went well for them last year. Hopefully, Sizemore is another one of those BC master signings like last season. If he gets hurt then the Sox have JBJ waiting in the wings. Not a lot of talk about Pierzykski this spring. I'm not worried about his bat, but his handling of the pitching staff.
  6. Behindenemylines
    Based on what I've heard this will get done eventually. I think its more about the years then the $$$ for the Sox. He goes out and pitches like an ace again the contract issue will solve itself.
  7. Behindenemylines
    It would be hard to move Carp. He put up decent numbers last year with limited ABs. I think he has proven that he can hit Righty pitching. What every happened with him taking balls at 3B? If that ever worked out it would make him even more valuable.
  8. Behindenemylines
    Hopefully, that means the Sox bullpen is loaded with arms and they elected to go with younger arms. Based on his spring numbers Cordero will find a job quickly.
  9. Behindenemylines
    What is the story with WMB and his contact experiment?
  10. Behindenemylines
    With winter hanging on its hard to believe that the start of the season is a week away. I think the Sox will compete in the east with the Rays and $panks. Still see the Tigers in the central even with the injury to Iggy (Makes the trade a little better for the Sox). I see the Rangers coming out of the west (A's starting staff has injury problems). The National League division winners: Nationals, Cards and Dodgers.
  11. Behindenemylines
    Sizemore and Victorino's health is an issue the Sox may have to deal with. I think you will see both Bradley and Brentz at some point during the season.
  12. Behindenemylines
    I have said it before, I think it would be a wise investment for the Sox. He would be the solid ace as the Sox start to work in the young arms to replace Lackey and Peavy over the next few years. If all of the young pitchers are successful then you have pieces that can be moved. Lester would be the foundation of the staff over the next few years.
  13. Behindenemylines
    I think it comes down to keeping Bradley or another bullpen arm on the opening day rooster. Everything you here it sounds like they want JBJ to play every day and that means at AAA. If I had to predict the roster that goes north: IF: Napoli, Pedroia, Bogaerts, WMB, Herrera (Won backup IF job) and Carp OF: Gomes, Nava, Sizemore, Victorino C: Pierzynski and Ross DH: Papi SP: Lester, Lackey, Doubront, Peavy and Buchholtz RP: Uehara, Mujica, Tazawa, Miller, Breslow, Capuano and (either Badenhop or Cordero)
  14. Behindenemylines
    Cecchini is looking pretty good this spring. He is not to far away. If WMB tanks who knows?
  15. Behindenemylines
    I think you will see a lot of the kids this season. The Sox got by last season with limited injuries so this season there is probably going to be a bigger need for help from AAA. Those prospects that are putting up good numbers will probably get a chance sometime this season.
  16. Behindenemylines
    Lester is durable, lefty, home grown and has a lot of success in the AL East. Based on his statement that he wants to stay in Boston and would take less to do so this extension will get done.
  17. Behindenemylines
    The old saying you can never have enough pitching is starting to take shape. First, Dempster shuts it down for 2014. Then Peavy forgets how to use a knife. If Peavy can't put his hand in his glove to field his position then that might open up the 5th spot for one of the kids.
  18. Behindenemylines
    MLB Network last night finished their count down of the greatest games ever, and Game 6 of the 1975 WS was number one. Even though the Sox would lose in 7, Game 6 is a historic moment not only in Sox history but baseball history.
  19. Behindenemylines
    Could be worse, the uniforms could have pin stripes.
  20. Behindenemylines
    What dynasty? The last New York dynasty was last century. They have only won one championship this century. The last time I looked you needed multiple championships in a short period of time to have a dynasty. Thus last century. I think he was smart because he sees the decline of the team and is getting out before the drought starts.
  21. Behindenemylines
    To the average Joe that makes nothing compared to the millions these guys make this looks stupid, but if he doesn't need the money and doesn't have the desire to pitch this is a classy move.
  22. Behindenemylines
    I rather they start the season with what they already have on the roster. No Drew or another starter. They now have some $$$$$ if they need to go fill a hole during the season.
  23. Behindenemylines
    If I'm the Sox FO I hold on to the money, and if you have to pick up a contract during the season you have the money to do it. The Sox still have five pitchers penciled in, and two or three ready at AAA. Dempster was probably the odd man out of the six starters they had heading into spring training. I kind of want to start the season with WMB at 3B and X at SS, so I don't want them to rush to get Drew.
  24. Behindenemylines
    Because all five teams play each other so often the teams that are the weak links of the division will quickly be found out and they will settle to the bottom of the division. I can see a three team race, but as much as they play each other there has to be losers.
  25. Behindenemylines
    WMB starts the season number 1 at 3B. If he falters the Sox have enough trading chips to make an upgrade at the hot corner. It would be great to have his power stick in the lineup hitting bombs.
