  1. Does Bogaerts lose value if he is moved from short? I know defense is important at SS, but to have a great bat out of that position would be great. Is he projecting to be worse then Aviles with the defense. When haven't had someone like this in the system at SS since Nomar.
  2. Aceves threw a sh__ load of pitches the game before and gave up the farm. If Bailey was the closer before he got hurt, and is the closer of the future, why wait to see if he can handle the job in Boston. Aceves for the most part has pitch well in his two years here, but he is not a closer because when he is bad he is bad. He has 7 or 8 blown saves. Not winning anything when your closer does that. The role he had last year is perfect for him. He wants to pitch a lot which is great, but he is not a closer.
  3. From what I have read this morning it sounds like the days of 20-25 million dollars a year (long term) contracts are over for the Sox. They have not worked out in Boston. When a guy gets those $$$$ so much is expected of them. An when they can't live up to those expectations the fans and media are all over them. Sounds like BCher will build a team around youth and fill in with players that are financially low risk (Like Ross this year). If that is the plan then the next year or two could be bridge years until the Bradleys, Websters, Barnes, and Bogaerts become the new core.
  4. I don't know why I care any more about 2012. When do pitchers and catchers report.
  5. Here comes Mortensen. He is the last bullet.
  6. Mortensen must be lonely down in the bullpen. I think he is the only one left down there. If this goes to long some position player is going to have to pitch batting practice to the Royals.
  7. Just got in, and the last I heard the score was 9-3. I think some of these guys in the pen are gased. Who blew up tonight?
  8. The $pankees have more commited next year for the left side of the infield then the Sox do right now for the whole team. I'm sure if you look at commitments in salaries for next year right now the Sox are in the bottom third in the league.
  9. The Boston market will eat Greinke up. No proven track record in a large market. From what I've seen so far his numbers are not that great since the trade. Are you going to give a huge contract to someone that we don't know if he could survive the pressure of playing in Boston? Didn't we just trade someone (CC) that the same thing was said about him. I don't know what Shield's status is, but he at least has proven he can pitch in AL East. Who is the last major FA that has had a lot of success after signing a big contract in Boston? Is it Manny (Before he realized Manny being Manny was getting old and he wasn't getting away with sh__)?
  10. BV gets another year, but on a short leash. Based on what is taking place with the trades it looks like they are going to give him a real chance. Whether you like him or not, with all of the injuries and turmoil he was able to keep them a float until August. Didn't have the set lineup one game all season, Lester and Beckett terrible most of the season, and he had to come up with a bullpen after losing his closer in the spring.
  11. Let the Bailey era begin. Almost forgot what the lyrics of dirty water sounded like.
  12. There was talk about him playing some outfield this winter. He would make a great super utility guy in 2013. He makes something happen every game he is in. Can't teach speed!
  13. A couple thoughts on last night's game: 1. If the Angels find a way to make the playoffs and win the WS, the Sox should get WS shares 2. New stat for the Sox: come back loses (last night is what one looks like) 3. When is the last time the Sox won at home, I'm starting to forget the lyrics to Dirty Water When do pitchers and catchers report?
  14. Wilson hasn't won a game in his last ten starts, gives up 6 runs in the second, and still has a chance to be the winning pitcher. Good thing I don't live by any bridges.
  15. The Angels scored a touchdown and went for two. When do pitchers and catchers report?
  16. I could walk guys like that, and I would do it for a lot less money. The Sox takith, but givith right back. That was quick, there for a minute I thought someone took the 2012 Sox and replaced them with the 2007 version. I was wrong!
  17. The sad thing about it is that if Middlebrooks didn't get hurt Ciriaco probably is playing with PawSox and wouldn't see the show again until September.
  18. Scotty Pods is inching towards .400 with that two out hit.
  19. I like watching Ciriaco play. Nice way to start the DP. I hope they keep Punto locked in the closet the rest of 2012. Ciriaco does something good every game he is in there and deserves the PT.
  20. Never thought of it that way (66-85 since last September), but now I know what it feels like to be an Astros fan. The only difference is the Astros payroll isn't 180 million.
  21. I'm a diehard so I still had a little hope going into the Angels series, but stick a fork into the 2012 Sox because they are done. How many days till pitchers and catchers? (Computer acting up didn't think first response took, sorry)
  22. I'm a diehard so even going into the Angels series I had a faint glimmer of hope, but stick a fork into the 2012 Sox because they are done! How many days till pitchers and catchers?
  23. That is why you root for the name on the front of the jersey and not the one on the back. Very few players play their whole career in one city any more. They change teams like we change our underwear. If a favorite player of mind ends up on another team I end up not rooting for them, and if they end up on the $pankees they are dead to me. Being a Red Sox fan builds character because nothing is easy.
  24. Williams - Yaz - Rice were the great hall of fame starting left fielder for the Sox from 1939 to the late 1980s. When you saw the Sox you knew who was going to be in left (Minus the war years).
  25. If Bobby comes back on a short leash, then any of the coaches that are not talking to him need to be shown the door. They know who they are. A manager has to be able to pick his own coaches.
