    First, thats an exaggeration. He has a lifetime MLB .265 BA and a career 1.8 dWAR. Also, he was out of baseball for so long that its likely he would improve. Chris Young is a lifetime .235 hitter and isn't as good defensively. Castillo at least has a chance to be good with regular reps; we all know Young sucks.
  2. FredLynn
    I never understood why they picked up Young. I would have given Castillo a shot at the job. Right now at Pawtucket he is at .345/.820. Yet Young is still here.....
  3. FredLynn
    They can drop Young too
  4. FredLynn
    I realize that. We can stipulate that they can hit, overall. But their pitching is next to last in ERA in the league. Hard to win that way on a consistent basis, and their record shows it.
  5. FredLynn
    If Vasquez and JBJ don't step it up offensively they may be out of a job. Certainly they should.

    Hard to win when your pitching staff is surrendering over six runs a game OOPS...4.8 RPG

    Thanks Fuchholz
  8. FredLynn
    I agree. What's Zimmer doing ?
  9. FredLynn
    Not move him: release him. Next year its likely that Hanley will move to DH and Sam Travis will be ready to take over at 1B. Sandoval is useless; no one wants him. Thank you very much Ben Cherington. Henry is going to have to eat his contract. The issue is that unless he is on the DL he is taking up a roster spot, one we could be using for someone more functional. I am sure they tried to move him. Who would take him, even for free?
  10. FredLynn
    Travis Shaw now has a BA/OPS of .286/.841 in over 300 PAs. He has also played very good defense at 3B this year. Sandoval meanwhile can't even be examined by Dr Andrews because he is in so much pain. Yet he continues to occupy a place on the 25 man roster. How much longer do the Sox hold on to him? Even if he were healthy he there is really no place to put him. He is a 3B; we already have a better 3B and a backup 3B. Healthy or not, he is an appendix.

    XRay was negative
  12. FredLynn
    Clay can pitch. When he his healthy he can pitch very well. The issue with him has never been performance; its can he stay healthy for a whole season.

    So has Wright earned a spot in the rotation when Erod returns? His ERA now sits at 1.40 and he has gone 6.2 innings twice and 6 innings in his other start. Joe Kelly has an ERA of well over 9 and hasn't made it out of the fifth inning. Kelly has earned a demotion to the pen; Wright has earned a spot in the rotation.
  14. FredLynn
    That Kelly didn't think it was important to inform his manager that he may be injured. Perhaps Farrell is trying to get his team to toughen up...I don't know. I do know that Kelly should have felt compelled to tell his manager if he didn't feel right.
  15. FredLynn
    Farrell created an environment where Kelly didn't feel obliged to inform him that he was injured. This is an example of the culture John Farrell has made in the clubhouse.
  16. FredLynn
    I disagree about the "the players are playing hard" part, at least in part. The pitching has been horrendous, and I think another manager would be able to get more out of this staff, which on paper at least, is pretty good. And yes, Farrell is a horrible in game tactician. One of the worst.
  17. FredLynn
    Farrell has the personnel to win right now, but for whatever reason the players are not performing for him. Its time (past time, actually) to give someone else a chance. I do not think that Henry is going to accept mediocrity this year.
  18. FredLynn
    Too late
  19. FredLynn
    Time to get someone up in the pen
  20. FredLynn
    HRs in 6-1 games aren't as worrisome as ones in close games. He is just trying to make sure he doesn't walk anyone. Porcello is still throwing well....#2 SP stuff
  21. FredLynn
    Of course he knows. He knew Sandoval lost 20lbs for ST.
  22. FredLynn
    Rick Porcello current ERA: 3.63
  23. FredLynn
    As Kimmi said, this team is better than a .500 team, at least on paper, IMO. They do need a fire lit under them, and unfortunately for John Farrell, that means that he needs to be shown the door. Sooner rather than later.
  24. FredLynn
    They are not really going to pitch to this guy this time....Farrell strikes again.
  25. FredLynn
    Hard to win a game when you get one hit
