  1. Tonight's line up. What the heck? 1. Alex Verdugo (L) RF 2. Christian Vazquez ® C 3. Rafael Devers (L) 3B 4. Xander Bogaerts ® SS 5. Michael Chavis ® 1B 6. Bobby Dalbec ® DH 7. Jackie Bradley Jr. (L) CF 8. Jonathan Arauz (S) 2B 9. Jose Peraza ® LF
  2. The Sox have said that they're not calling Duran up. He's not ready.
  3. I agree. Still, it would be nice to get the #1 draft pick if we end up in last place.
  4. I'm fine with the Dodgers winning the WS, but I'm pulling for the underdogs.
  5. This is a reverse lock mojo game if there ever was one.
  6. Remy must have read your post. I have been stuck with the Nats broadcasts on local channels because they are blacked out on Extra Innings for me. Either way, I don't get the pregame either.
  7. LOL Exactly. At least we don't have to worry about ARod buying the team.
  8. Yeah, Peraza is not the problem with this team.
  9. Jacko is way off with his whole "massive rebuild" posts. He knows it. It's wishful thinking on his part.
  10. As if we didn't have enough reason to jump on the Padres bandwagon, Moreland gives us one more.
  11. I could not be a GM.
  12. Stop. FTR, I am 100% against trading Bogaerts. It makes no sense to trade one of the best shortstops in the game when we have him on a reasonable contract. In other words, we already have the great value player in Bogaerts.
  13. LOL I am on the other end of the spectrum, I suppose. I get too emotionally invested in our players and don't want to trade anyone. Oddly enough, I was completely on board with trading Mookie. Trading Moreland bothers me more than trading Mookie.
  14. I can't see any way this team is punting 2021. In my dream world, the Padres will decline Moreland's option and he will re-sign with the Sox for the same amount.
  15. IMO, you take the deal for the best players you can get, whether they are in a position of need or not. Same thing with drafting - draft the best players available rather than drafting players in positions of need. You can then trade from your areas of strength.
  16. Perhaps the Sox are showcasing Peraza. I'm guessing that Arauz will get more playing time once the deadline passes.
  17. Class player all the way. I am happy that Mitch will have the chance to contend for another championship. I think he'll have fun in San Diego. I wish him well also.
  18. I was hoping we would have Moreland for next year. Not just a professional bat, but a great clubhouse guy and a great veteran presence for our younger guys. I would have preferred to keep him. That said, I can't complain about the return. It's a good return for Moreland.
  19. Jacko tends to get a little overly excited sometimes. LOL
  20. Unfortunately, Manfred is likely going to screw the Sox over on their #1 or #2 pick by incorporating last year's results into his 'formula'. The Sox may not be picking until about 7, 8, or 9 based on what I've read. Also, stop with your massive rebuild talk.
  21. #PlayoffsAreACraphoot
  22. I'm assuming that you are applauding the Dodgers for their willingness to spend big and to sign Mookie to that enormous deal. Two things to also consider about that. 1. As much as they are willing to spend, they too, will not spend without limit. They reset their luxury tax penalty in 2018 (I believe) so that they would be better equipped financially to make such a deal. 2. The most important point. The Dodgers have a topped ranked farm system and have had one for about 10 years. You can accomplish so much more with a strong farm, including breaking the bank on a player like Mookie (even though I still would not have done it). However, Henry might have done it under the conditions that the Dodgers have. The Red Sox are in no such position, thanks to the 'win now' philosophy of the past few year.
  23. I am not disappointed with the Mookie trade at present. My point was that some people only consider the present and not the long term. I posted about the difference in WAR per salary, and Verdugo is the clear winner there. In the very short time that he has been here, Bloom has done a good job improving our long term vision. That said, it remains to be seen how he will keep us competitive in 2021.
  24. That's something. How many other teams can say that?
  25. It's like you're freaking Nostradamus or something.
