  1. Fair enough. I suppose they are assuming that the people who frequent Sox Prospects would already know this information.
  2. Losing anyone close to you is hard enough. Losing a child, IMO, would be unbearable.
  3. No, you did not share too much information. I enjoy getting to know a little about the personal side of each poster here. I think I would be one who would want to return to normalcy as soon as possible, though I can understand those who want or need more time before returning to work. You have a great attitude about funerals. That's what they're supposed to be after all, aren't they? A celebration of one's life?
  4. In that case, it is somewhat interesting that Sox Prospects did not mention the PEDs suspension.
  5. Only because we already have our starting five and we are under financial constraints.
  6. Amen, Brother Bell.
  7. It's not an infatuation with ex Sox players. Clay is a very good pitcher. He has ace quality stuff. Yes, he has both physical and mental issues, but when he is right, he can be dominant. He is worth taking a chance on. If he could give us what he gave the DBacks last year, I'd be down with that.
  8. I may be wrong, but I just don't see Mookie offering any type of a home team discount. I'm not sure that he has ever said anything along the lines of really hoping he can stay in Boston for as long as possible? Base on what he has said, Mookie is going for the money, wherever that might take him.
  9. I think Sale is going to price himself right out of Boston. IMO, we should be prepared to let both Sale and Betts walk.
  10. Yes, that will be interesting. I hope that's not the case. I remember all too well our opening game last year against the Rays.
  11. Exactly. It will be interesting to see what happens with our 3 catcher situation.
  12. I can't imagine what it would feel like to lose a brother, and I hope that I don't have to find out anytime soon. It sounds like Swihart is one of those who wanted to continue playing and maintain as much 'normalcy' as possible. It also sounds like he found a great deal of comfort from his team. I think it would hit him really hard if he were DFA'd or traded at this time. I hope you're doing okay.
  13. IMO, unless there is a glaring hole, or a deal comes along that you just can't pass us, it is usually better to wait a few months into the season, then re-assess. Our team looks really good. Our bullpen might end up being surprisingly good. It might turn out that we need a SP or a 1B rather than a reliever. We'll have a better idea in July.
  14. I agree with this. I don't think that getting a large contract changes the way that a player plays or prepares to play. Most players take great pride in what they do.
  15. Maybe Clay will be a midseason Red Sox acquisition.
  16. I really find the idea of having Clay close intriguing.
  17. I think most of us recognized that he would likely get a major league contract with some team. All we were saying is that he would definitely be worth signing to a minor league deal. The fact that a team is willing to sign him to a major league deal makes the second sentence all that more valid.
  18. We have Cleveland right where we want them too.
  19. I certainly hope Chavis doesn't use again. I know the way that I feel when watching someone like Nelson Cruz beat us with a home run. All I can think is that he's a cheating bastid.
  20. I wonder if most sites mention PED suspensions in their write ups about their prospects.
  21. And now we will hear ad nauseam speculation about what kind of contract Mookie should get.
  22. Well saying that the deal is not really any bigger than Machado's does nothing for me. Machado's contract is insane too. I know I'm probably in the minority, but I am truly disheartened by these contracts. I thought GMs were wising up.
