I just can't turn my back on this guy. It may be selfishness.......... I want to see him patrol the outfield so much I hope the hitting turns around.........
Home runs are cool............ JBJ in the field is art....
The thing is I'd rather see the Sox stay away from any players that have "red flags" as far as motivation or personality. I'm not sure why we go there.
Like Perzinski......
I guess Aceves helped us out a bit. But in general........ why take the risk?
I had one random thought tonight explaining the Red Sox suckness to a Rangers fan........ who isn't all excited about seeing Nap flail away at their playoff run.....
I mentioned we traded Lester.......... and then I went into a rant about Lester was really incredible his contract year........... HIS CONTRACT YEAR!!!!!!!!
The chump upped the game for the contract year............ where was he the rest of the years.......?
If the rest of the rotation was strong it might have been an acceptable gamble. But when you are gambling on Buch and Kelly also, then I don't think it makes sense. It's too many gambles with a 200 mil team.
His stuff is junk............
I'm with the recent posters....... the rotation is bad........ really bad.......... and if someone decides to go with the same ******** next year then....... hello end of season at the halfway point...........
are hitting isn't the mega destructive force we thought it would be........... it's not NY power, or Toronto power...... that mediocre rotation stuff isn't Championship caliber....
the rotation needs assistance.........
The thing that blows my mind is we are not championship baseball in any way. Not defense, not offense, not pitching, not running, not heads up baseball, nothing about the Sox game is elite.......
The badass rivalry between the Yanks and the Sox may have gone to a simmer........... but I still rather see the Sox beat those dirtbags...
any little thing we can do to make it more difficult on those ass hats.......... I'm all for it........
Come on E-Rod..............
