  1. I still think the Dodger dump trade was one of the Red Sox alltime best trades, and yet it seems forgotten by those who just see the bad in Ben. (Note" there was a lot of bad to harp on, granted.)
  2. Another great win. Bogey's gonna be over .900 soon.
  3. Did I happen to mention how happy I am we have... Chris Freakin' Sale! He's the only pitcher in MLB to ever have 5 straight games with 11+ Ks and just 1 BB in all 5 starts.
  4. I've always felt like one huge bat in a line-up can help others do better, but I was never one to think it makes a major impact. Now, I'm questioning my own philosophy on that one. Cora has helped. Overall health has helped as many players were playing hurt last year. To me, I think adding JD has made the biggest difference.
  5. It's not so much what he ends up at- just hit .250 the rest of the way and into October
  6. Some day our luck will run out, but let's enjoy it while we can.
  7. Here is the July 1st soxprospects,com rankings: 1. Chavis 2. Mata 3. Houck 4. Casas 5. Groome 6. Beeks 7. Shawaryn 8. Ockimey 9. Chatham 10. Decker 11. D Hernandez 12. Dalbec 13. Scherff 14. D Diaz 15. A Flores 16. N Northcut 17. D Feltman 18. Lakins 19. Buttrey 20. Travis Biggest rise since April 5th: +21 K Crawford +20 Buttrey +17 Jerez +8 Chatham +7 Beeks & Flores Biggest fall: -15 Travis -13 Castellanos -12 Brannen -11 Raudes -8 Thompson -4 Groome
  8. Throw enough cash to stay under the max line, add Chavis and yes.
  9. It's been a while, but here is an update on the bottom of the order since the start of summer: Sox 56-203 (.276) 4-11 (7/10) 1-9 (7/9) 3-13 (7/8) 4-16 (7/7) 3-13 (7/6) 1-9 (7/4) w/pitcher hitting 3-11 (7/3) w/pitcher hitting 2-9 (7/2) w/pitcher hitting 0-9 (7/1) 4-15 (6/30) 0-9 (6/29) 4-9 (6/28) 6-12 (6/27) 5-12 (6/26) 4-8 (6/24) 1-10 (6/23) 6-15 (6/22) 5-13 (6/21)
  10. Bottom 2 in the order really coming through tonight. Good to see so many nice swings and hits. Man, they've knocked the wall back a few inches tonight!
  11. No, I meant the guy we get in a 2 or 3 for one trade should have a better chance at helping (not avoiding by himself) the cliff- not Dixon. Dixon might help, but he's a long shot.
  12. The O's will not take Ellsbury, unless the Yanks add another top prospect or young player.
  13. I hope the Yanks trade some of their best young talent for a guy they could just sign this winter.
  14. True. Koji's success was more than short-term, though. Speaking of luck, had HRam and Porcello had their 2016 season in 2015, Ben might still be here.
  15. Nunez starts about 2 out of 3 games at 2B. This isn't a big surprise.
  16. Yes, a year we finished last. A year some claim Ben gave us no chance at competing.
  17. I'm not sure. I just know a lot of baseball publications or shows thought we'd be competitive those years.
  18. The Sporting News projected the Sox would win the wild card in 2012.
  19. 2014 Bleacher Reports for 2014: 1. Boston Red Sox 2. Tampa Bay Rays 3. New York Yankees 4. Baltimore Orioles 5. Toronto Blue Jays The Boston Red Sox had a quiet winter but return the nucleus of a team that dominated the regular season and captured a World Series in October. A step back from excellence could occur, but not enough to knock this squad below the 90-win range. In a division without a truly great team, that could be a formula for a return trip to the postseason. Vegasinsider win projectiosn 88.5 TBR 87.5 BOS 83.5 NYY 80.5 BAL 77.5 TOR Fiverthirtyeight 90.0 BOS 89.5 TBR 85.5 NYY 81.6 BAL 77.4 TOR Clay Davenport 90 TBR 86 BOS 85 NYY 78 TOR 77 BAL
  20. Our farm is weak on upper level prospects, so trading 2 or 3 for an upgrade prospect or young player could help us avoid a cliff.
  21. I feel bad for Velazquez but hopeful our offense can carry us.
  22. Well, we could try to make a 2 for 1 trade some where to free up a slot, or maybe trade or DFA one of these guys Jerez Shepherd Cuevas Brasier
  23. What a shame. I've always had high hopes for Marco, but I guess he's just been snake-bitten.
  24. True, but he's been a little better since 2014: .269 vs LHPs but a very decent .346 OBP. Overall since 2014: .268/.343 More than decent. Interestingly, look at the OBP vs SLG since 2014L .486 SLG (36th rank). .343 OBP (86th rank)
