I can't see DD not going all in for a big bat clean-up hitter. It is so clearly our weakest point.
-
You don't think we'd be up by 15, if we were leading the league in runs scored right now? Okay, maybe it was a bit hyperbolic, but we'd clearly have clinched by now. BTW, our run differential is now 139. If we scored enough to lead league in runs scored this year, we'd have to add about 80 runs (or actually take that away from those ahead of us) making our differential about + 220.

Funny how 3 starts ago, people were taking about him being our #2 or 3.
-
ERod's got his ERA below 4.00 now. He's gotta be our number 3 now. Game 1 Sale Game 2 Pom day off Game 3 ERod Game 4 Porcello/Price if up 2-1 or Sale (on 3 days rest) if down 2-1 day off Game 5 Sale (or Pom, if Sale was used in game 4)

If you're not going to go in hard, then just stop at 2nd. Plus, the play is in front of you.
-
Nobody expected that, even with the loss of Papi.
-
Agreed. Had we scored 100 less runs and the rest of the league wasn't going bananas, we'd be ahead by 15 games right now.
-
Yes, totally facetious. I'm the self appointed leader of the expose the excessive boneheadedness club.
-
ERod has the 3 slot locked up.
-
No, apparently this isn't "boneheadedness", it's aggressiveness that is encouraged by JF & Co.

The "M's"?

Countdown to the Playoffs - 2017 Edition
moonslav59 replied to Slasher9's topic in Boston Red Sox Talk
Nunez still out too. -
Haven't heard any talk on Justin Upton (as a DH). How about Porcello (2 years left) for 35 year old AGon ($21.5M/1 yr)? That would free up some money for Cobb.
-
Another 3rd out run into at 3B. Geesh!
-
We could do both.
-
Porcello and HRam as "bait?"
-
Gotta love the crooked number!
-
I've always been high on Wright- higher than most, and maybe my faith is unfounded, but he looks like he could be a nice depth next year.
-
According to Kimmi, giving up 1 low single A player would be an overpay, because any team could have had him for nothing by just claiming him off waivers.
-
Are these the only active players left from the 2007 team? Pedroia Lester Ellsbury Buccholz Moss
-
Yeah, that was bad.

Debunking the 3 year window myth -- the Red Sox in 2020

Yes, there is a physical involved in the vesting. -
Debunking the 3 year window myth -- the Red Sox in 2020

I didn't expect us to get anything of great value in return. I just wanted to dump salary. I do think some team would have taken HRam off our hands. He looked like a decent 1Bman. Maybe we'd have had to pay $2-5M a year as an offset, but I think we could have traded him. I cans ee why we didn't, and like I said, even I changed my mind and wanted to keep him. -
Last winter you did not think we needed Sale, yet now you think we need a quality starter. I'm a bit confused. I get how our confidence in Price and Porcello has fallen, but the opposite should be true of ERod and Pom. Plus, we should have Wright returning.
-
My top priorities are always to add an ace. I'm not sure how realistic that is this off season. We have Price returning, hopes that Porcello can get his act together (again) and Wright as a hopeful depth piece. This what I want: 1) A GREAT clean-up hitter (if he can play 1B- all the better) 2) A solid bench player like Nunez, since Pedey, HRam and no 4th OF'er are question marks in 2018. I would not seek a 2/3 starter. I'd add a couple guys like Fister as depth in hopes we can find someone like the 2017 Fister. I'd leave the pen untouched. Adding full seasons from Smith, Thornburg and Ross should enough.
