    Wonder where all the JBJ bashers have gone.
  2. moonslav59
    Looks like the bats have heated up nicely. Maybe Papi should consider sticking around another year.
  3. moonslav59
    That Bill Lee trade hurt a lot.
  4. moonslav59
    1) Pedro 2) The Dodger dump 3) Ortiz signing 4) Manny signing 5) VTek & Lowe

    The problem with trading for Trout is that you deplete the whole farm AND future budget flexibility. It's like the Kimbrel trade on steroids.

    I always had faith that JBJ would at least become an average offensive CF'er. I expected him to eventually be better than average, and I hope that this year is the year to show plus offense. With his defense, that makes him a huge plus. The fact that other GMs were asking for him shows just how most GMs look beyond recent BA when placing value on players. Some posters should take note.

    Not even sending Fisk a contract until a day too late was unforgivable. They could have at least traded him. They pretty much dumped everyone but Rice and Evans.

    I've been saying for years that we should get our young players some reps at new positions that are more likely not blocked, but I have to wonder if Swihart's trade value as a catcher is greater than his value to us in LF.

    My 16: 1.Sale of Babe Ruth 2. Tris Speaker for Sam Jones 3. Crawford signing 4. Curt Schilling and B Anderson for Mike Boddiker 5. Bagwell for Anderson 6. Lyle for Cater 7. Lynn & Renko for Tanana and Rudi 8. Bill Lee for Stan Papi 9. Cecil Cooper for G Scott & B Carbo 10. Pablo signing 11. G Scott, Lonborg & Others for Tommy Harper & others 12. Jamie Moyer for Darren Bragg 13. Dave Henderson for Randy Kutcher 14. Freddie Sanchez for Jeff Supan 15. Dice-K signing 16. Renteria signing (I think we ended up paying about $40M for that one year.) Others... Offerman? Matt Young? Steve Avery? The Brad Penny/John Smoltz tandem signing for the 2009 season? Lugo had a decent first year, but injuries turned his fielding from adequate to awful. The Manny trade brought us Jason Bay, who played well for us. We still have Brentz and Workman as comp picks for losing JBay, but that's not really much.

    Yeah, they'd insist on a Benintendi or Moncada addition. How about adding Kelly to my original offer. I'd hate to add JBJ, but I think that's who Cleveland wanted last winter.
  11. moonslav59
    I'd offer Swihart, Holt, Devers and two from Johnson, Owens, Kopech and TBall for Kluber.
  12. moonslav59
    Brentz and Coyle are DFA candidates.
  13. moonslav59
    I'd fast track Benintendi & Moncada. Take our time with Espinosa and Devers.
  14. moonslav59
    What a shame how we dismantled that great group of players.
  15. moonslav59
    Hard to forget: we traded Fred Lynn for Rudi and Tanana.
  16. moonslav59
    We let up 7 hits and 8 walks in 4 and a third innings to start the game, but allowed only 3 runs!
  17. moonslav59
    Maybe by June or July, we may see Moncada and Benintendi in Portland. I'd also like to see Chavis get to Salem and maybe Portland by year's end. Maybe Ockimey and Basabe to Salem at some point this year. Dubon to Portland. Stanki up to Pawtucket?

    Before the season started, many were pointing out all this team's weaknesses then projecting doom. I tried to show that the vast majority of teams, especially in the AL had way more weaknesses or "question marks" than we did. I thought our offense was pretty balanced, and so far the numbers are showing this to be the case. Thde whole "we can't handle 2 or more blackholes" is not materializing (so far). Players on the top 10 OPS teams with a .705+ OPS and 85+ PAs: 8 Pirates (all above .769) 8 Red Sox (.786 team OPS) 7 Mets 7 D'backs 6 Cards 6 Giants 6 Marlins 4 Cubs 3 Orioles
  19. moonslav59
    Tonight's line-up is the one I have suggested as the top 4: Betts-Bogey-Papi-Pedey (then HanRam 5th)...
  20. moonslav59
    I'm gonna try to get to Maine before the 4th, but it may be just afterwards. I can't stay long. I'll be gone by the 15th. On Shaw. This kid was my sleeper pick a few years back. I had high hopes for him. His minor league record was not impressive, so I rarely get my hopes up on guys with his AA and AAA numbers. I'm also not a big yahoo for small sample sizes, but I admit his sample size is getting big enough to start believing it could be legit.
  21. moonslav59
    On the BDC site, I campaigned for signing Headley over Pablo, but then again, I also said getting Valbuena would be better as well.
  22. moonslav59
    notin is one of the best posters you'll ever encounter. Welcome aboard!
  23. moonslav59
    Glad to see you here Crit. Maybe I'll see you in Maine around/after the 4th,
  24. moonslav59
    One of the biggest "what ifs" in recent Red Sox history is the idea that we could have traded Youk before his cliff dive and kept Beltre and/or VMart to play 3B and/or 1B.
  25. moonslav59
    Papi is living legend. Nobody has come closer to almost single-handedly carrying the Sox to championships. Many years ago, I started a thread on the old BDC site titled "Rumors of Papi's Demise Have Benn Greatly Exaggerated" and it took on a life of its own. Big Papi will always hold a big spot in my heart. I wish him the best, and yes, I'll hold out some hope that he may return in 2017.
