Yes, but I’ve seen 4 titles now. It’s not that I’m done, but I do want a reason to watch all season long every year. If the Sox lose in the postseason, I’m usually more bothered by the suddenness of the season ending than by the fact that there will be no parade...
-
He might take flak, but he unquestionably did it. It’s not like a Lucchino situation where everyone hates him for stuff they assume he did...
-
Nomar couldn’t stay healthy. He was a big name wrapped in bandages. Cabrera was allegedly a horrible human being whose skill at baseball was just not enough to eclipse his acts of selfishness...
-
Google is our all-knowing Dark Overlord...

Nomar was a walking tribute to OCD, no doubt. He was like a little nervous version of Robin Yount up there...
-
It’s not an apples to apples comparison if you compare aging Nomar to 26yo Betts. Before turning 29, Nomar was on an HOF fast track himself with numbers bearing a striking similarity to Robin Yount’s. I think there was a time when we also looked at Nomar as Red Sox Rushmore potential. But it just faded so fast with the injuries, and he fell so far. I wouldn’t separate the two by much. Nomar just had so many ungodly games, and I believe still has the team hitting streak record. Remember in the postseason Schourek game. Nomar’s HR off Bartolommeo Colon was the lead Schourek was protecting and Gordon couldn’t hold...

If you asked me that in 2003, I take the latter. But asking me now, I might consider the former. It’s close...

I haven’t seen anything...

Will Bloom do something tonight? The Rule 5 Draft is tomorrow. The Sox have 6 open spaces on their 40 man roster. The have plenty of room. It’s not uncommon to deal for players about this time of the other team cannot squeeze him or them on to their own 40. It’s how the Sox got Colten Brewer last year... The Padres and Rays both have quality prospects they have to leave unprotected. Will Bloom spring a deal?
-
Nomar is the cautionary tale for Betts. Certainly it doesn’t have to end the same way, but let’s not pretend Nomar wasn’t every bit of as special talent as Betts is, and how losing him really didn’t completely derail the team...
-
I just want them to be competitive. Nothing I hate more than watching the Sox play games in September knowing they’re hopelessly out of it (Yet I still watch.). Give me a reason to be excited through September, and I’ll crown it a successful season....

Maybe Google just thinks you’re boring

Buckner was an elite 1b...
-
See, this argument falls apart with Konerko, who was a classic case of “can really hit. Where do we play him?” He washed out at catcher, third base, and outfield before finally minimizing the damage he could do by playing 1b. And he’s not alone. Plenty of the 1b throughout MLB history play there because they can hit, but can’t field anywhere else (although some are just left-handed). Not every 1b is going to be a good one, but if JD plays the position for 10 games, how many wins will that actually cost the Sox? Well yes, but is it fair to already disparage JD’s play at 1b as “clunky”? C’mon. Even Jose Offerman could play 1b well...

No but he was also 30 then...

There’s probably a political board somewhere on tt his site

Ages 23-26 Betts: 30.6 fWAR Nomar 27.6 fWAR Not the biggest difference over a 4 year span...
-
Well, we don't know how the impact is perceived. It's also possible Bloom doesn't want the draft pick penalties...
-
No movement. It's like the last two offseasons all over again. As Roger Daltrey said, "Meet the new boss. Same as the old boss...."
-
Yes it was. Manfred issued a statement saying the techniques used were unable to determine legal from illegal supplements....
-
No one said the Sox were innocent. But that doesn't give any validity to random, discredited and unsupported accusations. It's no different than saying "The Yankees were using, so Mariano Rivera was a clear steroid cheat."
-
That "drop in the bucket" represents more money that the Sox received in the Direct TV deal. The savings will be less than the cost of promoting Rusney Castillo, yet he remains in the minors.
-
ARod confessed, which was a rarity and I give him credit for it. Giambi didn't confess per se, but he held a very cryptic press conference where he issued apologies after his grand jury testimony. He specifically denied saying what the apologies were for, but given that the testimony was related to steroid abuse, the link was obvious...
-
But that doesn't mean that random, unsupported or discredited accusations should be given more validity...
-
I'd go with the latter. Look how he dealt Archer (favorable contract, but a shadow of himself as a pitcher) and quickly improved his team by getting Meadows and Glasnow...
