  1. Yes but none are guaranteed. If JD stays, Betts doesn’t get traded, Bradley gets tendered, Hernandez or Lin replaces Holt and Johnson or Chacin replaces Porcello, where are all these guaranteed changes? I think they should make a few big moves, but as I am not the GM, I can’t guarantee anything will happen...
  2. Usually there are two reasons a manager gets ripped. 1. Hindsight 2. Doing something the accuser would not have done.
  3. Like to see him go 5 innings right now. I’m not sure why they have him on such a short leash
  4. Other than hiring a GM? Which isn’t guaranteed either as the Sox could theoretically continue with the status quo...
  5. No idea. Just wondering if any team has had 4 players with 40 doubles...
  6. So Bogaerts and Devers are the first Sox teammates with 50 doubles. If Benintendi hits one more double, will the Sox be the first team ever with 4 players with 40 doubles?
  7. I have. But that was a long time ago...
  8. Depends on his price, I’d guess...
  9. Agreed.
  10. Wasn’t his first T.J. while still in Boston?
  11. Maybe I wasn’t;)
  12. So my own personal fact checker? Nice!! I must be moving up in the world.
  13. I don't think the entire team is goig to be broken down and sold off and all the coaches fired and stripped naked, painted purple, and released running wild in the streets, if that's what you mean. And there is no reason. The team is disappointing. But it's not a bad team. We're not one step above the Orioles here...
  14. Just like the last two
  15. Fire Notin!!
  16. It’s easy to be labeled the greatest manager ever when the hitters are all hitting and the pitchers are all pitching well and you don’t even have to manage much....
  17. Is it even a meltdown? This team never really got going. It’s been a season long funk
  18. So... business as usual?
  19. Not to mention, while this team is disappointing, that's really all it is. The Red Sox are not a 60 win team and shouldn't try to become one. Especially not if the benefit of doing so is getting a player who might help in 2023...
  20. See Castillo, Rusney...
  21. Oh that might be a verbatim quote. But DD certainly has some level of autonomy. Just no idea what it is if it exists....
  22. No benefit. Tanking might get you a better draft pick, but it's not like you can guarantee your way into a top 5 pick, and the Sox have too many topflight players who, while underperforming, still aren't horrible. And why would the Sox tank and waste another year of Bogaerts, Devers, and Benintendi? To get a better player who might not see MLB for 4 years? If the Sox want to rebuild the farm and get some cheap MLB help (which is relly the goal here), the best way is to do it via trade, where you can get players closer to MLB. The Sox have to figure out who their best trade candidates are and whether or not anything beneficial can be acquired for them. My thoughts are Betts and Barnes right now, although I am not really sure how much other teams think of Barnes at this point...
  23. It seems like a lot of those guys who make multiple appearances in the top 5 tend to be busts more frequently than you might think. Names like Corey Patterson and Jesus Montero being prime examples. (Although Joe Mauer and Jason Heyward worked out.)
  24. I love Buxton, but he is another one who simply cannot stay healthy. As it stands now, he might not even be ready to start the 2020 season. Buxton has only played 152 games in 2018 and 2019 combined, counting his minor league appearances...
  25. And in 2013, he only pitched in 8 games, which is why only 4 starts...
