  1. Reportedly Rice hated coming up the same year as Lynn and allegedly accused the Sox of holding him back a year until the white kid who could equal/overshadow him was ready...
  2. So players get old between 30 and 34? (wink wink)? Glad qwe could pin that down...
  3. His agent isn't going to struggle to find stats that support a massive paycheck...
  4. They don't extend them all. But if you could extend one and only one from Bradley, Bogaerts and Porcello, who would it be?
  5. Zobrist would be a massive waste of money and whatever it took to complete the deal. If Pedroia has health issues, the Sox get more time out of the guy replacing him now. Don't you all think Pedro's knee was a huge factor in re-signing Nunez?
  6. Does he really? I think too many people get caught up in some instances as if they know everything about them. We're all working with incomplete information. If you don't like players with any sort of questionable history, Chris Sale has a fat more checkered past than Pedroia. Is fake working out for you?
  7. I'm all for extending Bradley, never mind trading him. ..
  8. Given the Sox roster, Martinez should play LF add little as possible. And the team should absolutely not trade Bradley just to get JD into the outfield. Now if something useful can be had for Bradley, that could potentially be another situation altogether. ...
  9. A lot of could be rust. He signed late and missed a big chunk of spring training and since has pent most of the season as a DH....
  10. But he was choking a puppy when he said it...
  11. Chip Hale
  12. What about weather names? J.T. Snow Josh Fogg Chuck Rainey
  13. And it was also fodder for a very funny SNL sketch with Horatio Saenz as Zimmer...
  14. Hobson was one of the worst, along with Joe Kerrigan, who clearly found his niche in life as pitching coach. But a massively overrated manager might have been Don Zimmer, who forced the hand of upper management to trade away players he couldn't control. I know pitching was valued less than hitting in 1978, but how on Earth do you ever justify trading a starting pitcher for a utility infielder? The Bagwell/Anderson deal is one of the most overrated in Sox history, simply because dealing Lee for Stan Papi was the dumbest trade ever. Zimmer should have been fired instead....
  15. Cora has managed this team for 3 weeks. How is he even in the argument yet? He's managed this team for less time than Torey Lovullo...
  16. DD hasn't done anything wrong for the short term team, except maybe the Price contract. And that contract might have mad more sense if Price stayed healthy every year before he opt out. Even the Shaw/Thornburg trade made sense and looked like a "sell high" moment for Shaw. I did think Espinoza for Pomeranz was a bad idea, but I was clearly wrong about that one. I don't agree with some of his non-moves (as I have repeatedly stated), but there is no arguing with the way this team is going right now...
  17. The Sox traded Lowire to get Mark Melancon. The Sox then traded Melancon to get Brock Holt. Holt is 4 years younger than Lowrie, and until last year, was the better player. Lowrie is not the one that got away...
  18. There will be slumps and slow stretches. Making them worthy of being among the greatest teams of all time might be a bit premature. But I think I can say I haven't seen any team start like this since 1984...
  19. Why? Is there something about this team that needs changing? The Sox have scored the most runs in MLB, are hitting for the highest average in MLB, have the second lowest ERA in MLB, and have committed the fewest errors on MLB. Any reason for hindsight-based improvements?
  20. I liked the Crawford signing. The guy was coming off an MVP year. Hated the Sandoval signing from the first rumor...
  21. Steven Pearce, Pedro Alvarez, Yan Gomes, Anthony Desclafini
  22. Many of these players weren't actually drafted. A trickier exercise might be too find the best team of active players drafted by Boston, and it could include those who didn't sign (like, say, Brandon Belt)...
  23. I think the concerns are unfounded...
  24. Bryan Holaday to the rescue!!!
