  1. I thought from Day One of the off-season that Montgomery was the better option than the mercurial Blake Snell. Montgomery was unspectacular, but was at least consistently good. Whereas Snell was either elite or average and never in between, and this was due to his frequent injuries...
  2. Well, if you’re on the front lines, you need to be comfortable…
  3. Dumpster diving? We got a first baseman who was an All Star less than 2 years ago. If people consider that dumpster diving, then they’re just inconsolable. Those are the people looking at the Sox 18-13 record solely focused on that 13. Now Breslow at least did the smart thing with scooper and made a trade rather than hoping his waiver claim went through. (No way it would have.)
  4. Unless you like Lester/Buchholz/Masterson
  5. He gave up on the wrong ones. Payamps? Good bye Littell? Seen enough Jacques? Gotta keeper! Ort?
  6. I was on the Gray Train...
  7. Those who can't do...
  8. Yep. Bloom’s inactions were his biggest problem. And why I was glad to see him go. Sad, too, because when he actually made moves, they occasionally turned out ok. Wilted Abreu, Nick Pivetta, Garrett Whitlock, Reese McGuire. His signature trade will always be a flop, but I don’t think he had a choice, and maybe he was right to turn down Brusdar Graterol…
  9. Saves time and money. Just cut out making the bomb and go right to the metal fragments…
  10. Nothing worked for Gedman…
  11. Also you walked right past the lucky thing. Any reason?
  12. Yeah but let’s see if they work out. Smith has been in decline for a while now. I’m not saying the Sox should have passed on him; I’m saying the jury is stop out…
  13. I honestly don’t remember what opportunities he had. I do get why he didn’t commit to any player under control for too long, since Casas was breaking down the door. And you gotta admit it is pretty lucky when a team DFAs a cheap .270 hitting former All Star (from only 2 years ago!) who just happened to play the position you found yourself most in need of due to injury…
  14. Everybody criticized Dwight Evans’ swing. But it worked for him!
  15. 7 DRS in the last 3 seasons. I’m surprised/shocked. Well, now I get to see first hand…
  16. Apparently the Sox acquired LHRP Bailey Horn last night. I missed that. This means a DFA coming to add Smith to the 40 man. Hamilton? Dalbec? Gutierrez? Heineman?
  17. Even 1b has shown to be a stretch…
  18. I’m not even sold that he is. Both hit roughly the same. Neither plays 1b very well. Franchy is the better defensive outfielder, but that doesn’t say much. Ummmmm …. Franchy is taller? It’s an uninspiring acquisition, but credit Breslow for doing what he can…
  19. Not true. Almonte can provide league average outfield defense…
  20. Yeah we needed lots of metal chairs in the European Theater…
  21. And it would be taxable!!
  22. Before you go glorifying those 1939 MLB scouts too much, bear in mind Williams was helped out by being born white…
  23. Well, I wouldn’t get too excited with my bullying. Is Dominic Smith really any better than Franchy Cordero?
  24. Red Sox acquired INF Zack Short from the Mets and are reportedly going to sign 1b Dom Smith once he opts out. So full 40 man with no new pitchers?
  25. You’ve been around mvp78 too long…
