    I think Bloom will trade Paxton for the following reasons: 1. With so many teams in contention, there may not be very many sellers, so that’s where the market is. 2. Paxton has been good, is cheap, but is not controlled for next season 3. Let’s face it - the guy’s arm and shoulder are time bombs. And the timer is winding down…

    1. So it truly was bias/close-mindedness. A point for honesty, but deducting maximum points for obvious reasons 2. You do realize the Sox are winning again, right? 3. And if you “love being in the minority…” blah blah blah, that means you’re actually enjoying it when the team fails…

    The Sox will do the “buy and sell” dual approach. They will move Paxton and Duvall. They will acquire a SP with more years of control than Paxton. Likeliest trade bait - Ceddanne Rafaela, since Duran is making a strong case for CF. But if he can move another prospect instead. With Houck, Whitlock, Sale, Story, etc returning, this team could look very different from today in a couple weeks

    But I think you’re forgetting the most important thing about Wade Boggs - his role in the sci fi classic “Swamp Shark”!! Watch it on YouTube and you can learn that third base want the only thing Boggs lacked range at!!

    I liked in the Yankee night game, when a miked-up Hishagioka (sp?) kept calling him a “professional hitter”…

    I’m willing to let Duran play vs LHP; he’s not going to learn to hit LHP by sitting on the bench…

    With emphasis on the word “sir”. You can also emphasize “these” or “are.” But probably not “historical” and especially not “facts”…

    I understand he also invented the semi-colon. And it was him who put the “bomp” in the bomp-bah-bomp-bah-bomp. Also he was instrumental in putting the “ding” in the Rama-lama-ding-dong. But for that last one, I’d actually like to shake his hand; he made my baby fall in love with me…

    He’s incredibly stupid? He begs to differ!!!

    Is that where he coined the term Red Sox Nation?

    So beyond bias and/or close-mindedness, was that based on anything?

    Again - they did win tonight. And somehow this team actually wins more often than they lose…

    You do realize they’re winning, right?

    Ort hit the IL today…

    Two nights in a row the Sox score at least 5 runs with no XBH and the inning ends with Duvall striking out…

    Keeping the ball away from Thunder…

    If I didn’t write him off, I was extremely close…

    I do think more flagellating is a good thing…

    I lost a lot of faith in Cora after the way he handled Hill and Barnes last year. Hill was actually the Sox best SP, but was basically assigned a pitching partner for his games and was pulled very quickly several times. Barnes was the Sox worst RP but was given sole province for all extra inning games in the early parts. And was a huge factor in the Sox poor record in extra innings…

    It’s not about pitcher count. It’s about 40 man roster spots. Story and Chang will each require one. Reyes might clear waivers and accept assignment to Worcester. That’s probably the plan. Other than that, someone needs to get DFAd or bumped to the 60 day IL (Kluber?)
  22. notin
    Rotoworld does seem to indicate it isn’t serious…
  23. notin
    … except Story…
  24. notin
    I do think at least one MI has to go to get Chang back on the 40 man. And it isn’t going to be Kike or Arroyo. Who goes to activate Story will be a bigger move. Although at some point maybe they just move Kluber to the 60 day IL…
