    the DH spot is open for Yoshida

    At this point, it doesn't matter what the Sox do...the AL might suck, but they gave up on 2025 already. Trade them all, who cares. Look what Crochet might get back??? Wow, what a haul...which would then continue the clown car too.

    Maybe should have tried to sign an actual power hitter when they had a chance in Schwarber WHO AT AGE 29 led MLB with 46 HR, 94 RBI because the Sox as usual didn't value a star power swinger..sure he had a bad season after that but even at .197 he had 47, 104, then 38, 104, and now 24, 55 with a .920 OPS...way to go Sox, go get Yoshida and Story!!!....idiots.. His average would be 25 points higher in Fenway.

    But let's just say that if the Sox want to "blow it up," it's blow up what? They have a s***** overall roster, pitching is mostly bad after one great SP and one great closer

    right, but Rice was a rookie in 1974 (came up for the last month) and Duran literally played his first full season as a regular in 2024...in MLB years, he is at age 5 overall--24 when he got his first ABs in 2021...completely different than a Devers, Rice, Lynn..guys who were already bashing balls for years before age 28. Duran is just becoming a true MLB player and he has All-Star on his resume.
  6. dannycater
    Exactly. This team is a joke because they have zero consistency in the lineup with guys who are in and out of lineup on still platoon basis no matter what. No star hitters left other than Bregman. Duran at least has the ability to do some good things at the plate and can run the bases even though he won't match 2024 or may never match that. But he's in the prime of his career starting now. So naturally trade him too.
  7. dannycater
    He led the AL in ABs, doubles, triples just last year. He's 28, I guess on the Sox that's over the hill.
  8. dannycater
    I thought Duran was part of the youth movement...so this is another example that maybe better off relying on veteran talent. Okay, duly noted.
  9. dannycater
    Rice crossed the line when he tried to impart wisdom to a Sox prospect on hitting. Shame on him, the Sox swing for the fences philosophy has paid off gang-busters.
  10. dannycater
    This team is an embarrassment...no lead is safe, no pitching performance is good enough, no offense, no defense....small market approach to winning. Bad team.
  11. dannycater
    MVP, good thoughts and keep up the fandom.

    I really stopped watching religiously several years ago. It is tough to watch, and it shouldn't be. It should be some super highs, great rallies, long win streaks or stretches, and feel of being super competitive. I think the first Verdugo season I enjoyed watching them battle. But when you have a .500 type team and it's a lineup of kids (when do they become viable hitters?) and utility guys. They wanted to trade Rafaela a month ago to open space and he's at least entertaining. Anyway, I do watch the mini highlights but I have taped a few games and erased them once I heard the score. Angels I usually actually attend a game, can't make myself drive an hour-and-a-half and would have had Devers still been a Sox.
  13. dannycater
    Maybe we should hijack the room. Ha.
  14. dannycater
    Probably a good time to start firing the staff--pitching coach and manager...Breslow's short time as GM could get shorter too. Cora lost the clubhouse, oh wait, did he ever have the clubhouse?
  15. dannycater
    Well, at least Devers isn't around as it might affect the clubhouse
  16. dannycater
    Ortiz did not back Manny, Pedro did...Ortiz was as selfish a player as any other during his Sox playing career....Ortiz was upset at Devers because I don't think he responded to some of his personal texts...Love Big Papi, but not going to say he doesn't flip-flop on things, and let's face it--still questions that he was on a list that indicated he used PEDs--he got a free pass when a few others did not.
  17. dannycater
    I'd say defense for whatever reason has slipped through the cracks in the shaping of the roster. How long can the Sox be one of the worst fielding teams in MLB. At same time, the flip side are injured pitchers, under-achieving veteran pitchers, then the mostly inconsistent offense. It's a lot to fix.
  18. dannycater
    It's all good as far as criticizing, praising, getting excited. I just get soured every time I think or feel like oh the team is moving in the right direction. How long can we keep talking about all these prospects at the AA/AAA level. It's like some come up, some look like can't misses, then are the opposite. Others get injured, others fizzle out enough to be moved to another organization. Some feel Henry should never be under scrutiny--I'd say then accept this mediocrity because to me this is mediocrity and has been that way like you said more or less for a number of years now.
  19. dannycater
    I cherry picked that the Giants just took 2 of 3 v. Sox...sorry I'll stop cherrypicking. Maybe I should stop cherry-picking that the Sox are a pedestrian 40-39 when the consensus pre-season was a lot better.
  20. dannycater
    "They’ve hit .194 in six games since trading Devers and averaged 3.16 runs. Defensive mistakes become magnified in that environment."...worrying about Devers defense was the problem or started the acrimony between player and organization. Sure seems like a lot of positions have defensive issues. I'd rather have a consistent RBI producer and his deficiencies over the utility clown car that exists now
  21. dannycater
    at least he is great in the clubhouse as that is more important than producing offensively
  22. dannycater
    Betts, Devers..you can try to replace them, but it ends up being too much spent for lesser production...but hey Henry and Breslow can do no wrong, so I'm sure when they sign the next 300 to 700 million player they will get us another Carl Crawford or maybe they will try to sign an "exotic" and get us another Yoshida.
  23. dannycater
    you're right, Henry owes us nothing, Kraft owes us nothing...hey I got a great idea, let's just give up on any criticism based on championships won already...nothing matters anymore...not the 2020s in SoxLand that's for sure...B's are heading this route too....GM are the geniuses and winning doesn't matter.
  24. dannycater
    Story's contract is perfectly fine with a lot of you I guess...he's a gamer...whatever
  25. dannycater
    I made a joke of Devers traded to open up the DH spot...I'm stunned you like that option. It's dumbing down your lineup. 18.6 mil is on Henry...that he is a Castillo failure means he needs to stay away from Boston, needs to basically go away. Not embraced to open up a lineup spot...god, people are literally so rose-colored glasses in here to the point where the party line is apparently gospel. Carry on.
