    We have the best OF with Betts, JBJ and Beni. Throw in JD as the 4th OF and it's a solid unit. This team has been truly amazing. I'm surprised when we lose. Thornburg pitching better of late is very encouraging news.

    Hanley $22M, Pom $8.5M, Kelly $3.825M, 9M increase in luxury tax......that should be enough to sign Kimbrel, Eovaldi and take care of arbitration increases. I like Eovaldi's stuff. Plus he'll balance out lefty/righty combo.

    yep, back end reliever is more critical than 2B on this team.

    I think I read somewhere Yankees are 11-11 vs Rays and Orioles, Sox maybe something like 17-6? Point being it is simply too difficult to project out how we'll do simply looking at the schedule. I always think we're much better than A's and the Twins but my gut say we've struggled against those two teams. I think Twins handle Sale better than anyone else. Just going off my fading memory. Rays play Yankees tough. By the way, nice pick up by Red Sox today. That ought to make Yankee fans pucker.

    It's time to address Joe Kelly issue. April/May, 25 2/3 innings, 10 hits, 6 walks, 1 run. June/July, 15 1/3 innings, 19 hits, 13 walks, 18 runs. His ERA is now 4.79, awful for a reliever. He needs to go on DL.

    Obviously it's still too early to assess trades made by DD exchanging youth for established veterans but my sense is we did not give up as much as many here think. I'll get back to you on DD era 'trading the future away' mantra.
  7. Nick
    DD is fortunate that Moreland has performed well, prior and post departure of Hanley. He has also diffused the Hanley DFA situation with Pearce addition. He has been a solid addition. We can play all three (JD, Pearce and Moreland) and rest JBJ. We have rid of $15.5M in 2019 ($22M less $6.5M for Morelnad) without missing a beat.

    That I agree with. But some are suggesting we sign 8-9 'quality' pitchers. Quality pitchers don't want to waste a year hoping for injury.
  9. Nick
    Yes, it's true that you can't ever have enough pitching. Yes, it's true that you want as many quality starting pitchers. But the Board is very naive to think that there are veteran pitchers out there that want to sign up with Red Sox in spring hoping for an injury to get an opportunity to pitch. What planet do you live in?

    Pretty funny

    What's changed for Mookie this year? Is it the JD Martinez factor? New approach? .362 is just sick. Despite missing several games, he's 2nd in majors in runs scored. He has more runs than games played. Who was the ******* that suggested Harper was almost as good? Never mind, that was me.
  12. Nick
    Where I was going was do our 1st two or three picks have any trade value today? What level player can we get for them? A mediocre reliever? A journeyman 2B? Or does that create too much negativity for future draftees?
  13. Nick
    Didn't know....thanks

    Just when E Rod seems to be coming around in terms of being efficient, this s*** happens. He can't catch a break. I had him moving up to #2 spot ahead of Porcello and Price. Ugh, ugh, ugh. Houston made a brilliant move last year acquiring J Verlander. One can always dream....
  15. Nick
    Too lazy to look it up.... Q for the board....how long do we have to retain a draftee before we can trade them? A year?
  16. Nick
    Pretty funny Moon.....good point though
  17. Nick
    I've been impressed with Brazier. I'd say try them all. We've seen enough of retreads. Holt continues his historical trend. Hitting .237 in July prior to today's game. He's replaced Pedey as the GIDP machine. How can a slap hitter take third strike twice in a game and one with runner on 3rd base? There's just something not right with his head. I hate his childish antics. What have you done for me lately? We need a real 2B for our stretch run. And it goes to show you how unpredictable relievers are. I would think twice about giving Kelly long term contract. Kimbrel is a sure thing as they come, everyone else? Forget it About It.
  18. Nick
    Okay....that works
  19. Nick
    typical Holt season....down to .237 avg for July...I can't stand him....I'm sorry
  20. Nick
    i would walk JD to set up DP
  21. Nick
    Holt sucks....he should have taken 3rd strike....another slow white guy.
  22. Nick
    Now that's the Holt I know......how did he take the 3rd strike with runner on 3rd in 1st inning? Hey but he's a good club house guy.
  23. Nick
    DD has not won a world series, just two division championships after two last place finishes. I was just going along with DD bashing on this board. f*** DD also for trading Babe Ruth. You KNOW that he would have done it if he was alive back then.
  24. Nick
    What about that 5 year $95M to Sandoval? f*** DD.
  25. Nick
    The luxury tax should have no impact on trade deadline plans for the Red Sox Pretty good read at Overthemonster.com When drafting dead last, does moving down 10 spot worth not going all in this year? Also the pool money shrinkage appears to be overblown.
