    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.

    Okay....that works

    typical Holt season....down to .237 avg for July...I can't stand him....I'm sorry
  4. Nick
    i would walk JD to set up DP
  5. Nick
    Holt sucks....he should have taken 3rd strike....another slow white guy.
  6. 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.

    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.
  8. Nick
    What about that 5 year $95M to Sandoval? f*** DD.

    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.

    Pearce has certainly put Hanley in rear mirror for me. Just a good pick up. He's hit in AL East as he has now played for every AL East team. I hope Hanley takes some time off and return next year. He can play for someone. Just not for $22M.

    I love to see Sox give all those hard throwers in our minor league system chance to show what they got. Maybe one will surprise us. There appears to be no shortage of flame throwers. Can they throw strikes?
  12. Nick
    Yep I was one of those. But I never complain about being wrong. I didn't give him enough slack for not being 100%, Speaking of which, as players become more athletic, they seem to get hurt more. Moreland, Xander and Holt all played with injuries last year. And, Pedey obviously has been playing hurt since he was a baby. I'm a big JD fan but I had to chuckle 'little bit' (my apologies to JD) when Cora said he was banged up from all the foul balls off of his feet. I'm sure they hurt. I like this team. I don't have complaints. I hope they all get healthy come September.

    I always thought Moreland signing was a good one. With the signing, Sox had every starter back from last year's Division championship team. AND THAT'S HOW I JUDGE THE SIGNING. DD did the prudent thing. A 2-year, $13M deal was not a break the bank deal. Getting him signed was more important get than having to pay few extra millions. Keep in mind that JD was not a sure thing at the time. When JD was signed, I wrote that in retrospect, Moreland signing was very cheap because Hanley's vesting $ MAY go away. Basically we saved $9M by signing Moreland. Not a bad thing. And looks like Pearce signing will be much better than the 3B we picked up from Miwaukee (Hill?) last year?

    +1 +100 directing at our resident Yankee fan

    It's scary to think how good this team would be with fully healthy Pedroia and last year's version of Pom. Nunez and Devers gave us a lift last year. Pearce has been a good pick up so far. With him hitting, there's absolutely no discussion about Hanley. Still could use a solid set up guy. Screw the secondary penalty. Losing 10 spots and paying additional 42.5% on the OVERAGE? It's worth increasing the chance of winning the world series. ps. I would package 1st round pick every year for established major leaguer. Exhibit 1 Mookie Betts.

    We must have several millionaires on this board. Posters here have the uncanny ability to buy at the lowest point and sell at the highest point. Too bad DD has to work for his money because he can't see the future.
  17. Nick
    For once, Ben used $70M wisely.
  18. Nick
    The Fenway cops need to give both of them tickets for loitering around the mound. Maxbialystock I live to read good lines written by our posters.....
  19. Nick
    Not just for Sale but for all starters. Early conversation was not to push/over work them during Spring Training. That is what I meant. Sale is still much better pitcher than E Rod.
  20. Nick
    I do think ramping up slowly has been helpful. We'll have to see him August/Sept. He looked exhausted last year down the stretch. I also think he loves pitching in Boston. Big crowds. Competitive team. Same goes for JD Martinez. I think he's excited to be here. Some guys embrace it, others run away from it. BTW, Yankees got swept by the Rays. I don't have any stats in front of me, but the Rays have given Yankees fits over the past couple of years. Sometimes, you can throw out the record. We seem to have problems with the A's, no?
  21. Nick
    Yep..I've always liked Lin. Give the kid a shot and hopefully Pedroia will return for the final stretch.
  22. Nick
    One final word on Devers... We complain a lot about lack of development at the farm (sure starting pitching more so than position players). When a kid such as Devers come along management has to give him a long leash. At one point, rightfully or wrongfully, Sox decided Travis Shaw was NOT our future 3B nor 1B. Moon had great analysis on Shaw before the trade. I areed with him Moncada was given a quick look, long enough to convince DD that Devers was better AT 3B. (unknown to us). Moncada was blocked at 2B by Pedey. A big piece was needed to acquire Sale and there you go. We can all see that Devers is talented. He also has physical skills to be a pretty good 3B. Experience, playing time is needed. We have given mile long rope to JBJ. We can be patient with Devers. We have 5 Freakin' years of control after this year. Be happy.

    He's here just wanting to feel good about himself. I want to argue with my fellow Sox fans. We are family. He's an outsider butting into our dinner conversation. Nice to have him on holidays but not every Sunday.
  24. Nick
    There is not a single major league team that would take on Pedey's contract. We couldn't give him away. Name a team that's dumb enough to take on his contract.
  25. Nick
    We need a set up man.
