    Based on the proposed trade between Guardians and Brewers, what would be a comparable trade value for Lucroy to the Sox? Can it be done with Sandy and slew of second tier prospects? Or do we have to throw in Swihart as a piece? He would be an upgrade for the Sox.

    Sox had the luxury of hitting Bradley 7-9 early in the year and driving in runs. Now there's a black hole in bottom of our batting order. By resting Papi, Sox trots out sub 200 guy in Hill, swing and miss king Brycee baby in left, bat .200 vs lefty hitter in Shaw, and bat singles hitter Hanley as DH. I don't care how many runs we score, we don't put fear in a pitch that Toronto hitters do. We need home run productions out of corner positions. Other than Betts, we are solely lacking in power department. If you have chance to improve the team, you do it. Aaron Hill simply has not earned the respect from his teammates. And I rather see a true outfielder than bunch of utility players disguising as an OF.

    nice effort in LF by Brock Holt...I just don't get the love fest with this guy......

    Nice effort by Brock Holt in LF....afraid of the wall?

    Look at our starting line up....this is what it will look like without Ortiz. If you don't think we need a power bat such as Encarnacion then we don't see the same game. Sandy will come down to earth. Shaw will still hit sub 200 vs lefties. Who plays left when Young is not in. Is he really the long term answer? Holt? Please. This is not a complete team. We haven't even started to talk about our pitching. What the hell did we see in Aaron Hill?

    Weak bat in LF and Sandy coming back down to earth will hurt the Sox. Hill is not hitting at all. Might as well give Shaw his bats vs left handed pitchers. What the hell is wrong with Boston? What's in the water? They all suck once they become a Sox.

    WTF.....6 men left on base by Bryceee baby..
  9. Nick
    Nice at bat there by Bryce baby....take a fast ball right down the middle, late on 2nd pitch and take 3rd strike as though he's going to get a benefit of doubt batting 8th.

    There is no way Sox would trade Moncada.
  11. Nick
    Pretty decent sized ball park......his low batting average allowed should give him an edge

    Moon, I'm not talking about a 2 month rental. My ultimate question is if you are the GM, and you have chance to acquire Chris Sale without giving up any major league talent, would you do it? If not, what's going to be different next year? Our window right now is 2-3 years with this group without extensions and FA signings. What would you be willing to give up knowing at least one of our top two, Moncada and Benintendi would be involved?
  13. Nick
    Certainly not Sale or Quinatana. Maybe someone better than Pomeranz, but probably not a pitcher that will give us a feeling that we have just become a major contender for the next 2-3 years. So we just hope and pray that we'd get different results with same starting pitchers? (don't get me wrong, I like the 5 we have now). Ortiz is gone. Isn't it DD's job to go win the World Series? Is he now going to take Ben's approach? Just asking.

    And lots of Benjamin Franklin to keep them together
  15. Nick
    Toronto is beating the Orioles....all 3 teams with same number of losses...a virtual tie....we need to keep winning.

    I wonder if there's a way to signal the strikes via 'beeping' directly into ump's ear? Umps would still be needed. They would simply slow down on their strike calls. On close calls, they can wait for the signal. The ump was awful last night.

    I disagree slightly. Baseball is one sport where you can put the best player in each position at any time. There's really no sharing of a ball as in basketball where 5 All Stars does not equal best team. I agree that we have pretty good talent but that's not to say that upgrades are out of question. Right now 1B, 2B, SS, CF, LF and DH are set. (Hanley is with us for 3 more years, Sox will not eat both Pablo and Hanley's contracts). Milwaukee catcher maybe someone that can be the gap to 2018 season for Swihart. Ideally Benintendi and Moncada are in the lineup for at least part of 2017 season. Hanley moves to DH and Shaw to 1B. Whole lot of tweaking is all we need. But will we have to make a big plunge to acquire a quality to of rotation pitcher? Is so, why wait?

    Boston Herald; The Red Sox have to wonder how they’ll do when Sandy Leon inevitably comes back to earth. He entered last night with four hits in his last 19 at-bats, but was still carrying a .386 average. Can Leon and Ryan Hanigan handle the load down the stretch? Christian Vazquez’ offense has been subpar and he’s now at Triple-A Pawtucket. But, in a postseason setting, a grip on the pitching staff is most important, and Vazquez is capable there if needed. “Pretty good,” Hazen said of the team’s catching situation. “I think the way Sandy’s played, being able to hit from both sides of the plate is a definite advantage. You know, (Hanigan’s) been solid. And we have (Vazquez) too, and hopefully getting (Blake) Swihart back at some point. I think we feel pretty good from a depth standpoint.” It appears Swihart and catching still may have a future.

    ANAHEIM, Calif — The Red Sox have been subtly introducing Yoan Moncada to the world outside of second base. Red Sox general manager Mike Hazen confirmed that the organization has been working Moncada at third base prior to Portland Sea Dogs’ road games, with the picture posted from @FlattsM on Twitter from Binghamton serving as the latest example. Hazen said the plan is to continue the pregame work at other positions other than second base, with a likelihood that the Red Sox will introduce outfield into the practice sessions in the near future. There is still the possibility Moncada will see game action at one of the alternate positions, although if/when a permanent switch is made it will likely take place in ernest during the offseason. With Double-A Portland, Moncada entered Friday hitting .270 with a .902 OPS.

    Take a chill pill....these are not well thought out comments...can we have some fun when the team is struggling?

    nice double play by Pedey.....he rocks
  22. Nick
    double play machine, Pedey.....another rally killer. 7, 8 and 9 gets one base and we score 1 run....Pedey sucks and I get to watch him for another 5 years...oh boy
  23. Nick
    This game should be 2-1 Sox, 3-1
  24. Nick
    never mind
