Holt is really good....lol

Pedy is going to get old fast.....no way his body will hold up until 2021

How expensive would it be to mount a camera on top of foul pole?

Good thing there were 2 outs, Pedy another DP ground ball.

Holt is over rated....he's just a decent utility guy. Just can't get over how Sox Nation goes nuts over a kid like him.

He'll probably get sent down by JF...JF loves Hanigan.

Does anyone have swing and miss stats for Sox versus opposing pitching?

We had chance to get out of 1st inning with 1 run but your favorite Sox Pedy didn't see 300lb Prince Fielder lumbering from 1st to 2nd. He sucks

Wake Up Dustin.....could have gotten out with just one run....he's been in fog

Well if you are going with mental cases why not just pay for Clay B's remaining salary and dump him too?

Whats it going to take to pry Hill away from Oakland for 2 months? A top 5-10 prospect? What do you think DD is thinking? Go all in for 2016? Or add reinforcements here and there (Hill as an example) and hope for the wildcard berth and shoot for the moon during playoffs? I just don't want to clear the minor league prospects deck just for a chance to make the playoffs.

Don't you think it would have been PR nightmare to fire a coach who has cancer?

Here comes Tommy........I bet he gives up 2 runs.

Hey Moon , how about a game of chess?

Matt Barnes sucks.

A team that's gambled on Castillo, Pablo, Craig and Hanley can certainly gamble on $13M for 2 1/2 years of SP contract.

He certainly does not deserve a separate thread.

Moon, we'll have total savings of $56M off of Ortiz, Clay B, Koji, Tazawa, Hanigan and Castillo. That should be enough to acquire a $15M DH bat, SP and a RP or two. Luxury tax limit should also go up from current $189M. I think we'll see Benintendi called up in September. He can platoon with Young,in 2017, no? It's like with our draft, we need under slotted guys and Benintendi is such a player for Sox for next few years. Where do we think we are this year? How much over the limit now that Castillo's contract came off the books?

We have a core group to move forward and be competitive for next few years....this is when they become free agents..we may not bat 100% but we'll retain few of them. C Vazquez 2020, C Swihart 2020/21 1B Hanley 2018 plus option year 2B Pedroia 2022 SS Xander 2019 (Sox will go all in on him) 3B Shaw 2021 LF Benintendi 2023 earliest CF Bradley 2020 RF Betts 2020 Hanley's contract for 2019 is vesting based on plate appearance over 2017/2018. Hanley's contract will be off the books regardless for 2020 season, 1st year of FA for Xander. That will free up $20M plus possibly Sandoval's $20M. I don't expect Price to opt out of his contract, for better or worse, he'll be on Sox staff for 7 years. Porcello has 3 years left and 2018/19 will determine if he'll wind up being a sought after pitcher. Predicting knuckle ball pitcher can be tricky at best, but as long as he's healthy, you'd think Wright will finish out with Sox as Wakefield did. I think he's a loyal guy and Sox will reciprocate. Rodriquez just need to get healthy and work on his secondary pitches and location. He's too young to give up on. He was rushed last year and again this year due to injury. He looks to have the toughness and I hope everyone has learned that you can't survive major league bats with just one pitch. Pitching coach needs to develop this guy or hire someone that can. We'll have Kimbrel for another two years if we want. Closers can be fickle and we'll have to see if he has it at the end of 2017. We need a power bat for 2017. Encarnacion will be coming off $10M contract. Someone also to keep an eye on is Josh Donaldson when he will be FA after 2017 season. Moon may disagree but we can afford a power bat and replace Ortiz' $16M contract. And we can pay for a high end pitcher. All resources at some point will need to be focused on top of the line starting pitcher. Swihart, Benintendi,Devers, Shaw and every single pitcher should be available for the trade. Obviously Moncada, Xander, Bradley Jr and Betts are untouchables. We can always find position players. It's the pitching that gets tricky, especially when you see we have nothing in Sox pipeline.

Yes but they are doing it with $50M less......$65M last year.

i'm trying to figure out why Buck Showalter is always laughing at us. I feel much better.

Bobby Jenks 2 yr $12M

Joel Hanrahan for 1 yr $7M

Edward Mujica for 2 yrs at $9.5M

Nothing like signing a prick AJ Pierzynski for $8,250,000
