We the fans are focused Who is going to join the futures team with Devers, Wong, Casas, Duran, Rafaela and Abreu?
-
Everything I read from Atlanta papers was how bad he was at shortstop. Look I am NOT married to anyone. I don't care who takes control of 2B. At some point he has to produce or he should be sent down to work on his game. You have to give him a path to succeed.
-
We are the only team with a winning record not to be in the playoffs if the season ended last night. Really a good job by Cora and his staff directing this group. We can compete as long as our starting pitching stays effective. The biggest 'acquisition' would be the return of Casas.
-
Yes! Instead of focusing on the past (Betts, Xander, Sale) we should focus on the player we have in our organization. They ain't coming back.
-
Sale trade was made to get rid of the stench he was leaving in the dougout. It was the death stench. He can throw perfect games for Atlanta for all I care. He didn't earn his extension $$$$. Quit defending him. His stench was so bad we paid him $17M to leave the park.
-
I agree.
-
I'm happy watching our athletic trio in OF. We are building a contender the right way. Sale wouldn't be in my future plans.

Maximizing value - The Red Sox should sell high on Jarren Duran
Nick replied to StephenCurry30's topic in Boston Red Sox Talk
He is a 4 year arbitration guy. So the Sox has another 4 years of team control. He has improved his defense immensely. I believe the management loves his athleticism. He has shown he can play everyday. He may not be 'young' but having control of his 29-32 years mean he should be at the top of his game. I would not trade him. -
Sales' trade with White Sox was Freakin' good. His extension SUCKED.
-
Yes they have always thought of him as a starter
-
Cooper and Smith are hired guns. They won't be back next year. Like you said this is the year of discovery. Finding the core for next few years. I think Duran has punched the ticket. Grissom should get a long look.

5/18 Boston @ St. Louis 7:15 pm
Nick replied to moonslav59's topic in Mike Grace Memorial Game Thread Forum
Someone suggested we offer him QO. Unreal. -
We are 1-6 vs AL East. That is my best measuring stick. I just don't see things getting better when our starters have pitched above expectations and still has a losing record. Only open question for me right now is viability of Grissom.
-
Latest Whitlock setback has me in the category of "Whatever I don't give a damn".
-
I was saying 2 lefties and one righty works for me. Do you think I didn't know that Ref and Rafaela bats right?
-
I get the L-R balancing act. But I was thinking we could live with Duran/Rafaela/Abreu in the OF. My problem is can we find a ss better than Rafaela? Just not coumting on Story. He looks like Chris Sale injury wise. Not sure how dependable he will be going forward.
-
I would extend Duran and Abreu.
-
I agree. The season is not half over. He definitely has couple of holes in his swing. What idiot would give him a qualifying offer? Geez....let's get real.
-
I don't know about anyone else but our 1B tandem sucks. It's really bad when they both play. 0-8 coming up.
-
Hey I can only go by what I read.....I nelieve NESN followed up by saying his bat feels like a big lumber or something heavy due to weight loss.
-
We still have Whitlock as a starter. He's not a reliever until Breslow says so......Murphy and Walter doesn't get me excited at all. They are long relievers. I still see Pivetta on the trading block especially Whitlock comes back and Criswell is still pitching well. Who can he fetch for us? I'm not ready to commit 4 years for Pivetta. Maybe two.
-
I agree. My only point is at some point he has to show progress. He's good looking athlete for sure.
-
OPS for 2nd base is 15th in AL. 1B & SS is 9th and DH 11th. Grissom's OPS is .297. I think I'm more concerned that he is not at 'full strength' and he literally means it. He lost about 15 lbs when his debut was delayed with the flue. If we're still in contention by May 31st and he's not hitting any better, he maybe platooned. It's unfortunate but with Casas out we can't have too many more black holes. Perhaps OBP guru Meidroth who has 28 walks and 30 hits in AAA should be brought up.

My comment was in jest. Just relax... And I am Japanese.

I just have bad feeling about Yoshida. If he was a samurai, he'd volunteer to retire and return to play in Japan. Yoshida-son has failed and needs to save his family honor.
