  1. Marketing PR move. They thought he be ok and get by. They needed a third baseman with Middlebrooks being a bust . He was the sought after player, it cost BC his job, who I was NOT a fan of. I thought he was to scared to trade some prospects not all just some, he hoards to many of them. It turns out he was right. I'll man up . I was wrong... Plus to sell Panda masks, like they did when he was on SF. It backfired. It didn't work. I doubt it will.
  2. See this is getting off the subject. Ortiz is the best DH that ever lived. They will not be another Boston athlete, him, Brady, who I love as a Pat ( lol) Bird, Orr, and on we go.. But with David retiring, maybe you keep the DH spot open and use it ,to give other players a day off from the field. For example if XB needs a day off ,have him DH, if Mookie leg is banged up let him DH one game... Called keeping people fresh, a day off from the field might help out mentally. Can't do it this year of course. If David O doesn't retire and wants to come back( highly unlikely ) the plan is called off.
  3. Your right Son inc. I agree. But keep in mind he's not a DD signing. I doubt regardless who ever is the manager next year , they will pay him all that money to sit on the bench. Plus with a Young having one year left on his contract he hits on days a LHP is starting. They have Chris Young to play. I know they play different spots,3b/ LF , but it's about roster spots. He doesn't fit. He just doesn't fit on the 25 man. A real nice guy. But not a fit. I liked him in the SF days, not so much the Bo-sox days.
  4. What if YM starts raking in spring training. Do you take bats away from him. What do you do with Shaw. What if they sign a DH and want Hanley to play first. A shot, sure. Can't see him there for three years left of that contract. He can't play another position. He has bad knees to play first, no ladderell movement, no range. I know Napoli and HR have done it. I'd be surprised if he beat all those players i listed. The redsox want Moncada to be the third baseman . That's why they want him playing third base in the AZ fall league down there. Sort of like they did with Beni, moving him over to LF. His fielding is a work in progress, but he's learning. The same will be with YM.
  5. Arod retirement didn't last long, he will rejoin the Marlins after he clears waivers.. Jim Bowden Twitter. Boston sports radio reported it as well.
  6. Betts Altuve Donaldson Machado Trout As of now... Don't like to give pitchers the MVP. They have the CY for that.. Don't forget Fulmer he's sneaking up there.
  7. I was replying to 8/13 , 11:37 Dewey. On the Jim Leyland post.
  8. True. Very true. However Charlie Manuel beat Joe Maddon Rays in the WS. I would never call him a better manager than Maddon. Would you? Jim Leyland gained my respect when he stood up to Barry Bonds in spring training and let him have it. Trust me Bonds doesn't back down from anyone. He earned everyone's respect. I also know he gained BB respect. I'm not sure, you can help me out on this. But i thought BB resigned there, knowing that JL was going to be the manager. Not a 100% sure though. I thought he did.
  9. I was at the game today. I change my mind Mookie should never never leave the third spot. He's a great player. Those balls where hammered. The outs he makes are stung as well.
  10. I think they will move on from panda and eat the rest of the contract. He has no value IMO on this team. If YM who's playing winter ball in the AZ league and does what we all think he will do, They still have Shaw, Hanley could always go back there. Let's just say they ink Beltran to be the DH, unlikely but just say they do, the panda has no spot. He lost 15 pounds since his last at bat @ toronto which was game 5... Thats 3 Pounds a month. Sorry , still think he's not taking things serious. Just cut him and eat the dough. Plus do you really think his fielding will get better with a year off. I say no.
  11. It makes a little bit of difference when z pitches against righties.
  12. Z better step up. Just gets outs. Try to limit the damage... Unacceptable
  13. I like Barnes but he's trick or treat.
  14. Sweet. Highlight reel on that one. Good stuff.
  15. Eck is real good, but I like Remy.
  16. Holt slams one into the pen. Z and Kimbrel better not screw up when the phone rings.
  17. Stay up. I have no choice, a puppy to take care of lol
  18. XB over anxious. Needs to relax up there.
  19. Beni's on the loose. He's a keeper.
  20. Good hustle by Holt.
  21. Leon who would have thought. The dude was released by the Nats I thought . This came out of the blue.
  22. You could get a couple of mid level prospects.
  23. When Owens last pitched on a call up @ houston he was shelled, throwing 85. He doesn't fit. It was Elias or him, Johnson has has mental problems, not sure pitching in a pennant race is the best thing for him.
