Well…..I have hope we might be picking 30th next year
-
When Bieber recovers he have just turned 30 with the talent to be a CY young candidate. Hill is…..over the hill. they’re not the same.

Add. Even if you could decipher the Sox budget from the last few years, on paper, they have the money to spend on pitching this offseason with seemingly no other holes. are they going to spend $60 million on a catcher? A SS? A 1B? Or a CFer? No need to, go get some pitching. I have my own budget. I can spend it on some tickets and a jersey, or I can go out and buy a nice new whiney pitch fork. balls in your court Mr. Henry

I get the line of thinking by some to offload some money. But I’m tired of curtailing my wishlist to the mindset of a mid market team. This is Boston, not Cleveland. I think we need to either trade prospect capital for an Ace, or buy one this winter. Preferably both. yoshida is fine, he keeps hitting he might be very tradeable by the next deadline when the outfield gets very tight. (Hopefully)
-
Because he got off to a slow start.

But that's just the thing. We should expect it, we should be dissapointed when it doesn't happen, and we should demand a front office that invests in the team. The only teams that constantly pull in more revenue and has a higher valuation is the Yankees and the Dodgers. We are right up there with the big boys. Letting guys like Betts, Bogaerts walk away, and not addressing the core needs of this team over a decade is not defensable. They have had the resources and ability to spend and be a sustainable winner AND make money. If the Sox aren't going after premium players, we should be upset. Or at least, I'm upset.

FWIW Bello has been great in the second half. Very encouraging after a rough year and considering he’s about 3 years younger than Houck and Crawford
-
I wouldn’t put those signings in the same stratosphere as Bieber. How does Beiber compare to Hill? only similarities are having surgery, people clamored for Eovaldi to come back and he’s had two. whats scares people off is the thought of the Red Sox doing that and only that. But if the Sox gave Beiber a 1-2 year deal AND signed Burnes or traded for an ACE, no one would be complaining about that. Or at least I don’t think they would.
-
Bieber type signings? like which ones? Paxton? Paxton worked out fine, might of really helped us if the team as a whole didn't suck last year. Also, nobody hates "Beiber" signings, they hate that the Sox do that and nothing else. They don't call it dumpster diving when it's not in lieu of something else. Kind of like when we traded for JBJ a few years ago? some of us here (myself included) loved it because we thought it predated another move....it did not. I'd love a Bieber signing, if it was also in conjunction with another real big move (like Burnes/Fried/Trade). There's a legit chance he comes back to a rotation as a TOTRS starter by mid year next year. If Houck is better conditioned, you could go into the post season with three aces next year. All while staying under the cap. I'll accept that position Mr. Henry.
-
Nah, I say go big or go home or drive John Henry out of town. They've never had less excuses than this year to not spend. They're competitive, they have a young core and a top farm system coming up to supplement the big leauge club and they have money off the books with money to spend. If they don't spend now, they should be tarred and feathered and chased down to Florida. Give me Burnes/Beiber. Burnes/Houck/Giolito/Bello/Crawford Depth: Criswell/preister/Fitts/Winck. Beiber comes back mid season. So your rotation down the stretch if healthy is Burnes/Beiber/Houck/Giolito/Bello. ***No prospects were harmed in the making of this roster.

If you think you need to trade Mayer now while his value is high because his injury risk depletes his value. If there's any validity to that argument then his value is already down. Other teams now what they're getting themselves into. I'd be lying if I was to say Im' not concerned with Mayers health, but I'm not super concerned either. As of right now it seems to be more conditioning than any real big physical problems. Could be due to never really spending time in a weight room. If that hasn't changed.....it really needs to.

my original was "a red sox fan named hugh" I'm very creative.
-
I wouldn't mind my accounts merged....maybe then I can be more than just a "verified member" I actually don't care. I just wanna talk baseball.
-
Nothing like a good old 5 game winning streak to crush your hopes and dreams. Really the whole second half has been uninspiring.
-
How ironic would it be for this game to go extra innings and delay the start of the evening game?
-
I don't blame you, but don't worry, we will post the good stuff on here.
-
But you're here, so there is that.

Alex Speier

No but last year he hit much better at Petco park than he did on the road, oddly enough.
-
A strong word, I was replying to a poster. But you know how it goes in here. It’s like one giant game of telephone down a rabbit hole.
-
What I was trying to do was dispel the myth that the Sox were unwilling to pay Bogaerts more than Story. In the end he just got a sweet ass deal from San Diego
-
Didn’t Xander already sign an extension?
-
If I remember correctly, didn’t Bogey say he would have accepted the Story contract? Which was less than 162/6? Was Xander lying?
