Natick to NC

Why would any team not pitch Mitch slider after slider???! Man I hate this signing

Xanderrrrrrr is baaaaaaaack !!!!!!! That swing looks like he did a few years ago looooooove it !!!!

Johnson really looked confident his FB looks really good this year

Sorry JT JD ....lol yes abit twisted that night

This is what many here hope is exactly what happens ...love the high FB today he looked really confident .

Could we just stash him in AAA ? Please

Boone maybe the biggest Tool besides Arod to ever don that jumpsuit.zTruth is the guys a clown show he took wake deep in A pivotal playoff game in extras ...why ???? Ohh it was a grooved 70 mph pitch that hung ....I could have hit a triple there ...That clown will rub that team the wrong way guaranteed .Once they collapse by mid June it will be an absolute poo show .

Butt Hurt maybe ? Seemed to always sprain that .I do think he may have some left in the tank if not hurt .

Moon where did Lackey end up ? Can't find any info on him ? Think he would fit in great with this staff.

I'd keep Holt over marrero he clearly won the bench Job along with the Swiss Army knife .

I hope to all that's good in this world that we find a taker for gas can Kelly and promote a guy like this kid poyner

Got a different take on Hanley ...I hope he is so damn good he makes the All star team he vests ...because if we have "That" Hanram ? We have a World Series team without making moves at the midway .JT and "That" Hanram plus Devers ??? Plus a beefed up Benny ? A year of Blake instead of a dinged up Holt ? Mookie freaking Betts having a bounce back season inspired ???? Shhhhhhh oooooot folks just hand that Trophy over now .Not even including Nuney for an entire year ???? Yeah I'll take Hanley Vesting .

Redaox win 102 Yankees 95 ....Redsox defeat the Cubs in World Series .JT has 3 walk offs in playoffs Devers 1

Moon...I think he will take what they give him ...but would it not make more sense to get him major time at Catcher his natural position ??? I certainly think it's time but they want to make him a super utility???? Like I've said I'm at a loss about Mitch about Holt about Sandy about Pedey about Xander about JBJ ,Hanley ...I don't have any issues with Vaz ,Devers ,Mook,Benny ,Swihart , our new DH ...Why ? They are the future of this team in my opinion .Yes I think Swihart should be looked at this way also ...Xander and JBJ are going to demand a truck load of money that I would not pay up to this point .... We can disagree about a players future as much as present and even agree things are never cut and dry with any player. Holt has been a nice player so hasn't Sandy and Mitch I'm just ready for the future .

Maybe the best post I've read in many years on any Redsox ,Patriots ,Bruins boards ...why ? Well you cut right to the chase putting it right in our faces that the truth is we are lacking in areas many seem to think are strengths ...I appreciate you're take on Swihart the most because frankly I feel the exact same as you ...his future should be at Catcher and yes if Vaz falters hes our Starter .

21 st ?????? With Leon yup ... Play Swi and we are in the low teens within a month .Sandy will have his what 630 ops and what 5 HR ....? Blake can match those numbers in a slump .The Yankees ,Houston ,Cubs have to be in the top 5 ...Don't have to look ...We have to be better at Catcher ...we cannot afford a non productive at bats with who we are chasing down .

.....I have to jump in here ...Does anyone remotely remember the situation that put him in LF ??? Does anyone remember how they screwed Bard up not long before ??? I'm sorry but they screwed the pooch with Bard first and then Swihart ...Both these players should be part of this team .The facts are facts this team specifically developing pitchers has been a train wreck ..Then developing a power bat ???Bryce finally develops and they leave him off the playoff roster last year ??? I have hated some decisions this team has made recently ....Mitch ??? Holt ??? What the hell have they done to our shortstops bat ??? This guy was going to be a decent power bat 25 to 30 a year ...?? Pedey I looooove Pedey but cooooooome onnnnn !!! The guy takes strike one for years and no one steps in ??? Again with Pedey he's a mash unit now ....Time to move the heck on.Back to Blake why are we acting like he's 80 years old in a wheel chair ??? Did you even watch him catch this ST ??? He's freaking damn goooooooooood !!!!! Don't write this kid off he's got more Athelete in him than just about every starter we have not named Betts and his D looks pretty damn good to me ...more than good enough with that Bat .I wouldn't hesitate to kick Sandy Leon to the curb or Holt or Mitch ...ok done ranting incoherently ...I like Blake at catcher still can you tell ?

You are on the money with this ...

Blake plays 3b tomorrow ...pretty amazing player .

I need a break ...seems like I'm always defending Swihart and we are not related or am I on the payroll...Every one here is fantastic fans with valid views see you here at the start of the season ...I'm self banning myself from here a couple weeks ...Moon,Notin ,Harmony ,Bellhorn and the rest Thankyou for all the insight on our team.

They beat you down huh Moon ? Hang in there only a few days left .I need a break also ,I have us trading Groome and Vaz for JT Realmutto and looking to upgrade Mitch at the break ....hell I have Swihart beating out Sandy for the 2 catchers position and us trading Leon ....I then have us getting Cobb...I need the season to start yesterday I'm going nuts with risky trades lol

Worthless ?? Huh ? A Ransom of what Groome ,Chavis and a filler piece ? Oh I think we have plenty if we want to get a Catcher that's is as good as you say "Ransom" ....We have a Ransom.I don't watch many Marlin games but this kid seems like a hell of a player from every account ....How about Vaz ,Groome for this kid ? We have plenty of pieces ...and hey Blake is far from Worthless compared to Mike Trout he's still not Worthless ...JBJ keeps hitting like he has Mookie will be manning CF and you will get a chance to watch who you think is worthless...if Leon falters a nuts hair you will see mr worthless ...if Nunez falters filling in at second again Mr worthless ...in extra innings with no pitchers left ...you get to see mr worthless throw in upper 90s ....worthless doesn't fit this Athlete .

JBJ ......I'm thinking this is make it or break it year for him as well...it's ST but dang that's depressing.Moon Thankyou for posting this .Who was it that wanted to trade for JBJ and Dave said no ? Moreland a tick better but yuck ....

Snot forms quickly lol ok moving on ....Sam Travis !!! What a swing huh ?

Swi and Chvis ??? Ok point taken moving on .
