Natick to NC

Predictions.... 1. JBJ gets traded 2. We are shopping Porkchop 3.pedey is gone after this year 4. Xander is traded 5.machado becomes a Redsox and is extended. 6.we get Martinez for 5 at 128 7.chavis plays 2b in 19 as starter for Redsox 8price stays 9.we trade Pomeranze 10.we extend Craig woooohoooo 11. Hanley gets his money

Hosmer would do very well at Fenway Hosmer will suuuuuuck in SD Hosmer needs the pressure he feeds off it .

Redsox will not get JD for 100 million now Arizona could ...Boston is not an easy place to play the media the fan base demand certain things from our players ...like living up to expectations ...it's a fishbowl .Boston has to overpay for certain players who may never fit to begin with ....Detroit is not Boston ...Arizona lol that's retirement central .Boston may lose out but what's to say this guy can even handle this place ????? Maybe Dave knows this better than anyone what the makeup of JD is .and hence the lowball offer ...take it or leave it JD right ???? Hmmmm..Only player I know of who begged to play for us is Hosmer ...That's why I love the kid .Hosmer is maybe the reverse to JD in this regard ....Hosmer would likely take less years and somewhat less AAV to play on this stage .....I love love love that .instead of pleading and prodding some guy who's often injured and one dimensional.seems to me Dave is begggggging anyone please pleaaaaaase take JD .

100 million is absolutely a weather balloon it's a non starter it's a fraud offer .I am no agent but if I'm his Dad I'd tell him sit out until 125 rolls in but try to hold out for 130.Dave either wants this player or he's playing a game to leverage someone else ...what is more likely at this point.? Lomo is not a real answer ...either is Duda ....who impacts the current team more if it's not JD ? Who's availability is under wraps so tight RSN is in a tailspin .

Here's another thought ....Dave never wanted JD .JD negotiations are a ploy for leverage on a trade or another FA asking price to come down ? Now in this scenario who are these names ????? Abreu ? Freeman ? Edwin ? ?..........Hosmer ? All the above are in play now ....100 million offer is a non starter for JD ...so who in that group have we showed interest ....Edwin right ? What about Abreu yes ....what about Freddie ? Not as far as I know Hosmer ??? Only Gammons has created buzz around Hos ....so who are we trading ? JBJ ? Don't think so who else ? Subsidised Hanley yes and to who ? White sox why ? Mentor for none other than Moncada ? Possibly yes ....now Edwin This is not cut and dry but JBJ would need a replacement ...who comes along with Edwin to sweeten the deal ? I don't know .What FA can play RF ,CF and has some pop that's left ???? If we do get Edwin who comes in to take an oF Spot ? Can Nunez hold down RF ?MVP 78 is on something with Edwin but what if there's several shoes to drop ....is Machado coming to Boston ? 100 million to JD is not an offer its a smoke show .

If I'm JD I sign at 5 for 130 now in Boston .Thats my number...that shows him they need him and that he's the perfect fit .Do I think we get him now ??? Maybe 50 50 best case now .

Are you really asking that ? Really ? Edwin vs JD as a hitter who is a hair behind Stanton as a hitter .

No it's the Redsox being idiots and not paying the man in the same stratosphere.I am pissed now at this team it's been an absolute horse and pony show .125 for 5 is a solid offer 100 million ???? That's spitting on his shoe .132 lands a happy player who goes balls out .I was absolutely angry at JD for not respecting what I thought was a fair offer in 125 over 5 and for the life of me couldn't understand why ......well now we have the truth they spit in his eye and said like it .

He will never come here on a pillow over any other team now hell no .

Come onnnnn please think about what you just wrote ....that man is worth more than 100 million .My God I'm tired of this crap .The Redsox have no desire to land JD none zip zero ....this is a fraud offer never expecting JD to do anything but laugh in there face .John Lester offer 2.0 ....screwing around wasting everyone's time .I think I want a brand new 18 Bentley....I'm going into the dealership and offer 42000 hey it starts at 150 k but maybe if no one can afford it they will take the offer ....1 month goes by ....2 ....3 months no call back .?..Hmmmm thought they wouldn't sell that car ....wrong .

So it's time to call BS on Sox ownership and GM in regards to this offseason and JD ....100 million ? Really 100 million ? Half of what he originally asked ???? Ohh this won't end well Redsox fans ...no nor should it .John Lester low ball offer and now this ? Lol come on we go get Sale ? price ? And stop at the one yard line ?????? Maybe Dave is a s*** GM after all ...he dismantled our Farm for what ? To be the 2017 Celtics version of baseball ??? There will be some fun games sure and maybe hey they can win what a wildcard game ? But no chance in hell at a championship ...What exactly is going on ? 100 million ? That's a freaking insult and won't be forgotten by JD or his agent or this Redsox fan .Nooooo wonder why he's not signed yet my God what an asshat of a GM .I normally fly in for 2 games a year ...not a freaking dime will I spend on that idea ...no MLB package nothing ...they want to dick around do it on some wealthy asshats dime not my hard earned sheckles .

Great question.I personally think he's a 35 HR bat at Fenway .KC steals atleast 5 to 10 homers a year from him .I think playing particularly at Fenway makes Eric already a very smart hitter to begin with .an elite hitter ..he adjusts to the Ballpark .Eric in SD is a 15 million a year player for 5 same with KC ...Here my projections are 32 HR 112 RBi and a boat load of doubles ...Eric Hosmer just so happens to love Boston Love the park love the pressure and the standard of winning ...I would argue I'd take Eric over JD both as an underrated fielder and Hitter .Eric is a leader of men ...Eric is a Dirtdog ....Eric is beloved by the city he works in ....Eric is a priceless player particularly for Boston who sorely needs this leadership .I would take this mans potential at Fenway over JD ...I don't give a rip what the rest of you see .I see the Truth on a baseball diamond .I am not alone in what I see .Pay Eric Hosmer and get Nunez ...we won't ever have to worry a second about JD and his legs of stone ...the man hits to dead center ...that's a hard way to make a living at Fenway ...he's got to be slower than Ortiz and he cannot bump any of our OF players for defensive reasons ....JD is solely a DH ....why in the hell are we discussing paying a DH 25 million a year ????? Get Hosmer and we have our 1b taken care of for close to a decade .

Hosmer would rake here don't get the hate but oh well I'm that guy .

Hosmer or bust !!!

Ok so Rosenthall is convinced JD is not coming here ...Time to move on .Hosmer is my choice for 1b the next 7 years .Let Mitchy Two bags split time with Hanley at DH and then trade him at the Break . betts Benny Hanley Devers Hosmer Nunez Xander replace X with Machado next offseason . JBJ Vaz. Think this is a 96 win Team pushing the Yankees all year ...decided final week

I'm just pissed off today ...You're right about all the above .Thnkyou.....Nelson Cruz should have been with Papi his final year then Edwin last year was an absolute no brainer now it's jerking around with JD ...if you find a house you're going to live in the next decade is an additional 10 k going to bust the deal ??? anti the hell Up now and let's move on .

Don't ever forget what you wrote it's brilliant and we don't need to settle for people who don't want go play here ...Love the passion just want that from some of our players ...Well said and Thankyou for reminding me of all this .

I'm just depressed today about Celtics ...I know this is a Redsox board but man it feels as though the high hopes I had are gone with them the Patriots and dwindling with my Redsox by the day ...I'm talking winning rings I don't care about fielding meh teams .

Redsox ,Patriots ,Celtics are all trending way down .Boston sports after today after the debacle and humiliating loss first in Super Bowl and now Pauls jersey retirement and Redsox refusing to right last years wrong and pussy foot around with another power hitter ...Boston has zero buzz no excitement just a bunch of teams and management kicking the can down the road ...done spending money and time caring when they don't now .Ainge and Dombo asleep at the wheel now .Redsox are like watching paint dry zero personality no leadership just another meh team ...they are well behind Houston well behind LA well behind the Cubs well behind LA Dodgers well behind Angels be lucky to get a WC this year ....terrible decisions the last two years .

Wonder if Theo would entertain a blockbuster next offseason for The RIZ

This is spot on and Heywood !!! That's a disgusting contract for a 1 dimensional player Defense .Sound familiar ? We will rue the day we didn't go get Hosmer .....kidding ...sorta

Two of those deals are horrific the others a non brained in Lester

Thankyou Harmony !! ...so hmmm Lomo seems like a kick the can down the road sign ....No thanks .Hosmer looks like his projections are pretty solid ....JD come on down .

I'm trying to figure out Lomos projection for this year ? Any idea ?

Arietta body type bodes well but his delivery is admittedly ....scary as hell ....I would get Arietta myself .Big game pitcher World Series champ .
