    Or healthy...

    You're all pessimists. Why can't you see the Red Sox pitching staff as half-full?
  3. 5GoldGlovesOF,75
    They're lights out every October. By the end of the AL playoffs, the Yanks' bullpen turns the lights out on their season.
  4. 5GoldGlovesOF,75
    And for the 14th year in a row, the Yankees have the greatest bullpen in the history of this century not to play in the World Series.

    I didn't mention Bello because I already expect him to evolve into the next ace. Nobody will call him that, in deference to the grizzled veterans who starred back in the twenty-teens, but he's been the best pitcher on every team at every level in his climb to the bigs. Other players from those leagues will eventually make the Show, but there's no reason Bello won't continue to dominate them.

    After watching Murphy, Mata and Walter pitch on TV in ST games, I'm leaning towards this promising trio -- and not the old veteran starter threesome -- as the real key to the '23 season... ... because when one or two or three of Sale/Paxton/Kluber breaks down, these youngsters will take their place in some role on the staff. Hoping and wishing and praying that Bloom makes moves to acquire outside pitching is by now a waste of time (and resources); who is coming to Boston from another team this season that looks any better than Murphy, Mata or Walter?

    Luckily, when Song finally took his first solo flight -- after all those years of never flying (but dreaming) -- the Navy didn't limit him to just a take-off... and vow to stretch him out to a landing for his next outing.

    Eduardo Perez on ESPN's telecast just called Rafaela an "absolute can't-miss star."
  9. 5GoldGlovesOF,75
    Of course, but he's young and strong enough to keep his balance riding a bike, for instance.
  10. 5GoldGlovesOF,75
    He has his own line of t-shirts for sale in Worcester!

    Skinny kids were always in the back pages of comic books, getting sand kicked on them by bullies at the beach. Then they'd enlist and come back as muscle men. The country would even pay them to work out, so they could buy rootbeer floats for their dates.

    No love for Fitzy?
  13. 5GoldGlovesOF,75
    Yes it is!
  14. 5GoldGlovesOF,75
    He's now 25 and has been working out in the military for the past something years. Song could now be in better shape than when he last pitched competitively...
  15. 5GoldGlovesOF,75
    When Dombro drafted Song and smiled this winter, he was looking at this forum.
  16. 5GoldGlovesOF,75
    That's more reasonable, if not realistic. Guys across the leagues are already dropping like flies in the '22 Boston outfield. And the WBC hasn't even begun.
  17. 5GoldGlovesOF,75
    No way! Red Sox are the only unbeaten MLB team in the world!
  18. 5GoldGlovesOF,75
    I noah song: "Nothing from nothing leaves nothing -- you gotta have something, if you wanna be with me..." ... it's by a little-known Beatle (added to the group in the Rule IV draft, circa 1970)
  19. 5GoldGlovesOF,75
    He's still sore about the night someone in the front office told him they were about to re-sign Bogaerts -- and when he woke up, Xander was a Padre.
  20. 5GoldGlovesOF,75
    I never lost $100,000 dollars (the cost for a Rule V pick) on a lark, but any time I forget to eat leftovers, the owner of my franchise gets really mad.

    Hawk was a good color man when he began in the booth with the pro Stockton. He shared insights, like McCarver or Remy did in their primes, knew the players, and was a "homer" for a club with a lot of star power. He didn't develop his obnoxious shticks until he worked for Chicago. The preceding was a totally subjective assessment from a kid still scarred by the Red Sox' Hawk trade in 1969.

    Probably, but back in the teens -- in the old minor league parks -- food and drink were as proportionately cheap as the seats. But to be Fenway frank, the dogs weren't as high quality as the nitrate sticks wrapped in plastic toxins soaking in roiling Charles River water...
  23. 5GoldGlovesOF,75
    Mondesi might be back before that... (though he has never played an inning at short for the Sox, like some other teammates).
  24. 5GoldGlovesOF,75
    My experiences at minor league games lately is that the tickets are still bargains, but concessions cost big league prices (ya, ya -- that's why they call them concessions).
  25. 5GoldGlovesOF,75
    At least they have Rojas. Imagine if the Sox lost Bogaerts; they'd have to move players all over the field.
