The thing that counts the most above all the fancy stats you can come up with. Runs on the scoreboard.
-
JT tailed off at the end. I don’t know if his foot problem helped with that, or not, but which one of the young guys are going to get 90+ RBI, and do the other things he did. The Red Sox still haven’t replaced Renfroe’s 90+ RBI. It isn’t that easy. Who knows what Duval would have ended up with either if he hadn’t gotten hurt.
-
And does it look like JH is going to pay in cash?
-
Except for Gio that would be a damm cheap starting rotation.
-
At the moment it seems more likely than not.
-
All top prospects? The bottom line is this. If the Red Sox don’t sign any of the top high priced FA pitchers, which I have said all along I don’t believe they will then how to you propose the Red Sox are going to make the rotation better unless you make trades?
-
Who’s to say the Red Sox have to trade 3 guys for 1 young pitcher? BTV? JH is not going to spend anymore than he wants to regardless.
-
Who’s to say the Sox would overpay? Mayer, or none of the others are no sure thing. Maybe it’s the other team that would overpay.
-
That’s why JH would be more inclined to want to do it.
-
I don’t blame him, because he doesn’t have his bodyguard Bloom to take the barbs for him this year.
-
As I’ve said right along I’ve been gong on the assumption that the Red Sox were not going to sign any of the top high priced FA, so what other options are there except to trade?
-
That’s what Bres, and all his minions get paid the big bucks for to find.
-
Now you’re finally getting it.
-
I get that, but I’ve said right along to trade top prospects for other teams top pitching prospects, and that Henry could be more inclined to go with since it would be just as cheap as to hang to a Mayer type.
-
Once again you don’t have to wait to be a contending team to make the team better. The longer you wait the more expensive it gets, and we know how JH likes that.
-
That’s awfully nice of you coming from a Bloom guy.
-
It wouldn’t be trading away any future that you are so worried about if you get some here, and now, and also some future coming back too.
-
I didn’t ask how the D could get better. I said if it doesn’t get better with the SP the team won’t get any better. It’s been discussed many times how the D could get better.
-
For the ones who didn’t think Dugy could play RF in Fenway he did a pretty good job last year. I don’t think he was overrated.
-
Mayer hasn’t come close to making it out of Portland yet.
-
Cora wasn’t the Manager in 2013. I was talking about Cora as the manager the Red Sox have finished last the last two years, and won in 2018 with a loaded team. If Cora leaves after this year I don’t see it would make that much difference.

-
Ah the Butterfly Man. How could anyone forget him, or Franchy in that 2022 lowlight film.
-
Except for on here, no one official has said the RAF Man is going to be the starting CF. I have seen the RAF Man make a couple of great catches in Portland, but can he hit good enough.
-
Exactly, and the RAF Man hasn’t proved he can even come close to hitting ML pitching yet, and Abreu doesn’t have that many AB yet to know what he can do.
