Actions speak louder than words, and I’ve been saying that since the Red Sox made the offer to Bogey last offseason. The SS market may be robust, but will the Red Sox spend the money to get one?
-
Who said anything about blowing the cap up every year? No one did. I just say I don’t care if it was. What may be illogical to you, and I’m just not just talking about this subject might not be illogical to others, and that works both ways.
-
Call it what you want, but I’m content with my opinion much to your chagrin, and others. Thanks for the kind words though. It’s much appreciated.
-
I’m not into assumptions there are plenty of others who like to do that. I don’t think Bogey will be back, but outside of that I’m not assuming, and the Red Sox have been quiet on the subject.
-
Who said anything about not watching, or paying to go to games? What I said was fans have to do that, which is different than working for someone where they don’t. I’ve always seen the logic in not paying tax, or high payrolls, but like I’ve said many times I just don’t care. There are plenty of others who care about that, and like it, or not I don’t.
-
Where does it say I assumed? The assumption has been on here that Story will play 2B, and the Red Sox will sign a SS, so ding, ding,ding, ding, ding all I said was I haven’t heard Cora, or Bloom say Story would be staying at 2B. Who would play 2B would be determined later just like who would be playing SS. The Rangers signed 2 SS last year, so who knows, but no assumption was made by me, but raised a question.
-
Good piece, but when you work for someone you are not paying them to do so. Watching the Red Sox by paying for NESN, or going to Fenway, and paying those high, high ticket prices to me makes it a little bit more of a different situation, and fans think they should have some sort of a voice.
-
I’ve already said my opinion on why the Red Sox say they are prioritizing signing Bogey. Personally I just think it is lip service, and PR, but we’ll see. Why didn’t Story play SS this past year? Really? I didn’t ask Cora, or Bloom, but I’ll take a wild guess, and say they already have a SS.
-
Saying they are prioritizing Bogey to me has nothing to do with Story,, or the fact that Bogey plays SS, but the fact that Bogey is, and has been an important piece to the organization, and it wouldn’t matter if Bogey played LF he would still be a priority in resigning him.

To say who plays these positions before any additions are made is a useless game just like any depth charts are useless also. I’ve already stated many times since last offseason what the biggest need is, so why keep playing the game back, and forth? It’s already been answered. You led the league in scenarios, and that’s fine for you, but if you have to look at a depth chart to tell you what the biggest needs are you are in trouble to begin with, and I hope Bloom is not doing that. Being hung up on Jeter Downs will get you nowhere.
-
And this past year it got us a losing record, and a last place in the Div finish.
-
Top priority will get addressed as best they can sounds more like wishful thinking to me with Bloom making those decisions. The fact that the Bogey situation hasn’t been decided one way, or the other by now in my opinion doesn’t give much hope. Bloom’s best might not be someone else’s best.
-
Amazing that I haven’t heard Cora, or Bloom say that Story would not be a option to play SS this coming year if the situation arises like he did this past year, so when you say We are almost 100%-certain to add to SS where is that information coming from? Someone’s opinion is far from a almost 100% certainly.
-
Another extreme scenario. Comparing this scenario to Jeter Downs in any scenario is totally useless. That I agree.
-
Nothing wrong in my opinion at the present time with Bogey having the I’m not moving off SS attitude. He is still good enough to play D at SS. I know other posters were complaining about it last offseason, but so be it.
-
Story, Kike, or Arroyo would play there first, so that just shows the depth chart is useless.
-
I fully understand what a depth chart is, and at the moment the depth chart doesn’t mean a tinkers damm. Like I’ve said numerous times before the Bogey situation one way, or the other should have been cleared up long ago, but Bloom is still looking for that third option in the fork in the road like he was at the trade deadline. s***, or get off the pot. Letting Bogey getting to FA is just upping the price, which I think is what the Sox wants. Their actions speaks louder than words. All PR, and lip service.
-
My opinion is yes. Bogey is proven, and proven in Boston, and yes in my opinion that means something.
-
Jeter Downs shouldn’t even be in Worcester let alone on any depth chart on the big league club.
-
Didn’t say Bogey was on the team. Said he was the best option.
-
If Soxprospects.com has Jeter Downs being in the #1slot at SS anywhere I wouldn’t put any faith in them at all for anything.
-
Who said your point was so extreme? Quick answer is NOBODY. You just don’t like others, and their opinion that the BP, and closer is the #1 need.
-
Bogey is the best option for SS, and nobody on the present roster is as good an option for the closer.
-
It’s amazing that it is always someone else out there that is over analyzing, and not you. Anyone who even throws Downs, and Duran out there as being part of anything is more than a proverbial head scratcher. Throwing out extremes, because making the BP the #1 priority did not fit your opinion.SS once again is only a weak area, because the Red Sox have chosen at the moment to make it one.
