What, and how many are you planning on?
-
And neither is Kike.
-
Yes the natives are restless, and there is NO time like the PRESENT to go all in. Like Mic said to Rocky in Rocky II. What are we waiting for?! You don’t take years off just to hope that things will get better down the road. If Bloom can’t do it then let’s get someone who can.
-
Standing order.
-
Not me, but some are OK with that.
-
Oh no you called Kike nothing but a backup, before he came to Boston. Moon is not going to like that, but I do agree though.
-
We can’t do that! We have to wait for 2-3 more years.
-
Yes Vaz is, but if he came back to Boston he would resume being the #1 catcher. Like I keep saying Reese, and Wong are nothing, but backups.
-
Last year was last year, but the limitations on Kike’s hot streak certainly didn’t help him, or carry into this year. Kike sucked from day 1 this year, and long before he got hurt. He really didn’t make it over 200 until the end of May, so while it was great what he did in the 2021 postseason he was just the opposite this year, and just pretty much sucked.
-
Vaz had a lot of big clutch hits though.
-
I’m not talking about anybody named Murphy. I’m saying all we have are backup catchers now, and need a #1.
-
How about a #1 catcher? All they have is backups now.
-
There has been rumors of seeing Bloom driving a sanitation truck in other cities around MLB.
-
The Red Sox were going to need a 4th OF to start the season anyways, but Bloom exasperated the problem with the trade for JBJ that made the OF go from a need to a higher need, and that also cost more.
-
Duran, Downs, and Franchy to me is 3 names that could just go away.
-
I don’t know why Duran Duran The Butterfly Man is even mentioned anymore, but even as a 4th OF for the Ref I think you still need a plan B for that.
-
I did not say you claimed anything about JBJ, and was my addressing the overall problem, and I agree with you that Bloom, and Cora FU.
-
Having said all that can the Red Sox plan on The Ref to be a contributor next year based on this year?
-
Right on that, and nor should they have.
-
Refsnyder had been nothing, but a journeyman OF, so why would he had been given much of a thought. Now if Refsnyder had been given the shot in ST, and turned out like he did I agree with you. That still wouldn’t have made up for the JBJ failed return though.
-
The addition of Story had nothing to do with not needing a RH OF. The fact that Arroyo went out, and tried to play RF showed that, and showed what a lack of, or bad plan it was. As it turned out with JBJ, and Kike both sucking with the bat injury, or not showed even more was needed. Waiting until August to get someone like Pham was to little to late.
-
But everything to do with AFRAUD.
-
He got what he deserved from Tek, and it should have been more.
-
Good old Roger he waited until he left Boston until he started using, or they wasn’t working his last 4 years.
-
Yes, but only to a point. I’m not for signing Bogey at any cost, and I would say the same with Mookie, or Raffy.
