Why play the games, when we can all just read fangraphs! We won 93 games last year with this lineup. We lost several games we should have won because we ran out of pitching due to injuries. Seems like a no brainer. We need pitching!
-
Unless it comes out differently, I will always believe Ben signed the cheap guys that won a World Series in 2013. He caught lightening in a bottle. He rode his winning streak into 2014 and we collapsed. Then Larry stepped in and became the puppet master. Now we are stuck with Hanley and sandoval’s Contracts thanks to Larry.

Don’t the Sox have insurance on guys like price? Hopefully the insurance company is picking up the tab on price’s shredded elbow!
-
Clearly those two months Moreland played through the broken toe damaged his stats line! I’m still calling him a steal!
-
Hasn’t Moreland hit 20 taters per season for the past couple of years? If we need more power, we isn’t everyone looking at bogey? Plus we will have devers for a full season. At the end of the day, we have a decent lineup capable of scoring, but we need more pitching!
-
Makes Moreland look like a steal!
-
I could not agree more. At some point that elbow is going to blow out. That is why we need more pitching!
-
Our pitchers love the guy. What is amazing is his first step usually made at contact because he seems to know where the ball is going based on where the pitch is located. Very hard to teach that! Dave needs to focus on getting more pitching and let someone else eat jd’s contract,
-
Ortiz was unique that is for sure, But JD loves to hit the other way and I thcan no only three guys hit opposite field taters in San fran’s Park all year last year. It just does not seem like a good fit for JD. Now if JD winds up in Arlington or Baltimore, look out for tons of taters!
-
It’s a difficult position for dave. In order to bring in JD, he needs to move Hanley. Selling low on any player is tough, but one coming off offseason shoulder surgery is even harder. Ps: the twins really need to call dave. Hanley would be a dh upgrade for them and they could probably get dave to foot most of the bill.
-
Besides us, what other teams are realistic players for JD? The giants? Do we really believe JD will have any success going the other way in San fran’s Park? I don’t. Hope dave can do the math on this and not burn us,
-
I do not have any regrets if we do not sign a big bat, I like our current lineup, but I do wish we could get a veteran to provide leadership in the clubhouse. We have so missed the leadership Ortiz provided, it would be a shame to miss the opportunity to get a leader to keep the zombies focused and producing!
-
With Moreland signed, we have above average defenders at catcher, first, second (when pedroia is healthy), center field and right field. Left field is average Short and third are below average. From a defensive view, seems like we can really help our pitchers by improving th defense at short.
-
If Brentz is our 4th outfielder, then we now have a full boat on the offensive side of the locker room. Now it is up to dave to get us more pitching!!!!
-
A weird offseason continues! Something seems to be going on behind the scenes, Dave is by nature very aggressive, he usually does his impersonation of the black mamba, striking quick, without thinking and leaving a trail of dead bodies behind. But this offseason, he is doing his best impersination of elephants having sex. There is a lot of dust and a lot of noise, but at the end of the day, there is not a lot really happening there. And while I am comfortable with the Moreland signing, I feel this is plan g. And yet I can not figure out why or how dave got this far off track.
-
I think Seattle is moving Gordon to cf.
-
Why trade Bradley? With our infield defense leakier than the titanic, we need all the defense we can get in the outfield!
-
And what if Boras is looking for a seven year deal!
-
Amen brother! There is not a deep market for JD. We have to guard against bidding against ourselves! Dave needs to continue to put together the three way trade for abreu while continuing to monitor the temperature on jd’s Market.
-
Hasn’t bogey already proven to struggle at third?
-
I do not see a huge market for JD. I think dave is smart to wait out Boras and not bid against himself. For hosmer, we know the Padres like him and so does kc, but Boras needs a heavywright in the ring and again dave is being smart to drag thus out! We shall see how this plays out.
-
How does Miami keep cranking out stud players and pitchers, yet we barely muster 1 starter per decade?
-
Are we, maybe, just over reacting a bit! So far nothing has happened, just news reports that may or may be substantiated. I think everyone needs to take a deep breath and tone the rhetoric down for a second. Everybody just needs to remember this simple fact: Much like the neutered dog, dave just does not get it!!!!!!!
-
Jeter is a joke and should be boiled alive for letting Stanton go so cheaply!
-
I appreciate everybody harping on the big bat theory, but pitching wins championships! Really hoping dave takes a peak at Vargas (if his Medicals check out) Still need a reliever - Zach dukes?
