Pedroia undergoes microfracture surgery
Larry Cook replied to jacksonianmarch's topic in Boston Red Sox Talk
I like betts in the lead off role. Betts Benintendi Pedroia (when healthy) JD Hanley Hosmer Devers Bogey Vazquez/Leon Bradley -
I find it refreshing that dave is playing the Long game this offseason. But I get the feeling that dave does not have the analytics dept to get him the data he needs to figure out best fits for us. All our talented youngsters left when dave entered the building. Sadly our front office is reduced to old geezers like dave and larussa, who know more about changing their depends diapers than turned my on a computer.
-
I would do this deal if we have six viable starting pitchers signed.
-
If? I take it you are not an advocate of the personal catcher strategy?
-
Great stuff. I still contend that pedroia fractured the clubhouse with that incident and Farrell was never able to get the team past it.
-
Amen brother! Especially if dave is looking at a report from the medical staff that says price’s elbow is shot. Unfortunately we do not have access to those, so we can only speculate on price’s health. Nevertheless I still think dave can sign 1b Adams, sp Vargas and Lhrp McGee and we are good to go for next season. I would still like us to sign kintzler as well. Especially since kimbrel’s trade value has never been higher than right now!
-
I think you gave all our pitchers a giant collective nightmare.
-
I still think desperate Dave is carrying a torch for abreu.
-
Even if Guzman was a top 20 prospect, the price the Yankees paid to Miami seemed very light.
-
And who In their right mind would ever have fired a great GM like Theo?
-
At one point I considered Swihart and betts as untouchable.
-
15 wins after the league suspends him for 30 games?
-
Did anyone else hear that Wright got arrested for domestic abuse?
-
His bat speed is slowing down considerably. Is it because of injury or age?
-
I phone spell check gets me again! My bad!

The point is mute! Stanton would not waive the no trade clause. The emphasis is not what the marlins could have had, it is what would have enticed Stanton. Kraft gives Brady rent free space at patriots place. Maybe if Stanton has something like what Brady has, we could have gotten him free space outside Fenway. Point is we needed to work the Stanton side of the equation, Problem is I do not think New Miami management took the time to learn stanton’s Hot buttons, so they could make the best possible deal. They just wanted his contract off the books. This was a huge missed opportunity for those guys.

Groome had a rough year last year, he injured himself in the first game of the year and then his father ran into all kinds of legal trouble. That is a lot of a 17-18 year old to deal with. However for a couple of weeks there, he showed us why he is a prospect. The ball jumps out of his hand. His stuff is beyond electric! His curveball could become kershaw like. I saw him once on one of his best outings of the year and he blew me away with the movement on his stuff. Yes he needs to work on control, but how many 18 year he olds don’t. No player in the sox system has nearly as much upside as groome. The gamble for desperate Dave is if groome ever reaches his potential.
-
Leon clearly handles sale and to a lesser extent porcello better than Vazquez. But Vazquez is the better hitter.
-
No one on this board is as anti dave as me, and I can not call him out for anything on either ohtani or Stanton,
-
Good pitching beats good hitting!
-
Very true! Maybe they should start looking for relocation options now. Vegas for example!
-
As far as free agent pitching goes. I am looking at starter Vargas.(if healthy) And 2 relievers from kintzler, Hughes, dukes and McGhee.
-
I was watching some film of Zach Duke. He seems to generate a decent amount of ground balls. Anybody think he is on dave’s radar?
-
How do we feel about signing goins as our starting 2nd baseman until pedroia is healthy? He had a decent year north of the border and can also play short.

Looking at what Miami got for Stanton and Gordon and it seems to be a self fulfilling acknowledgement of the old axiom “ you can not cut your way to prosperity”
