Groome and ball with a rough night,
-
Should desperate dave invest in a reliever this off season like wade Davis? Melanson got 62 for 4 years. A deal similar to that should get Davis. It would solve our 8th inning troubles and we would not be dependent on smith or Thornburg.
-
With a proper off season, I am thinking Velasquez might have an outside shot of winning the fifth spot in the rotation. A competition between Wright and Johnson for the fifth spot would probably result in both being injured.
-
Hanley needs a strong veteran presence in the clubhouse to keep him focused. Unfortunately varitek and Ortiz are not coming back through the door. My hope is we get a first baseman in th offseason that can be a leader in rg clubhouse and focus guys like Hanley,

Price out with forearm soreness
Larry Cook replied to jacksonianmarch's topic in Boston Red Sox Talk
If he needs tommy John, his 2018 is toast. I would like to see us bring up beeks in September to see what he has. -
Where would we be without devers?? Scary to think about. Also what is wrong with mookie??
-
Cc is not throwing great stuff, but he knows how to throw down and away which kills our zombies.
-
We really need devers and the eight outs to wake up and score some runs tonight!!!
-
I am hopeful beeks gets a chance in a couple of weeks to pitch in Boston. He or Johnson has to be a better option than fister.
-
Why can't our zombies hit sabathia? His stuff is not great.
-
Fly ball pitchers don't usually do well at Fenway.
-
Sale getting lit up like a pinball machine by the Yankees.
-
Price has a ton of innings on that arm. the gamble is that price could return for the playoffs with some rest vs. getting the surgery now and missing the rest of this year and next year. Clearly price wants to contribute, but will the elbow let him?
-
Isn't he at Portland?
-
Barnes is so unpredictable! Not good tonight.
-
I think this is the first time without the word "not" in the sentence somewhere.
-
Price might be effective coming out of the bullpen for us in the playoffs, Gives him less time for his head to nut up and cost us.
-
I believe trey ball has major league stuff. Once he gets the legs, hips, shoulders, arm, wrist and head all working in unison on a repeatable delivery, he will be a devastating major league pitcher.
-
I thought he was good in college.
-
I have bought he was good in college.
-
Desperate dave can not keep the same standard for scouting going forward because half the baseball operations department bolted last offseason .
-
I have more confidence in benintendi figuring out how to punch outside pitchers the other way than Moreland. Three types of hitters in the majors: Those that make it happen. Those that watch it happen. And those that say what happened? I think we all know which type Moreland is!
-
One more thought to consider: Bradley is represented by boras and I am not sure it makes sense to sign him to a mega deal given how streaky a hitter he is. I get bradley's defense is elite, but you can shake any tree and a half dozen great glove guys fall out. Rarely does a bat fall out. This offseason might be the pinnacle of Bradley's worth on the trade market, if he has a decent end to this season. Would desperate dave consider moving Bradley? Benintendi can play center. Should be easier to find a left fielder with power than a fourth outfielder with power.
-
The unpredictability of price's situation and not knowing if Wright will ever be the same pitcher he was last year means we need to keep two guys at Pawtucket that could start for us in Boston if they can not make it through some, most or all of next season. We have Velasquez and Johnson, who had the worst luck of all Red Sox minor leaguers. Plus a wild card in beeks. We should be set for next year unless there are more medical issues than we know.
-
Could not agree more. Plus I do not see any other teams even remotely interested in him,
