Wasn't yaz the same height? He did ok at first if I remember correctly, but I was very young back then.
-
Nobody on this board has bashed desperate dave like I have, but even I have to admit desperate dave did the right thing by going all in on sale. And if everyone is honest, we all knew sale had a tendency to wear down in the second half of seasons. Out of devers, Moncada and benintendi, desperate dave was smart to part with Moncada. So I give him props for that as well. Now he needs to put that same focus squarely on signing ohtani.

If Nunez had a torn pcl, he will need surgery and at least a six month recovery period.
-
Whoever we sign or marrero or Lin.
-
I've torn my acl, mcl and pcl as well as the patella tendon previously, but not the ligament that Rodriguez just had fixed. Six months seems like a short recovery period. I would think nine months is a better figure,
-
What injury could he have that can't be cured by surgery?
-
moving bogey to second base is an excellent idea. If pedroia has the surgery, he will probably miss the first part of the season. If pedroia does not have the surgery, then he will be injured and miss the last 5 months of the season. Being able to move bogey over could be the best position for him and our pitchers will benefit from not having him at short.
-
Ohtani!!!! Desperate dave needs to sign him. He is the real deal and the perfect fit for us.
-
In 2018, pedroia is going to try to come back. By the end of may, he will be injured. Nunez looks to have a torn pcl. That means surgery, not sure he makes sense. Marco missed the year. Holt was concussed and then played like he still was all year. Neither walker nor Kendrick seem like fits. Maybe we sign cozart and move him to second.
-
For clarification purposes only: Yes, I think desperate dave should be kicked to the curb before he can do anymore damage. I wanted to keep Farrell. I thought he did a decent job. I want pedroia to get his knee operated on and come back healthy next season or in 2019. I am sick of watching him trying to play through injuries instead of going to the dl. As a sunsetter, he had to learn that when he is not 100 percent, he is JAG. I am ok with bogey staying. But someone has to light a fire under all our young non catching hitters and get them to realize the goal of sports is to win! None of our young non catching hitters have a fire to compete. They don't care about winning and that can not be tolerated. No more zombies!!! As for Hanley, same as pedroia. Finally chilli. As a hitting coach, he is JAG.

What do we think about the Sox signing jake McGhee as a lefty for the bullpen this offseason?
-
So should we give Lin a shot?
-
What do we think about adding Neil walker?
-
Being a reactionary with absolutely no plan and zero forethought is not Henry's job. But it does perfectly describe desperate dave's operational strategy!
-
The only injury that I can possibly think of that could cause pedroia to drag the leg around for most of the season and not require surgery is a torn mcl. Great now we get to watch pedroia hurt the team again next year by trying to play through a hurt leg. Hopefully the new manger has the guts to stamp "fragile" on pedroia's forehead and put him on the dl with all the other broke down sunsetters before he costs us games,
-
I absolutely hope pedroia has enough sense to get the knee operated on and come back in June or July as healthy as the banana boy can be. I would love for chavis to step up and win the second base job out of spring training. I hope we do not spend one dime on resigning Nunez unless he gets his pcl operated on!
-
The offseason priority list has to be: 1) sign ohtani. This guy is the real deal. 2) leave devers at third base. 3) sign/trade for a first baseman. 4) sign/trade for a lefty reliever. Previously I thought devers should be moved to first, but there is nothing out there that makes sense at third base for us, So in 2018 at first, we can resign Moreland and hope he is healthier next year or sign Santana and hope he does not imitate Pedroia and bruise extremely easily.
-
I thought no we all know how I feel about desperate dave, he is a turd in the punch bowl. So let's talk about his options for our depleted farm system. Our major league club is good enough to be among the best in baseball, but lacks the depth and is handcuffed by bananas like pedroia (that are eternally injured) to win it all. Bottom line we are drafting 24 and later for the next couple of years. That means a lot of future major league relievers (houck for example) and maybe one steal per year (scriff for example this year) So that brings us to the international market. At least desperate dave was smart enough to trade for international signing dollars. If we use it to sign ohtani, that is a major score, if not, desperate dave has to hit on some major international signings. (Flores for example) The last way to improve the farm system is a major sell off in a couple of years by desperate dave's replacement. Because admit it or not, desperate dave is really Nero is disguise. The match has already been lit. And Red Sox nation is Rome!

I believe lucky Larry pulled the strings behind most if not all of what Ben did. And for that John Henry sent Larry packing. I blame desperate dave for outing a product on the field that: A) relied on Pablo at third and had no viable alternatives. And had no powerful presence in the locker room. He left the kids to flounder. And C) had forgot to sign a power bat. It's hard coming in to a situation and having your world view tossed about with a new cba. But desperate dave should have anticipated some of this. He just needs to follow his brothers to extinction like all the other dinosaurs.
-
I'd like to see mars get a shot to prove himself this coming spring. Though he has no power, he does have a nice swing and a good approach at the plate.
-
How does the new manager put this fractured team back together again? Pedroia has not apologized as far as we know. Pedroia is not a team leader. Pedroia is not a high character guy in the locker room. He's just a Lunch pail kind of guy who plays hard. Really can't see him ever being rallying point for this team. Instead he is just a guy on the bus that someone else has to drive around.
-
To the untrained eye it looks like pedroia fractured the locker room when after he got spiked by the oriole player, he was seen on tv saying it is them not me and pointing at Farrell, Very hard to come back from something like that.
-
Desperate dave needs to make the signing of ohtani the most important thing in his life this offseason! This guy is the real deal and exactly what we need. A free agent that we might consider to replace Moreland is Santana.
-
Don't forget dd gave up Shaw for all those great innings pitched by Thornburg! Oh wait! Scratch that! Correction! We gave up Shaw and got zippo from Thornburg and then had to suffer through Sandoval for half the year. Well at least dd has all those talented youngsters in the operations department to crunch numbers for him and help develop a strategy for talent acquisition, Oh wait! Scratch that! Correction. All the talent bolted last off season, first chance they got to flee from clueless dave and all we have now are a bunch of empty offices and plenty of space to store dd's giant super inflated ego! Last I checked, depleted farm systems, depleted operations departments and clueless gm's are not the preferred route to a World Series win!!!!

Did we hurt the team by playing pedroia and bogey who were clearly the worst position players on our team this playoff series?
