I really wonder what swihart is now after two injury plagued seasons. Three years ago, he was on my untouchable list. Had a beautiful swing and made lots of hard contact. Now he is probably a double a player stuck in triple a.

6 Inning Starts + 6 Man Roration = Fewer Arm Problems
Larry Cook replied to bosoxmal's topic in Boston Red Sox Talk
The six man rotation works if you go with 13 pitchers and have at least two holt’s on the bench. I would instead propose that we go to a 13 pitcher squad, but every other cycle the Long reliever gets a start starting June 1st, and we stay on rotation even when we have a day off. It is so important to get these pitchers locked in and focused on throwing strikes and secondary pitches through the first couple of months of the season. I think we do not give our starters enough innings in spring training and they come out rusty to start each season. -
I expect the Yankees to go hard after talent this offseason by either trade or free agency.

Does Leon work better with Rodriguez?

Sox to hire Alex Cora as manager
Larry Cook replied to jacksonianmarch's topic in Boston Red Sox Talk
Seems like desperate dave was locked on him from day one, He needs to make sure this works. -
Groome has some incredible stuff. His curveball has a chance to be Kershaw like. Can he put it all together next season? Hard to say. But if he does we have s future #1 starter on our hands. Ps: our record of developing together by pitchers is not what I would describe as spectacular!
-
If Rodriguez is going to miss the beginning of the season and price's elbow is hanging on by a thread, then desperate dave should look for two starters this offseason. In my mind, we need to sign free agents ohtani and Alex Cobb!
-
I thought it was "Fran-in-a-coma"!
-
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!
