    2016 lineup

    Here's what I would do: 1. Betts 2. Pedroia 3. X 4. Papi 5. Hanley 6. Swihart 7. Panda 8. Castillo 9. JBJ However, I think Farrell will give the veteran (Panda) the benefit of the doubt and hope he rebounds this year. He will probably put Panda 6 and Swihart 8.

    Red Sox sign David Price

    No, it is not a lose/lose. Here is why: He pitches great for 3 years and is worth the $93 million he has already earned. He opts out because he has had 3 great years. We lose the player, but we don't lose the deal. Let's say he gets hurt in his late 30s...then it's actually a win for us. We got...

    What year is your favorite Red Sox season?

    THIS!!!! Outside of the birth of my children and watching my son win his state and NE wrestling titles, those 4 days in October are the most important days in my life. It is sort of disturbing and amazing at the same time. (and yes, I did put those days ahead of my wedding for a couple of...

    What year is your favorite Red Sox season?

    I love to read all the reasons that people choose other seasons. It brings back some great memories. But, how can it not be 2004? The idiots, Millar telling CHB "don't let us win tonight", only team ever to comeback from down 3-0, all the late nights/late inning heroics, beating the MFY, putting...

    Fix This Team: A Speculative Alternative to the Roster Shakeup Thread

    I am not saying this should be the 1st step to happen, so don't shoot down this idea based on SSS. IF Kelly doesn't gain some consistency as a SP, and we have already used Johnson to replace Masterson (which could be the 1st step), then Kelly to the bullpen as a late inning ace would be an...

    The Outfield '15 version

    It isn't the issue of Victorino playing well enough to keep Castillo in a non-starting role that people have a problem with. It is the issue of Victorino keeping Castillo in a non-starting role just because he is "healthy". I have never been a big advocate for spring statistics, but Victorino...

    Who's Your choice for Sox Top of the Rotation Ace?

    Maybe Masterson will be healthier than Lee, that is speculative and not worth arguing about. However, if Lee only costs $$$, who is the  better pitcher? And really, Masterson has only had 1 bad year in his career? Are you serious? ERA+ since 2010 for Masterson: 84, 122, 79, 110, 63 WHIP since...

    Who's Your choice for Sox Top of the Rotation Ace?

    I have expressed my opinion in several different threads that we need an ace. My opinion has changed based on circumstances; when the Reds still had all of their pitchers, I wanted to go after one of theirs, would love to have Hamels because he is signed at what now looks like a reasonable...

    The 2015 Rotation: Where do you stand? (1/20/15)

    Assuming Swihart hits in the majors like he has in the minors, that is probably true. And I hope that his bat is legit at the ML level. That said, here is a crazy thought that hasn't been mentioned: Would you trade Vazquez and a couple of prospects not in the top 5 for Zimmermann? We get by with...

    The 2015 Rotation: Where do you stand? (1/20/15)

    Yes I realize that it is only 1 year of Zimmermann. I also realize that the cost of starting pitching both in FA and in trades is high. I also realize that not all prospects pan out, and that not all of our top prospects will be on the Red Sox, even if they do end up being good. There isn't room...

    The 2015 Rotation: Where do you stand? (1/20/15)

    I voted to make a trade for an ace, with Zimmermann being the guy I would target. Obviously, he is more available now than he was prior to the Scherzer signing. I mentioned in a different thread that I would give up Swihart or Owens for him. Some guys that think all prospects will be all-stars...

    Beyond Lester: Building a Rotation

    I really don't like the thought of trading Betts for Strasburg, even if it makes sense for both teams. Strasburg scares me a little as far as injury concerns go. I still think Zimmermann is the guy to go after. The problem is that we don't match up "need" wise with the Nationals, who are...

    Who's on your 2016 ballot

    New guys: 1. Griffey- obvious, well over 90% of vote 2. Hoffman - not a big fan of closers, but I would vote for him   Guys who should have been in already: 3. Bagwell - seriously this shouldn't be that difficult of a choice. He did everything, hit for average, hit for power, solid D, good...

    Yankees to sign Stephen Drew

    I am not saying this is a bad signing for the MFY, because Drew is good defensively and will most likely rebound at least a little at the plate. What I will say, however, is that it seems like it is $6 million that didn't need to be spent. How many wins is Drew worth over what they already had...
