    Kaleb Ort appreciation thread

    A long time ago in a thread far, far away...it is a period of rivalry war. Red Sox ballclubs, striking from Fenway Park, have yet to win their first post-season series victory against the Evil Empire. Back in those dark days, a man by the name of Eric Van, in a thread titled "Awesome Fossum,"...

    Baseball America Top 100 ‘23: 5 Red Sox

    Here's what Law wrote in the article: "Their group of position-player prospects is probably in the upper half of farm systems, but their group of pitching prospects is one of the weakest. They might not have a future MLB starter anywhere on their full-season rosters; the best of those candidates...

    Red Sox acquire SS/3B Adalberto Mondesi for Josh Taylor

    FWIW, Jim Bowden in an article in The Athletic analyzing 10 off-season trades (link below) grades the Sox favorably on this transaction. Here's what he wrote: "Trade grades: Red Sox — B-plus; Royals — C The Red Sox took a good gamble in acquiring Mondesi, the human injured list, who when...

    Henry & Bloom booed at Winter Weekend

    I wonder how many Twins fans actually spend their precious time reading threads on SoSH. Not to defend the alleged "griping," but should we give a damn about what other fan bases think about Red Sox fans? I sure the f*ck don't.

    Henry & Bloom booed at Winter Weekend

    1 outta 4. That's a .250 average. But, I'm sure Bloom's exit velocities are elite.:p

    Poll: Rate Your Faith in the Red Sox Front Office

    Following are some quotes from Chaim as laid out in Steve Buckley's piece in The Athletic (link below): “Really, to our fans, loving your favorite team, it’s great moments (but) it’s not always easy,” he said. “And I know we’ve had some ups and downs certainly in the last few years, and I know...

    Do you think that Chaim Bloom came to Boston with a bad rap?

    It certainly was for me, as I've been impressed with Tampa Bay's uncanny ability to field competitive teams on a very constrained budget. I viewed the Rays' FO's 2 greatest skills as: 1) their (seemingly endless) ability to find/develop pitching; and 2) their penchant for savvy trades. I...

    Poll: Rate Your Faith in the Red Sox Front Office

    "Bad faith" in the same manner as repeated assurances that "retaining Xander is our #1 priority" constitutes "bad faith?"

    Red Sox Rumors - Just Kidding

    Per Al Leiter on the MLB Network the other day, the answer is "yes." The gist of Leiter's analysis was that Rodon's finish was more violent/forceful than he'd like to see.
