    Benintendi talk

    I have not heard anything about Swihart's recovery. I hope the Sox decide which position they want him to play and stick with it. My preference would be for the team to continue his development as a catcher.

    How Good Are The Sox Now?

    I would guesstimate a handful, but I really don't care about what other teams and pitchers are doing in this regard: notice I used the word "prepared". Average is a meaningless statistic by itself because of a SP would almost never pitch more than nine innings, so the range of data would not...

    How Good Are The Sox Now?

    Good observation. I tend to think that JF used the short leash for his starters early on, when the relief core was relatively healthy, because of the reasonable expectation that the starting pitchers would eventually get over the usual early season hiccups and develop some good constancy and...

    Red Sox acquire Drew Pomeranz for Anderson Espinoza

    I would add Kelly, Owens, Johnson, and Rodriquez to the list, and, in a good way, Ortiz, who is willing himself to keep the Sox in contention in his last go-round. You have to respect that. As far as Espinoza is concerned, I tend to think his odds of making it to MLB and succeeding have...

    Red Sox Get Brad Ziegler from Arizona

    I am wondering how Kimbrel got injured. This quote of John Farrell I took from an article by Rob Bradford: The manager added, “Everything that we did early, he was fine. But then felt something while the running was taking place unfortunately during BP while he was shagging. Definitely...

    Sean O’Sullivan (knee tendinitis) to 15-day DL

    I don't see the connection.

    Why is the pitching so horrible?

    From the perspective of winning championships, I find it impressive that in each of the 2010, 2012, and 2014 seasons, of the Giants' predominant starting five, four were drafted by the Giants. For the Red Sox in 2004 and 2007, Schilling was the only pitcher of the predominant rotation who was...

    The Left Field Solution

    Backseat GMing here.....Buccholz to the Angels for Nava. Maybe LA throws in Pujols. I need to cool it on the grappa.

    The Left Field Solution

    I like Holt as a sub, and tend to think pitching is the core issue, especially drafting, developing, etc. Sox really need to do a deep dive there: lots of lessons to be learned from Bard, Miller, Lester &c. Trading for a left-fielder would just be a distraction. FWIW, Pirates are collapsing...

    David Ortiz will retire at end of 2016 season.

    I'm okay with DO retiring. He has made his mark in Boston. Nothing else to prove.

    What's gone right?

    Begin think like Tom Werner: "It's Patriot's Day, David Ortiz' final Patriot's Day, and Farrell is sitting him? Did people come to Fenway to watch another game with the best team NOT on the field? Did they come to watch Clay effing Buccholz, Chris effing Young, Josh effing Rutledge, and Noe...
