In response to moonslav59's comment: For Drew to end up with a .750 OPS, he'd have to hit about .790 the rest of the way- certainly doable, but I don't see it happening. If Middy wakes up and Iggy kee more »

It's tough to draft catchers. The flame out rate is so high. Giving them more than a 3rd or 4th round pick is generally dangerous. The Denney pick was huge in that they got him signed for $875,000, wh more »

The farm is currently rated #4 in baseball by baseball america if I remember correctly and we just had an exellent draft from all indications. and Xander Bogaerts might be the top rated prospect in ba more »

I believe the Pollyanna thing started this year when I basically coined the term in reference to the original movie of the irrepressible optimist. Moon was pretty down on our chances this year and I w more »

And now with Bogaerts screaming up the farm channel as well. Sawdaye is terrific with the draft IMO and Cherington has been solid as a GM. Got to give them credit. This isn't easy. Signing Denney for more »

Forum Post: RDLR is called up
This should be a great game to watcvh tonight. Ruby is an electric player. Possibly the 2nd best stuff on the staff. He's got the octane plus a tremendous changeup. Let's hope we strike lighting in a more »

Forum Post: Anthony Ranaudo Tonight - Unreal
He ended with 13 punchouts out of 104 pitches. Pretty darn good!
I'm starting to think this guy has a real future and it may not be far away.

Forum Post: The Sox currently lead the MAJORS in OBP, OPS, SLUGGING and RUNS SCORED!
I think it's time we woke up and realize we have as good a chance as any team this year. We are rolling through some tough competition. Papi is an animal! A rampaging Maine MOOSE! Carp, Nava and Igles more »

Forum Post: Victorino activated. Bradley optioned-Right choice?
It's really nice to have JBJ available as injury depth. He can be sent down without losing him. And with our OF, we probably will need him. Have we noticed that Nava never seems to get hurt? Another r more »

In response to moonslav59's comment: Not sure what your watching, but he has most certainly hit the ball better. Hes squaring it up better. Hes got a HR and has hit more line drives as well. His grou more »

Colon may not be there by the time we get there! Let's hope he isn't! I think Iggy has cemented a slot by now, as Cirico's replacement. Ciriaco must know his days are numbered. Hopefully we can get so more »

Forum Post: Red Sox select Trey Ball Thoughts?
Huge disapointment that they didn't get Stewart or Frazier, which sounded possible but turned out not to be, but he is a major roll of the dice in terms of upside. He may end up a huge upside, mega st more »

Forum Post: Just heard something interesting
It was encouraging that his HR yesterday was to CF. He needs to wait longer before swinging and take the ball the other way more often.

Forum Post: What the "play the rookies every day now" advocates are forgetting . . .
Overall, Max is on target. It is great to have low cost injury back up sitting in AAA when needed. It is very important to have guys you can send back and forth between the minors without losing contr more »

When a guy is projected to cost his team 17 runs defensively at catcher alone, as compared to an average catcher, that is a huge data point. Assuming an opposing team with average MLB run production s more »

Salty is currently hitting. Good for him. Now let's trade him and be done with it.

As of this moment, Salty has the worst dwar of all starting catchers in baseball. dwar is overall defensive value. Salty's is currently negative by the largest amount in baseball for a catcher: http:/ more »

Then again, the same catcher caught largely the same staff last year to an ERA of around 5. There is really no reason to think Salty has arrived defensively other than coincidence. According to the me more »
