Honestly, I didn't read the whole thread. I'm just going to say that we as Sox fans have been spoiled by SS's over the last decade. Ramirez is absolutely fantastic defensively. He's so good that he makes Beckham look good. He has so much range up the middle and such a strong arm that it allows Beckham to cheat and make up for his lack of range. Ramirez really does make the tough play look routine. The only thing that frustrates me is that he's scared of contact so much that it hurts our pitcher's ability to hold runners. Anything he gives us with the bat is a bonus. He also happens to be a solid hitter, that hits better in RBI situations. He's the least of our problems.

Defensively, Beckham looks like one of the top 5 2B in baseball with or without Alexei.

QUOTE (Marty34 @ Mar 9, 2013 -> 02:50 PM) To build a case that someone is a racist and not directly call them one is a very cowardly thing to do. I built a case that you are selectively biased, but not necessarily racist. Those two particular words are commonly confused or interchanged, but definitely not synonyms by any stretch of the imagination. In this particular thread, I wasn't the one who opened up that particular discussion, nor your Horatio Alger/Ayn Randish-defense to begin the other thread.

You left an out in case you were called on it. You're still a coward. |

A courageous act would be for you two to take this flamewar to PM and stop wasting people's time who think there might be worthwhile discussion in this thread.
As for the Cardinals - Sox should deal for Allen Craig and then I will masturbate. |

I'm floored that you are equating painting me as a racist to what I think the prospects are for the Sox over the next two years. I thought I had seen it all tying racism to jersey sales . . . |

After being called Joe Cowley, being called racist is a step in the right direction.
