  1. I have made this point several times. He has played a better left field than advertised. He has made the routine play and several that bordered on darn good. Calling for the ball might be another issue.
  2. Boston works with the outfielders. Learning the proper technique to call for the ball is baseball 101. Disgusting!
  3. Richard Justice was quoting Earl Weaver today on MLB. "If you get the guy you want when you are trying to win the World Series...the price you pay doesn't matter." Colome and/or Bummer can get a haul from the Dodgers.
  4. I would like a manager who gets mad when the team plays like crap.
  5. Colome might be looking good in Dodger Blue. That's an organization that could afford an overpay.
  6. If you are saying they couldn't play worse than they currently are...I agree.
  7. Anyone watching these last 5 games would have no problem believing this.
  8. Estate planning has more to do with Jerry's selling than anything else.
  9. When you have 25 guys to work with... the law of averages would have a couple of them improve if your only contribution is saying good morning to them. Although I would agree Steverson hasn't been given all stars...isn't improvement expected in every players approach. I'm not the worlds best golfer but I wouldn't keep paying the golf pro for lessons if I didn't start playing a little better.
  10. I like Abreu but he is not one of those type people. A contract of 2 or 3 years at about 12 million per would be fine with me. If he doesn't take whatever offer the Sox are offering than trade him. Empty handed at the end of the year doesn't work for me.
  11. Pitching has been an embarrassment-fire Cooper *** Hitting is pitiful - fire Steverson *** Outfielders running into each other - fire Boston *** All of this going on under Renteria so you obviously get rid of him. Maybe it's time for a hard ass guy like Joe Girardi. This mentoring nice guy stuff is not showing results on the field where it counts.
  12. Might as well call up Engel. He just might be our best hitter currently.
  13. These 5 games have really taken the wind out of the balloon. Beyond disgusting.
  14. Dick Allen...AJ...maybe we should target this type of player.
  15. Watching these last five games I would be confident you couldn't win 55 games with any pitching staff. Offense has been nonexistent.
  16. Anyone watching this team since the ASB would bet money this team doesn't have 20 wins. Beyond awful.
  17. If Colome / Bummer is considered to be the missing ingredient on a championship caliber team...Hahn will extract a very good return. Hahn is very good at this when he has something to sell.
  18. Decent part time player. Wrong fit with this team IMO.
  19. Add Jose Rondon to your bag of balls list.
  20. Sale was often criticized for his "sure to cause injury" violent motion.
