  1. QUOTE (BigHurt3515 @ Apr 23, 2016 -> 06:12 PM) Honestly I would bring up Sanchez and Smith at this point. This has been mentioned by a couple people; DH Rollins and start Saladino at SS for a couple weeks to see how that goes. Sanchez would be the utility infielder at that point. I'm not opposed to that at all. Looking forward to Smith making his major league Debut, would love for the sox to catch another break out and its in the realm of possibility that Smith pulls a Carlos Ruiz. 27 year old rookie catchers making their debut and contributing isn't crazy.
  2. great AB by Lawrie, in the early going every aspect of his game has been a pleasant surprise.
  3. QUOTE (SCCWS @ Apr 22, 2016 -> 08:36 AM) I don't agree. Sandoval has no trade value. Boston ended up with too many outfielders. Castillo is hitting enough to be playing in the ML but he ended up being 4th on the depth chart when Brock Holt continued to produce. Now Castillo may not be a HR hitting outfielder which may mean Boston overpaid. Rather than keep him 4th they sent him to AAA to play everyday. I think it is a great luxury to have 5 ML outfielders at this point. Boston is desperate for starting pitching so I am sure you will see them trade one of the 5 outfielders + for a pitcher once the dust settles. I hate the Red Sox while living part of year in New England. But I envy the fact that Boston is able to produce positional players on a regular basis. Their everyday lineup is filled by players they brought up except for 1st and DH. All in their mid-20's except for Pedroia. Luckily they are really struggling to produce pitching so they are forced to trade for it or sign free agents. Technically Hanley was a product of their system and got his first major league ABs with them, before being shipped off to Miami.
  4. I think there will be a market correction for Yadiel, after Castillo, Alex Guerrero and Hector Olivera haven't quite delivered yet. Having said that he shouldn't need too much time in the minors to get game ready and he fits the window and need of the sox while also keeping our farm in shape. Late June L - Eaton - RF R - Abreu - 1B L - Hernandez - LF R - Frazier - 3B S - Cabrera - DH R - Lawrie - 2B R - Jackson - CF S - Navarro - C R - Anderson - SS Make it happen.
  5. Sox offense needs to come around, Solid pitching around even if danks was shaky as hell at least he induced 3 DPs. Need Frazier and Abreu to wake up and Jackson to just be serviceable.
  6. and there it is...thanks mlb.tv for the 45 second delay
  7. Trouts going to hit a HR..I Feel it in my bones.
  8. QUOTE (ron883 @ Apr 19, 2016 -> 10:49 PM) Adam Engel is beast! should be very interesting once his BABIP stabilizes around his career norms, glad to see his BB/K rate is at 1 and wasn't fools gold in the AFL. Heres to hoping he gets pushed post ASB to AAA and goes on a tear and gets a cup of coffee with the sox.
  9. Just win the series, offense needs to eventually show up. If Danks is still struggling as others have suggested in a few weeks then pull the hook.
  10. Amazing start to the season, the bats will come around but my god the pitching is incredible. I hope old Latos is back and that dank can just be a 5th starter till reinforcements arrive.
  11. QUOTE (chitownsportsfan @ Apr 14, 2016 -> 03:35 PM) Yea he actually had good stuff today. If he can keep this velocity it's not fools gold IMO. Agreed, nothing I would love more than Latos pitches amazingly this year and the sox lock him up to a deal similar to Kazmirs with oakland or we collect a pick in '17's draft. Sale Latos Q Fulmer Rodon yeah seems good...
  12. Latos pitched well today his Four-seam Fastball was sitting right around 92 and got up and nearly hit 94; Great sign. Avi and his metrics moving in the right direction. Glad to see Todd throwing some leather. Sox are 7-2!!! and Swept the Twins glad we didn't cave and give them their first win.
  13. Nice play, Nice Inning; do you send him out there for the 7th?
  14. QUOTE (SouthSideSale @ Apr 14, 2016 -> 01:46 PM) Anyone know the pitch count for Mat? 80 i believe 50/30 split
  15. QUOTE (SouthSideSale @ Apr 14, 2016 -> 01:37 PM) f***ing ump. Jose got himself out on that. The umps have been terrible this series Yeah, need to continue to overcome that though.
  16. QUOTE (SoxPride18 @ Apr 14, 2016 -> 11:22 AM) With better defense. I've read great things about Engel's defense but Gardner was elite when he was younger.
