interesting draft, seems like anybody can go anywhere and it's not even because of signability.
That's mainly why I hope they take a bat. It's a crap shoot. Roll the dice on a guy that could be in the lineup for 10 years.

There are some miserable people here today. Get off of the computer and do something more productive than complaining!
Or you could just go away and not have to read anything.

1. Robin Ventura is nice guy, great sense of humor - not a MLB manager.
2. Melky... WTF is going on.
3. Abreu... decent but his last two bats today were jokes.
4. .145 avg 2nd basement.
5. Shark... I really hate him at the moment he was great against the sox ... now we get him and he is a steaming pile.
6. Danks and Noesi are meat...
7 Avi has potential... but his approach is childish at the plate like many of our hitters.
We don't coach like pros, we don't play like pros, we don't look like pros..
From top to bottom.
BUT THEY HAVE FUN, AND THE CLUBHOUSE IS GREAT!
That's all that matters.

So should we get rid of flowers too?
I guess I need to say it every time--once you get busted while you're in the union, you're dead to me.
I can forgive youthful stupidity, but once you're a grown up in the majors, no more.

I hate playing them 10 times in the first 2 months. Spread out the damn games
Yeah this year, they went 8 of the first 10, and 8 of the last 10 series in the division, with 8 of the middle 32 series.
So basically weeks 6-21 is a balanced league schedule of about 100 games.
If there was a ever a deal on the table for Samardzija in spring training, thank god he didn't sign. It's an easy decision already to let him walk without discussion.

I wouldn't be opposed to that either, but I think pitching is a bigger priority for the Sox at the moment.
I mean, you can never have too much pitching, but they need bats...and a guy who's kind of a natural hitter intrigues me.

I really hope the Sox get Jay. I want nothing to do with Fulmer or Harris. Tate would be ok, but I don't know a ton about him.
What about just rolling the dice on a bat like Benintendi?
