QUOTE (SoxPride18 @ Oct 23, 2014 -> 12:35 PM) Did you watch any Sox games this past year? QUOTE (shysocks @ Oct 23, 2014 -> 12:56 PM) Systems disagree on him drastically. Just looking at the Fangraphs leaderboard, Eaton is 21st in DRS and he's the only guy in the top 50 with a negative UZR. Gordon Beckham is the next one at 59th. That's exactly why I asked. Thanks, shysocks

QUOTE (SoxPride18 @ Oct 23, 2014 -> 12:35 PM) Did you watch any Sox games this past year? I know he made highlight plays, but I mean statistically.

Was Eaton's defense really that good?

Wouldn't it make more sense if he had voted for Adam Eaton? He only played 66 games in 2013 so I don't know if he qualifies as a rookie.

The Semien thing is funny. And yes, Beckham won this in 09

QUOTE (LDF @ Oct 15, 2014 -> 10:09 PM) what are your opinions on these possible pickup on the free agents? Edinson Volquez, Andrew Bailey, Jason Grilli, Burke Badenhop all pitchers who might be a buy low with high rtn. yes, no, no, maybe If Volquez is available for the right price, we should go for him. An incosistently above-average RHP to break up the lefties

Do we know when awards like Cy Young, ROY, GG, etc. will be announced?

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Oct 15, 2014 -> 12:12 PM) If it just happened, odds aren't very good that he is able to be on a MLB roster by April 1m, 2015. Really? It took Abreu 3-4 months.

Markakis, Eaton, and Avisail is actually a decent defensive outfield. Isn't Markakis a gold glove RF though (not LF)?

Alex Rios anybody?

He's also a gold glover at 1B.

"Multiple media sources are reporting that Washington will decline Adam LaRoche's 2015 option." Should we give him a chance? He's 34, so hopefully on a 2 or 3 year deal, and he's that LH 1B/DH we'll need.

QUOTE (Joshua Strong @ Oct 9, 2014 -> 12:32 PM) I think Tomas is going to San Diego I agree, that's what all the reports are saying.

QUOTE (SoxPride18 @ Oct 9, 2014 -> 12:26 PM) If Sox do manage to get Tomas and stick him in LF, I think adding Cargo would be even more beneficial because it gives you another OF that could spell Garcia or Tomas to fill in at DH, and the lefty bat we are looking for. CF Eaton SS Ramirez 1B Abreu DH Gonzalez LF Tomas RF Garcia 3B Gillaspie 2B Semien C Flowers That's a pretty damn good line up. Who is Gonzalez? Andy Gonzalez?

QUOTE (StRoostifer @ Oct 8, 2014 -> 08:24 PM) Q for Puig!!! Buy your Puig jersey now Sox fans! Puig, Abreu, Ramirez, Viciedo, Nieto. Sign Tomas... try and do everything we can to sport an all-Cuban lineup

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Oct 6, 2014 -> 09:40 AM) It originates with the mentality of "We're the Red Sox, we can have whatever we want." It's a very arrogant personality trait true of many Red Sox fans. Frankly though, it's true of a lot of sports fans in general. To name a few: Red Sox, Yankees, Dodgers, Lakers, Celtics, Patriots, 49ers... basically the big market East/West coast teams.

The "trade Chris Sale" discussion has always been controversial here on SoxTalk, and while I would never trade him, the offer this Boston fan proposed is insulting.

Now what?

QUOTE (fathom @ Oct 5, 2014 -> 03:04 PM) I've never seen a dumber special teams group. They have no clue what they're doing out there.

QUOTE (Soxfest @ Oct 5, 2014 -> 02:23 PM) Bears going to play any defense this half. yes

QUOTE (SoxAce @ Oct 5, 2014 -> 02:15 PM) Marshall with another bone crushing block. Awful call. And another awful call on roughing the passer. What is football? It was because he flexed afterwards

Why did I bench Greg Olsen for Martellus Bennett...

Bennett, Gould, and the idiot from that punt return are the only 3 players I'm disappointed with so far.

QUOTE (MexSoxFan#1 @ Oct 5, 2014 -> 01:13 PM) The 2006 Bears D? Apparently. I spoke too soon, but Carolina was driving without any problems there.
