I've decided if the Sox bring Pods back next year, I'm going to ask to be banned from this site.

LOL at Fathom.

 

Wonder if this dude Stults pitching for the Dodgers will impact whether or not they want to make a move. He pitched a gem against a good (hitting) Rockies team.

All of Ibanez's hits today have been on fastballs...maybe they might want to keep him off-balanced.

Oh please no...he should be a back-up middle infielder. I'd rather have Uribe over him.

 

I think I will back up on that suggestion. His fielding is above average (like Uribe) and his average is 25 points higher than Uribe's, but .............. the guy takes way less walks than Uribe (how could this be possible).

He barely gets extra base hits, isn't exactly young....and just isn't good. He wouldn't be an upgrade at all.

The fact of the matter is we missed, and missed badly, on Pedro Lopez and Robert Valido. At one time, they were considered very nice SS prospects in this organization. Now they are basically turds. I like our situation at Catcher (another suspect position for us) FAR better.

Probably because McDonald is all glove and NO stick. He's one of the absolute worst hitters in the history of the game.

You could have made it simpler and said our minor league offensive talent is the worst in baseball.

TSN naturally features Jay highlights more than most teams. I've seen him make an awful lot of great fielding plays. Still, on second thought, I hope the Sox can do better. Nobody else impresses me in the free agent market though. It's going to be hard for Kenny to find a gem this off season.

 

Rush Hour 3 was awesome, just got back. How was jose?

I suppose so. haha...I do think there are a couple other organizations worse (St.Louis for one). But our situation in the minors with the exception of a couple nice Starting Pitcher prospects is indeed quite ugly.

At least they have Rasmus.

What I like about Wasserman is we actually have a reliever who pitches to contact. Too many of the guys we had to start the year had to throw 10 pitches to every hitter as it got to 3-2 and they'd have to try and get a strikeout.

They do. I think they also have a pretty decent catcher prospect. But they have nothing on our pitching prospects.

 

 

Ehren Wasserman is terrific. This kid has a real idea how to pitch. He won't blow you away with electricity, but I really love what I have seen out of him.

 

Potential Lineup in the 9th inning against Putz

 

-Uribe

-Richar

-Owens

-Fields

-Cintron

 

Against a pitcher with this type of stuff...completely laughable.

How the f*** is that a strike?

I love the kid.

Couple of nice at bats there by Uribe and Richar.

 

Kinda wanted Richar to swing away, but I understand the idea.

But people think Owens is a starter....GMAFB

 

Come on Josh

HAHAHAHHA ALEX CINTRON STEPS TO THE PLATE

 

One of the only times I am not happy Fields walked. What the hell do we do now? Cintron?

The lineup we have right now might be the worst in Sox history (no Thome or PK)

Fields should steal 2nd standing up.
