Ozzie seriously, this is as bad as running Billy Koch out there when everyone in the US knew he had no gas left in the tank...

Correct. But before we ran Koch out there, we gave him a new contract for $12mm/2 years and letting Foulke go. Way to go Eddie.

Pen arms are the most volatile thing in baseball, and yet we must blame KW for two weeks of a bad pen.

 

Seriously people, it's a cross county road trip and we are barely out of the drive way.

 

LOL, ironically enough we hear this from at least one poster every April and may yet the prediction has come through the last 2 years

I want Rios gone if we're 6 or more games out of it by the trade deadline.

 

Yeah right, not with that contract. He needs to pick it up after that dreadful 2nd half of the year last season.

We'd have to throw in some cash. I still think the Braves would be an ideal fit.

I'd be all for it. Very nice pitch by Pena there to keep us in the game.

you are aware that a an actual CF who can play defense and hit are rare right now? There MIGHT be like 10 actual CF's in baseball right now.

Its April 12.

 

Sox have a better record than the following teams: Twins, Tigers, Yankees and Red Sox.

 

Start of the season has a ton of strange results that you look back on later and say what the hell. Im just hoping that some of this is statistical anomaly and as the season progresses there is a regression toward the mean.

Just need the bullpen and defense to shake the awful mojo they have. A few roster changes need to be made possibly.

I'm very aware. His production doesn't match his pay. If the Braves said give us Rios and, I don't know, $8 million for Delgado or Vizcaino, and another prospect, I'm game.

Are you sure that there arent more than 20 players who are making more than Rios, because my sources say otherwise.

Typical that Rios was one of our players who played well in spring but now has played like dirt since the season began.

Breslow beat out Hong-Chih Kuo for top Jewish pitcher.

Point being? Sox didn't give him the deal. They took a shot two years ago, and Rios was great last year. He's a plus plus defender and is a nice bat in the middle of the order.

 

But yeah, lets trade him and let Jordan Danks come up and show people he sucks.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Apr 12, 2011 -> 09:16 PM)
KW needs to stop trading for a couple years.

 

Then we're stuck with the slop we got.

Perhaps we need someone else to do the trading

For next year, I thought his contract skyrockets.

Teahen is due for a big hit. Over due.

Rios had a monster May. Check his splits. They're not very impressive.

put the xbox controller down.

Bullpen needs to be reconstructed. It can be done internally, but are they willing to eat the contracts of Pena and Ohman.
