The Official Boston Red Sox Thread

Rusney Castillo to the Sox for 7/72.5mil

Between all these OF's we should be able to find 3/4 that are decent for next year or put together some pretty decent trade offers at least.

Not saying much given how terrible all of the other teams in the division look on paper.

The three division winners will be Boston,Cleveland and Seattle

 

[Boston Vol]

Good start to the season. Still bearish on the starting rotation, which will probably cost them a shot at the title.

Couldn't have said it better myself

Pitching is awful.

I really hope Kelly is able to put it together and maintain a spot in the rotation

It'll be a surprise if he's not in AAA in a couple of weeks.

This season turned into a disaster rather quickly

Yup, took about 3 weeks. Cherington will fall on the sword but he wasn't calling the shots

 

[Boston Vol]

So long flyin Hawaiian, enjoyed your contributions to the club. Good luck in Anaheim.

 

[Boston Vol]

I've never blamed the problems of the last two seasons on Cherington, but if the Sox can get Dave Dombrowski that needs to happen. Like now

Since he's been a miracle worker with the resources at his disposal.

Welcome Dave

 

[Toujours Pret]

The way Don Orsillo was treated is despicable. Just a taste of things to come IMO, with Lucchino being pushed out and Dave Dumbrowski left to spend money forked over by the hobbyist morons in JH and Werner.

These **** seasons are going to be pretty common moving foward with these jackwagons at the wheel.

 

[Boston Vol]

Agree about Orsillo but that's how Henry and Werner have always operated. Orsillo will land on his feet. Might get a national gig. Disagree with you about Dombrowski.

 

[Toujours Pret]

As pissed off as these Sox have made me over the last few years, Castillo/Betts/Bradley has a lot of good years ahead of them as an outfield unit so long as Dumbrowski doesn't dick it all up.

 

[Boston Vol]

Jackie Bradley Jr, it's about time.

Glad to see Dave get a quick start on pillaging the farm system.

 

[Boston Vol]

Didn't pillage anything. They still have five of their top seven prospects. Farm system still top 3-5 in the majors. Margot is a loss, but Asuaje is a career utility infielder, nothing more. Guerra has a lot of talent but Sox aren't in need of a shortstop for the next decade. Logan Allen has talent but he is years away from the majors.

No need for Kimbrel on a team that needs tons of work.
