    Time for a rebuild?

    I think I should issue a mea culpa on the full rebuild. I do understand the difficulties inherent in rebuilding and maybe 4 6 3 DP is right and this conversation should be shelved after the Playoffs. That being said I do think Plympton is right. A retooling might be necessary. If the Sox get...

    Time for a rebuild?

    That was said tongue in check. I am sorry did I miss some sort of SOSH protocol? I get why this idea would not be popular, but I am not getting the hostility. Is that how people generally act on SOSH? Either way when the Sox win the wild card next year I will be rooting for them, I just think...

    Time for a rebuild?

    I apologize if I wasn't clear. Most big market teams are built through draft, trades and free agents. So any team the sox would build would be centered around those. Guys like Pom and Kimbrel have one year left and other guys such as Sale, and Xander have two years left. Since I think it is...

    Time for a rebuild?

    I actually would advocate trading for prospects in order to maximize length of control. The Sox are still a big market team so they can obviously supplement the new core with free agents. This is less about the Sox being a really bad team and more about the Sox not being good enough. Obviously...

    Time for a rebuild?

    Nice straw man

    Time for a rebuild?

    I understand a lot of people will scoff at this, but enough people have responded positively on the game thread I thought I would see how it would do on the main board. This team as currently constructed is a good team, but not in the same league as the Astros, Indians or the Yankees. They very...

    JD 2.0

    The issue is if not JD Martinez then who? Yeah he is going to be expensive, but do we really want to waste a year of sale and the last year of Pom and Kimbrel hoping the current players can take a step forward offensively? I think this is going to need yo be priority number one for DD

    JD 2.0

    I think he is going to be the starting left fielder for the Sox next year. Even though it would be ideal to trade Hanley, I think he is unmovable. So I think JBJ is playing his final games with the Sox

    Arizona Fall League Sox Players (a couple surprises)

    Thank you. I thought he was injured which is why he was not recalled. It is kind of curios that they didn't recall him though.

    Arizona Fall League Sox Players (a couple surprises)

    Did he give a reason? This seems like a good way to piss off your employer

    Locking Up the Killer B's

    A couple of things here. First off Xander had an ops north of 800 up until the point he got hit on the hand. He now sucks, but doesn't that seem likely to be because he got injured? I don't get the get rid of Xander crowd. It seems very likely he will be back to his old self next year. That old...

    Offseason 2017/18

    Excuse me disappointing. Glad to see anal retentiveness is alive and well.

    Offseason 2017/18

    There is a thread devoted to a Yankee player trash talking the Red Sox and who the worst player on the team is and this is a stupid thread? To each their own I guess, but if you don't like it then go find something productive to do with your time. It astounds me that people take time out of...

    Offseason 2017/18

    It seems the Sox need to add more power to the lineup. It seems likely that there can be a bounce back from Xander and Mookie. Xander’s production took a nosedive when he injured his hand and it wouldn’t be surprising if this season were a blip in the road for Mookie. Given his past couple...

    Red Sox acquire Eduardo Nunez

    Would dhing Nunez and moving Hanley to first make sense?

    What will D-Dom do before the trade deadline?

    Maybe there needs to be another thread started that is devoted to Moreland's foot?

    Who's on Third? I don't know

    what would an equivalent package look like from the Sox?

    Who's on Third? I don't know

    He has been back for two days. How has he been killing them at the plate?
