Big Papi's Mango Salsa replied to the thread March/April: Red Sox discussion, observations and trend tracking...AKA It's not all about the Benjamins.Depends on the year. 2022 they were pretty healthy. Webb and Rodon both started 30 plus. Cobb started 28. Wood started 26. In 2023... -
Big Papi's Mango Salsa replied to the thread SS possibilities going forward.No way is Adames at all realistic. He's paid too much for this year's ostensible budget and I doubt there is any scenario in which the...

Big Papi's Mango Salsa replied to the thread What Was The Red Sox Starting Lineup For Your First Home Opener in Person?.Mine was the 2005 home opener. We shelled out the $400 a ticket to sit in the bleachers, and it was worth every penny. I want to see...

Big Papi's Mango Salsa replied to the thread SS possibilities going forward.If they both had anywhere near the same sample size in terms of at bats (or if Reyes were 25 instead of 30), I would. Reyes is just one...

Big Papi's Mango Salsa replied to the thread The TrevorEnding Story: needs shoulder surgery, out for the year (4/9 update).Exactly. Do not eff with Rafaela’s acclimation by moving him around if they think Mayer is going to be ready in 2025 (if they don’t...

Big Papi's Mango Salsa replied to the thread The TrevorEnding Story: needs shoulder surgery, out for the year (4/9 update).Believe me, I don’t like the idea. I just like the idea of Pablo Reyes for a full season far less. Reyes just is plain old not a good...

Big Papi's Mango Salsa replied to the thread The TrevorEnding Story: needs shoulder surgery, out for the year (4/9 update).Might as well be the first (I think) to suggest it this season, but assuming Story is headed for the 60day, I would like to see Breslow...

Big Papi's Mango Salsa replied to the thread 2024 Lineup (What we actually have - no trade speculation.).Agreed. Watching it live and to me it looked like a good RF actually makes the catch that Abreu didn't, a competent one at least picks...
