    What should the Sox do with Swihart when Hanigan returns?

    im glad I don't make the decisions for this team because I would basically disregard every variable in this equation besides how much I loathe having to watch Sandy Leon.

    2015 All Star Game Rosters

    Anyone know what KC is doing to promote this level of stuffing? Passing iPads down the aisles at games?

    Hanley ,The Monster, and LF: It's a "work in progress"

    Its obviously because Pedroia doesn't have time for extra fielding work on top of his new duties as hitting coach.

    The Offense

    To be kinda harsh, it is quite a stretch to say they have all-star caliber players across the roster. Papi, Ue and Pedey are the two that impartial fans would probably give us, and the former couple are 40 and the latter had his worst season last year which many interpreted as true decline...

    The Offense

    Eh I still thiink they're getting unlucky with batted balls and timely hitting, on both offense and defense. Their babip is the lowest in the majors on offense, and the pitching LOB% is worst in the majors. You can be beating your pythag with lucky game outcomes and definitely still be getting...

    The Fat Panda Thread

    I never wish for player injuries, but in this case I would be quite happy if his knee never healed. Someone needs to ask him what WOULD it take for him to abandon RH hitting. The first step in making him think reasonably about it is showing him that there must exist SOME point at which he would...

    Napoli: 'I Don't Feel Too Comfortable'

    Or at least change to something "Is Napoli going to have the streakiest season in history?"

    Next man up, err I mean Down: Craig

    I don't want to argue semantics but none of those are "the Red Sox making him miserable". I was thinking you meant benching him full time or sending him to random Venezuelan leagues all winter, wearing a jersey that says "I SUCK" instead of CRAIG, etc.

    Next man up, err I mean Down: Craig

    What does this even mean? Name one thing the franchise could do to Craig to make him so miserable as to forfeit 21 million dollars?

    Next man up, err I mean Down: Craig

    This may be a little off topic, but I'm so happy this is the way MLB contracts work. Boston gets to keep him in the system, give him work in the minors and an opportunity to rebound, and Craig still gets paid without it directly affecting the MLB payroll (I'm of the opinion that Craig's...

    The Fat Panda Thread

    "He's too proud." For the love of God. He looks like he's never swung right-handed before, what is there to be proud of? I don't think you can apply small sample size when its so painfully obvious that his RH hitting skill has simply vanished, because it isn't really a matter of the results not...

    Next man up, err I mean Down: Craig

    I think you're reading that post incorrectly, they said it would have been stupid to turn Ramirez away.

    The Fat Panda Thread

    He can't really do worse can he? I suppose it could mess him up hitting righties, baseball players always find ways to be mentally disrupted by things like that.

    Red Sox fire Juan Nieves

    Yeah, obviously it's just as simple as you make it out to be!

    Red Sox fire Juan Nieves

    In regards to the Tazawa-Nieves confrontation, I do specifically remember him coming off the mound a bit hotter than we've ever seen from him before. After getting the third out of the 7th, he was gesturing/verbally expressing frustration in the direction of home plate and looking exasperated...

    RedSox claimed INF Luis Jimenez off waivers from Milwaukee.

    And not happy with what Weeks has been doing in Pawtucket.

    Evaluating Ben

    Any reasoning system that claiming that the only negative effect of Hanley's defense is turning one play into extra bases is a seriously flawed reasoning system. Guys are scoring automatically from second if the ball is hit anywhere more than 5 steps to Hanley's left or right. I don't think he's...

    Hanley Ramirez hits the ball extremely hard

    Semi-related - despite all of Ramirez's hard contact, leading the league in HR he has a mere .3 fWAR and .2 bWAR. Man I hope he learns to play left a little better.

    Can The Red Sox Survive Their Starting Rotation?

    I'm not sure I follow your reasoning - I don't believe it follows that pitchers get a boost in K/9 because the other team is seeing more PA. They still only get 27 outs, and just because balls in play aren't going for outs doesn't directly mean that K tallies would be higher - you have to think...
