    MLB Draft Thread - 2017

    Agree to disagree again. When I have something to contribute to the forum I will do that. Here is to SOSH regaining its form.

    MLB Draft Thread - 2017

    No I was not impressed with the piece on Tanner Houck or the little bit that has been written about the draft. If that makes me entitled fine. Out of curiosity if someone expresses dissatisfaction with a magazine or newspaper article do you then find them entitled? I am not interested in...

    MLB Draft Thread - 2017

    The draft has been over for a week and we just got our first article on it on the dot com. I am not impressed. It used to be that SOSH was the place to go for Red Sox information. When the draft was on or the day of the trade deadline SOSH was where you wanted to be. Now It appears, though I can...

    Bullpen 2017

    I am surprised they didn't bring up Workman. Does anyone know what happen to Ben Taylor. It says he is on the DL, but I can't find anything regarding his injury. As for Thornburg, yeah that sucks. Not many pitchers make it back from that. That being said the rational behind the trade was sound...

    MLB Draft Thread - 2017

    The dot com is awesome, but I miss the immediacy of the message board when something like the draft is going on. Maybe next year the dot com can do some sort of live chat or something?

    MLB Draft Thread - 2017

    Nope you are not wrong. The draft thread use to be very lively and the best part was, there always seemed to be a couple posters who had a ton of knowledge of the kids that were drafted by the Sox. This actually seems to be something going on all over SOSH as of late and it is a bit worrisome...

    David Price 2017

    This sucks but come on guys. We are looking at a rotation of Procello, Sale, Pomeranz, Wright and Erod. That is not a bad way to start the season. Most teams after losing their ace (if that is indeed what is going to happen) would be in a lot worse shape then the Sox.

    Concerns at 3b. Beyond Pablo...

    The first step is admitting that Pablo Sandoval is the Red Sox starting third baseman to begin the year. Admittedly the first step can be the hardest.

    The off-season

    I going to post a few days ago and if I had I might have looked smart. Procrastination does not pay. If the Sox have 180 million already committed to players in 2017 then that means they have fifteen million to play with. There is not enough there to get a reliever, a bat and still have enough...

    TRADE DEADLINE GAME THREAD

    Question is what else they wanted. If it's JBJ, Moncada, and Kopech, then no thank you.

    Back to Buchholz

    I think it is less likely they stick an inferior pitcher in a playoff rotation, just because he is making thirty Million dollars. This is the team that benched a twenty million dollar player. When playoffs come, they are going to put the best rotation out there, assuming they make it. Also given...

    Back to Buchholz

    I will take issue with the fact that Price is a shoo in. Wright and Porcello are shoo ins. If Price pitches well then yeah, he is our guy, but if he scuffles and Pomeranz and Erod are continuing to do well then Price to the bullpen.

    Beyond 2016 - future needs

    My main objection is that I would rather spend the twenty plus million it would take on the kids or a pitcher in the following off season. I also have concerns about giving that kind of money to a thirty four year old.
