Comment on Boston Red Sox Considering a Trade for Hunter Pence? by M. Ryan G

I think Hunter Pence would be a good piece for the Red Sox because the price for Beltran is probably going to be moonball high, even for an organization like the Red Sox. Or maybe he could be useful fallback should they try and fail at Beltran.

Comment on POLL: Which Player Can the Red Sox Least Afford to Lose to Injury? by byron bates

Crawford has been pretty much of a bust. But leave him in the line-up. Move Redick to RF if they must but they can’t not have Ellsbury’s bat and glove in the line-up. I think they’re fine in the outfield as is. What would a trade accomplish?

Twins are saying they won’t trade Cuddyer. So I guess that means to get him they’ll have to be blown away.

Comment on Jonathan Papelbon is Not an Elite Closer by Chris

Ah, no William Burke,
There are a lot of closers out there that management would rather have than Papelbon at this point. He has been much more hittable these past two seasons mainly because the movement on his pitches has been much less. In fact, the Sox were thinking of trading Paps to the ChiSox or A’s. Right now, Bard is a better pitcher and I would not be surprised to see Paps being let go at the season’s end, or force him to sign a contract for less money. Being a gutsy player that is competitive and never accepts defeat is not good enough. Every player at the professional level has that attitude because this is what they do to make a living. A player can give 100% all the time, but if he cannot perform as he should, then he will not be in the league for long.

Are you kidding, He has something not many pithers have,,,,,He is a gutsy player that does not accept defeat….Ask the manager if he would prefer another closer, I believe he would say no….Because of competitive attitude ever since he came up to the red sox…

If you were to give me a pick of players to come through wtih a hit it would not Ortiz or Gonzales. Reddick, Scutaro or Pedoria would be my line up to choose from in that order.

To be perfectly honest, I felt bad having so many Red Sox hitters in a row. Howard actually fields a position and he’s their biggest offensive name, so I gave him the nod. You’re right though, Ortiz has had a better year.

Howard at DH and Ortiz on the bench? Ortiz is having a far better season.

Wally would definitely be the back up mascot, no questions asked

This team would be better off with polanco as the closer… pabelblow can suit up as Wally… Actually he can come off the bench as the Philly fanatic
