PFSIKH Posted April 3, 2016 Share Posted April 3, 2016 ZIp (something from ESPN) projected the Sox to be 84-78. That seems about right. Price is good enough to swing the Sox from under .500 to slightly over. With Swihart, Bogaerts and Betts, have a nice foundation for the next 10 years.

CrazyCarl40 Posted April 4, 2016 Share Posted April 4, 2016 I am much more optimistic about this season than I was the last two. AL East is wide open. They have a chance for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pdxgreen Posted April 7, 2016 Share Posted April 7, 2016 I dont think the rotation is such a sure thing for the Sox after Price. But the bullpen is greatly improved and the offense is steller. Still as a Yankee fan I can only hope they **** up and screw the pooch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CrazyCarl40 Posted April 9, 2016 Share Posted April 9, 2016 If the Sox can get some decent starting pitching outside of Price, their offense and bullpen are good enough to do the rest. Tall task on the starting pitching thus far though. Rodriguez coming back will help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GimmeShelter Posted June 24, 2016 Share Posted June 24, 2016 Bogaerts hitting .351 with 9 bombs, 50 RBI's and 10 SB's. OBP of 401 and Slugging 510. Not bad for the 23 year old. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SenorGato Posted July 4, 2016 Share Posted July 4, 2016 Was randomly checking 2015 draft players....Andrew Benintendi is going to be an absolute hit in Boston when he gets there. Guy has a cartoonish 9% K rate this year and is the kind of LHH that will thrive with the Green Monster, maybe as soon as late this season. That makes up for Bradley Jr. predictably coming back down to earth after his video game May. I wouldn't be surprised to see Bradley Jr. used as a significant piece for a Sonny Gray or some SP along those lines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CrazyCarl40 Posted July 14, 2016 Share Posted July 14, 2016 Sox got Pomeranz. If he can give solid, consistent innings the Sox should be favorites in the AL. Worried about DD giving up too much though. Edit: Heard the Drew Pomeranz deal may be for Anderson Espinoza straight up. Espinoza, 18, is Baseball America's 15th-best prospect. Jesus Dumbrowski hates prospects and building for the future. Terrible trade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SenorGato Posted July 14, 2016 Share Posted July 14, 2016 Espinoza is overrated but Pomeranz was a cooler buy when teams weren't paying anything to land him the past few years. I think this trade will get more pub than it deserves, and I expect overall the Red Sox will win this deal. Michael Kopech is the pitching prospect Red Sox fans should be excited about, and even then **** pitching prospects. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He left that track this year with mediocre numbers in the minors so in a sense, this trade might be the best thing to ever happen to his career. Undoubtedly RSN would have turned on him as he proved to be a mere mortal rather than a future HOF. In SD he has a chance to mature without that kind of pressure and maybe even become a very good SP in time, at his own pace. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
