you guys have a hell of a defensive ball club. Cedeno played great at SS and your LF + CF combo covers a lot of ground.

This team isn't flashy or sexy, but they know how to win. Look at the stats and you would think the team should be 4-8 or somewhere close to that.

Dear Theo Epstein
I have a question about what you meant by run prevention, did you mean that for your team offensively?
Thanks

It's been two weeks. Epstein is the best GM in baseball not named Jack Z, stop trying to demean him.

I beg to differ. He does not do that much great things with the wallet that he gets to work with.

Two world series titles in less than 7 years as well as a strong farm system and a talented major league team, with only one truly bad signing (Lugo).

I'm getting soooooo sick of Justin Morneau. I don't care if you guys think clutch exists in baseball or not, he strikes out at least 50% of the time when we need a hit.

Boztun Sux.
But really, they do. The offense is just not there, guys like Ortiz aren't worth **** anymore. We're holding on to our ties of old and it's holding us back. As I said in an earlier post, they need to cut ties with about 90% of the team, and move forward.

That's complete ********. The only person they should lose is Ortiz and maybe Varitek when he goes on his decline in a few weeks.

Yeah I didn't really mean they're like Nationals bad, but this team just looks weak. Lester not having his **** together hurts, but the back end of the rotation sucks and the bullpen hasn't been good either.
I also am not particularly fond of Varitek, Ortiz, Scuatro, Beltre, Cameron, and some others. It seems like we don't go for the big names anymore, so it's just sort of frustrating to see them struggle with some of these guys in the lineup.
I don't follow baseball super close, so I don't know what FA options were like this off-season, but I find it hard to believe that we couldn't upgrade defensively at catcher or do better than Scutaro and Beltre.

Beltre and Cameron were one year defensive upgrades. Give it some time.

It appears as if Ike Davis will soon begin his assault of the major leagues.

If by assault you mean six years of mediocrity then I totally agree.

Davis is more than mediocre. I don't know why everyone is hating on him. He has a bad short season ball and ever since then he's hit everywhere. He's still improving also against lefties and cutting down his strikeouts. Haters gonna hate I guess.
