The 2006 Boston Red Sox Thread

Saw enough of Choi right here at Pro Player. Not impressed at all. We now have a glut of first basemen, and all have huge question marks. I say just go with Youk and Pena and save the money.

Dunno what they're saying about Lowell. He still plays a mean third base, no?

Why are people saying Snow is done? Is he having injury problems? A horrible spring?

Reports I read is that both Lowell and Snow have looked lost at the plate and out of shape.

I think the Sox had their eye on Choi for a long time because of his high OBP. Plus he's not making a lot of money and is low risk.

Sorry Monster I did forget about Hansen and yes thanks Boras for us getting Hansen and for talking to the Yanks about Damon. All hail Coco!
 
by the way, Finklestein.... ummm... are you playing in any high stakes rotissierre leagues? Small stakes? Anything among people here?

Nah not with anyone here. I play in the same 2 leagues each year: a keeper league and a league with a bunch of my friends.
 
It was another eventful day at the ballpark for the Red Sox. Don't things always seem to get interesting when we play Tampa? What the hell is it about benches clearing with the Devil Rays? I wonder what the punishment is going to be for Tavarez? The guy is a friggen headcase, you can't be throwing punches.. read more about the situation here...

:eek: Tavarez has always had a short fuse. I remember him when he was with the Cubs always having problems with his temper.
 
One word comes to mind:

OWNED :lol:

But seriously how dumb is Taveras? He'll get suspended for at least 10 games. Reports I read say that Craig Hansen might be on the opening day roster now because of the incident. So I guess there is some good news to this.

Also why do the Sox and Rays always seem to fight? I guess people in Tampa Bay have something else to look forward too when the Sox come to town. You can bet that something is going to happen this year between the two teams, it does every year anyway.

Doesn't it?

All we need now is Brian Daubach back in the fold to be target practice for Devil Rays' pitchers. :lol:
 
What about last year when Nixon and Blaine Neal were nuts towards the Devil Rays becuase Kazmir hit Ortiz and Millar on back to back pitches.

This feud is clearly bad and not needed, someone is going to get hurt over this.
 
Tony Graffinano is officially gone. The Kansas City Royals picked him up off of waivers today. Too bad the Sox couldn't find room for him because I would have liked him to be a utility player off the bench for the Sox. Oh well good luck Tony.

Ya, if we had gotten a pick for him that would have been a great move.. Does the FO see something in Cora that I don't see, because other than D I would rather have Graff..

Cora can play all 4 infield positions well, Graff can't. I think Cora is a very good ball player. I think he's underrated with his skills.

watching the Sox and Pirates on ESPN, Schilling is pitching pretty well so far.

Sweet, Schilling has looked pretty good this spring.. If he pitches well, that makes our staff pretty deep..
