Default *Red Sox thread* News, views, and love for the front office

Paluka asked me if I was going to start a thread for the boys, and since he didn't take me up on my request that HE do it, here it is! Use this thread to discuss news, your views on the recent happenings, and anything else related to the good guys.

Hopefully to change things for last year, please dont attack posters in this thread if you hate the Sox or are just a moron in general. Hopefully Sox fans can behave themselves and not attack the threads for other teams on here.

ENJOY!

Default Matt Clement

Does this end the debate over whether getting hit in the head ruined him?

No it doesn't. Clement has great stuff but can't seem to be able to put 2 good halves of a season together.

what does that have to do with him getting hit in the head? [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]

when clement pitches well is of little concern IMO. a soild outing in april is just as valuable as a solid outing in september.

yeah. Wrong response. thought you were saying the reason he sucked in the 2nd half was because he got hit in the head. I'm saying that's just his general history. Nipper will straighten him out though. [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

I'm hoping for the best and expecting the worst this year. Toronto is so much stronger than last year, even the D Rays are better than before, and the Evil ones totally reloaded.

The health of our pitching staff, as it usually is for most teams, is hugely crucial. If Beckett can avoid the whole blister situation and Schilling stays on track, we'll be right there. If not, I dunno...

After five days, I really think I'm going to like Coco Crisp a lot. And I also think Wily Mo is going to do some things.

I think your assessment of expecting the worst is an acceptable view to have, but after Schillings performance against a stacked offense I would think you would be more optimistic. Granted its only one game, but he is the key to the season I think.

Toronto's improvement is vastly overrated and the NYY staff issues are vastly underrated IMO. Sure the Yankees can rake, but what matters is the difference in runs scored vs allowed. There is just too much optimism considering the hurlers after the front two. Also overlooked is the fact that the Red Sox APPEAR to have more depth/mid season flexibility.
