I know a lot of you are writing off Lowell by either assuming he's done
or
that he will be gone. I think he'll be back and I think I'm most looking
forward to seeing what he and Cameron will bring to the team this year.
Go
Mikes!

I'd say the Red Sox are better off with Lowell at 3B and Youkilis at
1B than Youk at third and Kotchman at first......but the difference
between Bay and Cameron offensively will be substantial.

I agree. Run Prevention (Code for we are waiting on Crawford) is all well
and good but useless if you can't score runs. The gravy train of sellots
can't last forever and you can't continue to charge the highest ticket
prices for a less than stellar product.

They should still go after Holliday and ask Hermida, Cameron or Drew to
play
1B at least until they figure out how to get A Gonzalez. Kotchman is great
defensively but is a mediocre offensive player

I think that if they can get Aroldis Chapman they'll feel better about
trading Kelly or Buchholz.

It's so hard to tell with the Cuban prospects. Sometimes the crafty
old guys like El Duque are the best bets. Chapman appears to have
great stuff for sure.

You guys had one of the best in the 70s


Perhaps El Tiante could talk with him.
