Why the moaning over Frazier? He was not available. Should you cry about Bryce Harper? there was a lot of talk about who we would get. Frazier was a frequent subject of discussions. i thought it might interest some people to see how he's doing so far. if you think that post was crying, you should see me try to watch the end of "field of dreams"

poor control with less velocity the past couple of years, yay! i wouldn't criticize them if they took a chance on moving him.

Bard was broken before the failed experiment, I don't think having a young guy pitch out of the pen at first would ruin him.

I want to watch him play ss here every day for the next 5-6 years.

Not sold on what? That he's going to a .300 hitter from now on? Come on, his approach has clearly improved enough to believe that he can be in the .250-.270 range over a full season.

What would you rather have, Jacoby Ellsbury at $18m a year, or Jackie Bradley plus $17.5m dollars to make up the difference between Bradley and Ellsbury elsewhere? The decision to (not) re-sign Ellsbury has a lot more to do with the MLB pay scale than it does the actual players involved. Exactly this. The drop off to JBJ will be more than made up by being able to use that money elsewhere.

maybe it was just me, but everyone on the field just looked kind of sapped yesterday. that said, Ranaudo didn't look like a guy who's going to be at the top of a rotation. it will be interesting to see how he does at Pawtucket.

Tough conditions in Manchester today, about 89 with 60% humidity at the start of the game. Made it through three innings before the four year old couldn't take any more.

Who has two thumbs and gets to see Ranaudo pitch today? This guy! Hope the weather and my kids let us see more than two innings...

So is Lavarnway also auditioning for a part-time role at 1B/DH in 2014?

I don't like Webster's motion at all. Looks like the ball is really easy to pick up.

Three years ago, Lester pumps it up to 97 in those big at bats. Now he has to dig deep for 93. He is cooked.

That was a really pretty swing from Lavarnway.

Plus that Keith Law - he makes some of the people here who are SO reasonable SO crazy. I mean, like, if you believe he's just wrong all the time then he's wrong here, but it makes you mad that he would even state such a thing because he doesn't, like, even scout these guys hardly enough or at all!? Even worse though, what if you hate/love the Keith Law but you agree/disagree with this? Do you know how much that can turn an otherwise rational brain into a sudden, spinning full-contact congnitively dissonant rationalization machine!?! It would be like if Obama started acting like Bush and was tapping phones and droning people and, uh...eh...AUGHHH!!!! Of course if you don't get worked up at all over chat fodder by one of the plethora of scouts out in the ethersphere then this is all, like, a nonissue. I think my head just exploded. Also, I like Keith Law, there I said it!

yep, that's why he's considered a high risk/high reward guy. sounds like he has a good work ethic and head on his shoulders, will be fun to watch him develop under pro tutelage.

I don't think there's anything that should be polarizing about that. I've read the same on scouting sites.
