At least watching the Celtics should cheer me up.

You know, at this point, I wouldn't be overly upset if I had seen Houck had thrown 5 IP and 1 ER followed by Dwarinzon with a shutout inning, but does Chris Mazza have a place on this team next year? It looks like the Sox are about to open up the scoring too with 2 games left after this. The Red Sox are currently tied for the 3rd worst record. It would be nice if they could just hold onto 3rd. Disappointing they played themselves out of the 1st and 2nd. Is there a clear number 3 in the draft? It would have been perfect to get a top-rated pitcher because I know you don't draft for need, but it would have just fit so perfectly with best available and need. And yeah, I know Chris Mazza has every reason to compete his rear off. I'm not saying I wish he'd purposefully lob fastballs down the middle. Just disappointing seeing him do so well in a meaningless game when he doesn't really have a future with the club. I think there's pretty much no way him and Gonsalves don't get a shot at the starting rotation next spring.

For those of you that are hung up on Rocker or Leiter, how do you know by next year there will be tow different players deemed to be can't miss 1 or 2. You may get Rocker by default. i don't mind seeing them try to win because i trust that Bloom will pick up a decent pick no matter where we pick. i would prefer as high as possible, but i don't control their thinking.

I'm not hung up on those two, but I do know that you're likely to have a better draft with the 3rd overall pick than 5, 6, or 7.

I had no idea that players could opt back in. I had missed Markakis returning.

Next spring you'll have: E-Rod Eovaldi Perez Pivetta Houck Seabold Then you also have Chris Sale returning in about June and that's also not to mention any potential trades or FA signings like Bauer.

I said a shot and Seabold isn't ready. Connor Seabold is going to be 25 next year. Does he really have that much development left? I did also forget Groome, but I think he's 7th or 8th in the pecking order until he shines next season (assuming he shines). I just don't see who he'd push off this list when Pivetta and Houk had looked extremely well in their very limited samplings and the upside they have.

Beautiful first pitch swing by Dalbec. Keep throwing the ball in the dirt and keep on swinging!
