Spears

Oh, hello, Nate Spears. Fancy seeing you here. Oh, what’s that with you? Seventeen home runs and a .372 on-base percentage? Well! I certainly do like that…

Yes

Spears has been a pleasant surprise. Any chance he is promoted to Pawtucket next season?

Brentz has more HR than Vitek, so the huge power is there.

He’s hitting .203 right now. Imagine if he can get it together.

That's what non-tender smells like?

“Man, I went to Taco Bell after Jacoby stole that base in ’07 and I think they put some rat-meat or something in my taco. I was in the can non-tendering all night.”

Wait 'til next/this year?

Okajima, needs to rot in AAA.

Please, just get shelled consistently, so we never see him with a B on his head, ever again.

Delgado?

Is he officially done for or is he still playing in the minors?

by UCF Knight and Red Sox on Aug 24, 2010 1:26 PM EDT reply actions  

at this poin, yeah

Im interested in September callups. With Delgado down, Im thinking Lars will be called up.

.176/.221/.257

Fair prediction for Lars if he’s called up?

I don't think it makes any sense to bring him up anyway

He’s a known head case who’s found some success lately, same with Reddick. Keep them down and end their season with Pawtucket. No sense ruining any end of year confidence they might have by throwing them to the wolves of MLB pitching.

True

But Lars will need to be on the 40-man anyways. And they need an extra 1B.
Bates called up then, if not Lars? Lars seems to make more sense

Lars will be on the 40 man, he has to

But I’m not sure it’s worth bringing him up. I think Bates makes more sense because we won’t be potentially crushing his development by killing any built up confidence. If there is one player I want to see end the season on a definite high note to take into offseason training it’s Lars and he won’t get that in Boston.

True on the Lars statement

I wanted Lars beacuse he is LHH and Bates is RHH, though Bates is more versitile and thats what this team needs, he may be a better option. He is Rule 5 eligable as well, but I dont think keeping him is as vital as Lars

If they do put Bates back on the 40 man in place of Lars, he’ll be off as soon as they do need to put Lars on it for Rule 5 purposes. I can’t really imagine anyone trying to take Bates via the draft.
