Martinez would be great. Plus he almost never strikes out. Something many of our hitters can learn.

Exactly! He'd be a good mentor to some of our younger guys and even Abreu.

Exactly. He would definitely help young guys. Instead of them looking at swing and miss master 3 pitch and Dunn.

This team went from exciting to watch to now unwatchable.

Hurry up hockey season.

Sox results are win-win even if they lose.

Wins are fun, but losses mean a better draft pick. If they can draft 4th-ish, or whatever, they can get another almost MLB ready player.

Food for thought:

The Sox are going to have a losing year, again. But I can take relief in the fact that they're not losing because of Sale, Quintana, Abreu, Eaton, Gillespie, and Avi (to an extent). They're not losing because of their core, they're losing from replacement level players and below who can easily be swapped out.

Rumour is Sox are going to go hard for Vmart this offseason.

Vmart has been solid, but is anyone else afraid he'll turn into 2011 Adam Dunn, or 2008 Nick Swisher if he signs?

If he does sign, and he does do well that's a hell of a line-up with Eaton, Abreu, Garcia, Gillespie.

No I don't fear that. I'd love vmart and that lineup would be very nice

Martinez would be great in the middle of that line-up but they MUST bring in at least four damn good pitchers in the off season. The bums that they have now are awful.

Nice to see Hahn unloading the dead wood on this roster.

Next up in the winter is Viciedo & Danks.
