Forum Post: Two legit MVP and Cy Young candidates!
Been a long time since one team has 2 legit candidates for both spots, but Ortiz and Pedroia, plus Buchholz and Lester may be just that. Hard to choose, but it's nice to have the choice.

This was posted April 8 of this year. Nothing much has changed. It;s stil John, Buch and a lot of luck. My guess is there will be some trades involving AA and AAA hopefuls. Maybe even Iggy of Bradley. more »

Forum Post: Bradley v. Ellsbury
You know that once Ellsbury is dumped, he'll come back to haunt his old team. He'll return to the .300 hitter he was once. The only trade that should be made for him, however, is for a starting pitche more »

Forum Post: I Love Pedroia's aggressive play, BUT-----
Petey, a pop fly near home plate is not your.s; and neither is a fly ball to medium center field. Understanably you trust yourself more than you do your teammates (I would too); but enough is enough. more »
