Yeah, we gotta get Andy Pettite some HGH for Spring Training.
Go back to your own thread guys.

"... which isn't deemed to be serious by the player or the club ... "
My calendar say February 17th ... how about yours?
Yes, very early. Just seems like you guys have been through this once or twice before.
if it was March 17, I'd feel differently ... but I'm sure there are hundreds of guys that are experiencing aches and pains in the first week of spring trianing.
On a side note, Clay Buchholz showed up to camp 13 pounds heavier this year ... I guess he only looks like a thin rail instead of an emaciated model now. He probably could use that muscle, so, I'm thinking this should be good news.

We shall see, I hear you but for someone with back problems getting "shut down" for a few days this early is never a great thing. That said, I am sure he will be fine
I read that it was good news that he put on weight.
Supposedly ... he (dice-K) hurt his leg in the WBC last year, which he didn't let on about. This led to a change in his mechanics which is what hurt his shoulder, the team was pretty pissed he didn't mention his leg issue. I don't think there is a history of back issues with him.
Normally this wouldn't even be discussed, but, becuase he held back the info last year, everyone's chatting about it this year.
All this said, none of this means shit if he can't find the plate and walks 5-6 guys per nine innings. :?

Yeah, I heard the team was mad at him for not saying anything. Never turns out well when they dont say anything.
He definitely has to find the plate or he is not going to be very good.
You and me both, my friend! I think it hit 70 degrees here in SF today.
Aww, your certainly not missing the new england winters!

Something worth mentioning is their bullpen will be most likely be Papelbon, Okie, Delcarmen, Ramon Ramirez, Danny Bard. Familiar faces in familiar roles. It will be interesting to see if Wake fits if Buchholz takes the #5 spot. Is there any way to obtain an additional lefty reliever in a potential Mike Lowell trade? So much has been made of our dynamic rotation going into Spring Training, anybody have thoughts on how the bullpen holds up this year?

I read yesterday (Globe) that Theo stated Mike Lowell will be a big part of the 2010 Red Sox ... so, don't expect him to go anywhere. Supposedly, he's going to work out at first base this spring.

They have that guy shouse, http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/players/p ... yerId=2940 , he's a lefty so I would think he makes the team b/c of that. And I think they are just saying that about Lowell, with the hopes he has a good spring so they can trade him. But I wouldn't mind having him DH against lefties, but who can keep a roster spot open to platoon at DH.

Shouse is a lefty specialst, in the truist sense. 45 apperances, 28 IP. wow, that's the kind of paycheck I want to pick up.
He's also 41 years old ... so, the bottom could fall out real quick.
Not sure if it was forgetten, but, Okajima is a lefty ... his splits last year were pretty bad. Something along the lines of .170 vs lefties, .300 vs righties.

I think somehow we need another reliable lefty, whether it involves trading Lowell or not. Okie isn't perfect, but he's the best we got right now. A second lefty would give Tito more options in the 6th or 7th.

You never know look at some of the other players who were brought up.... Not Too Shabby!!!
Lowell has absolutely not spot on this team, you are out of your fucking mind if you think he is a bench player with a $12 mil contract. Keep dreaming. 1st, 3rd, catcher and DH are clogged. I will admit the Red Sox are better than they were last year but Lowell has no spot on this team.
Bostons pitching is obviously better, offense is no better. I am a huge fan of Mike Cameron and wanted the Yanks to sign him before the Granderson trade but he is not Bay.

Bostons pitching is obviously better, offense is no better. I am a huge fan of Mike Cameron and wanted the Yanks to sign him before the Granderson trade but he is not Bay.
The Sox were going to eat $9 mil of Lowell's contract. Therefore he is basically a $3 mil dollar bench player if they keep him.
With that said I do think we need to trade him at this point, but if we get 'stuck' with him, I don't consider that such a bad thing.

The issue is that Lowell doesn't want to be a bench player. He has been a stand up guy in Boston and I think ownership will trade him so he can get more playing time. Since his contract is up this year its essential for him to get regular playing time to get a contract next year. I think it will be a major issue if he isn't traded and cause tension in the clubhouse. I would be shocked if he was on the team to start the season.
Can't wait for the season to start....Go Sox!

I love the park and I love the drive from the east coast of Florida over pass Lake Okeechobee to the west coast of FL. It's beautiful. Even better when the Sox come over and play at Roger Dean Stadium against the Cards or the Marlins.

Someone might want to inform Mr. DelCarmen that if he throws up another 7+ ERA like he did the 2nd half of last year, he won't see 2011 Spring Trianing with the Sox, let alone 2012.
