I'm sorry to see Tavarez go: Really I am!
OregonSoxFan found this 1 month ago on
I'm the type of guy, and maybe this isn't why i'm cut out to be a GM, I'm one that looks at the whole, and not just at the current performance of a player: To Me Tavarez has been a really good guy to have in the Pen, and has done us well especially last year, had some good key spot starts, and didn't get us too deep in problem, but I guess I just hate to see such a "GOOD GUY" go. . .

I know I know. . baseball aint about good guys, but about good players, and utilizing your talent TODAY and for tommorow, and making moves that will help you out in the long run, and I have faith in Theo for making the right decisons.

I am human, and I admit, there's one issue on the team that I did react to how someone is doing lately and not overall, and since then I have concurred with a lot of people, that trading said (last years starting CF) for a pitcher, might not be the best idea, and have 4. . to let them break regularly. so Yes I'm human, Yes i was wrong time to time and Yes i do make mistakes (ok folks, mark this down).

BUT, I do not envy Theo for having to let a guy like Tavarez known, yes He's played on almost every MLB team, but he was the epitome of the sox, team player, there when we need him, and he was nails last season on occasion and did what he had to. I mean come on, he's one of the WORLD champions!

So My Rant is done, sorry.... I will Miss ol JT : ) BUT. . BRING 'EM ON it's BASEBALL SEASON BABY.... Let's Go Red Sox! Repeat in 08

I was a huge fan of tavarez during the 04 world series

I'm not afraid to admit I'm a Crazy Julian fan myself. He hasn't been perfect but he's never been boring. Fare thee well Julian Tavarez. (Now I pray to God that this doesn't come back to bite us if we have another starter or two go down and we could have used Julian)
Good point Atom, Julian did help us win Game 1.
in all seriousness, i am a fan of him too. i like ballplayers with character, and tavarez is hilarious. between pointing, receiving scalp massages, and his post game interviews, he is one of the funniest pitchers we have.

Now who can forget Manny with his pet Tavarez!!
I wondered why they re-signed him when Francona seems to have little use for him. I can only assume that he was here to provide some insurance in the event Jon Lester or Clay Buchholz had too many problems. I wish the man well.

We will miss you JT .. captain mop up
red sox ..
JT will do just fine, but I agree, I'll miss him. At first signing I didn't like the move too much, it was cost effective, but I wasn't the biggest fan. Then, he got here - and I couldn't help but smile. Good luck Joolz. We'll be watching.
Moooooo
