Jim Rice Hall of Fame Article

[Bryan Montgomery]

Another endorsement for Rice to be inducted into the hall. And believe it or not its from a lowly Yankee fan. He also wrote a funny piece about replacing Theo. I hope this link works.

I'm not too computer savvy.

This is my first post.

I love the part about replacing Theo

 

My first order of business as the Red Sox GM would be to trade David Ortiz to the Yankees for backup catcher John Flaherty. I would also send young flamethrowing relievers Jonathan Papelbon and Craig Hansen to the Yanks for Ruben Sierra. Then, in a benevolent move, I would ship Jason Varitek to the Rockies and pay 90-percent of his salary. The Rocks need a catcher and are too cheap to pay all of his salary. I would also keep the human distraction called Manny Ramirez and double the lunkhead's salary, sending the Boston payroll through the roof.

Then I'm rather confident I would get fired immediately and my reign of error as Boston GM would last less than 48-hours. But I would have succeeded in my ultimate goal of wrecking the Red Sox.

 

Only thing wrong with that paragraph is that he would not be able to trade Hansen. You cannot trade a player who was drafted by your team until exactly One year after you sign him. So the Sox would be unable to trade him until July --, 2005. But looking beyond that I think its hilarious.

I know. I found that funny. It wasn't a shot at you at all. I was just poking fun at his suggestions.

Lmao, seriously, it DOES look like something you'd do in MVP baseball, seriously. Those s***** ass trades. I do those kinda things all the time, of course once I turn of the payroll. Don't want to pay 20 million for Manny when I can get him for free.
