    How can you add Ellsbury?
  2. schillingouttheks
    Depends on the circumstances. If Hamilton would approve playing in Boston, then yeah. Otherwise I'm not trading for a great player who acts like a douche bag if I'm not convinced he changes his tune.
  3. schillingouttheks
    I would like him but it would never happen.

    You can't really have a fire sale in a fantasy league. Prospects don't count for much, lol.

    Holy crap. That's really cool. I will definitely be tuning in. Thanks guys, and welcome to the board! I may just make a call... we'll see. What's the number? And more importantly, is it toll free? I kid.

    Is it just me, or am I remembering Tito doing something similar last season due to our lead-off hitting woes?

    Ohhhh okay I thought you mistakenly thought they were in our system. If we brought all that back I have a feeling no one would be complaining. Agree 100%. Instead of worrying about overpaying during the off-season, we got a very good left fielder who is signed through 2009. I think while in Boston, Hansen and Moss are a bit overvalued. Don't get me wrong, they're talented in their own right, but Moss had nowhere to play everyday and Hansen, like someone said, would turn out to be a "talented bust". $7M for Bay in '09 isn't bad at all and we get that $12.5M to spend this off-season elsewhere. I don't think one can evaluate the trade solely form a financial standpoint - when all things considered together, the Red Sox did pretty damn well for themselves. I do feel like maybe they could have netted Grabow in addition to Bay, but I'm really not complaining about anything.

    Pittsburgh got them.

    I'm with you on defending the trade. I understand that releasing Manny at the end of the season would have freed up more money, but I believe you have to couple the amount that is freed up with the fact that we have a pretty good left fielder signed through next season at a reasonable price. Besides, I do believe that Bay will give us at least the same production that Manny would have for the rest of the year, if not more. On the defensive side, we upgraded tremendously. Offensively, an unhappy Manny vs. Jason Bay is at least, IMO, a wash. If the players were really so worried about Manny quitting on the team, then I buy into their concern. Not only did the Sox make the best out of what was a very bad and tough situation, but I feel like they pulled off a trade that was more beneficial to them than most people realize.

    Ignoring the fact that I do believe Jason Bay gives the Red Sox more than what an unhappy Manny would give them for the rest of this season, people tend to overlook that the Sox freed up around $12-13 million in spending money for this off-season. That in and of itself makes the deal worth it because we still have Bay locked up through 2009 - he is obviously more than capable of contributing to this team's success. We have LF taken care of for next year while gaining quite a bit of spending money. Sounds good to me.

    He's definitely doing it on purpose now, yez.
  12. schillingouttheks
    What a game, what an atmosphere. I still can't believe I was there tonight. Now it's time to pass out. Shut the f*** up, Bostonownsyou. Just had to get that in there.
  13. schillingouttheks
    Hunter contributed pretty well to the reaming the Yankees are getting. Almost as much as the reaming we took this week.
  14. schillingouttheks
    So that means that technically the Yankees could be douche bags and block a potential claim, correct?
  15. schillingouttheks
    lol, everyone is going bat s*** in the Twins/White Sox game. Umps are in the stands, Ozzie pulled his team off the field, Ozzie's yelling at some fans, fans throwing s*** on the field. Wow.
  16. schillingouttheks
    Can someone explain to me how waiver deals are completed? I know there is still a window of opportunity for the Sox to grab a reliever via this course of action, so I want to be clear on the guidelines.
  17. schillingouttheks
    12-3 Angels. Bottom 9. They are a scary good team.

    Were Farnsworth and Girardi crying after the game?
  20. schillingouttheks
    I third the sentiment regarding the Pittsburgh package vs. that of Florida. And Beckett95 - IIRC, the Dodgers backed out of those talks for some reason. Kemp would have been the best we could have expected in return.
  21. schillingouttheks
    Yes, Inge would be my guess.
  22. schillingouttheks
    I just want this to be over. I'm getting sick of it, and apparently the team is too. When all is said and done, I want Manny in LF. He's being a huge dick throughout this process, but he belongs here. If he wants us to let him walk in the off-season, fine, but until 2008 is over, this is where he belongs. Thinking that I have seen Manny play his last game in a Red Sox uniform almost makes me sick. Bay and Grabow will not make up for the void.
  23. schillingouttheks
    I would mind Favre going to the Jets. I think they make the playoffs with him.
  24. schillingouttheks
    I thought you were already way past that point.
  25. schillingouttheks
    Manny Ramirez himself is enough. We're talking about one of the best RHH baseball has seen in quite some time. Then again, I'm just so f***ing irritated with so many aspects of this team right now that my judgment is pretty clouded as it is.
