I'd like to extend this dicussion to the bullpen too...here's my 2 cents: First off I do not believe the yankees are the better team, we made moves within the organization calling up a few player's (Delcarmen, Papelbon) that will contribute big now and in the playoffs we have curt shilling coming back into the rotation soon I think you might know him also the combo of myers and bradford will do some damage in my opinion dont sleep on these two

we are not gonna get anything, the yankees are gonna block anything that might happen

duncan is stinking up the joint in AAA right now, guarantee he gets traded as long as steinbrenner is at the helm. in fact most of the guys you mentioned will get traded except hughes....still feel lester is better than hughes....he threw a CG yesterday in AA...he is going to be special.

LESTER GOES THE DISTANCE IN PORTLAND'S 4-2 WIN OVER NEW BRITAIN Lester's First Career Nine-Inning Complete Game Gives Dogs Fifth Straight Win 08/01/2005 Jon Lester tossed his first career nine-inning complete game, a 104-pitch nine-hitter with six strikeouts, as the Portland Sea Dogs won their fifth consecutive game with a 4-2 win over the New Britain Rock Cats before a sellout crowd at Hadlock Field on Monday night. Jeremy West and David Murphy added home runs for the Sea Dogs, who beat New Britain at home for the sixth time in seven games. Lester allowed a runner in every inning, but was economical with his pitch count. Lester threw fewer than 10 pitches in five of his nine innings. The lefty fired 104 pitches, including 65 for strikes. He fanned six, walked three and hit two batters. West hit a solo homer off Glen Perkins in the second inning to give the Sea Dogs a 1-0 lead. After Denard Span tied it with an RBI single in the third, Murphy went deep over the wall in right field following a Chris Durbin double to put the Dogs ahead for good. West added a sacrifice fly in the sixth inning to close the scoring. Lester earned the Allied Home Mortgage Big Dog of the Game award for the ninth time this season. Notes: Lester is the first Eastern League pitcher this season with three complete games this season -- the first two were seven-inning games...Murphy extended his hit streak to 10 games -- he has nine extra base hits, eight RBI and nine runs scored during the streak...Sheldon Fulse doubled to extend his hit streak to a season-high eight games...Anibal Sanchez (2-1) looks for his third straight win Tuesday night at 7:00 against Nick Blackburn (1-2).

Well, well, well.... DLowe is creating his own news in LA and I don't think it's the kind he wanted.... the proverbial s*** has hit the fan

this is the best free agent site I have found....http://www.mlb4u.com/freeagent.html I know its a bit early but I am bored and have nothing to talk about... but heres who I see us look into getting: Starting pitchers: AJ Burnett Jarrod Washburn Kevin Millwood Kenny Rogers Ted Lilly Jason Schmidt (if option is not picked up) Relief Pitchers Kyle Farnsworth- RHRP since Timlin is a FA BJ Ryan- LHRP since myers is a FA CJ Nitkowski Mike Timlin Mike Myers Closers Bob Wickman Billy Magner Matt Mantei 1st Basemen Paul Konerko Mark Sweeney Dmitri Young (if option is not picked up) 2nd basemen Tony Graffanino Placido Polanco 3rd basemen Bill Mueller OF Carlos Lee Gabe Kapler Jacque Jones Johnny Damon Moises Alou Re-Sign THEO!!!!! most of the OF players are just a dream, and youk and pedroia (though I wouldnt mind placido palanco) will most likely be playing their respective positions, but I think we need to sign 1 or 2 starters, and BJ Ryan and Kyle Farnsworth to help the bullpen. and I would love to have konerko or young at 1st next year.

ooops. sorry about that, typing too fast

Here's hoping he gets well soon and has a speedy recovery

Yeah I believe you...I'm not saying hes bad or hes sucks, he just has a funny name

papelbon threw last night vs radke, who is a good pitcher. papelbon went 5 1/3 inings, 4 hits, 7 SO, 2 ER.....I think that's a pretty good ML debut

i think he will be back either the end of this month or september

I totally agree with your analysis. they don't know if wang or brown are gonna be back either. and pavano and wright sucked when they were in NY this year anyways.

did he? hmmm I don't remeber that....source?

read it in the NY Post- Monday or Tuesday, don't remeber which, but it was a legit rumor.

FOX said we have the 2nd best farm system in the AL East, you have the 5th as in last.

let's hope raffy doesn't have a press conference like Gee-I'm-Big had. "I'm sorry........I'm sorry......I'm Sorry....." speaking of Giambi- TEST THE CHEAHER!!!!

lol....I also heard that the yankees were gonna trade eric duncan (their 2nd best prospect) for derek lowe (not even kidding) hmmm first embree, now lowe so you're picking up guys that weren't even good enough to be on the "red sux"

Makes it even more impressive, because Theo is not under contract next season, and he is getting offers for a lot of $$$$ from other teams and turned them down, but the red sox do not want to "negotiate during the season." I think Theo will be back, who wouldn't want to be GM of the team you grew up watching and you love. Hopefully Georgie Porgie won't try and get Theo, but I have confidence that Theo wouldn't turn his back on RSN just like that. I have faith that Theo will be back in the Red Sox Front Office Next Year!

don't forget about may, redding, leiter, and chacon....and henn too

welcome!

hey at least the yankees aren't the #1 loser! ....but in my book they are!

since when was sliced bread ever so great? i agree about cruz, but he's just platooning with Kapler (who did a fine job when nixon was out last year), until nixon gets back in september. I trust that theo and tito know what they are doing. last time I checked the yankees bullpen isnt that great, and your best CF option is bernie whos what like 40 years old, don't forget about Bubba and Melky. is your SP saga over now too. you would of picked up cruz if we didn't.

Test Giambi Now!!!!!

let's hope. he looks promising, but I want to see him against a good offense like the O's or Yanks, not this year (unless we have a good sized lead in the AL East, but that not likely), but next year. whens lester and sanchez expected to be promoted to AAA?
