BoSox Rule

I love Bonds and McGwire.

You're like I'm not a super mod

Someone actually lets him use a computer....I'm in shock...

Coincidentally, Hanley is the only great one.

Nomar was never really THE star of the team. 1997- Vaughn 1998- Pedro & Nomar 1999- Pedro & Nomar 2000- Pedro & Nomar 2001- Manny 2002- Manny, Pedro, and Nomar 2003- Pedro, Manny, Ortiz. & Nomar 2004- Manny, Pedro, Ortiz & Schilling

I give Renteria a hard time. I'll like him, don't get me wrong, but he didn't have a $40 million year last year. Hopefully Bill James and Theo know something I don't.

I know you didn't just judge a prospect panning out on the account of a team goal. Maybe I misunderstood.

I'd rather have Hanley over Renteria, but I'd do anything to get Nomar after this year

Ben Sheets isn't going anywhere, and even if he does the Brewers have much better options.

Still my favorite player in baseball.

sarasoxfan, tell me what Nomar was doing when he was Hanley's age. Hanley Ramirez has followed Miguel Tejada's career path to-a-T so far.

If I remember correctly, Hanley was injured when he played in A Ball this year, hitting 1 HR and slugging .389. However, he still hit .310 with a .364 OBP. I don't know how that is relevant because he went to AA and went .310/.360/.512/.872 with 5 HR (25 per 162) with 10 walks to 26 strikeouts. He also went 25/35 in stolen bases this year. Now that he is healthy, I would'nt be surprised to see his first .900 OPS season since his 2002 season (not including 6 games this year in the GCL)

Here are all the compensation picks. First Round 17. Yankees (from Phillies for Type B Jon Lieber) 22. Marlins (from Giants for Type A Armando Benitez) 23. Red Sox (from Angels for Type A Orlando Cabrera) 26. Red Sox (from Dodgers for Type A Derek Lowe) 28. Cardinals (from Red Sox for Type A Edgar Renteria) 29. Marlins (from Yankees for Type A Carl Pavano) Supplemental First Round 31. Diamondbacks (for Type A Richie Sexson) 32. Rockies (for Type A Vinny Castilla) 33. Guardians (for Type A Omar Vizquel) 34. Marlins (for Benitez) 35. Padres (for Type A David Wells) 36. Athletics (for Type A Damian Miller) 37. Angels (for Type A Troy Percival) 38. Astros (for Type A Carlos Beltran) 39. Twins (for Type A Corey Koskie) 40. Dodgers (for Type A Adrian Beltre) 41. Braves (for Type A Jaret Wright) 42. Red Sox (for Type A Pedro Martinez) 43. Cardinals (for Renteria) 44. Marlins (for Pavano) 45. Red Sox (for Cabrera) 46. Cardinals (for Type A Mike Matheny) 47. Red Sox (for Lowe) 48. Devil Rays (for failure to sign Jeff Niemann*) 49. Orioles (for failure to sign Wade Townsend) 50. Angels (for failure to sign Jered Weaver*) 51. Diamondbacks (for failure to sign Stephen Drew*) (*First-round pick still eligible to sign with club.) Second Round 54. Dodgers (from Mariners for Beltre) 55. Rockies (from Nationals for Castilla) 56. Athletics (from Brewers for Miller) 57. Twins (from Blue Jays for Koskie) 60. Red Sox (from Mets for Martinez) 61. Angels (from Tigers for Percival) 66. Yankees (from White Sox for Type B Orlando Hernandez) 73. Cardinals (from Giants for Matheny) 79. Padres (from Red Sox for Wells) 80. Braves (from Yankees for Wright) Supplemental Second Round 82. Marlins (for Type C Mike Redmond, signed with Twins) 83. Twins (for Type C Henry Blanco, signed with Cubs) Third Round 86. Diamondbacks (from Mariners for Sexson) 87. Twins (from Nationals for Type B Cristian Guzman) 92. Astros (from Mets for Beltran) 105. Guardians (from Giants for Vizquel) 111. Cubs (from Red Sox for Type B Matt Clement)

I like Hanley's athleticism/range to think of him at thirdbase.

Hanley's too big to move to 2B.

HAHAHAHAAHAHA. You're such a clown. He didn't admit s***. We never wouldn't know this if he wasn't under oath and it wasn't leaked.

I love Papelbon....in a non-gay way.

Why is this the first time I've heard Schilling's name in this, as well as Thomas'?

Please. I am not a fan of the Renteria signing at all. Him and his .728 OPS :thumbdown

Wins? I'll take those numbers I already showed. It's not contest. Arroyo is much better, Wakfield is a washed-up starter at this point.

Way to go. Let's leave these numbers out of our rotation 121 ERA+ for the season - 9th in the AL 7-2 3.97 ERA after the break 2.37 BB/9 - 10th in the AL 10.98 BR/9 and a 1.22 WHIP - 6th in the AL 8.61 H/9 - 10th in the AL

Nothing to get over

Anybody who says Wakefield is wrong.

I stopped reading when I got to " Anyway, in typical Martinez fashion, he had a high pitch count over three innings and was in trouble most of the time."

If I'm a scorekeeper I am making that motherf***er walk somebody.
