Wakefield might be settling into one of the funks he goes through...in several weeks he'll get hot again

Strike 2 to Youkilis was deffinitly outside...no way that ball came back in far enough to hit the plate

Hard to say whats behind the thinking of the Florida Marlins. True they probably have the money to keep Miguel Cabrera but the owner is notorious for wanting to rake large profits on a low income team. He may still be trying to persue a new stadium as well. Currently Cabrera takes up 25% of the teams payroll and will probably get an arbitration settlement around $13 million next season. At that point he will have 40% of the teams payroll. Do they want to invest that money in one player or bring in two-three young studs? Thats a question only the Marlins can answer.

No thats not what it would take. If Florida is confronted with a situation where they feel its necessary to move a player based on financial reasons, they will do it. Lets not over value Miguel Cabrera...he is worth one of the three pitchers, Jacoby Ellsbury, and a young reliever.

This rumor has resurfaced in the latest boston globe. Rich Harden is returning from his stint on the DL and a bunch of teams will be watching him closely. Since the Red Sox missed out on Roger Clemens I would expect them to make a strong push for a deal to gain Harden's services. They currently have a team to win the World Series and one strong move could put them over the top. So what would you do?.....Without question Billy Beane would ask for one of the following: Jon Lester, Clay Buchholz, or Michael Bowden. Trying to evaluate these three pitchers and determine which one I would most likely give up is extremely difficult. It would cost a decent position player in Coco Crisp, Brandon Moss, David Murphy, Wily Mo Pena, etc. (not Jacoby Ellsbury). I don't see Jon Lester, Buchholz, AND Bowden making the Red Sox roster in the future so I expect one of them to be traded. Is Rich Harden the guy you want to trade for? Personally I'm not sure...I would wait to see if the Florida Marlins make Miguel Cabrera available.

What I've learned about Devern Hansack.....he doesn't have a good enough fastball to cut it in the majors

Alex Cora is a god

I wanted to see Devern Hansack get a shot. The guy has what....3 innings now logged at the MLB level this season? How can anyone make a judgement on that? I wanted to see Kason Gabbard as well. Both guys looked fantastic in ST and done well at AAA.

Thank you....nice to see him look that good in a short time frame

This is off subject from the game but....does anyone know why Jon Lester only went 3.2 innings? He was absolutely rolling so I'm not sure if something happened?

"Josh Phelps looks like he is ready to launch a Wagner pitch" - Joe Buck ....keep dreaming you schmuck

All these years in baseball....how does Billy Wagner make that play?? And wow I feel bad for the Mets....an excellent team and all you hear from Buck and friend is...Yankees this and Yankees that

FYI on the best CF in the Red Sox organization.... Jacoby Ellsbury is 3-4 with 2 runs 1 RBI and 2 SB in the AAA game thus far

alright enough....f*** YOU MANNY

I'll say this about Wily Mo Pena....if he was given the same amount of playing time as Manny Ramirez and JD Drew...I bet he would be hitting for a better average right now...possibly more production

Wily Mo, Coco Crisp...the way I see it...the best CF for the Red Sox is playing in AAA Pawtucket at the moment

Wily Mo isn't good enough offensively to offset his crap defense

This has been quite a boring game today

Its one of those days.....clearly this team wasn't ready to play today
