  1. Eli Manning with the Chargers as well
  2. Very good signing by the Yanks. It is pricey but it is just for 1 year, Petitte was a lethal Sox killer in his time wearing pinstripes. Goodbye Lilly!! Oh hey its uh Petitte... damn
  3. If that really was the case, the Sox wouldve said so right away as Papelbon was an All-Star closer for them. All players dismiss possible injuries and act like thir s*** (not saying Papelbon isnt). Theo came out and said the team's medical staff reported to him that him starting would put less wear & tear on his shoulder than closing would do
  4. foxsports.com http://redsox.bostonherald.com/redSox/view.bg?articleid=171075 Good article with JD Drew on the Boston Herald. He's ready to prove himself to Boston, and us fans will see his passion.
  5. Well everyone knew on here it would be around 5 years/$70-75 million and that estimate was being reported in Boston since Thanksgiving wknd. An official announcement was held up from the Sox focusing on Manny trade talks. a700 wa getting to the point that the Sox did not set the market which is true... Soriano- 8 years/$136 million, Carlos Lee- 6 years/$100 million, Gary Matthews Jr- 5 years/$50 million, Juan Pierre- 4 years/$44 million
  6. http://redsox.bostonherald.com/redSox/view.bg?articleid=171060 D-Mat and his family will be in Boston next week for the first time.
  7. Youre a Dodger fan and you didnt know that JD Drew can also play center field?
  8. What a 180 Sox bid $51 million, with expected contract to increase total price overall to over $100 million. Gom and other Yankees fan criticized us for the Sox FO to shell out such cash for an unproven pitcher in the States. Now its alright for him to say the yankees could break bank over $100 million for him? And no Boras can not just buy him out from the Lions. Again (say this a lot to yankee fans), blockbuster deals like this with Boras always happen until the last second. Foolish to think the Sox are just going to let him walk away and be fine with Snyder as their 5th starter
  9. I wouldnt put Drew in the same class of speed as Youk, Ortiz, Manny, Tek, and Lowell. He does have 15 stolen bases over the last 3 seasons, thats more than the other 5 mentioned have combined. And this lineup does have the potential to be one of the best run producing in baseball
  10. As Ive said before, what are the better options? Yes we could trade for Chad Cordero-- But Bowden's price from Boston is considered to be Wily Mo, 2 top pitching prospects The Pirates were asking for Braves' 1st baseman slugger Andy LaRoche. Who would they ask in return from Boston? Derrick Turnbow could be a possibility. But is also a risk himself. As a closer in the NL he broke down with a 6+ ERA Brad Lidge, I believe could be off the table
  11. Hinske could probably net us, as far as Seattle's major league relievers go lefty George Sherrill http://sports.yahoo.com/mlb/players/7379 or righty Sean Green http://sports.yahoo.com/mlb/players/7751
  12. http://www.projo.com/redsox/content/projo_20061207_07meetjo.31df835.html This should make A700 happy. The Red Sox have placed Eric Hinkse on the trading block, maybe to see if they could get at least a decent reliever in return. The Seattle Mariners are said to be interested
  13. http://www.kansascity.com/mld/kansascity/16186513.htm What the f***??? God-da-damn!! Meche's contract is set to be worth $55-60 million over 5 years. Now I see why he chose this over the Cubs/Blue Jays "price" of $40 million
  14. Since Matzuaka is now on a plane ride back to the United States, I bet Theo and his comrades are packing things up to fly to LA to get him signed. On WEEI they said that Theo has appointed several execs for different free agents/trade routes they are still targeting
  15. Lugo has a career avg of .330 in 28 games played at Fenway Park, setting himself up for a good year
  16. Ken Rosenthal has updated that the White Sox will also be getting Jason Hirsh. He is a very good ptching prospect with upside to be a #2 or 3. We could see a 2007 rotation of Buehrle, Contreras, Vazquez, McCarthy and Hirsh
  17. I think we know who the Sox will be facing on opening day EDIT: http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/news/story?id=2689724 Haha it's actually a 5 year deal, half a decade in Kansas City for Meche. He couldve gotten that much money in 4 years with Toronto or Chicago
  18. Im finding more fault with Gil Meche himself. Yeah Gil it is $5 million more than the Cubs & Blue Jays... but youre not all together up in your head. Have fun getting used to being with a last place team and minor league team fanbase
