    Aside from A-Rod and Lowell, there are no good third basemen hitting the market this off-season so that alone will drive up the price on them. And no one really knows where Lowell's head is at, whether he likes it here enough to sign a two-year deal because everyone thinks he'll get four years whereever he goes and that completely goes against the FO's philosophy of keeping players past the age of 35 (unless it's a special case like Varitek). I think Lowell will stay and A-Rod will land in Anaheim

    :lol: :lol: I'm sure he's the greatest thing since sliced bread but it's foolish to pay attention to any prospect until he hits AA

    Unless you mean they never overpay to keep guys, you contradicted yourself. Whoever gets A-Rod WILL overpay for him.

    Nice, Papelbon is made for the talk show circuit

    in terms of overall excitement, probably a tie between Buchholz's no hitter and the back-to-back-to-back-to-back homers. I got pretty jacked about Manny's walk-off vs. the Angels in Game 2 though

    I think if you're the Red Sox, you gotta sign Schilling on his terms, 1 year at $13 mil. Provided they re-sign Lowell, this team has a serious shot at winning again next year (unlike in 2005) but without Schilling, I don't think the Sox have enough depth in the rotation to be a serious contender. I also don't think they'd be able to replace Schilling through free agency, not with the lack of depth hitting the market. So with Schilling, you're looking at a rotation of Beckett, Dice-K, Schilling, Lester, Buchholz/Wakefield which is a very good rotation. Without Schilling, you have too many question marks to consider the rotation a real stength Then for 2009, you'd think Lester, Dice-K and Buchholz will be progressed in their development enough to be considered locks for the rotation so then it would be the perfect time for Schilling and probably Wakefield to leave Boston

    Beckett Dice-K Schilling Buchholz Lester/Wakefield thats good enough for me for '08 and incredibly realistic

    Apparently, Girardi has agreed to manage the Yankees and Torre is expected to manage the Dodgers next year with Mattingly following him as his bench coach
  9. BoSox21
    this makes their already formidable lineup that much better

    the keys to both years we've won the title seem to be the camraderie between the entire team, how everyone gets along. looking at the guys on that team, I just don't see how A-Rod fits in with them.

    Bill Simmons wrote a fantastic column on this year's Sox team and how the entire organization has turned around in the last several years http://sports.espn.go.com/espn/page2/story?page=simmons/071029&sportCat=mlb

    Gagne is a free agent and if Timlin retires like I think he might, Delcarmen becomes that much more valuable
  13. BoSox21
    cause I'm not so sure Gagne hasn't blown a late inning hold situation since he put on a Red Sox uniform
  14. BoSox21
    Hindsight being 20/20, maybe so but I would've been more comfortable with Kyle Snyder in there instead of Gagne
  15. BoSox21
    Like I said in the game thread, they oughta make a movie about the year Jon Lester had
  16. BoSox21
    since A-Rod is no longer a Yankee, does this really belong in the Yankee forum?.... ......*chuckle*
  17. BoSox21
    I wrote that in response to his decision to consider putting Gagne in the game. Luckily, he didn't
  18. BoSox21
    alright guys, congratulations. enjoy it. revel in it. goodnight
  19. BoSox21
    this will be the most interesting off-season in a loooong time
  20. BoSox21
    give Lowell whatever the f*** he wants, especially with Clement coming off the books
  21. BoSox21
    this officially puts the Hanley deal in our favor
  22. BoSox21
    not bad for a trade throw-in, eh Marlins?
  23. BoSox21
    congrats Mike Lowell, you deserve it
  24. BoSox21

  25. BoSox21
