    Lord Snow for prez
  2. MANNYHOF24
    That's not the question though...
  3. MANNYHOF24
    Count of hands, who would rather have had Youk at first for one year 12 million rather than Napoli for 3 years and 39 million?
  4. MANNYHOF24
    The Red Sox can support a 170 million dollar payroll. They are not even close to done yet. Can't you wait and see Ben's full plan play out before you make rash judgements?
  5. MANNYHOF24
    Things are starting to heat up, all of a sudden Ben's master plan is becoming clearer. I think they trade Ellsbury and go hard after Hamilton.
  6. MANNYHOF24
    Let's face it, Ellsbury is going to be moved for pitching. I set this thread up so we can discuss what type of deal might be made. I've heard Cliff Lee so far. What about masterson and Cabrera in a deal with the Guardians?
  7. MANNYHOF24
    Cliff Lee scares me a bit with his age... Anyone else feel this way?
  8. MANNYHOF24
    Trade arguably our best pitcher and best hitter/fielder for a prospect? NO WAY!
  9. MANNYHOF24
    The way I see the rest of the offseason playing out... Sign Hamilton 4 years 100 million Sign swisher 3 years 45 million Trade Ellsbury salt, doubront and a good prospect for pitching help Sign McCarthy Sign drew Sign Brian Wilson Victorino CF Pedroia 2B Ortiz Dh Hamilton RF Middlebrooks 3B Napoli/swisher 1B Swisher/ Gomes LF Lavarnway/Ross/Napoli C Stephen Drew SS Rotation 1. return from Ellsbury trade (no ideas yet) 2. Lester 3. Buchholz 4. McCarthy 5. Lackey Bullpen Miller Bard Bailey Aceves Brian Wilson That is a championship contending team, while only sacrificing one high grade prospect.
  10. MANNYHOF24
    Bens plan is obviously to deal Ellsbury for pitching and then throw the world at Hamilton and swisher.
  11. MANNYHOF24
    It's refreshing to see some optimism in here!
  12. MANNYHOF24
    I have a feeling the Yankees are going to snag Josh Hamilton... Would you be surprised?
  13. MANNYHOF24
    I think there is a good chance AROD will never really be an impact hitter again. He is 37 years old, and this will be 2 hip surgeries in the last 4 seasons. The Yankees infield is in trouble. The only person you can absolutely rely on is Cano. Tex seems to be in decline, and could fall off the cliff. Who knows how Jeter will come back from the ankle and now AROD. The Yankees have been incredibly lucky to be so successful with an old team. At some point one would think it's going to blow up in their faces. The more I think about, it really could be this season.
  14. MANNYHOF24
    I think this would be a mistake. He is still only 28, had a few down years (2011 wasn't bad by any means). The Red Sox will always be able to buy offense, I don't agree with unloading your potential best arm with the team so starved for pitching. I fully expect Lester to work his ass off this winter and have a rebound year.
  15. MANNYHOF24
    I feel like salty has weird value to some teams because of the 25 bombs, he might actually be able to get a fairly good return. Any sox fan could tell you that he isn't worth much, but I have a hunch some GM will make a stupid trade. I thought for some reason McCarthy had another year left on his deal.
  16. MANNYHOF24
    You will laugh when you see my trade proposal. A depressed sox fan can dream can't he?
  17. MANNYHOF24
    CF-Ellsbury 2B-Pedroia DH-Ortiz 1B-Nappoli/Youk/Swisher 3B-Middlebrooks SS-Cabrera RF-Choo LF-Ross C- Ross/Lavs Trade Salty and a few C B prospects for Brandon McCarthy or Gavin Floyd. Trade Doubront, Igelsias, Ranaudo and other lower level prospects for Choo, Masterson and Cabrera. Sign Nappoli, Youk or Swisher to play firstbase and convicnce Ross to come back because he will suck outside of Fenway. This leaves a rotation of Lester Buchholz Floyd/McCarthy Masterson Lackey Still no real number one (unless Lester regains his 08-10 form, or buchholz finally develops some consistency), but a vast improvement over what we saw last year. Do you think it's possible?
  18. MANNYHOF24
    What kind of package do you think it would take to get Choo, Masterson and Cabrera?
  19. MANNYHOF24
    Jason Bay was just released by the mets today. Maybe we could sign him for small money, stick him in left and sign Torii hunter/Cody Ross to play RF. Sign Youk/Napoli to play first then sign stephen Drew to play SS Ellsbury Pedroia Ortiz Middlebrooks Youk/Napoli Bay Hunter Drew Salty/Lavarnway Bay could have nothing left, but he might be an interesting min. contract option.
  20. MANNYHOF24
    I would not make that trade straight up. I honestly think Lackey has more upside then wells for next season. I would try to make the deal, not involving wells if possible. I would definitely consider your alternative deal though.
  21. MANNYHOF24
    Why do you keep saying this? Everything you read everywhere says that the Red Sox want Ross and Ross wants the Red Sox. I think you are reading too much into this. Teams know that Cody Ross' swing is made for Fenway park, i really doubt another club is going to give Cody Ross what he is looking for.
  22. MANNYHOF24
    1 Jon Lester 2 Clay Buchholz 3 Dan Haren 4 John Lackey 5 Felix Doubront/Francisco Liriano CF Jacoby Ellsbury 2B Dustin Pedroia 3B Will Middlebrooks DH David Ortiz 1B Kevin Youkilis RF Cody Ross LF Delmon Young C Ryan Lavarnway/Salty SS Stephen Drew Playoff team if Lester, Buchholz, Lackey, return to career norms and the lineup stays healthy.
  23. MANNYHOF24
    Also, Garnett's rotations on defense were late all night, he got best in every crucial moment.
  24. MANNYHOF24
    Rajon's numbers look great, but his head was not in the game most of the night
  25. MANNYHOF24
    Just because people don't post on a forum, doesn't mean they have lost their fandom. Jesus
