  1. Yeah, by no means is Theo a god, he's gone down in status lately. I do think he's an above average GM. I think he still needs some experience, as he's still pretty young. I hope he stays in Boston for years to come, and ends up being very good. But no, he's not a god.
  2. I like Peavy, Linebrink, someone else for Manny as a second option behind the Dodgers deal
  3. Theo didn't by any means botch the Abreu trade. Last season if we got him we wouldv'e gone over the luxury tax limit, which has now been significantly raised some, giving us more financial flexibility. Also, yes I agree, the Beckett trade has ended up horribley, but until last season Hanley was looking like one of those underacheiving but wicked talented players. Sanchez I agree with riverside however, might not have had the same success as he had in the NLE if he were to be brought up in the ALE. So the jurys still out on this trade.
  4. Yeah Rivera's really taken off, he would be a good catch if we could get him.
  5. Papelbon did have 3 or so starts in the ML the season prior to last, in which he held the Angels and others to 2 runs in I believe 5 innings each outing. However, that by no means is a track record, and I believe that his 3rd and 4th pitches will make or break him. Also, Gom, I'm not so sure Matsuzaka will struggle. I mean he has 4 MLB caliber pitches, will pitch a lot less than he did in Japan, does well in the spotlight, and he is already used to having the game called by his catcher (so Tek will have total control, and that usually fares well). So basically you have a catcher who knwos the league better than anyone, a pitcher cocky anough to get through it, and a solid arsenal of pitches to unleash on hitters.
  6. 5 years is a bit above what I would want. Id feel more comfortable with 3 years, and options for the least 2. The money I don't really care, because the luxury tax threshold has gone up. Ifw e do sign him to 5, we're almost certain to run into a problem in his last two years with injury or lack of performance,a nd then he'll sit while we bring up soembody or tarde for someone.
  7. Talks are that Manny might be involved in a deal to the Angels
  8. i like the deal, though i feel very reluctant trading Wily Mo, honestly, I need to see him play an entire season starting before I can judge him. However, that deal solves a lot of our needs right away
  9. No s*** Sherlock
  10. I like teh 6 man rotation diea, and if Clement is betetr we can amke a 7 man, and if lester is ehalthy an 8 MAN!!!
  11. Young, Tex, reliver would be eprfect for us, maybe adding in Youk so we can put Tex at first.
  12. Happy Trails Billy Ballgame. You never complained about anything, you never said anything negative, you just went out and did your job the bets you could, and we all thank you for it.
  13. I wont get excited about this one just yet
  14. I love Linebrink, but I don't think he's worth Pena or Crisp, maybe extend it to involve Lowell and Peavy :thumbsup: :thumbsup:
  15. What do we need him for? we got Terry's lover Cora
  16. I dont think it was the Giants decision, Matsuzaka, if eh waited 2 more years could ahve come over as a FA, it depends on the years of service
  17. If we're going to go afetr a second-tier pitcher, then I want Meche as well. However, eaton is a smart move as hell come cheap and could provide Meche -like numbers
  18. well, its the cleveland plaind ealer were talkin about, so maybe its not true
  19. Thewre are 2 things Id be worried about with Wake comin out to close: 1) Does he ahve control, and 2) will he be effective i.e. will he serve up rollers that get knocked out farther than most airplanes go.
  20. Good for him, he deserved it, even though he screwed me afetr I trade dhim in fantasy baseball
  21. Id be ahppy with Wily Mo, though Drew is an inetresting option
  22. I hoenstly think Wakey would be a VERY solid option at closer, just because his knucler would be so different from pitchers prior to him it would be ahrd to get the timing down.
  23. I ehard he was also talking to Justin Speier, whcih would be a big help
