Good post. Armchair GMs are annoying enough, but armchair GMs with a budget are much worse. It is fun to talk about getting good players in the Hot Stove season. That is the fun of the Hot Stove league-- not getting bargain basement second hand damaged goods. As Ellsbury is stealing 20+ bases against us in each of the next couple of seasons, I will find no solace in the expectation that he will have terrible seasons in 2018-2020.
-
The Tigers just guaranteed themselves not to beat the Yankees in the playoffs for the next 2 seasons with their signing of Choker Joe Nathan.
-
Not well unles they bring in the fences. It seems that you have to crush the ball to get it out of that place.
-
I guess this means that the Yankees will pass on Grandy. I would not mind getting him. The Red Sox FO thinks very highly of Grandy and tried to get him before the Skanks swooped in and snatched him.
-
He is helpless against Lefties.
-
What about Beltran? He has a much lower price tag. He would not cost talent in return, and he puts up big numbers. LF at Fenway would add some years to his career.
-
You cocky bastard. If we the Championship in 2014, Lester and Ortiz should probably wear Yankee hats during the post game celebration. LOL!
-
Agreed. Salty will fade into oblivion with the Marlins.
-
I think that package would get the attention of the Dodgers. I will miss Ellsbury's elite speed. Speed like that makes things happen on offense. Many runs were scored without a base hit during 2llsbury's tenure with the Sox. That kind of speed is the rarest of tolls for the Red Sox. I have never seen anyone with his speed and base stealing ability on the Red Sox in my 47 years of rooting for the Sox. That being said, I think Cano is the much better investment for a 7 year contract.
-
Hopefully, Cano signes with the Dodgers.
-
No one. They were still in the middle of their deal with Damon, who helped the Skanks win their last championship. Let's hope that we don't have to see Ellsbury win a Championship for the skanks.
-
Many in Red Sox Nation unhappy about the Ellsbury deal.
-
After we win a Championship, our players who are about to become FA's should just wear Yankee hats during the post game celebration.
-
Two questions: How many bases does Ellsbury steal against the Red Sox in 2014? Does he get booed when he comes back to Fenway? I am really going to miss his speed.
-
Without a strong supporting cast, Salty should do terribly oin Miami. All of his shortcomings will be magnified.
-
He may be one of those guys you hate when he is an opponent but love him when he is on your team. Swisher is like that too. Victorino.is like that too.
-
I can't check that link on my BB, but wasn't that a poll of opposing players? If so, who cares. Big Papi likes him from their Twins days. That's all that matters to me. The guy plays hard and smart. There is no dog in him like AGon, Crawford and Beckett.
-
I don't understand why people hate this guy. He's durable. He hits well for a catcher and he has been on some winning ballclubs at every stop he has made. The one negative is that he is a bit long in the tooth. He is a better defensive csatcher than Salty and he will not strikeout every other AB.

Last December, I was very anxious. This year I'm not a bit anxious. I'm just waiting to see the Championsip Banner hanging from the CF flagpole.
-
Bard has a better chance of winning a gold medal in figure skating than he does of making it back to the big leagues.
-
The miracle is that he has been getting paid for the last 2 seasons.
-
We could have lived with both contracts if they had played up to their potential in 2011 and won a championship. The major problem is that 3 of their biggest money guys were whining dogs with no heart. They were losers that spread cancer in the clubhouse.
-
Blass had the good sense to retire. Bard is still getting paid so he will stick around until no one pays him.
-
You just can't resist taking a shot at the big man.
