  1. We shouldn't but it will look like a little league game if he gets on base with Salty behind the dish. Ells will just run around the bases as the ball gets thrown all over the place.
  2. As for Ellsbury, if he goes to the Yankees and we re-sign Salty, Ells could rack up 30-40 steals just against the Sox next season.
  3. Dempster's contract was money down the drain.
  4. $4.3 million on Bailey seems like a waste of money for 2014.
  5. Even better.
  6. If they exercise the option, he will be under contract for 2015 at the league minimum. At that point they can trade that contract to another team. They can't trade the option but they can trade the contract once the option is exercised.
  7. Put him at 3rd base.
  8. Miggy and Ortiz back to back. That's a Sox fan's wet dream.
  9. We did discuss King Felix for 2 or 3 off seasons. What is the harm? I don't know why you are getting so worked up. Most of the trade rumors never come to fruition. Internet clutter is a big problem? 90% of the internet is unnecessary clutter. Your team won a championship. You saw the Sox beat the Skanks at Fenway. How can Hot Stove blather bother you so much? I am still smiling ear to ear.
  10. We discussed getting King Felix for years. That wasn't realistic either and it didn't happen, but it was fun to think about.
  11. It is fun to think about Cano in a lineup with Pedroia and Ortiz. I don't know why that would get anyone angry. It is a pipe dream, but it is fun to think about.
  12. No, I don't think there is a chance of getting Cano, but it is the hot stove season-- the time for imaginations to run amok.
  13. It was very surprising that the Cards would make this move.
  14. DiceK being compared to Cano? Oh come on. Cano is a great offensive player. The guy is a pure hitter. We talk about him playing first base, but with Cano's arm we should consider the possibilty of him playing 3rd. He would have a higher value at 3rd.
  15. Bitching about bitching is bitching and really really stupid, but it is his reason for being.
  16. Yep, for example, just because Salty was a big contributor to our World Championship doesn't mean that he doesn't suck at throwing out base runners.
  17. He just has to bitch about people bitching even if they are not bitching. That is bitching once removed. LOL!!
  18. I really expected championships in the mid and late 70's. They had some awesome talented teams in those years, but unfortunately there was no wild card.
  19. Cano would hit like a beast in Fenway batting in between Pedroia and Ortiz. That would be something to see. It would also kill Yankee fans, and I love that.
  20. I never s*** on our players. I will s*** on management. I have never hidden the fact that i don't hold much fondness for the suits in baseball. Cherries gets a nice reprieve from my criticism for winning a championship. Job well-done.
  21. I've been well. I think the FO has very little pressure to make moves this off season. They can ride the wave of euphoria of a World Championship. They just need to put out a competitive crew next season and not gut the roster. I am not a huge Napoli fan, but I can't ignore the fact that his teams always seem to be tough minded fighters and very competitive. I don't think that is an accident. I also don't think he should cost too much to sign considering his hip condition. I think our starting pitching is set. They will tinker around with the pen, get a backup catcher, get an OFer if Ellsbury walks.
  22. Winning did make me happy. Unfortunately, it was not enough for some who need to be in attack gotcha mode at all times. I can't understand it. I will still defend anyone on the board from unnecessary bullying or targeting. That's not limited to Fred and iortiz. I just can't stomach that s***. I have been busy lately, but I will be back to pummel those who need pummeling.
  23. The market for Salty might be weak because he gave up more stolen bases of all catchers.
