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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
The Dodgers have done very well at over-hyping their prospects and then trading them. It has been a major part of their playbook for as long as i can remember.
Did LL say that we were in on Hannigan who would be paired with Ross? Maybe they let Ross walk and pair Hannigan with Lavarnway. I agree with Doji that Hannigan and Roiss would be redundant. I'd prefer to have on or ther other paired with Lavarnway to see what he has at the MLB level.
Didn't you also catch a foul ball this season? In 2013, you catch a foul ball, you played Frisbee with Sox players, the Sox win the World Series, and you gave a lift to the team president who gave you a scoop. 2013 is one memorable year for you!
