    Worst contract in Red Sox history-- Dice K. $102 million for 1 mediocre year and 1 good year. It dosen't matter that half of it went for the signing rights. It was still $102 million. It makes the Yankees contract with Carl Pavano look like a bargain.

    This declaration from Larry L is bizarre. I really think this FO is clueless. They are cutting the margin of error so thin, despite spending $160 million, that they need to lower the expectations of the fans because they must realize that this can spiral down the drain like last year if they get a few injuries.

    I think they have all but given up on him. They'd prefer to try to achieve some level of respectability this season and not throw in the towel than to give some of the kids an opportunity.
  4. a700hitter
    Yep, I agree. I don't know who they think they are fooling. It's not a good team, and that will become evident pretty quickly once the season starts. Band aids like Napoli, Drew and Gomes are not going to help. Bandaids for the pitching was the direction that they needed to go, but didn't.

    It doesn't make much sense to me. After this season, the window may be closed on Iggy because he'll be getting pushed by Bogy and then Marrero. This was the time to see if he could play at this level. We're not going to win anything this year. They should have given the kid a shot. Basically, I think that his window is very very small right now. He'll have to hit like crazy at AAA and take the job from Drew if he wants to be part of this team's future in 2014 and beyond.

    Youk will bash us on the field.
  7. a700hitter
    As I thought, you just can't resist the cheap potshot. Very petty, and totally predictable.
  8. a700hitter
    Did he tell you if Williams was also in the game-- two #9's on the field?
  9. a700hitter
    That's interesting. I did not see him listed as a #9. That may be something that happened but was never officially recorded. It's a great story that only people who were there watching the game would know about. Do you know if that was in any newspaper reports about the game?
  10. a700hitter
    He would have helped us a lot.

    I guess Carp would just flounder around in the OF.
  13. a700hitter
    They have a number of young pitchers who they would like to work into their rotation.
  14. a700hitter
    The Guardians haven't been linked to him in any rumors, but that would not surprise me as they have had a very active off season. Of the teams on the list, I would say that the Cards would be most likely after losing Carpenter. The Red Sox would be the least likely, because Cherries likes our starting pitching.

    It will be a pleasure. I am sure that you will refrain from your cheap potshots that are your specialty.

    I was looking at a list of Red Sox uniform numbers and the players who wore them, and I found something odd with regard to Ted Williams' #9. Williams broke into the majors with a bang in 1939 and he wore #9 right from the beginning. By 1943 when Williams was in the Marines, he was already an iconic baseball figure. Oddly, in 1944, while Williams was still in the Service, two catchers wore number 9-- Johnny Peacock and Hal Wagner. Both had fairly long but undistinguished major league careers. Peacock had 1 HR in 9 seasons and Wagner had 15 HRs in a 12 year career. I was shocked to see that the Red Sox issued Williams' #9 while he was away at war. I wonder if they just ran out of uniforms or if those players wanted to pay homage to Williams in some way. Regardless of the actual story, I just can't believe the clubhouse guy would have issued #9 to anyone. Those clubhouse guys loved Williams. By all accounts, he treated them great and was a very generous tipper.

    I'm a must read. But maybe you can start a boycott of A700hitter.
  18. a700hitter
    Can he play the OF with any proficiency. We need a lefthanded OFer to pair up with Gomes.
  19. a700hitter
    I think it speaks volumes as to the quality of Cherries off season that Farrell and Pedro are the 2 best acquisitions. Farrell is a completely undistinguished manager whose Jays teams executed fundamentals very poorly and ran the bases like idiots. I don't think Pedro will have any onfield presence after Spring Training.
  20. a700hitter
    When did he go on the medication?
  21. a700hitter
    Naploi's hip is so bad that we are concerned that it may have degenerated during contract negotiations. Oye!!!
  22. a700hitter
    I applaud your action, but some around here will insult you for using the ignore feature.
  23. a700hitter
    Is this the type of improvement that JH had referred to earlier in the week?
  24. a700hitter
    Point out where I did that in this thread this morning, you delusional fool. My exchanges with OJ and SFF were respectful disagreements. Read back. None of the three of us went nuts. You jumped in and went nuts. Go take a nap, fool. ^ Wow, I am pretty sure that you need to see a doctor.
  25. a700hitter
    Just go back and look at the anger you spewed. To say it was hate-filled would not be an exaggeration, because you use the word hate in the post where you called me ridiculous, sleazy and dishonest. Martyr act? I am laughing at you, because you are obviously emotionally stunted, immature and unstable. However, if you can't keep it civil you should take a break until you can discuss things in a civil manner since we are just discussing sports. Your crap mucks up the thread, and it displays for everyone that you are a total loser. Save yourself the further embarrassment.
