    Gagging .
  2. a700hitter
    Going forward would "FO Honk" be somewhat redundant?
  3. a700hitter
    Seconded.
  4. a700hitter
    Cherries was just so used to taking out the garbage for Theo that taking Byrd was just part of an old habit.
  5. a700hitter
    I was jk ing too. I don't even know what a honk is.
  6. a700hitter
    Just a honk in general.
  7. a700hitter
    I would be concerned.

    He is a moose. i don"t know how you can be certain that anyone is clean today.

    I wasn't comparing him to Jeter, just saying that MIFs are susceptible to getting dings.

    The Yanks look like they could have some trouble this year aging at key positions losing some depth that they have had in past seasons, but Cashman always seems to find a way. I really wish we had throw a lot of money at him a few years ago when his contract was up and shown Theo the door.
  11. a700hitter
    I think middle infielders who play every day get a lot of dings. Jeter has been dinged up every year.

    In baseball, you don't need a great body. A good pair of wrists and forearms to hit, healthy legs and great instincts and you can be good for a long time. Reflexes mean more in baseball than other sports, and they typically last longer than other skills like speed or throwing arm strength.

    Unless more is done, or all the "ifs" get answered in the affirmative, they will be fighting for 4 th place.

    Pitchers and catchers report in less than a month. It starting to look like we are done with moves except for a first base move with Napoli. It's funny that Napoli was the first major deal the Red Sox announced this off season. I believe the Gomes deal was announced prior, but that was not a major deal. It's unbelievable that the first major move has still not been finalized and might not be finalized. If the Napoli deal doesn't get done that means that the FO addressed the needs of a 93 loss last place team (the worst Red Sox showing since 1965) by acquiring: Victorino Gomes Dempster Drew Uehara Hanrahan Ross

    We need pitching. I don't see the sense of swapping Ellsbury and prospects for a dog like Upton.
  16. a700hitter
    I was referring to the Mets. But yes, the Red sox late inning bullpen was also atrocious.
  17. a700hitter
    Their end of game bullpen was pretty atrocious last year.

    Pedroia had the one season where he lost a lot time and that was due to a broken foot. He has not shown a proclivity to injury from playing hard. The little guy is pretty durable. I'd sign him long term. I'd sign him through age 35. He is as driven as any player that I have seen.
  19. a700hitter
    I like the Garrett Jones possibility. He can play first or the OF-- flexibility is good He has very good splits against righties, and it would give them the opportunity to see if Gomez can play at the ML level. If Gomez flops, Jones plays full time.
  20. a700hitter
    David Eckstein is not a comparable for Pedroia.
  21. a700hitter
    I haven't gotten to that point, but it looks like they aren't going to add any more to their starting pitching.
  22. a700hitter
    The only question is which Upton is the bigger dog.
  23. a700hitter
    http://p.washingtontimes.com/blog/nationals-watch/2012/sep/12/mri-michael-morses-left-wrist-shows-bone-bruise-to/ Torn sheath. Isn't that what Ortiz had? He's had the off season to heal. Shouldn't be a problem.

    I'm not a politician and I belong to no political organization, so I have no political agenda. As a private citizen, I have a vote. What does my post have to do with Carl Everett? He was ridiculed for disbelieving in dinosaurs. When I read, the recent news story, I thought of him. I'd like to confirm that I have no political agenda about dinosaurs. Do you? Are you pro or anti dinosaur? Personally, I liked the Jurasic Park movies. Does that make me a political activist? You can be such a jackass nitpicking at everything.

    I didn't realize that Carl Everett was a wife batterer. I remember a bizarre incident when he was with the mets when social services intervened with a situation with his kids. I think that was him. I could be completely wrong about that. People made fun of him about the dinosaur stuff, because he said that he did believe that there had been dinosaurs. The was a news story recently that revealed that some commonly believed dinosaur facts were deliberate fabrications. There was no such thing as the the Brontosaurus. The guy who discovered the brontosaurus couldn't find the head to go with the skeletal find so he picked a random head from another find and slapped it on top and presented it as this great discovery. That paleontologist was one of the premier paleontologists of the day and he had a chief competitor who had just made a big discovery. He felt pressure to have his own discovery, so he presented a fraud. I understand that his great great grand son is a premier scientist in the field of climate change.
