    It's looking like another slow day. Lots of boredom.
  2. a700hitter
    Why do they even kick the tires on this guy when there are other options to pursue?
  3. a700hitter
    From today's paper. It gave me a chuckle.

    Who is expecting an immediate contender? I think most of us would be happy with a respectable team with a chance to play .500 ball and have meaningful games throughout August.

    Well, Toronto already has it's team pretty much in place. Also, the Yankees have locked down their starting pitching for the season. I don't think the Rays or the O's have holes like the Sox at this point.
  7. a700hitter
    This is huge for him.
  8. a700hitter
    Probably.

    I am not sure how much promise Bard has at this juncture. He looked like a shot pitcher at the end of last season.

    Doesn't the largest amount of revenue still come from ticket sales?

    I wouldn't mind getting Andrus back in that swap instead of Porcello.

    I am generally against trading everyday players for pitchers. Ellsbury has shown star potential. I am very much against trading everyday star players for pitchers, even front line pitchers. Porcello doesn't warrant Ellsbury as a return. IMO, the Tiger would jump at that, and the Sox would not offer it.
  13. a700hitter
    That's too high a price, IMO.

    Isn't his annual salary less than what is being offered to Napoli. I like him better than Napoli as an offensive player. I like that he is a switch hitter too.

    When people talk about people being negative or critical in general without directing it at me, I don't take it as personal, because I don't view myself as unfairly critical or negative. Unfortunately, people like you are never satisfied making such general statements. It's always personal. If you take references to pollyannishness as a personal insult, that is your problem. If it hits too close to home, maybe you are one. Again that is not my problem, but a reference to that mindset without a name or names attached to it is not a personal insult or sideswipe. There are many Pollyannas, so you shouldn't take it personally. Yes, let's get back to baseball. That's all I want. The FO is moving at a snails pace. I have no idea why, but it is making for a very boring off season.

    He'd be an improvement, but Dombrowski is a good negotiator. We'd have to see what he wants. They need a SS and some OF help, and we have none to offer that we don't need. I am wondering what the Tigers are going to do with VMart when he comes back. There's no room at first base. He can't catch with the bad knee. Unless they make him a full time DH, they might be looking to move him. He'd be a good fit at first base for the Sox.

    I agree with your post, but there is the scary possibility that for reasons not known to us that they don't have a lot of payroll flexibility. There's probably a lot going on with the owner's finances- and some of it might not be very pretty.

    ^ This is taking your own advice. I don't see baseball in this post.
  19. a700hitter
    Yep, and you should have pointed it out t the person who made it an issue. I can do this all day if you like.
  20. a700hitter
    Take your own advice.
  21. a700hitter
    I thought Longo was going to kick his ass in the dugout a couple of years back. He would have broken him in half.
  22. a700hitter
    Oh, I guess you missed the post criticizing someone's plans for final arrangements. Otherwise you would have directed your post to him... Right?
  23. a700hitter
    What is more pathetic is how much dog he has in him. The guy has never played hard.
  24. a700hitter
    Talk about being critical and negative, you are criticizing a persons choice of final arrangements based on economic grounds? I don't think he'll have much use for the money after he is dead. Just to be clear a reference to polyannishness is not by itself a direct insult to anyone.

    I wonder if this is the kind of deal Brian Wilson will get.
