    Theo got the dredge out for this move.

    Cherries made moves in 3 of the 4 days of the Winter Meetings. These were helpful moves that help with the foundation of the 2013 team, but I would say that it is still about 30 -40% unfinished. Most of the unfinished business involves starting pitching. Will there be a trade or a FA signing? Lots of names have come of the boards already. We still need someone to share 1B with Napoli. Will that be Swisher who can also share LF with Gomes? I don't think there is enough PT available for Swisher. Plus, he will cost a draft choice. Maybe it will be Berkman, who is a part-time player at this point. He could share 1B and LF. He is a nice stick when healthy. Will there be a big splash? Hamilton possibly? If so, I hope that it does not come at the expense of pitching. Finally, what would it do to our payroll budget to take Johan and the remainder of his salary for a middling prospect and someone from the major league roster?

    Very bad today.
  4. a700hitter
    I like this move. He's a good reliable late inning arm.
  5. a700hitter
    I think this is a good acquisition by the Twins.
  6. a700hitter
    He has me eager with anticipation.
  7. a700hitter
    It was painfully pathetic to watch him. I felt sorry for the guy. He gets an invite to Spring training to prove himself, but they need to conduct the off season as if he doesn't exist.
  8. a700hitter
    In 3 months as a reliever, he had almost no clean outings and he was never dominant. What makes you think he will get his velocity back?
  9. a700hitter
    With the other suitors out of the way and a seemingly clear path for Cherries, I hope he doesn't dither too long looking for the best possible deal, because that is when Cashman can strike with a take it or leave it offer that is too good to turn down. He hits 50 in that bandbox. Cherries didn't quibble with Victorino. If they want Hamilton, just get it done.
  10. a700hitter
    Me too.
  11. a700hitter
    Just cranky on a late train.
  12. a700hitter
    How many of Bard's outings did you see after he came back up?
  13. a700hitter
    This signing will bother me if it happens.
  14. a700hitter
    His velocity was down around 5 mph. That was the most concerning thing. He was a 1 inning reliever for the lat 3 months of the season and never regained his velocity. Very concerning. He was a danger to batters, because he had no idea where the ball was going. If I was the opposing manager, I would have hit the first 2 Sox batters after Bard pitched to send Bobby V the message that it was irresponsible to send Bard to the Mound. He almost killed Encarnacion twice last year. He was very lucky that he got his head out of the way. It's possible that he recovers his command, but can he recover the lost 5 mph?
  15. a700hitter
    How many of his outings did you see when he came back to the big club? Did you see any of his outings at Pawtucket?
  16. a700hitter
    Keep the comments to baseball, please.
  17. a700hitter
    Bard is a big long shot. If he can recover anything close to his past form, it will be a pleasant surprise. I don't think he can be counted as a back of the bullpen guy. I have to believe that people who are optimistic about him did not see him pitch at the end of the season for the Sox. He was atrocious.- no stuff no command, nothing.
  18. a700hitter
    Yes, not today, but yesterday and the day before.
  19. a700hitter
    It would be better than Dumpster for 2/26.
  20. a700hitter
  21. a700hitter
    I'd rather have offered Haren $16 million for one year to get him away from the Nats than to give Dumpster 2 yrs/ $26 million.
  22. a700hitter
    I don't see the need for him. Victorino will play RF everyday. Ross will not platoon with Gomes, because both are right handed. Probably, Kalish is the 4th OF. I think it is more likely that they sign a first baseman who can also play the OF and bat left handed, like Swisher.
  23. a700hitter
    They are talking to Youkilis.
  24. a700hitter
    Worse yet, he takes 45 minute to decide whether or not to eat at Denny's.
  25. a700hitter
    He's 2 for 2 at the Winter Meetings. Will he pull off a 3rd deal today?
