    You need to go to the hospital emergency room immediately.

    A lot of people wanted to trade Ellsbury for Lincecum who is looking like a shot pitcher at this point.

    True, but Ortiz would have had to sit and wait until late January early February for such a situation to develop. If he was a free agent, when that happened, the presence of Fielder would have depressed Ortiz market and vice versa, so we don't know how that would turn out. The fact is that Ortiz had plenty of time to generate interest by other teams. He did not. If the Sox had not offered arb, they could have locked him up for 2 years for $18 million. I think that would have bee a reasonable number considering he had no higher offers from other teams.

    All the big market teams either had DH's or wanted the DH position to rotate among a few aging position players. There were no big market teams willing o invest in an aging dedicated DH. There was a lot of discussion about it during the off season, and Ortiz had time before arb was offered and before the deadline for accepting to shop himself. He came up with nothing. Am I certain, that no one would have made him an offer? No, but I think it would have been a very safe bet. I didn't see any team that had the resources and the need for him. The Dunn example does not help your argument. It hurts it, because the White Sox after signing Dunn, were another big market team with no need for Ortiz.

    Crawford went 4-4 last August 6th. In back to back games in May he went 4-4 and 4-5.

    They were comfortable making $5 million offers to pitchers in the off season. If they had saved $5 or $6 million on Ortiz, they could have increased those offers.

    Why would they be limited to exactly $6 million?

    Bard is still all screwed up. He blew a save last night. Here is his line since he has been at Pawtucket:

    As a fan, I don't care much about that, especially after the ticket prices have been set for the year. Secondly, the figures that I have seen indicate that they are over the cap anyway. Third, I wouldn't mind if they used the Scutaro money to improve the team in another area. They have not done so. I never said that there wasn't a sound business motivation for the Sox. However, I don't really care about a few million being spread around the ownership group at the expense of the on field product. That's my fan's perspective. The team would have been better off with Scutaro than Punto. If I was a Sox owner or investor, I might feel different, but I am just a fan. All I know is that Punto sucks and Scutaro was useful.

    Whiny f***. Now, I know why you like him.

    BTW, where the heck are VA and SBF? I am starting to suspect that they have run off together.
