  1. If they aren't ready physically, why would the player force himself onto the roster. If they are fine and ready, why wouldn't the Sox bring them up. I am just saying that it is not automatic that they will be promoted after 30 days.
  2. If Pujols could play with it, Crawford can. If it doesn't interfere with his hitting, he should be playing.
  3. It's not easy, because there are probably not a lot of available options. The available options are probably not that great, but there probably are some options that would be an improvement. They are not going to get the perfect deal, but they still need to act now.
  4. Let's hope that it doesn't bit us in the ass. It probably will, and people will defend this learning disabled FO by saying that it is too late to make the move. The apologies for them after the fact baffle me.
  5. When the 30 day rehab is done, they can still place them back on the DL. They don't have to be activated.
  6. Cook should be up next week. They would be fools to let him walk.
  7. ^ Why isn't this an option to get him on the field now. The throw from LF is nothing. He could toss it back in a couple of times a game.
  8. Look at how the top 5 in our order have been hitting. They have got great #'s. Now Salty is being as adequate as he was in his hot streak last season, but yet we are only 8-10. I love David Ortiz, but he is not going to hit .440 for the season. With the way we have hit, we should be at the top of the division. I think the good hitting highlights how bad our pitching (i.e. bullpen) has been.
  9. He's only 33. His price has probably dropped like a stone.
  10. Yes, that worked out fine. In 2006, he gave up a steady consistent number 5 pitcher who never misses a turn and puts up decent numbers pitching in a bandbox. He's still in the Reds rotation. In returnwe eventually got a couple of guys who might make the majors in 2014. That's really deferred compensation.
  11. When Youk starts hitting, they should move him for the best starting pitcher they can get and bring up Middlebrooks. Package Youk and Doubront.
  12. Does the 3 months include April?
  13. Where are you seeing this report?
  14. 3 or 4 games at the most. This could be a scary thing.
  15. I guess that I have just gotten used to listening to him over the decades. I think Sox fans have been spoiled by Remy as an analyst. He doesn't over do it. He analyzes all the things that the TV viewer would want to know. He knows when to keep quiet and he is very funny. I really think that he is the best analyst/color commentator in the business. I have the MLB Extra Innings package and I listen to all of the announcers at some point during the season.
  16. Two things about the Ortiz acquisition: First, this thread was intended to address Theo's record signing big money free agents. Ortiz was just released by the Twins and was obtained for little cost. Second, Pedro was responsible for the Ortiz signing. Ortiz saw Pedro shortly after he got the news that the Twins released him. Pedro called Theo on the spot and strongly recommended that he sign Ortiz. Theo got the jump on the other GMs thanks to Pedro, and he probably signed him as a favor to his star pitcher. Thank you Pedro for Ortiz.
  17. I like Hawk too. He's an obnoxious homer, he is not as bad as many other team announcers.
  18. Every team is going to nerve-wracking for us this year with this bull pen.
