    I guess it must be a slow sports news day everywhere. Bobby V's snide remarks about Jeter's flip throw and ARod getting his ass kicked by Varitek have made the news this morning in NY.

    Martin threw out a higher percentage of base stealers last season. Over their careers, Martin has been the better offensive player.

    The starting rotation is on thin ice, not Beckett.

    I didn't think this type of performance clause was permissible. It almost pays for Lester to campaign for vote (maybe even bribe), and maybe out of town writers will vote for him just to spring him from the Sox.

    Did the FO make any sort of statement leading you to believe that Bobby V is a short term solution? He was in Texas and NY for 7 seasons each. If he has success in Boston, why would his tenure be any shorter?

    He's the team's best catcher since Fisk, and he stayed with the Sox for his entire career. No one blocked the plate better than Tek in any era. His left leg must be made of concrete. Guys would hit that left leg sliding in and not only wouldn't the get to the plate but they would spin away from the plate after contact.

    These people who act like theirs is the only childbirth in history irk me. Sure, it's a blessing, but put it in perspective. It's not a world stopping event. It happens millions of times a day. Take a day or 2 to help your wifw and to ooh and ahhh, and then get back to f***ing work. The important thing to the child is that you provide a loving home, stay with the mother, and be a responsible father. There's too much hoopla around births and too much neglect in childhood. It's just a pet peeve of mine as you can tell.

    I think they are very comparable. The knock on Martin that will hold down his value is his injury history. He's not as good as Yadier defensively, but Yadier is in a class by himself right now. Martin is the next level down.

    Ross and Sweeney are better rightfielders than Crawford.

    I think part of the problem was that he had to close his hips and bring his hands back as the pitcher was delivering the ball. It took too much time and he couldn't get around on the good fastballs.

    I can't believe that Bailey already has a strained lat.

    Aren't you concerned that we don't have 5 planned starters. We only have 4. Our depth guys need to cover the 5th slot. What if something happens to one of the 4 in addition? We have to dig further into the depth options. I agree that there is no such thing as a spare pitcher ,which is why I'd like to have 5 planned starters at the start of spring training.

    He's just a very stubborn personality. If people are looking for a statement of contrition, you are not going to get it from Beckett. He is a tough competitor, and hopefully he has come to the realization that in order to compete the way he likes to compete that he has to do some extra conditioning. If he does his work, I don't care if he spits toward the stands and the press box. The greatest hitter of all time did that for his entire career after his rookie season.

    Is your point that all plans are doomed to fail, so that you can never have 5 solid starters for a season?
