    Another day and no pitching acquisition and nothing else. Yesterday, we signed some kangaroo from the outback. Whoopee!! He'll be playing softball in a couple of years with the other guy we signed last year from down under. Have a good night. See ya tomorrow for more of the same. We're within days of camp opening for pitchers and catchers-- less than a week. BTW: I saw a picture of Youk. He doesn't look trimmed down very much.

    The language I quoted above is directly from the old CBA. I believe this provision has remained the same in the new CBA. It requires that the player be cut "for failure to exhibit sufficient skill or competitive ability". It ain't gonna happen. Zero chance. The union would come down on the Sox like a ton of bricks. It would make a farce of arbitration and be demonstrable bad faith. As Jacko said, Ortiz would win and get the best of both worlds, he'd be set free and the Sox would have to pay his entire salary.

    Don't fall for the baiting Fred. He is a master baiter.

    The bolded portion is a precondition for cutting a player with a contract in Spring Training. After going to binding arbitration, the Red Sox had better be able to show that Ortiz can no longer DH in the major leagues if they are going to win their case. The chances of him getting cut in Spring Training are slim and none barring a tragic injury.

    If the season were to start tomorrow, The Sox bench would be: McDonald Punto Shoppach Talk about your thin benches. When Crawford comes back, add Sweeney to the bench. Still thin, Our bullpen currently is: 1. Bailey 2. Melancon 3. Albers 4. Morales 5. Miller 6. Doubront/Bowden The depth of this bullpen is not overwhelming either.

    Worse than that. He's a Yankee fan.

    I was wondering if anyone would catch that little edit.

    It's based on clinical studies. He's an MD.

    They are tied to him for 2012.

    They only needed to get a couple of good starts or relief appearances from him. The cost would have been Lars (with no Red Sox future and no trade value) and PTBNL with a future pumping gas. That is probably also Lar's future profession.

    Harden is not an option.
