  1. He's a nice minor league option. If that's all it took to get him, it would have been a "value acquisition." I wouldn't pay $3 million for the guy, but a minor league contract... yes.
  2. Then how is it that you are right so often?
  3. Is there an "s" in Sean? :dunno:
  4. Yes, and he will cost as almost as much $ as the other 2 plus we can give up talent to get him. And he's the worst performer of the three. What a bargain! :thumbsup: But we may have to settle for him. I would not consider him to be a "value acquisition", but what do I know. I don't run a baseball club. They probably have a top secret strategy that I couldn't begin to comprehend.
  5. This really describes our pitching depth moves.
  6. Sad but true. Funny in a way too.
  7. Right back atcha.:harhar::thumbsup::thumbsup:
  8. I am with you on this, but who figured that Jackson would get more on a 1 year contract than Oswalt. I never would have guessed that.
  9. This off season has been like the baseball version of the movie Groundhog Day. I need this off season to end, and I am not looking forward to another one yet.
  10. Ow come on SFF! JD was jumping up and down so much on the inside when Ells stole home that he almost had to go on the DL.
  11. That's a steaming hot pile of you know what. It ain't depth.
  12. Pal is certainly one of the most tolerant posters with regard to the FO. He almost always errs on the side of giving them the benefit of the doubt. When he starts questioning what is going on, you have to believe that the FO has made some boo boos. Thank goodness this team has a bunch of talent and that it really just needs one good starting pitcher. If he gets one, everyone should be optimistic about 2012. If he can't manage to land a starting pitcher, lots of people will be displeased with Benny.
  13. Off seasons are very long when your team stops winning games when August ends.
  14. A $5 million offer to Oswalt is absurd. Of course, what do I know. I don't run a baseball club. We did pay a combined $10 million to Smoltz and Penny one year. Neither pitched a full season for the Sox. The only reason that he hasn't signed with the Rangers already is probably because after hearing our ridiculous low-ball offer they are re-doing their proposal to shave off a couple of million before they make their offer. I am looking forward to the movie about the Red Sox 2011 -12 off-season entitled No Money Ball.
  15. Because it is not a major league contract, we get no compensation pick. The compensation pick thing has not really worked out to well for Benny Boy this off season.
  16. We can't afford him. We're a small market team!
  17. Red Sox fans will be crying in the streets like Koreans at kim jung ils funeral.
