Pineda is a huge kid who can throw 96-97 consistently. He's a big horse and he's only 22, and he already made an All Star team. I think the kid has quite a future.

You are getting off the point of the post that I replied to. You brought up the philosophy of not trading a superstar position player for a pitcher and compared it to the Montero deal. I don't see the application. Montero is a prospect, not a superstar position player. I didn't bring Lavarnway into the discussion.

I guess this is the big news today for the Red Sox. Ben and Cherries has probably worked all week crunching the numbers on this deal.

I think you are probably right. The prices are not going to come down.

He's done basically nothing. We are so news starved that we got giddy over getting a guy who throws 40 innings a year with a bad elbow to replace Papelbon. He got a guy Melancon from the Stros and a catcher that can't hit .200 in Shoppach. This is really like a Mets off season, and they are on the fringe of bankruptcy.
-
To sum up the off season thus far. The Yankees have added two pitchers to their rotation-- Pineda and Kuroda. The Red Sox have replaced their closer Papelbon with an injury prone Bailey and added Melancon. I don't think we have closed the 7 game gap in the standings.

He couldn't throw you out if you were carrying me on your back and they pitched out.

Dumpster Dipshits!!

The danger is that his buddy Beckett talks Bobby V into keeping Tek as his personal catcher.

On the bright side, my Sox tickets arrived in the mail today. Because I had to purchase Sox Pax of 4 games, I have a number of tickets for games that I will not be using. All seats are infield grandstand. I'm not looking for a profit -- just face value plus the $2.50/ticket convenience charge. If anyone is interested, PM me and I'll tell you what games are available.

You just got an All Star pitcher for a DH that still has rookie status. You should be loving this trade. We should have traded them Lavarnway for the guy. -

I think we have enough fans on this forum to make a difference if we took up a collection.

Just what we need Tek and Wakefield in the Fort Myers clubhouse throwing banana peels in the path of the pitchers and catchers. Some poster(s) excoriated another poster (I think Fred) for his fear that the Sox would look to bring back these over the hill bums. I think his fear has just been justified.

I don't think it is a very good situation when you have to start the season with your depth starters in the rotation. That would put an early strain on the bullpen, especially coupled with the fact that it would be unrealistic to expect Aceves to work deep into games. It is possible that Doubront steps up and wins a rotation spot, but other than that the others are just not very good options.

Of the pitchers on the list, which do you think are the top 4 or 5 that should be available. I think the Yanks have Hammels targeted. I also think that the Giants realize that their teams in that ballpark need to be built around pitching. They have been making big efforts to retain their top pitchers. Other than those two who else do you see as a target?
