I think they are trying very hard not to bust the cap, and frankly if another pitcher or 2 come off the board, it wouldn't be worth busting the cap for the likes of Joe Saunders.
-
That is a legitimate fear. We still don't know what caused the stress fractures, so how can we be confident that they will not recur? I am not very confident about getting a full strong season from him.

We may have to live with Harden, because the news about Oswalt and Garza and Kuroda is not encouraging. Personally, I think Harden will hit the DL before the finish of April. Plus, I don't think he will come so cheap.

The Sox were only 2 years behind the Yankees.

I don't think the FO wanted him back either, but they miscalculated.

Red Sox sign Carlos Silva, Ciriaco, Spears

Millwood's release was a mistake. He should have been taking the ball in September. -
If a slug like Saunders lands a 3 year deal, the Sox had better forget about the cap and abandon the wait and see approach and move on Garza, Oswalt or Kuroda. Otherwise, we will end up trying to put Carlos Silva in the rotation and they'll essentially be flushing their season in the toilet.

The Orioles are rumored to be interested in Saunders. Although he stinks, the Red Sox have some sort of weird kryptonite thing when it comes to soft throwing lefties. If the O's sin him, we will be pulling our hair out at least a few times in 2012.

I would not give him a 3 year deal.

No one liked Bret Myers. What about Wandy Rodriguez?
-
-
Aren't Carlos Silva and Boof Bonser the same person?
-

I hope those are not his only options or we are in a load of trouble.

I do tolerate you. I only call you out when you pile on bully-style onto someone else's insult. You do it every day. Edit: Your first post out of the box today piled on an insult by another poster against SoxSport. He was called a "troll" for his views and you followed up saying that his view was ridiculous.
-
I asked this question yesterday and got only one response. We've all read that Kuroda and Oswalt are out of the Red Sox price range. The Cubs want a king' ransom for Garza. No one wants Bret Myers. I think he be okay. So, where do the Sox turn to fill the rotation? Only Palodios responded. He would opt for Saunders. What would the rest of you do? Many of you think Benny Boy is doing a great job. I am interested in hearing what you think he will do.

Your comments before you move on rarely discuss the merits of the argument. They are usually just insults or admonishments to stop discussing the matter. I have never attempted to shutr down a discussion like you do on a regular basis. I don't mock posters on a regular basis as you do, because I disagree with their opinion. You say that I beat a dead horse, but in each of those discussions there is another poster and frequently numerous posters actively disagreeing with me. Are they also beating a dead horse. You never admonish anyone but me on these issues. There's a lot of bias on your part. If other posters think an issue is worthy of discussion and I discuss it with them shouldn't we be able to do so without you telling me (not those with opposing views) to shut up? This is a message board. You need to get off people's backs. If you disagree with them on a substantive issue, feel free to debate the issue. It really gets tired that instead of arguing substance that you just call people negative and curmudgeon and ridicule them in various other ways.

Farrell is interchangeable with about 10 to 15 other pitching coaches. It's not like he got such great performance out of the very expensive staffs he was given. He never taught his pitchers how to hold runners. They never used a slide step. The fielding of our pitching has also been atrocious. I don't know if the pitching coach is responsible for that, but the pitchers have been awful at fielding their position.
-
I don't know why people are arguing whether "Yawkeyism" applies to this situation. The real point is that both of these guys, especially Wakefield, suck and they should have no place on the Red Sox roster even if they played for free.
