I could see a possibility of getting David Wright from the Mets for a hefty package of prospects and then swapping Youk for Santana (an even salary swap). Wright and Santana are both only 28 years old.
-
I am surprised that you view Santana as a castaway. He has compiled more than 200 innings in 3 of the last 4 seasons, and in each of those seasons he pitched to a sub 4 ERA. That's a pretty good track record.
-
Would the Sox top 2/$12 million for Saunders?
-
The poor Mets are going to be such door mats in the NL East in 2012. They should just unload everyone. What would you think about the Sox emptying the farm for David Wright and trading Youkilis for a top starting pitcher?
-
He'd be a solid #4, and bard could go back to the pen and be the closer.
-
As much as I like Bailey's stuff, I don't trust the health of his arm. Breslow may be the better option for the Sox, and he'd be cheaper.
-
Is Santana being made available by the Angels. He would be very interesting.
-
Like you said. We were spit-balling. We don't have to defend everything to the death. Why should we be held to a higher standard than Ben, who hasn't had to defend his offer of arbitration to Ortiz.
-
I'm a fan. I do this for fun. I don't dive too deep on their stats. I pretty much go by what the experts (who supposedly do that analysis) say about them. Right now, our system is not getting great grades.

I think if Crawford could play RF, Soriano in LF is not a crazy notion. I'd split time between him and Kalish, although Kalish is a far superior RF to Crawford.
-
Good baseball discussion.
-
I never thought of applying so many levels of accomplishment to prospects. A can't miss star prospect could probably end up in the top 3 categories-- you would hope.

He has terrible judgment and instincts in the OF. They gave up tying to even to get him in proper position for hitters. Piniella just threw up his hands and let him play wherever he wanted. He would position himself ridiculously close to the LF foul line for almost every batter. I'd stick him in LF where a mistake would just be double. In RF, a mistake is a triple or inside the park homer.
-
Would you move Crawford to RF to make room for Soriano in LF?

Knee micro-surgery is the explanation, not a series of mystery strains and tweaks.

In over 30, 000 posts (I need to do more with my life:lol:), you and other long termers should realize that I am not a one trick pony. Just because i have a philosophy about the prospects doesn't mean that I'd be giving away the jewels. We just don't have many jewels right now, not at any level. Sure some of the guys at the lower levels might be highly thought of, but there is not many who are big time blue chippers. I am disappointed that after all this time that you still think I am one-dimensional in my views.

And a reliever comes off the Board
-
And Beltran comes off the board. My Christmas wish list is disappearing fast. Garza is still available.
-
The guy couldn't catch a fly ball. He wasn't just overmatched at bat. I hope he can be included in a trade package. It would be his only value for the Sox.
-
The talent in our system is not very highly rated. I'm not the one that rates 'em. Also, telling me how I I would react in a hypothetical situation is irrelevant and obnoxious.
