I woke up from my nap just in time for Let's Hate the Posters that We Don't Agree with Night. How very fascist of you all.
-
I didn't think Buehrle's contract was that bad.
-
It's really not that much of a contradiction. The Company I work for has billions coming and going out quite regularly. It is a huge financial enterprise, yet it will cheap out on lots of things. They just recently raised the amount that they will spend per employee for Christmas parties from $15 to $25. Right now, the Sox are trying to fill out the roster on the cheap, or at least that is what is being reported in the press. I am holding out hope that they blow through the LT cap.

I don't think that I am going out on a limb here. If Nick Punto had been on the 2011 Red Sox, there would have been no September collapse. :lol::lol:

I didn't say that I was confident that anything good was brewing, just that something is brewing. If BC can build a good bullpen (something Theo could never do), the team should be in good shape. Right now, he has about 1/3 of a pen. He's got some building to do. I never questioned that BC would do the job to the best of his ability, but i did question his ability.

I like Diaz.
-
They still need a RH bat in the OF. They can't have 4 left handed OFers.
-
Quentin? I don't want him. Cuddyer? It doesn't seem like we are in the running for him. I don't know who might be under the radar.
-
I'd really like Beltran to join the Sox, but I think the Cards will land him.
-
Something else must be brewing.
-
He really rips the Punto signing and asks why would the Sox continue to hold onto Aviles if he can't be trusted as the backup at the middle IF and 3B spots. It's a good question.

They can pay Darvish more than Dice K got and spend less money overall than the Sox paid for Dice K if they avoid the stupidity of posting a ridiculously high bid like the Sox did.

I stepped away for a while. While I was gone, I started to like think more positively about Melancon. I never like Weiland, and I never understood why they thought they could take a guy that was a closer in college and make him into a ML starter. I projected him as a bullpen guy, but it would have taken a couple of years to get Weiland where Melancon is. I'll miss Lowrie's bat as a utility guy. I always thought he would be a good hitter from the first time I saw him in ST 2006. However, the guy can't stay healthy and I have no reason to think it will change. I get back to my desk after feeling better about the trade, but then I see this stupid Punto acquisition. This guy stinks. He's versatile. He sucks at 4 positions, just like Willie Harris. I hated that experiment with versatility too. Please Ben!! WTF!!
-
I am glad that we finally have something to discuss. He should be a solid bullpen arm. I'm not sure if he is closer material. So far our pen is shaping up as: Malancon Jenks Albers Morales
-
I though Weiland and Lowrie were chips that could be used in a bigger deal to net a better return. Melancon has a good record against the phillies-- the NL Gold standard, so maybe he is emerging.
-
I feel exactly the same way about this.
-
This is an under the radar move. I am not even sure that Melancon has more upside as a reliever than Weiland who was a closer in college, plus we just lost some bench depth in the IF.
-
Would you like to also Google whether I am a self-proclaimed know-it-all or whether someone else proclaimed it first. Maybe Gammons was the first to call me a know-it-all.

You take everything I post way too seriously. Did you think I was really going to pay Emmz for her services with land instead of memorabilia?:dunno:
-
Did you Google what year Berle died?
