A possible under the radar acquisition for Ben & Cherries?

A Salty jersey? Talk about your AAAA players.

But for the next 3-5 years the Angel's fans will get to watch a very special player.

If the Sox sign Madson for 4/$44, I will be so pissed.

The thing about the Hall of Fame is that there are no levels of distinction. The guys there are just the best in the history of the game. Pujols and ARod should both end up in Cooperstown, and people can debate about who was the better player. Yes, Pujols is the superior hitter, but the game includes more than that. ARod could run like the wind, steal tons of bases, play great SS covering lots of ground with a canon arm. I'd probably pick ARod to start a team, but maybe my metrics for base running and fielding etc. are a little different from WAR. No single stat is definitive in determining who is the better player. It may be the best measure out there, but it is not definitive.

Stealth Aircraft. :lol: Very funny.

That type of attitude tends to spread if it goes unchecked.

Since 2008 I have known that he is a self-centered prima dona. The shenanigans this year confirmed that opinion and this latest BS shows it even further.

If Darvish is the real deal, Valentine would know. I think his comments were very coy, and I'm not sure how to interpret them. He was very frank in his assessment of Dice K when he posted. He said that he was a back end of the rotation guy who wasn't the flame thrower that he was billed as. Maybe Valentine was more frank then, because he was not affiliated with any team, and now he is reluctant to be critical, or maybe he likes the guy and he wants the Sox to bid on him. If we bid on this guy, I have to think he will be much better than Dice k.

I think the team is salvageable this season. They might need to break through the LT cap, but not by a lot. I like Bard and Aceves in the rotation. They should be an upgrade over last season and the top 3 are strong. We just need a RH OFer to split time with Kalish or Reddick. The hardest thing will be to build a bullpen from scratch. With Aceves and Bard in the rotation and Paps gone, all we have is a fat Jenks with a bad back. It will take a lot of skill to build a good bullpen from scratch, but it can be done. Tampa did it last year. If Ben can do it this year, he will have done something that Theo never did.

The Cards will move Berkman to first base, where he belongs and they will probably sign Beltran immensely improving their OF defense while bringing in a nice stick too, and they'll save a load of dough.

Almost every year by the time this event rolls around, the Sox have some new acquisition that has the fans all excited. This year not only do we not have an acquisition, but we lost a star- Papelbon right on the heels of a collapse. I expect the Sox staff will be extra friendly at this event.

That would be a severe overpay.

ARod is a better all around player, fielding and base running.

A blockbuster move by the Sox. It looks like I had correctly interpreted BC's "under the radar" remark as dumpster diving.

i never saw Teddy Ballgame play, but I did see him manage.
