    Oooohh! Lovullo is out of the running. What a stunnong development. What next, Dick Williams is ruled out?

    The possibility of getting Garza does pique my interest, but I have some concerns. I think he throws too many pitches at times and has some trouble getting into the late innings. Also, he was on the DL last season. What is the condition of his arm?

    It is still possible that the compensation for Theo ends up being Sveum.

    February 1st? Be more specific.

    Mid-season form

    I don't know about when he'll be able to throw off a mound, but he certainly looks like he could roll off the mound right now.

    Day 59 of the search for a chimp to pull the levers in the dugout.

    What kind of package do you think it would take for the A's to part with Gio, and what would you be willing to give up to get him?
  12. a700hitter
    I must be mistaken, because I thought you had suggested that the Sox look at acquiring Gio.
  13. a700hitter
    I thought you were a proponent of getting Gio Gonzalez.

    Here's a picture of Joba from a Dental Convention at the Javits Center in NYC this weekend. It looks like his rehab facility has an all you can eat buffet. [ATTACH]806[/ATTACH]

    Yes they are on a path for a repeat right now. Hopefully, there will be a change of course.

    2/20 would have been a good deal as opposed to $14-15 million for 2011.
  18. a700hitter
    Ortiz would be a fool not to accept arbitration, if they think he can get $15million for 2012. He will not do any better than 2/$20 million from anyone. Unless he suffers a career threatening injury or his performance falls off a cliff, he'll do much better than a 1 year deal in 2013 than $5 million.

    Attitudes can be adjusted, but you either have talent or you don't. Beckett has talent.

    ...and if Ortiz accepts the arbitration and hits 25-30 HRs with an .800 OPS, they'll have to decide again at the end of 2012 whether to offer him arbitration. If they offer the arbitration, they'll likely be locked in for another $13+ million for 2013. If they look to cut ties and don't offer the arbitration, they'll get no picks anyway. Getting picks is fine if you are offering arbitration to someone who doesn't have a limited market like Ortiz. If you offer arbitration to Ortiz, they had better be prepared to pay more than his inflated 2011 salary. I remember when they offered arbitration to Tony Graffinino hoping to get draft picks. No one wanted him, so they signed him to a 2 year contract and placed him on waivers in March 2006. He was claimed by KC. If Ortiz is feeling healthy, it's probably a good bet for him to accept the arbitration and roll the dice for 2013.
  22. a700hitter
    In fairness to Lowrie, he has broken down when he starts playing full time. You are right. If he can't stay healthy in a part time role and be ready to play when needed, he's useless.
