When I disagree with IOrtiz about a player and i make a funny remark like "Lars-Land", he does the mature thing and he laughs at the funny crack and he disagrees. He doesn't do an hour of research of fangraphs etc. to try to prove me wrong. He understands that these are opinions. He might be right. I might be right. Who knows.

Other than personality, I don't know. The difference in their personality shouldn't cause such a delay in the decision. There isn't a massive due diligence to be done. My Employer has decided to purchase major insurance companies in less time. There are two finalists. Take a vote and get it over with. The delay is ridiculous.

He could be well on his way to Lars-Land-- a prospect with no chance of cracking the Red Sox lineup and no value to anyone else.

Reddick's ceiling is not very high. They would trade him tomorrow in a package, but the other teams know that he is 25 and nothing special, so no one wants him. We really tend to over-inflate the value of our young players. He projects to be an average OFer at best. Kalisih has a higher ceiling. Other teams would want him.

Lamont or Valentine... it isn't going to make much of a difference. Just make a decision have the press conference and get on with building the team.

The Jays asked for a commitment from the Sox in advance. This highlights for me fact that the Red Sox did not do the same with the Cubs. The Sox were either sloppy and stupid, or maybe they were just anxious to get Theo out of town. They had to know that they would lose all leverage once they granted the permission.

A much better deal than Bruce Chen for 2yrs/$9 million.
-
A pitching machine aor a hitting tee would be a better option than Wakefield.

Welcome to TalkSox. Tell us something about yourself.

If you could buy that performance going forward, it would be a bargain, but look at the guy's career. I have no reason to believe that he can show any consistent success. I might have taken a 1 year flier on him, but not a 2 year contract. He's as likely to go 3-5 and be in the minors by June as he is to repeat last years success.

If crap like Chen can get 2yrs/9 million, what will real MLB pitchers get?

Quick Poll-- Will Bobby Valentine be Named Red Sox Manager?

This is gibberish and poppycock at best. It borders on the disturbed. -

So it was Epstein who was responsible for those horrendously stupid lineups down the stretch, e.g. DMac batting 5th behind Ortiz. Tito, you have my apologies. -
As the 8th inning guy, he's a possibility, but I don't have a high opinion of him. He's been very inconsistent, and he logs a lot of DL time.

First off, if the FO is so thin-skinned that they would make moves to placate the fans to avoid being the object of criticism, they should all be fired. Their job is to improve the team. If they can"t do that and take the heat that comes along with it, they need to get out of our kitchen. As for getting a closer and keeping Bard as the 8th inning guy, other than KRod, I don't see any possibilities that I like, and KRod's price tag will probably be very high. I don't like Bell. He's 34 and he will want 3 years. I'd rather have given 4 yrs to Paps. The best thing the Sox can do to help their bullpen is to bolster the starting rotation. If they don't and fatso Jenks cannot play a significant role, the bullpen will be a shambles by the end of June.
