This just made me shudder with fear. If the Yanks scoop up 1 or 2 starters and Beltran, we would be in for a very long season.

What some people are not grasping here is that it is irrelevant how Bard performs in the closer's role in 2012. If he gets 50 saves with a 0.50 ERA, it will not vindicate Ben the Boob. It's not like losing Papelbon will give Bard the opportunity to pitch. It will only change his inning. If the new 8th inning guy doesn't do as well as Bard, the late inning performance of the Pen will be very negatively.

What will not be funny will be if the GM turns out to have made the wrong decision in both cases. I don't remember a lot of people moaning and complaining when Crawford got signed. There really wasn't a lot of griping about it. People started griping about it when it was painfully obvious that he was performing well below his career standards.

So it is a better bet to give a 3 year contract to a 34 year old than a 4 year contract to a 30 year old. I'm not seeing the logicm

Some of us here have understood that all along. These people are idiots if they think they can go replace him. It's not going to happen.

That was fast!

KRod's K's are down a lot since 2007-- almost 2 per 9 innings. His WHIP since 2007 has been horrendous too.

Thank god that Pepcid Complete is back in production. It was out of production for several months.

KRod is vested for 2012 to make $13 million.

Like who?

The per season cost was no more than the Sox paid Papelbon in 2011. He's only 30. I think he will hold up until age 34.
