  1. What's your point? Does that make them good decisions?
  2. I'll say it again. This is a strategy that would have the Red Sox watching the Post Season from their couches for 3 more years. Stop the whining about yankee money. The Sox have got plenty of money. Unfortunately, Theo squandered a boatload of it before leaving for Chicago.
  3. Did he pull a hamstring on the way out the door?
  4. Yes get rid of all our stars and get lots of draft picks and prospects. 2015 tickets will be really hard to get, but there will be no meaningful September games befor 2015.
  5. I think Cuddyer would be a good addition, but I'd rather have Carlos Beltran. Cuddyer is solid, but Beltran is a stud.
  6. Cost should not be a major consideration for the Red Sox this off season. They need to return the team to prominence quickly. Missing the playoffs two seasons in a row and last season's debacle damaged the franchise. If there are no meaning full games in late August or September 2012, the damage could start hitting their bottom line.
  7. How much must Padre fans hate Jed Hoyer? He was the San Diego GM for 2 seasons during which he traded their biggest star for some prospects from Boston. One year after he trades AGon and rolls out a totally s*** team, he beats it out of town to go to Chicago. Good luck to Cubs fans. At least they don't have any big stars for Hoyer to give away.
  8. 4th OFers don't win Gold Gloves.
  9. http://www.boston.com/sports/baseball/redsox/extras/extra_bases/2011/11/rugby_coming_to.html
  10. IDK why his fixed mechanics would not translate to starting. Do relievers have one type of mechanics and starters have different mechanics? I don't think so. Here's some reasons why this might happen: 1. There are 2 openings in the rotation 2. He had been a successful starter in college 3. He has 2 plus pitches and his changeup is serviceable 4. It is rumored that he has expressed a desire to be a starter.
  11. Ooops, my recollection after 11 years was off by 9 days. I am surprised that I posted that it was a Saturday, because i do clearly remember that it was a Sunday night ESPN nationally televised game. I do remember that the last out of the game was a grounder to second and the second baseman double or triple clutched and just nipped the runner at first base. I'm not sure, but I think the second baseman was Jeff Frye. I don't remember who hit the ball. The King is never wrong about the important stuff. You are not worthy. You should be honored to be in my presence.
  12. I don't think the FO will be looking to rebuild this team while paring payroll. They have missed the post season two years in a row, and IMO, a third season in a row would be unacceptable to ownership. I expect that payroll will go up and the the FO and ownership will want to make a strong statement by returning to the playoffs. Madson, as the Sox closer, would have us puking out our guts before the end of May.
  13. Welcome to TalkSox.
  14. They probably didn't realize that Jenks signed his contract at an all you can eat buffet.
  15. But Beltre was not fragile. I don't see the need for a fragile LH hitting outfielder.
