Since when has banning ever stopped anyone.

Don't tell Dipre. He'll come back for blood.

I stated Beltre earlier. I don't count Ortiz as a FA signing. He got released by the Twins and was picked up for the waiver price of $50 k. If it wasn't clear before, when i made the thread I was talking about big money FA signings, not situations where players are just cut loose.

Who would have figured that at this stage of their careers that Todd Helton would be outperforming Youk.
-
Duke had some busts, most notably Steve Avery, but he did sign Manny and Damon.
-
I guess Scutaro would go in the success category. He did what was expected of him when he signed.
-
Offerman was Duquette's signing.

Still waiting for some success stories. One success story would be Adrian Beltre, but that was just a 1 year deal.

Bust-- John Smoltz

Francuoer is no longer a waiver wire possibility. The Royals have signed him to a 2 year extension. http://hardballtalk.nbcsports.com/2011/08/18/the-royals-sign-jeff-francoeur-to-a-two-year-extension/

If he plays 100 games this season, which is a long shot, he'll have averaged 125 games/yr over the course of his Red Sox contract. What a horse!!!

Theo has had an astonishing record of failures in the Free Agent Market. He has several colossal failures, some under performers and few if any successes. Let's name them here and debate them. I'll start off with a big bust: Edgar Renteria They had to eat about $24 million of his contract to get rid of him. That is a big time fail.

People in Doji's Splash Zone should put on their rain ponchos.

I'm not ignoring how he hits lefties. They got him to be a utility player, not a big bench bat and not a platoon player. As a utility player, he plays all positions poorly. As a bat coming off the bench, I really don't like him as the #1 PHing option off the bench. I'd rather have a Jeff Francuoer or Carlos Quentin for that.

He couldn't crack the starting lineup in KC and his fielding is atrocious. He has botched several plays for the Sox already at 2B, SS, 3B and RF. Did you see how he executed that run down the other night while playing SS. He looked like a little leaguer. Pedroia wasn't brought up from the minors after 2/3 of the season and thrown into a pennant chase and a post season. When he came up in 2006, the team was out of it. And he was terrible in 2006.

Jorge took 3 down the pipe. Game ova. Yanks lose. Their lead is 1/2 game.
