Ah, but can you?

I didn't know about his shoulder surgery until the trade had been announced. I had concerns about it immediately, before he got his physical. I asked whether it could affect his extension and power. Check the threads. I even made a joke that he was getting checked by the same doctor that checked Schilling's shoulder. I wouldn't want a damaged player. There are other options. Since everyone on this forum thinks they know what a700 thinks in every circumstance, was i supposed to say that I would have blamed Theo? :lol: You people need to spend more time trying to figure out yourselves instead of trying to figure me out. People that I have known for decades can't figure me out. :lol:

I really, really really hope that our doctors gave his shoulder a thorough examination.
-
Noooo, this guy is like 100 years old and he chokes every time he faces the Yankees. Let him play in some senior league.

Would you like to hand Clay the ball instead of Burnett every 5th day?

I was too confrontational trying to get you to put your money where your mouth. I admitted so the other day. As far as people jumping in, when they jump in to call me an idiot or a jerk or make some other characterization about me because I disagree with an organizational move or offer an opinion about the negotiating skills in the FO, I do shake my head. I find it strange that people will engage in personal insults with a real person over criticisms of public figures in sports.

No long standing member is the subject of more name-calling than me on this forum. I criticize players and management alike. Tito gets plenty of criticism from me, and he is my all-time favorite Red Sox manager. People tend to remember criticisms of the heroes and idols, and they resent it. They need to get over it and realize that their heroes and idols are public figures and their decisions will get scrutinized. It has nothing to do with like or dislike.

The Yankees are vowing not to go beyond 6 years. Expect a 10 year deal with them.
-
Sounds like a winner to me. With those move, the Sox not only close the gap on the Yankees, but IMO they would blow their doors off.
-
Honestly, I don't even know what you are driving at. Does it have to do with the Red Sox or the Adrian Gonzalez move, or does this have something to do with your opinion of me? If it has to do with discussing the Red Sox or trades, I'm happy to discuss. If it has something to do with your opinion of me, I really don't care what you think. I'll keep my opinion of you to myself. This is a Red Sox forum.

No one would disagree, just as no one would judge a move based on whether he liked or disliked a GM.
-
Can Beltre play OF? How many people would he DL running for the ball in the gaps. It makes me shiver.
-
Are Adam Rubin and Joel Sherman also Boras' mouthpieces?
-
I like that. Of course, if they get Beltran, who is my # 1 choice on the RH hitter poll, I'll still hate Theo, because I don't like his kind, whatever kind that is.:lol:

What is "a person like Theo"? Why don't I like him and what GM's would a guy like me like? I don't know Theo or what kind of person that he is. I judge the moves as they come. Some I like. Some I don't. I love getting AGon, so why would I dislike Theo? He got the guy I wanted. Again, let's leave the sports discussions to the sports and not the perceived personalities and beliefs of the poster. I busted your balls about making a bet yesterday, and you had posters jumping to your defense, and today you return to your personal characterizations of me which I have repeatedly told you is not within the rules of this community. How about knocking it off with that tactic once and for all. You don't know what I like or who I like or why. You don't know me. Let's discuss sports. Va, how about jumping in here to show you have some fairness.

Not true. I posted positively about the Beltre deal last year. Also thought they did a good job holding the line with Boras on Dice K, because the Sox had all the leverage and used it. The posting fee was a huge miscalculation, but the negotiation with Boras was a good job. Overall, I don't think contract negotiations are their strong point, and I think they were out-negotiated here. I think they were lucky that Werth signed before AGon left town, because I think the signing of Werth was the reason why they called Boggs. Until they sign AGon to the extension, he has the upper hand. Here's the point that you are missing. My only agenda is to get the player, so on the post mortem I have no agenda. My agenda has been completed once we get the player I like. I hope they overspend and get Crawford too. You have an agenda in this discussion, not me.
-
If the Sox don't sign him, I can't see any possible reason for the trade.
-
I know who we traded, but why did we make the trade? He was non-tendered. So what do the Sox get out of that trade?
