15 million? He'd cost the Sox $20 million.

"People of color" always reminds me of the term "colored people", which I guess had been the PC term of the '50's before it became a pejorative in the 60's as it was replaced with black. It seems that things are going in circles.

Winning works.

I think this is a little expensive.

You have little imagination and apparently no sense of adventure.

I'll buy a vowel, Pat.

Cards Acquire Theriot. http://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2010/11/cardinals-acquire-ryan-theriot.html Red Sox do nothing, but they remain calm.

Sometimes a little urgency is good before the other fellas eat your lunch.

It seems so much longer this year, because we have been in hot stove season since the first week of August.

There's nothing else to talk about. I too have to fill my time talking something about the Sox. If they would just get going and start making some moves, I wouldn't bother to read such stuff.

I am suspecting that it might be, but I am hoping that it is not. Everyday I am begging them to sign Carl Crawford, so I am clearly hoping this is not a FO propaganda piece.

Is this story a plant to keep the fans from complaining if they don't make any major acquisitions? http://www.boston.com/sports/baseball/redsox/extras/extra_bases/2010/11/fact-finding_mi.html

IMO, the Jeter thing would be exponentially worse on the hurt meter.

RIP. He now qualifies to be on my list of favorite Yankees. http://msn.foxsports.com/mlb/story/gil-mcdougald-new-york-yanees-former-all-star-dies-at-82-112910

Maybe there is some math for the hedge fund guy.

As interesting as it would be if the Sox were to sign Jeter, it would take one huge brass set to do it. I don't think anyone in the FO has what it takes to make such a bold move. John Henry, is a Hedge Fund guy. Everything in his world is driven by mathematics. No math would indicate doing this move. It would be counter intuitive to say the least. The Sox FO just doesn't take big risks or make bold moves. Theo is particularly risk averse. He made a bold move when he traded Nomar, but let's face it Nomar forced his hand and so did Manny. The last truly bold risky move the Sox made was the Beckett trade, and Theo wasn't involved in that. That was done by the old guy who has since retired. I give it about a 2% chance that the Sox even make Jeter an offer. There's no way they sign him. No balls.

Daily Reminder to the FO: Sign Carl Crawford! . . . Or Jayson Werth . . . Or even Derek Jeter. Good God, do something!
-
It would turn the baseball world upside down from the minute they signed him. The Red Sox would probably sell out their Spring Training and Regular Season within days of the tickets going on sale. It would probably re-engage Yankee fans in a big way as there would be wholesale changes there. They'd probably take the $ and sign both Lee and Crawford. It would be very very interesting, and after all, this is an entertainment business.

As crazy as the sign Jeter thing seems, it could have some merit. I do think that losing Jeter would tear the guts out of the 2011 Yankee team. He is the centerpiece. If he could bounce back offensively, he would be a nice addition to the lineup, and he could finish his career at 3B where we currently have an opening. If it works out, it would have the added benefit of making every Yankee fan's head explode. If he flops, Sox fans could boo him mercilessly making the Yankee fans cry for their hero. That is a better downside than if we sign some other player and he flops.

Barajas is much better than I would have expected. Offensively he has some good power.
