Are those of you who are insisting that the Red Sox were not lucky to benefit from Beltre's 2010 performance in favor of resigning him? Certainly, the continuation of his 2010 performance would be well worth the contract he is being offered.

Daily Appeal to the FO: Get Carl Crawford. Get somebody.

Unfortunately, Jeter is a hero to many millions of yankee fans- not just pink hats. A lot of Yankee fans from the beginning of the Steinbrenner era don't care about the money aspect. If jeter signs a huge contract and has to DH after this season, they don't care. He's their man. They want him to be able to go out under his own terms.

I look at some other pictures of Anderson. Thanks.

Does anyone recognize this guy? He was taking pictures last week with some fans in Atlantic City. The photo is very poor quality. [ATTACH]720[/ATTACH]

I was just joking with Dipre because he has always been a staunch Drew supporter. When I saw your post mentioning Drew, I thought about Dipre. When I saw him post in the thread shortly after your post, I thought he had some JD telepathy.

http://www.nypost.com/p/sports/yankees/post_poll_nearly_out_fair_say_offer_edyGaDpru07frUa9LoutKM This also from the NY Post: It looks like Jeter is being set up as the bad guy by the Yankees. It will be interesting to see how this ends.

I was joking. Is this Dipre... the self-proclaimed defender of J.D. Drew? Read the thread. There are derogatory statements by E1 about Drew. Don't you defend J.D. any more?
-
I thought you would excoriate E1 for saying that he'd like to trade in J.D.

Exactly. If he read the thread, a lot of us would be happy with either one. However, Crawford would by far have the bigger impact. He is the much better player.
-
I don't know what you mean by "get him at all costs". Any team that signs him is going to be signing him for what they think he is worth. Hopefully, that is the Red Sox. I do think he is worth much more than Werth. He's younger and more talented. Edit: I'll be thinking it was a mistake if he stays in the AL and continues to be a Red Sox wrecking ball.
-
I'm in for that, but he is the only Marlins player worth watching. Their attendance would take a big hit. To justify moving Hanley, they'd have to clean out the Sox farm system. That being said, I'd empty the farm system for Hanley.
-
I'm not going to complain about getting either one of them, but I think it would be a mistake not to sign Crawford. As far as giving Werth a chance, he'll be no different than any other big $ FA. He'll be under a microscope from the beginning. We've got more needs than just an OFer at this point, and I have to say that I am getting a bit anxious waiting for stuff to start happening.

It depends on the height of the balls hit to LF, but after a quick look at the tracker, it seems that at most 24 would have gone out of Fenway. I have no idea how many of the balls to LF would have been high enough to clear the wall.
-
Looking at the hit tracker for 2010, he would have hit 22 HRs at Citifield. Not exactly "light tower power."
-
Here was your question: It was a bit snarky ...no? The Sox have played Philly and I watch every Sox game, so I have seen him play. I've watched other Philly games too. I answered your question and you reply with name-calling?
-
Yes, in fact, I have been to Citizens Field in Philly. Have you?
-
That has been my concern since the season ended-- that FO would settle into the belief that the 2010 team was good enough if it didn't have injuries. It might have been, but there were other issues that needed addressing, and certainly if you subtract Beltre and VMart without making some big moves, the team is not going to be good enough. I think they are looking to make some big moves, but sometimes you need to close the deal. If they don't, someone else will. The FA talent pool is limited this year, so the prices will be up. They need to act.

Jose Reyes was discussed a bit yesterday. Getting him would be huge. We could slide Scutaro to 3B. I'm not big on the first base options. I just don't see Konerko leaving Chicago, and I don't like Lee or Pena. I like Dunn, but not for a long term deal, and it would take a long term deal to get him. What about Overbay? He murders us.
-
FYI. My definition of s*** season = no playoffs. No Werth, no Crawford, no Beltre = no playoffs. We might (I stress might) surpass Tampa because they will lose too many players, but the Yankees will blow us away, especially if they get Lee. If the Angels get Crawford, they will be resurrected. The only question will be how long we stay in the Wild Card hunt.
