    That's fair. Unfortunately, there is no easy way to deal with this. The integrity of baseball statistics and records has been tainted forever. I lay the blame on Selig, MLB executives, and club owners. It was obvious that the usage was rampant, but they liked the growing attendance and excitement about the HR races. They let the game be disgraced.

    They canceled the game for the hurricane. Did it end up raining a lot in Boston?

    Manny said it was his fault, and he takes responsibility for the ugly ending. That's more than Nomar ever did, and he precipitated his own exit every bit as much as Manny did. http://www.boston.com/sports/baseball/redsox/extras/extra_bases/2010/09/manny_i_would_h.html

    What has changed is that until 2010 this FO had no need to go out and get a big bat. For their entire tenure they have had big boppers. In 2002 they had Nomar and Manny. From 2003 to 2008 they had Manny and Ortiz smack in the middle of their lineup. Most teams would be lucky to have one guy like that. In 2009, they swapped Bay for Manny and still had Ortiz and Youk had become a star. Now there is no Manny or Bay and no one replaced them. Beltre did for 2010, but he can walk. Ortiz is still productive, but aging. The difference is looking ahead to 2011 it will be the first year where the FO has a big need for a big bat. Circumstances have changed.

    I don't think he is good enough for that. He's a minor leaguer who can come up in an emergency.

    I have seen enough of Daniel Nava. He has confirmed what I thought about him.

    Typical Ortiz-- Coming up big and carrying the team

    It was already over.

    I really hope we don't start with the dumpster diving again.

    These awards are pointless popularity contests.

    :lol:My Bronco Friend, I wish any of us mattered enough in the world of sports to have an agenda.

    You are mistaking commentary for philosophy. I never said that I wanted to trade him at any time during the last few seasons. I, in fact, did not want to trade him in the last two years. I would have been as wrong as the FO. Please limit your commentary to a discussion of the moves and not your perception of my philosophy. It's boring.

    Which individual seasons were worth $14 million?

    Why do you always make things about me? Just sayin'.

    J.D. has spent 4 seasons with the Red Sox. In which of those seasons did his production justify his $14 million salary?

    The kid will be so overmatched in the majors right now that he'd make Lowell look like Albert Pujols.

    The talent level of other potential call ups seems really thin and uninspiring.
