    He looked slower in the third week of Spring training and he wasn't injured then.

    The trade must have been unfair if only one side is complaining that it got vetoed. Just sayin.
  5. a700hitter
    You've got the best team. Why would you look to quit?
  6. a700hitter
    It's not over, but that doesn't mean that the plan was not very flawed.
  7. a700hitter
    It was the FO off season plan that reeked.
  8. a700hitter
    Why would you sweat it. Your other favorite team has two monsters in the middle of the lineup and a great catalyst at the top of the order. The Sox don't.

    The problem is that Reddick is a lefty, and so is Drew, Hermida and Ellsbury. We need a RH bat.

    He stinks. Marlin trash.

    ...and none of them can tatoo the Monster like Dye.

    Cameron is a long way from being healthy if he needs surgery, and with him out Ellsbury needs to play CF.
  15. a700hitter

    He probably needs a couple of weeks to get ready.
  17. a700hitter
    Dye would be a fine option to platoon in LF. Ellsbury would become the full time CFer.
  18. a700hitter
    It would surely be dedicated to Theo Epstein.

    Cameron has hit the DL with an abdominal tear-- a sort of sport hernia that might require surgery. He'll be out for some time. We can sign Dye without cutting Hermida. Thirty-seven year old CF's break down, and we have this chump for two years. We'll probably get 130 games out of him over the 2 years if we are lucky. http://www.boston.com/sports/baseball/redsox/extras/extra_bases/2010/04/cameron_to_dl.html

    Sign Jermaine Dye to give the offense a shot in the arm. Move Ellsbury back to CF and throw Hermida back on the Marlins garbage dump. This would have an immediate positive impact.

    Five games under .500 at thirteen games into the season and John Henry sees cause for concern. That's good enough for me. http://www.boston.com/sports/baseball/redsox/articles/2010/04/20/high_anxiety_as_even_red_sox_owner_henry_shows_concern/

    Gom is a very shrewd trader. He got the best of this deal by a long shot. Aardsma sucks and only contributes to one category. Granderson will help with runs, RBI, total bases and SB. The upgrade at first over Helton is not worht the hit taken on the other two-thirds of the deal.

    If they hadn't signed Cameron and Beltre, but signed Holliday instead they would have blown their budget but they are already paying a load for this group. They would have great starting pitching and great offense. Instead they are paying a fortune for a team with a glut at the infield corner spot (and the worst offensive player at third is getting most of the PT), and 1 or 2 good offensive outfielders. The team with Holliday would have been a playoff team. This $170 million collection of players will have a tough time getting the last play off spot. Spending $170 million to spend October at home will be a bitter pill to swallow when Holliday would have had a significant impact. We will have to suffer through this very expensive "bridge to nowhere" while arguing who should be getting PT at 1st and 3rd and DH-- Beltre, Lowell, Ortiz and VMart. This glut will result in VMart playing too many games behind the dish where he sucks defensively and Beltre playing too much 3B and he sucks offensively.

    Those are the stars of tomorrow? Lin? Kelly is the best talent of the whole group, but with Beckett, Lester, Lackey and Buccholz the future of the rotation seems secure. Who is going to replace Ortiz, Manny/Bay, and Lowell as offensive forces?
  25. a700hitter
    This team is embarrassing itself.
