    That would put you at 3 (in bold), so you wouldn't win or lose.

    No, I'm not counting bullpen arms count except for closer. Bullpen regulars other than closer are pretty rare. The expected tenure by a non-closer is pretty short if you look at the turnover in our pen over the last several years, and most of them are not major contributors. Also, no current Sox like Bard or Buchholz count. Only guys not currently in the big league who come up through the Sox system count. I hope that clarifies the bet.

    If you set the over/under too high, no one would take the over. We are not talking about guys merely making the roster. I am refering to guys that are regulars. Shall we start the clock running? By the beginning of 2013, you are betting that 4 or more guys will emerge from the Sox minor league system to claim starting jobs in the lineup or starting rotation. We shall see.

    Because it would make his new Employer look like fools. Do you really think he would be so stupid and indiscreet? I don't

    If the Mets didn't examine him thoroughly, that would make the Mets and Bay unlikely sources of the MRI report. That would leave...

    Not a big bopper among them, with the possible exception of Berkman, who is damaged goods. Mauer has been taken off the board.

    Does he become a FA after this season?

    Well, there goes the crown jewel for the 2010 off season. I expect Pujols will stay with the Cards. No big bats will be hiting the market next season. They should have made a bigger play for Matt Holliday, IMO.

    As slow as he was last year, he had 2 SBs

    If he gets a good jump, he could make it standing up.

    VMart did very well catching the knuckleball. Other than catching third strikes, it is probably not that important. Couple Wakefield's slow pitch and Vmart's below average arm, Prince Fielder could run wild on us. No one is getting thrown out.

    You take everything as a criticism of the FO. I never said that there is anything wrong with 3 players producing at the ML level. I just said that the list is subjective, and people should not read too much into it. The stock of prospects rises and falls dramatically from year to year. If Lars Anderson has another year like last year, he drops out of the top 200. If he has a good year, he could jump to top 20. I think we'd be lucky to have 3 guys from the system make it to the majors and be productive in 3 to 5 years (probably closer to 5 years). It takes time to develop these kids. I think it is a long shot that we have more than 1 or 2 of these kids producing as regulars by 2012. In the mean time, there will be a big turnover in the current roster that will leave more than 2 holes (probably more like 4 or 5 holes) that will need to be filled through trade or FA. It's a comment not a criticism.

    It's ridiculous. They are going to commemorate a Championship won in a community that they left. The Dodgers leaving Brooklyn tore the soul from that community. They have no right to celebrate or commemorate something that is Brooklyn's. This ownership group is not the group that left Brooklyn. At least they would have had the argument that they owned the team when it was in Brooklyn so it was their accomplishment. This ownership group bought the Los Angeles Dodgers. Please stop profiting from the community that you ruined.

    Thank you. Now, I feel that I have some reliable information about the guy. Let us know whatever you find out about him. IMO first hand information from someone that works with him is much better than written reports on prospect sites. Of course you know that if the Yankees sign him, Jacko will post that he is the next Pedro, and if we get him, he'll be a disaster who will bring ruin to Fenway, but that is to be expected.

    Jackson has calmed down into a good poster from his prior incarnation under another username. He annoys people, because he is a Yankee fan. Most of you are not used to being around Yankee fans so he gets under your skin. I am surrounded by them, and I can tell you that on the "annoying scale," for Yankee fans, he is average.
