    Blyleven was a great pitcher for a long time. His stats compare very favorably with other HOFers of his era.

    Our third catcher will be at Pawtucket.

    And people say that my posts are negative. I also am not very confident in how Beltre will perform, but I am happy that it is a 1 year deal. Maybe he'll juice up again and hit 40 HRs.

    Ther was no room for him. He had to go.

    I'd go with Gomes over Tatis. I agree that we need a RH bat to fill the spot.
  9. a700hitter
    If Kotchman gets traded, I'd add another OF in his place.
  10. a700hitter
    I can't imagine that there is much of a market for him. They better plant more stories about how he can climb 10 foot walls to catch pop fouls.

    This is pretty close to what I think it will be, but what would Kotchman's role be with VMart, Youk and Beltre doing a first/third base rotation. If Kotchman plays, one of those bats has to sit. There is no fielding upgrade over Youk, Beltre.

    I like that this is a one-year deal. He will have lots of motivation to perform. They need to round out the roster with a middle IF and another OF and fill in the pen. Kotchman and Lowell are dead weight at this point. They need to go. Those roster spots can be put to better use. The bench should be: 1 MIF, 1 Utility IF, 2 OF, 1 Catcher. There's no room for Kotchman or Lowell.

    I read last season that 100-110 games is VMart's max behind the plate, because after that his offense declines.

    While I am thrilled to have Beltre in the lineup instead of Casey Kotchman, what will this do to the PT of VMart? VMart really can't catch more than 100 games, if that, but his bat needs to be in the lineup. He will probably play 30 or 40 games at first base pushing Youk across the diamond. There is no room, absolutely no room for Youk or Kotchman.

    With Beltre being brought on board, we are back to where we were last season with Kotchman. There is no role for him on this team. With Youk at first and beltre at 3B, there is absolutely no reason to have an LIDR at IB. None. The Sox have to move him and Lowell. They may have to DFA both of them, because we have no leverage. They have to go.

    No Loney, not for Buchholz. No way.

    But all of those guys in the Tex deal were in the majors within 1 1/2 years after the trade. They were pretty close to ready whether or not the general public was aware of them.
  18. a700hitter
    Lowrie is more DL ready than major league ready, and he has no trade value because of his physical problems.
  19. a700hitter
  20. a700hitter
    Yes, very good even without the peppers and onions.
  21. a700hitter
    That's still a pretty hefty package-- 3 major league ready guys, including a SS. It would be nice to have a major league ready SS in the organization.

    A "Tex type package"? I'm not sure what you mean by that.
