    The push for Gonzalez is on. http://www.bostonherald.com/sports/baseball/red_sox/view/20091216red_sox_pushing_to_obtain_padres_adrian_gonzalez/

    Heartwarming

    I'm all for getting another pitcher nad sending Wake out to pasture with a plaque in the Red Sox HOF, but I'd rather they get a mediocre #5 who is healthy and can take the ball every 5 days, rather than a retread who will likely be on the DL when you need him. We have had no success with those projects, none. I'd rather re-sign Byrd as Wake insurance.

    This is beautiful.

    Stop it, just stop it!! Have any of those worked out for us in recent memory? BTW: Why is this still not final? http://www.boston.com/sports/baseball/redsox/articles/2009/12/15/red_sox_zeroing_in_on_5_year_deal_for_lackey/

    Also, there really is no other speed in the lineup. Drew runs well but is not a base stealing threat. Pedroia's speed is average. The rest are plodders except for Cameron who should be hitting down in the lineup. A slow team without a big power guy will find it very very hard to score runs consistently. It will take them 3 hits to score all the time. Mix in a few slumps along the way for the guys at the top of the order and the offense could hit some real dry spells.

    Do we need a glove like Cameron's in front of the Monster for 81 games. I would have preferred getting Vlad. He has enough left in his legs to play LF at Fenway.

    My post above is based on the current roster. I am not assuming we get Gonzalez.

    Ellsbury is only starting to scratch the surface with his talent. Last year he was much more consistent at the plate. He speed is a unique weapon for the Red Sox who have never had a guy like this. Every hit is essentially at least a double with his stealing ability. With Pedroia hitting behind him, he'll be standing on 3B with less than 2 out all the time for VMart. As for the lineup, against righties I think the bottom 3 will be Lowell(if he's still here), Cameron and Scutaro. Against lefties it will be Lowell, Cameron, Varitek and Scutaro. Let's not forget that the lineup will get shorter on those days when Tito finds it necessary to keep Kotchman fresh. Neither of those lineups is good enough to beat the Yankees in the regular season or the playoffs. We still do not have a reliable cleanup hitter, and the lineup will be much weaker without Bay. They need another big bat.

    I corrected this for you.

    You are right. The franchise is far richer today.
  16. a700hitter
    It's less than we signed Manny for in 2001.

    If they can't land Gonzalez, do they go for Cabrera. He is probably a better hitter than Gonzalez, and he is young. I don't see Beltre as a big help with the bat. Anything is better than Kotchman at 1B.

    A Met fan friend of mine has been calling him Shemp for years.:lol:
  19. a700hitter
    Absolutely, good riddance to Shemp.
  20. a700hitter
    I'm hoping he does live up to those numbers. When he went to the Mets, I thought he would be a really good pickup, because I was aware of his numbers and reputation. Watching him day in and day out, he was a disappointment. Maybe I was expecting too much of him. I don't have a problem with the 4 OFers if they can land Gonzalez. If they land Gonzalez, what do they do with Lowell?
  21. a700hitter
    I think he will be missed. He was a very consistent quality hitter who came up big in lots of big spots.
