    Am I supposed to be encouraged by the fact that he can't beat the .500 teams and he pitches worse against sub-.500 teams?

    Penny and Smoltz? How low do you want to set the bar. How about Jason Johnson?

    This is a good team with a good offense and sound defense. If he pitches well, he should get victories-- even against the good teams. 16 Starts with a 4.21 ERA is not very convincing to me.

    Buchholz had 1 victory against a team with a .500 record. I'm not sold on him yet.

    It's not raining which is surprising. It was supposed to rain all day.

    Kershaw is the Dodgers game 1 starter? If that's the best they have to offer, they are going down sooner than I thought. Originally I predicted the Phillies in 6 games. i don't see it going more than 5 games.

    Once in a while I can turn a catchy phrase.

    Mark Prior would be a very low risk move.

    Reddick needs more seasoning. Coco's shoulder has been repaired. I don't think we need to worry that it will affect his throwing arm, because he never could throw. It will not affect his two biggest skills-- his base running skill and his fly-catching ability.

    If the Yankees do not win the Championship, I expect that they will continue to break the bank for FAs-- maybe they sign Lackey and Bay. I also wouldn't be surprised if they took a run at King Felix if they think he is available.

    If KC doesn't exercise his option, I wouldn't mind Coco Crisp returning as a 4th outfielder. FA starting pitching is thin this year.

    Well that would be a good way to improve the team-- by trading one of our exceptional players who is also the best reliever in team history.

    I don't that they are in the top 30. Youkilis just misses being a top 10 guy.

    I didn't say that they miss the elite group by much, and I've learned never to under-estimate Pedroia, so I wouldn't be shocked if he made the Hall. I'm just considering a smaller group. I don't see the opportunity to get such a player this off-season. Gonzalez may be in that class already, and he certainly has the potential to be squarely within that group very soon. On the other side of the ball, Halladay and King Felix are the only two that I see that could be available. Players like Matt Holliday and John Lackey are very good, but not in the group that I am talking about. ORS is right that very few teams have one of those guys. The Yankees have 3 of them (ARod, Tex and CC). I'd like to see the Sox snag 1 or 2 of them and add it to what we already have.

    You panic when I point out that we are in agreement, and you try to distance yourself from it. My stated position has always been where you are right now. The FO should keep the best prospects and develop them if they are not blocked at the ML level. The rest are trading chips to be used to bring in the best ML talent available. Lately they have been developing guys for the major league club, but now they seem to be ready to move other prospects to improve the major league club. This is where I have been all along. The only difference is that I would have done both simultaneously. So, either you have come around to my philosophy or if this where you have always been, I have been there all along. We may have debated which prospects were ready, but the philosophy is the same. Sorry about that. I know that you hate when I agree with you and you will attempt to qualify it somehow, but I agree with your stated philosophy 100%
