    From yesterday's Globe: Scrappy? Sounds like a star in the making. If "fiery" is added to this scouting report, he could be the next Billy Martin.

    Lou Gehrig, Tony Lazzeri, and Elston Howard.

    My favorite Yankees are Joe D., Mickey Mantle, Thurman Munson and Cory Lidle. What do they all have in common? Merry Christmas to all.

    I totally agree. You don't build a $150 million payroll and give a starting position to an unproven kid with no contingency plan. Pedroia is not a very impressive youngster. This is not like watch Nomar break in or Jim Ricce and Fred Lynn(and Rice had to win the job from Tony C in 1975). I was more excited about Glenn Hoffman and Tim Naehring than Pedroia. It's just poor planning to not have a better contingency plan if the kid bombs. Second basemen are not very expensive.

    The Red Sox are the only team other than the Yankees to pay the luxury tax and the team was a steaming pile of crap that was out of contention by the first weak of August. That's quite embarrassing.

    How could we possibly know that. Just because FA options are running out doesn't mean that there aren't plenty of trade options for the right price.

    Is Bernie under contract?

    No one wants to see an emergency starter. If the emergency starter was any good, he'd be in the majors.

    If we need an emergency starter from AAA, would you rather see Abe Alvarez?

    Not a bad pickup for insurance against injury.

    I don't remember if anyone posted a response, but awhile back I asked if anyone heard about Philadelphia's plans for Tom Gordon. He'd be a good one or two year bridge to a younger closer.

    It's doubtful that the NL clubs will let their marquis players leave. They are running a business, and it's big business. Philly has $ and a good market. Pujols will be staying in StL. The Dodgers will certainly sign up their young talent if it blossoms. Will Miggy Cabrera leave in FA to go to the AL? It has been the Marlins FO strategy to trade their stars before they hit FA and to get top talent in return. He could end up anywhere in a trade, and if a team is going to give up big talent for him, they will certainly sign him long term. Even if Cabrera leaves the NL, they still have most of the young talent, and most of them will be signed long term by their teams.

    A team with a barely .500 record beat the AL Champs in the WS and clearly outclassed the Tigers. The NL has a lot of young stars like Miggy Cabrera and Ryan Howard, while the AL stars like Manny and the entire Yankees team that are aging. I don't deny there is some talent gap, but the NL is closing fast, and I just don't think it is all that significant at this point.
