I was surprised they made him an offer. He showed nothing last year.

It happens to all of us.

Why did they make him an offer?

SFOC, are you getting soft, or is it the Holiday Spirit taking hold?

Maybe he'll rejoin Pettitte on the Yankees.

Trading block? They should put him on a block of ice and float him out to sea. I hope they can trick some team into taking him.

The boredom of your team doing nothing except get a couple of AA guys is really starting to wear on you. Lugo and Drew may not be All Stars, but they aren't bad and they are upgrades, and we deprived the Yankee FO of the one player they wanted this offseason- Matsuzaka. He's all they wanted and they f***ed up. Go get Andy Pettitte. I'm sure hell be at the top of his game.

What an exercise in futility debating this. He'll sign. It's just a matter of how long and how much. The Red Sox will not be the party running to Seibu. It will be Boras. He 's the one that has called this a three-way deal. Gee, I wonder what he meant by that. Duh? He's working the back channels to try to get Seibu to pony up. He's got no leverage. Seibu knows it. The Red Sox know it, and Matsuzaka is packing his bags for the US. The only ones that don't know it are the bitter Yankee fans that are hoping Cashman is making clandestine late night phone calls to Boras. They are living in a fantasy land.

Manny will be waving bye-bye to balls going over the monster.

Correction: 3/4 of Yankee and Sox fans are full of s***.

Our 4th OF's have gotten 300-400 ABs the last few seasons.

It's been a very active and fun day for Red Sox fans. They signed a really good fielding RF with some good offensive production to help the #5 hole. They also signed a speedy SS that upgrades the team offensively at that position. It looks like Manny will be staying, and last but not least, Lester is making a great recovery. The FO seems intent on building a well-rounded powerhouse of a team. Today Yankee fans were like kids with their noses pressed against the candy store window. Maybe they will get some candy tomorrow. I hope not. I like watching them squirm.

... and he will. That's Theo's plan for him.

Agreed that there is no comparison to Mo. Maybe Mo takes better roids.

You are really going to have to start watching the Red Sox games if you want to retain any credibility to comment about them. Schilling did n't fade so much as the offense and the bullpen all but evaporated from August on. There were several games that he pitched well enough to win and he probably should have had 18 or 19 wins. Beckett won 15 games in 2005 (not bad for a partial season) and 16 in 2006. He's 26 years old and throws mid to upper 90's. He also pitched much better in his last 12 or so starts. If he's a question mark, there are few teams in the league that don't have 5 question marks in their rotation.
