Duncan cannot play the OF. There is no position for him on the Cards.

I don't think Sheffield likes any team controlling his fate. He will openly complain about being traded to certain teams and he will want more $ etc. Why would a team want to pay $13 million for him plus give up a player in return for an old man with a one year contract? Teams would have to be convinced that Sheffield would be happy if traded. If not, he could be very disruptive. He could end up being the Yankee first baseman. Seems Sheffield is not to happy about this: http://redsox.bostonherald.com/otherMLB/view.bg?articleid=164385

Boras is a liar.

Where does the Sox's minor league sytems ranks?

Yes, he is a cheater, but so was Gaylord Perry, and I would have loved to have him on the Red Sox. BTW I have in the last year or so noticed a number of pitchers wiping and rubbing something off their pitching hands after they have been removed from a game. I have taken notice because, it is always the pitching hand that they are rubbing and cleaning with a towel. I have seen Schilling and Mo do this among others. Maybe many pitchers are using something other than resin to give them a better feel or grip, but they are just more discreet than Rogers..

It would give us a middle of the order with 600 strikeouts from 3 to 6.

Seanez has always been a bum. A 41 year old Timlin is better than Seanez at any age.
-
Hatteberg did not get appreciably better after age 27. What makes you think Youklis will improve very much? Their production is very similar. They are nice ballplayers, but neither is anything special.
-
He's a right-handed Scott Hatteberg. I think he would have to be part of a package to get something big in return.

Kenny Rogers is looking for retribution in one post-season for the bum rap given to him by New York fans, both Yankee and Met fans. He has alway been a good pitcher. You don't win over 200 games in the bigs with an almost .600 win % without being pretty good. The overbearing, egocentric world of NY fans and media made him out to be somewhat of a joke in their quest for a scapegoat for their teams' failures. Go Kenny! Make your mark and prove the arrogant *******s in NY wrong. I live in NY and they had me believing their garbage. Now they are intent on running ARod out of town and ruining him. Maybe he will get his retribution with another team.

I heard it on the radio today as I was flipping through the dial. There wer 80 laps left. I couldn't understand why anyone would want to listen to NASCAR. Go figure. Is this something new on Boston radio?

The FO has a lot of work ahead and they know it. I don't think they will get caught with thin talent this year, because they learned the hard way that when you have a thin team and you get a few key bad breaks, the result is an unwatchably boring inferior product.
-
Like the Yankees, you would choke if money was on the line.
-
I am sorry. Maybe you are right and it is just a five year grudge over some statements in an article that ARod called him about after it was published. I guess I underestimated his pettiness.
-
As I have been saying, the Tigers are not as good as everyone (mostly Yankee fans because they refuse to acknowledge that their team choked) is giving them credit. Also, the talent level between the two leagues is starting to close. Having the DH does not make the AL better. I believe this year's interleague results were an aberration.

MLB does away with compensated draft picks
a700hitter replied to riverside sluggers's topic in Other Baseball
If letting him walk was smart, that should stand on its own merits. Whether we got picks. That's like getting a party favor or consolation prize. If some of the picks work out-- none have so far, it will attributable as much to luck as to skill, e.g. Hansen has proved nothing at the ML level except that he doesn't belong here. -

I'll take my chances with 10 Scratch and Match Its. The baseball draft moreso than any other professional sport is like is imprecise. You could do just as well throwing darts at a board of names. -

There goes the FO master plan of rebuilding--- letting our stars walk for nothing but a couple of shots in the dark. I am not greatly troubled by this. I'd rather that they bought some scratch an match tickets and if they hit the big prize to sign an experienced star player. -

The Red Sox were double cursed in the 1986 World Series
a700hitter replied to Sam Malone's topic in Boston Red Sox Talk
It also leaves out that Buckner's biggest offense was not the rror but the fact that he set post season records for LOB. The Mets kept working around the key hitters to get to Buckner who came up empty time after time. -
Comon guys and gals. We need two more. It's free and you can win cash. Thanks SFoC. Got the cash yesterday. I am going for three in a row-- a 3-peat. I am hoping for some more entrants to see if they can stop my streak.

They were lucky that they got as far as they did with a one man pitching rotation. The incredible thing to me is if they did give away game 2, they would be going to the World Series. I think they got a bit arrogant after the cake-walk of a regular season,the 3 game sweep of LA., and the game 1 victory over the Cards. I can understand the Mets fans being disappointed. Everything pointed to it being their year all year long, and then it was gone with the swing of Yadier Molina's bat. It was a Bucky Dent moment.
