  1. The Rocket will not take less from any team including Houston. While the Red Sox would not outbid the Yankees for him on straight up dollars, I think the creativity of this management team would top the value offered by the Yankees by tapping into other sources of revenue for the Rocket, e.g., Marketing campaigns etc.
  2. He hasn't had a lot of ABs, but he does have one homer and 3 double. Against Willie Harris, the outfielders pinch all the way in, because he has no power.
  3. It's an excellent idea to keep the defenses honest, and he has show a proficiency for doing doing it.
  4. Gerry Moses
  5. Yankee fans will be upset because he will make the Sox pitching very solid. I know that many Yankee fans only grudgingly accepted him.
  6. ****Total Red Sox Wins : 3 ****Total Red Sox Home Runs : 7 ****Total Red Sox Runs Scored : 20

  8. Tavarez would need to step it up first and show that he can be reliable. Foulke has looked better and better every time out, and I think Timlin will be solid. Can't move Papelbon to the rotation unless there are three solid guys in the bullpen.
  9. Pitchers that have taken one off the melon have acknowledged that it has affected their delivery. Pettitte said he had trouble finishing his pitches after he had taken one off the schonozola. I am not saying that Clement would not have sucked in the second half, but the head-ringer didn't help. To his credit, Clement never used it as an excuse. So a pussy he is not.
  10. Well, we were right, and for once Terry did the right thing.
  11. At least Wily Mo is a power threat.
  12. Not always. You never would hear me say it about Schilling or Beckett. They have a good record for getting better as a game goes along, but with regard to the others, call me Captain Hook. I don't trust the 3,4, or 5 guys, unless Wells can come back strong.
  13. They only need a good 6 from Clement. With an off day tomorrow, they can empty the pen. I would pull him after 6 even if he is going good. He seems to deteriorate in the last third of games.
  14. The every day seasoning could have waited another couple of weeks until Coco gets back. In the meantime, Stern would be getting every other day seasoning at the ML level.
  15. How did that piece of garbage, Willie Harris do in Pawtucket?
  16. Ever notice that in recent years all the Blue Jay fans have gone to hide in the woodwork?
  17. FO might use him to get Dontrelle Willis.
  18. You can keep him. Sign as many 5+ ERA pitchers as you want. They all have good games occasionally
  19. Sorry. 12 year old wimp.
  20. This thread is a joke. Why is anyone wasting their time with this.
  21. His kids are basically grown-- teeagers and college student. Do you really think they need Daddy around? He was so serious about playing near home last year that he was willing to accept only $!8 million-- the most of any pitcher in history. I have said it dozens of times on these boards. Roger will follow the money, and that is in Boston. They will pony up the dough, and there will be enormous marketing opportunities for a farewell tour at the Fens.
  22. You are barking up the wrong tree. I am not a Sox fan that complains about the Yankees buying a Championship. My complaint for many years has been that Red Sox ownership, prior to the current ownership, has sold a line of BS that they can't compete financially with the Yankees. They tried to act like a small market team, when they were sitting on tremendous economic resources. In my earlier post, I was tweaking the Red Sox fan who doesn't want to get get Clemens because it would be acting like the Yankees. I made the tongue in cheek distinction that it was different, because we were re-claiming our own property etc. Try to pick up on subtleties once in a while. I don't whine if the Yanks pick up a FA. I have been on record several times on these boards that the pickup of Damon was a good one. The Yanks should sign whoever they want, but I think the Sox should go toe-to-toe with them and flex their financial strength. If we sign Clemens, it will be the Yankee fans who will be whining.
