If he is the next Bagwell, imagine how bad Braves fans will feel. They gave him up for Renteria.
-
Dotel is coming off surgery and is a huge question mark. Optimistically, he will be ready by June.
-
Wallace and other members of the coaching staff have indicated that they would prefer to have Papelbon start the season in the Pen. Wells moving is not a slam dunk either.
-
I really like Sweeney, but he has a bad back. It would probably smarter if they went for Huff.
-
Put me in the favorable category.
-
Beltran was looking to get 7 years $100 million. A one-time hit to their budget of $15-20 million is much different.
-
I'm glad he is gone.:thumbsup:

The Yankees will. You can count on it.

ATBTY-- Any team But the Yankees

Let's not forget his clutch play and walk-off homers. OH, that was Ortiz. Let's not forget ARod's clutch play like killing the yankees last hope of going to the ALCS by hitting into a DP in the 9th inning angainst the Angels or flubbing a one-hopper in a big spot. That's right, the post season doesn't count.

I wouldn't trade too much of it right away. You never have enough pitching, and Schilling, Wells and Wake are all a little senior. Chances are that injuires will get Arroyo and Papelbon in the rotation sooner than later. The only pitcher I would move now would be Wells for prospects. But I would do that with a mind towards making a run at Clemens before the Yankees sign him in February and make us puke.

He turned 37 in November.

Loretta has a proven track record that Cano does not.
-
Posada has been in a noticeable decline in the last couple of years. I would not expect that to stop.
-
Manny big over Matsui.
-
Rebuilding? You wish. Teams with $120+ million payrolls are not in rebuilding mode. If this trade goes through, you should be very, very scared Yankee fans.
-
It's going to be tough forhim to make the opening day roster, especially since Stern will need to be in the majors in April. I'd think about giving Stern back to the Braves.
-
In your opinion, he gets traded? He is fairly versatile with a decent bat. Maybe he sees some OF time in the Spring to see if he can be the backup corner OF.

If this trade is limited to Marte and Mota, I think we will be doing okay if we get only Crisp in return. Crisp is a bona fide everyday player with a good and improving offensive record. Marte is potential. It could take years for him to develop if ever. Mota would have been in a crowded Red Sox pen. Maybe we replenish the prospect pool by trading Wells. IMO we would be better off keeping Wells and having a rotation of Schilling, Beckett, Wells, Wake, and Clement with Arroyo and Papelbon coming out of the pen. You never have enough pitching and Arroyo and Papelbon would be great insurance against injury by the old guys (Schill and Wells) or ineffectiveness by Clement. If they all stay healthy and perform, it will be a very deep staff, and we would have some valuable trading chips at the trading deadline to fine tune the team.

I hate Rhodes. He is a choker deluxe.
-
I would not count on prospects coming our way. We have to hope that we are not packaging anyone else.:dunno:

Chris Snow of the Globe acknowledges ongoing talks, but nothing final: http://www.boston.com/sports/baseball/redsox/articles/2006/01/22/pitch_count_keeps_mounting/

What will be the price tag for Gonzalez?
-
Do they make another move for a 4th OF?
-
You can continue to hope. I think it could have been worse.
