    They should pull the trigger on the Matos deal, so the Guardians will know the Sox are not desperate for the deal.

    But at 1.5 million/year, it's not bad work if you can get it while you are on the DL.

    Mota's agent says that he did not flunk his physical. http://www.boston.com/sports/bas...k_at_mota/ This link says that the Sox could have had Crip, Risk and Bard a while back for Clement. http://www.journal-news.com/spor...dsweb.html

    I know that you are right about Beckett, and I suspect that you are right about the others. It seems that it is standard practice to complete trades without physicals, unless a team requests a physical. It is shocking with the amount invested in these players that pre-trade physicals are not standard.

    The Beckett deal involved an extensive review of medical records, but they never actually gave him a physical exam. I don't remember reports about some of the other players, but there were rumors about Marte right after he was acquired, because he apparently had not been given a physical either.

    Apparently, they never gave Marte a physical, either. I wonder if the Guardians gave Marte a physical in light of the elbow rumors.
  7. a700hitter
    No go to Timlin.
  8. a700hitter
    Why should we give Mota a physical, when we never gave Marte a physical?
  9. a700hitter
    Do you think of a candy bar?

    He made a mistake and realized it before it was too late. I think he learned the lesson that you never voluntarily leave your dream job.
  11. a700hitter
    I think this is gamesmanship by the Guardians similar to what the Sox did with the Marlins in the Beckett deal. The Sox should immediately pull the trigger on the Matos-Graffy deal (if it is available) to show that they are not desperate for Crisp.

    I realize that it can go to either extreme, but to rule out the possibility that he reacts professionally and has an average year (which for him is very good) is preposterous and it is insulting to him as a professional.
  13. a700hitter
    Thrive or buried, but no in-between? Preposterous.
  14. a700hitter
    How stupid is the name "Babe" for a grown man.
  15. a700hitter
    I thought Roberts would be missing at least the first month of the season.
  16. a700hitter
    What about as a 4th OF?
  17. a700hitter
    I predict that this WBC will be a bomb.

    ..and if the Queen had balls she'd be the King. Sox took the risk on him last year. After off-season surgery, there is no reason to believe that he will be anymore productive than last season. I did't like the way that he didn't attack the strike zone. It was like watching an Al Leiter game.

    You have to come back to reality. The deal is done. Marte is gone. What I don't understand is how you could get so excited over a AA or AAA guy that you have never seen play, but you throw Damon under the bus, who played 4 years in Fenway scoring 100+ runs. I have to say that I am disappointed that I will not get to see Marte in ST. All the hype made me very curious.
  20. a700hitter
    That is total conjecture and opinion.
  21. a700hitter
    They were still going to have to pay the price to get someone good. Are you saying that if the sox gave Damon a deadline that was a week earlier than the Yankee deadline that: A. Damon would have signed with the Re Sox for 4/40 or B. We would have been able to get Crisp cheaper.
  22. a700hitter
    Not if management thinks ahead like you and realizes that they have no 3B if Lowell shits the bed.
  23. a700hitter
    The training staff will just have to plug his ass. If he still can't play, Graffinino could play there for the remainder of the year,
  24. a700hitter
    So, to save a minor league prospect who has no chance of making an impact before 2007 or 08, you would be willing to field a team without a bona fide full-time ML CF for a couple of years and to have a lame armed guy in the bullpen with no trade value. Does anyone else see this as extreme?
  25. a700hitter
    I am dealing with it. The others that are so upset that we have to give up prospects to fill the CF hole are not dealing with it. Did they think other teams would give us a good CF for free, or did they intend to play without one? While others were praising the FO for holding the line with Damon, I knew that it would cost prospects and $ to fill the position. Those complaining about the Marte departure should get over it. They are delusional if they think we are going to get Crisp without giving up a prospect.
