    I agree that the rumor mill is getting boring, but they can't go into the season with Stern in CF. There is too much $ invested in this team to go with a completely untested and injury prone minor leaguer in CF with no professional backup. The FO should just sign Gonzalez for SS and make a trade to get Roberts. If anything comes up after that make adjustments.

    Although I would give them Lester, if we pulled Manny from the deal. Imagine a 3,4,5 of Papi, Manny and Miggy. Manny would probably want to stay for that.

    This is far inferior to the offer on the table from the Red Sox.
  4. a700hitter
    They should break off talks with these teams that are looking to rip them off, so they don't look desperate. They should sign Gonzalez to play SS, and wait out SD. Sooner or later SD should come to their senses and realize that Roberts for Wells is a good deal.

    Unless he goes 2-8 with a 6 run ERA.

    Way to go SoxFan!

    Steve Hamilton threw a blooper pitch with very high arc. What did he name that pitch?
  8. a700hitter
    Does this mean the O's are interested in Manny, or does it mean that the Pirates backed off Wilson and went for Burnitz, because another team such as the Red Sox is making stronger play for Wilson.

    Very good.

    The FO better cut bait on this Manny/Miggy deal and get down to filling the other holes. Their options are quickly dwindling.

    http://redsox.bostonherald.com/redSox/view.bg?articleid=119682 Tony Maz says an Oriole prospect might be coming back with Miggy. Does anyone know anything about the prospect?

    I agree that the Sox FO would not pay such a steep price for Roberts. If you remember the price for pitching got a little too high at the trading deadline this past season, so the FO ended up doing nothing. The same result is not an impossibility with regard to the CF hole. I wouldn't be so sure that they will fill the CF spot with a productive player, especially if they keep procrastinating. It's obvious that they need one or to more OFers to start the season, but it doesn't seem that they will come cheap.

    A repeat question from yesterday that went unanswered. Who hit the first Grand Slam homer run by a NLer in a World Series? It came against the Yankees. Name the player, the team and the year.
  14. a700hitter
    If the Sox wait until Wilson is gone, San Diego might attempt to drive up the price for Roberts if they think Boston is desperate. SImilarly, the price for Wilson has probably gone up now that other teams are invloved. It is the economic principle of Supply and Demand. If there is a limited supply of available CF's, the price will go up.
  15. a700hitter
    By the time they get around to it, their options will be overpaying for the likes of Dave Roberts. Maybe Darren Lewis is available.
  16. a700hitter
    It seems that the this trade that has been "agree to in principle," would raise more questions for the Orioles than it would settle. I doubt it is a done deal.

    World Series GS hit= World Series Grand Slam Hit. Sorry for the misunderstanding.
  18. a700hitter
    Ken Boyer hit a Grand Slam in Game 4 of the '64 Series off Al Downing. This was only the second World Series GS hit by an NL'er. The first World Series hit by an NLer was also hit against the Yankees. Who hit it? What Year?
  19. a700hitter
    It slow and boring tonight, so here's a nice softball Yankee trivia question: What two brothers who played the same position opposed each other in the World Series? Name the brothers, the year and the opposing team.

    Kaz has no bat speed whatsoever. He'll never be much of a hitter in the ML.
  21. a700hitter
    How does that work? I thought that he had to remain on the ML roster for 2005. Do they subtract the days that he was on rehab assignments?
  22. a700hitter
    The Sox could live with Cora at SS temporarily, but as of now, there are only 2 OF's that would make the opening day roster. The third would be Stern, and he has been injury prone and he has not shown that he is offensive output would justify any substantial playing time. [ATTACH]321[/ATTACH]

    The calendar has turned to the New Year, and the Sox roster has major holes. It's time to drop these Tejada/Manny negotiations. That trade will probably go nowhere, so fuhgetaboutit. Fill the holes and get the team read for March 1st.

    Wang has the poise and a plus sinking fastball, but you have to be concerned that his shoulder will not hold up. He was rolling along, and suddenly he was on the DL with a suspected rotator cuff injury. He came back, but you have to wonder what kind of load his shoulder can take.
  25. a700hitter
    I don't know if Gathrait is worht Marte, but he can really go get the ball in CF. He has some elite, burner speed.
