    take away Kershaw, Greinke and AGon and they are very mediocre-- kinda suckie.
  2. a700hitter
    How many times did you have to watch the replay to get all that out of it? Lol!

    If they don't shudder when they give away these contracts, it doesn't bother me a bit as long as the players are good productive players for a few years. It's not my money.
  4. a700hitter
    Drysdale too.

    They make me shudder regardless of their contracts. They stink from day 1. Stars on big contracts usually give you a few good years before they turn bad. I don't shudder if a star declines after giving us 2, 3 or 4 good years.

    I think they have a big stud prospect Lucas Giolito who may be ready for the rotation.

    Plus, I don't think he is wasted in LF. He plays very well in LF, and as we have learned this year LF in Fenway is not as easy as it looks.
  8. a700hitter
    Uh, okay ... even though it doesn't effect you financially?

    The quality of every player eventually declines. If we get some good years out of them, I am happy. I think an acquisition is bad if the player is not good and never performs well for us.

    Toronto ran off the two longest winning streaks in the regular season. Of all the teams in the post season, they are the team that is most capable of coming back after losing the first 2 games.
  11. a700hitter
    Let me get this straight, the large contracts make you shudder, because you are worried about the reaction of some fans if they contract goes bad?
  12. a700hitter
    From my standpoint as a fan,a big contract with Price would be a much better idea than the contracts with Hanley, Porcello or Pablo, because Price is elite at a premium position and I am pretty sure that he will put up a few really good seasons. The bad investment on the back end of the deal is not my concern. That is ownership's problem. I have no financial interest in the team. None of us are businessmen with regard to the Red Sox, so the $ doesn't matter to me. I only care about the quality of the players on the field.
  13. a700hitter
    That's a reason not to like him?
  14. a700hitter
    I like Greinke on a 5 year deal.
  15. a700hitter
    As funny as that sounds, it is true.
  16. a700hitter
    I suspect that the remarks about Hanley are just a cover story. DD dumped Prince Fielder after one season and he is not close to the zero that Hanley is.
  17. a700hitter
    There is talk about Cespedes getting a contract in the neighborhood of 6 years $150 million. I don't see the Mets in that neighborhood. The Mets will probably not even pony up the money to keep Daniel Murphy.

    I see that Douche and Cycles took a gratuitous shot at me. What a half wit douche.
  19. a700hitter
    yep, seize on the irrelevant and miss the point time after time.
  20. a700hitter
    I didn't even mention Pablo. That is you reading what you want to see. Those contracts didn't turn bad. They were bad from the beginning. I' d rather get 3 top years from Price at the risk of him sliding down a hill in his final 2 or 3. Contracts don't bother me if we get some good years from the guy. It's not my business. Let John Henry worry about the finances. As a fan, it bothers me that they get players like Pablo, Porcello and Hanley who are just not good players. Save the Hanley is a good hitter when healthy argument. He's rarely healthy and he is the worst outfielder that I have seen in a Red Sox uniform.
  21. a700hitter
    And you are seizing on and making an issue of a throw away line in my post. Lol!
  22. a700hitter
    i got it either from an MLBtraderumor article ( which is usually from a Boston beat writer) or from a Herald article. The didn't cite their source.
  23. a700hitter
    I'd prefer to be handcuffed at the end of a $200 million Price contract instead of the front end of the $170 million spent on Hanley and Porcello. So, Price doesn't make me shudder.
  24. a700hitter
    It is not my business so it doesn't make me shudder at all. But I am a fan
  25. a700hitter
    i am with you on that. I hate the Dodgers.
