    All this trade activity is very exciting and we are missing out on all the fun. I feel like a jewish kid during Christmas season.

    We should outfit all of our pitchers and infielders with body armor when we face them. The Monster should be reinforced so it doesn't collaps into the street.

    It would be pretty funny if we swapped Panda for Middlebrooks.

    They have picked up Tulo, Price and Revere all in the last few days. Wow!!

    Padres are looking to dump a lot of salary like the Red Sox did in 2012. The Red Sox need to get some talent for the pitching staff. There could be a match.
  6. a700hitter
    Yes, this would be a time when he could start building next year's staff.

    To what a petting zoo?

    Cubs get Haren. Blue Jays get Mark Lowe (who has been lights out this year). I am shocked that I am not seeing Uehara rumors. He's 40 years old. His wheels could fall off at any time.
  9. a700hitter
    I would contribute.

    I do know that Steinbrenner hated Luchinno. He told Henry that he hated Luchinno. It was in a biography on Boss Steinbrenner. If Steinbrenner hated Luchinno, Larry is good with me. LOL!! As to who makes the decisions, we don't know. The player moves are the responsibility of the GM. If he can't call the shots, he is a worhtless puppet.

    I hope you are pranking about this, but he would be a perfect fit.

    Jays are reported to be out on Revere, but the Orioles are still interested. Ben, is holding firm. He says that he likes his team as it is.
  13. a700hitter
    It has been a very busy trading season.
  14. a700hitter
    LOL!! How long will you be here? I will be in Charlotte until Wednesday. If you are still around on Thursday or Friday and you are in NYC, we should meet for a drink. Pete and I can compare notes on whether you can kick UN's ass. LOL!!
  15. a700hitter
    Jays in serious discussions about Ben Revere.
  16. a700hitter
    Nice pickup by the O's

    Red Sox are reportedly interested in Tyson Ross and Kimbrel.
  18. a700hitter
    They need to find the problem and fix it. Someone needs to be fired or reassigned.
  19. a700hitter
    it is the only thing that has been interesting and fun in baseball for me since April. I only wish that the Red Sox were in the middle of it.

    kimmi, I like your posts that are backed up with stats. Do you have a stat or a press release to back up this statement or are you trying to absolve Ben by pointing a finger at Luchinno without any evidence? Even if there was a market for fat boy Panda stuff, the MLB licensingh agreement would share those sales equally with the other 29 teams. We could have let him go anywhere else and gotten an equal share of a panda product profits, unless Pandas are wildly popular in Boston in which case we would get a little more. Certainly, his marketing is negligible compared to his $100 million salary. I think the Panda marketing argument is the same type of red herring as the income streams that would materialize as the result of signing Dice K. Ownership set the record straight on that one. There were no streams of income that resulted from Dice K. The Panda signing was a bad baseball move. Nothing more.

    There is a big market for fat slobs.

    Outfield is a much different position. I would not call it easier. In my younger days, I played infield and outfield and the transition was no problem. Then I played IF for about 10 seasons and when I went to the OF because the team was short that day, I had no instincts at all for the position. At the major league level, the break on fly balls need to be immediate. Major league outfielders are amazing the way they break so fast on a ball off the bat and take a direct route to the ball. It is not easy, and the transition for a substandard infielder at age 30 cannot be easy and should not have been assumed. They didn't do their homework and they made a very poor decision.
  23. a700hitter
    The problem is that they have no discernible strategy. The entire organization appears to be in disarray.

    Our catching has been okay defensively. A defense full of Paul Blairs, brook Robinsons and Ozzie Smiths were not going to save this pitching staff. He was wrong about the starters. He was wrong about the relievers. He was wrong about the defense, and he was wrong about the offense. He was wrong about all of it,

    it will be the extremely rare situation where a team will have success that a team can compete in the post steroid era with a team ERA over 4. Only the Tigers have done that in the last 3 years and their team ERA was 4.01.
