I would have gone one of two ways. I'd have had a meeting and not made an offer, but asked that he meet with us after he had gone shopping, or I would have made him a very strong market value offer and given hin 24 hours to decide. I would not have given him an offer to shop.
-
so, they are going to give Lester the opportunity to shop our offer and get a higher bif from the Cubs or Yankees. That'snot smart.
-
I have mixed feelings about signing Panda, because I don't want to take away resources that could be used to get pitching, but he would be worlds better than the garbage we rolled out there last season, and we need a third baseman.
-
He's not a good player. He is a great young player.
-
So then Marrero, Ranaudo, and Coyle would not get it done. LOL!!
-
Ben should get that done immediately if that's what it would take.
-
If you want Cueto, you aren't going to get him for Workman or Nava.
-
Could he land Cueto for us?
-
WE don't have depth to land Cueto and Frazier.
-
If you don't believe that teams hype their prospects, then your head is in the crapper. The Yankees and Dodgers among others have been very skillful at hyping prospects and using them to get established players.
-
I drank all the kool aid on WMB, Bradley, XB and Ranaudo when they were signed. There is a trend being established, and the value of these guys who were supposed to be our future has come crashing down. By all means, continue to drink your own kool aid. I just hope the FO is starting to see the need for improvement in scouting and player development.

Organizations have been known to hype prospects, but they usually trade hyped prospects. In this case, maybe the Red Sox hype was genuinely believed within the organization, but the fruits of the farm have been rotten thus far. I think teams talent evaluators take the lazy approach to talent in other organizations in many cases by giving deference to the other team's evaluations. The other teams are now re-evaluating our prospects based on our recent string of duds. It's not at all far-fetched. It makes a lot of sense.
-
From MLBTraderumors.com yesterday: I'll stand by my assertion that we are not in a position of strength with regard to our pitching prospects.
-
We are not in a position of strength organizationally with pitching prospects. These guys are not elite prospects and they don't have great stuff. The livest arm that we have is Webster who has teriible command and a weak stomach to boot.
-
I read that other teams are reassessing evaluations of Red Sox prospects in light of the fact that several of the prospects that were highly touted. Have bombed.
-
For one year of Cespedes and a bucket of chum they are not getting Frazier and Cueto.
-
He threw away his own life. It is still tragic, but what is truly infuriating is that he took another life with his irresponsibility. -
That is true, but we still don't have the talent to land him.
-
Tickets go on sale in the first week of December with a Christmas at Fenway kick-off. They will want to sign a high profile guy before that to spur ticket sales at the kickoff.
-
No worries. He has nothing that interests me, but he is a punk for not sticking around to take his medicine after being a hump for so long. That is all.
-
And good will and a civil exchange of ideas will continue.
-
The site has been peaceful and civil since he left. Good riddance to him. Of course he has an excuse for not being around to eat a whole murder of crows that he should have eaten for being a deaf, dumb and blind butt-boy for the FO. What were his excuses? A new business? The site is unreadable? Or maybe he is just a chickenshit? Lol!
-
This is funny.
-
Should the Red Sox move Mike Napoli along?
a700hitter replied to Dojji's topic in Boston Red Sox Talk
If they move him along, that would open a slot for Craig at 1B, but will Craig rebound? -
If he becomes a 2 pitch pitcher out of the pen, he might be able to establish better command. The guy has a live arm.
