I don't see Cespedes bringing back much of a return, nor do I see Victorino bringing back much. If they want to land a significant pitcher, Xander and Betts are the two biggest chips. After the acquisitions, either XB or Betts will have his path blocked. If Han Ram plays SS, XB will be traded. If HanRam will be playing LF, there would be no room for Betts. He has a weak arm and can't play RF.
-
I wonder if there is a weight clause in his contract.

Manny was too busy beating up the old traveling secretary.

The smart move would be trading XB to get a stud pitcher while letting Hanley keep SS warm for Marrero who can really play SS. Then Hanley slides to 3rd and Panda moves to 1st. The smart move is not paying $88 million to switch a guy to the OF. It could happen, but not the smart move IMO. If HanRam is slated for LF, say goodby to Betts.

This is about a month old, but I just came across this. Thanks for the good times Youk!

Jenny Dell will probably dump him too.
-
They will keep him stashed in the minors. He has options, plus he plays for meal money.

It's a pseudonym for John Henry.

Goodbye Chechiini. You weren't hee long enough for me to learn to spell your name or figure out which of the Checchinni brothers was with the Red Sox.

Maybe someday Jackie Bradley III will be a starting Outfielder for the Red Sox.

Kids, this is the new High School baseball coach, Mr. Nava.

Goodbye Middlebrooks, you bum.

From an article on RedSox.com

Goodbye Xander.

The Globe is reporting that the Red Sox have had "most serious discussions" with Phillies about Hamels.
-
I got this email today from the Red Sox. LOL!!
-
Has the Panda deal been confirmed by a news outlet?

Here's a good article discussing the abandonment of the FO Core Principles. My favorite line from the article: "The Sox were so self-congratulatory — CEO Larry Lucchino just wanted to oil up and roll around in the idea of the bargain-basement Red Sox winning a World Series while the Yankees pounded on doors in search of an orgy — it made you feel bad for the fans of all the teams out there with front offices too dim-witted to crack the code."

After the Sandoval signing is announced, I would expect a trade to happen fairly quickly. Whether he trades the glut of OFers or XB, the price will go up if teams know that we have a glut of players that we can't use.
-
I'm wondering if Middlebrroks is rethinking his position on not compromising his health by playing Winter Ball? How healthy do you have to be to pump gas? My earlier prediction that he will not be invited to Spring Training with the big club is looking pretty good.
-
Betts and XB will return Hammels and our rotation will be: Lester Hammels Masterson Bucholz Kelly
-
I would go with Victorino Pedroia Ortiz Hanley Panda Napoli Cespedes Castillo Vasquez
-
If he is that badly broken down, then maybe they should not have signed him for 5 years. Running around the larger outfields away from Fenway for the first time since he is 19 years old doesn't seem to be the best idea for a guy who is breaking down. He will be playing SS on opening day if Panda also signs.
-
Other than ARod moving to 3B to accomodate Jeter, when has a big All-Star free agent signed an played a position that he never played before? Yes , he might slide to 3B, but I think he has played 3B in a limited capacity in the majors, but i don't think that he he has played the OF or 1B. And XB is not Derek Jeter.
-
So, they sign an All Star who is 30 years old and people are prediciting that he will play 2 positions that he has never played in the major leagues? Funny. Of course, the Sox invested $200 million in 2 players but are steadfast in keeping XB at SS. Eyeroll. Of course Hanley is getting soooo old that he can't take SS from a kid who still hasn't learned the position. If the Panda thing happens, I would expect that XB will be part of one of those headspinning trades that SFF says that Ben has in the hopper. Maybe he goes to Philly for Hammels. That would be good. Sign Lester or Scherzer and call it a day.
