the newark star ledger has the stories of gretsky on state wire taps with knowledge of the gambling ring. weei got the story from their website.

its better to have lefties that can pitch to more than 1 batter. something myers is not good at.

also rick tochett has been granted a leave of abscene by league commissioner gary bettman.

weei in boston reported that.....no link yet

i just heard on the radio they have wayne gretsky on wire taps with knowledge of the gambling ring while it was still going on.

no but it will tarnish his image. rose gambled on baseball which is a big difference. right now they say it was not hockey.

he will slug at least 40 if not more

Bruins win 3-1 over pittsburgh and pick up 2 key points against a team they should beat.

Italy is not as good as they were in the past but they are still a challenge.

get rid of him if it is.....we don't need negative posters like him on this board.

the red sox may be signing alot of international players but what they are lacking is signing the big bonus money players.

matthew lecroy signs a 1 yr 850,000 deal with the washington nationals http://washington.nationals.mlb.com/NASApp/mlb/news/article.jsp?ymd=20060208&content_id=1308824&vkey=news_was&fext=.jsp&c_id=was

it was boring and pathetic......both teams would have gotten their ass kicked had the pats been healthy. brady and company will take that trophy right out of porter's hand and return it to where it rightfully belongs.

easy sellout and revenue for the sox

BOSTON -- The Boston Red Sox today announced several promotions in, and additions to, their Baseball Operations Department. Executive Vice President/General Manager Theo Epstein made the announcements. Mike Hazen has been named Director of Player Development. Hazen spent the last five seasons with the Cleveland Guardians, serving as Assistant Director of Player Development since September of 2003. Previously, he coordinated and oversaw the club's major league advance scouting in 2001 and 2002 and spent the 2003 season as the Guardians' Assistant Director of Professional Scouting with oversight of the professional scouting staff. The Abington, MA native was a four-year varsity baseball letter winner at Princeton University and was a first-team All-Ivy League outfielder in 1997 and 1998. A 31st-round draft choice by the Padres in 1998, he played two minor league seasons before joining the Guardians' scouting department. Brian O'Halloran, previously the club's Manager of Major League Administration, has been promoted to Director of Baseball Operations. Zack Scott has been promoted to Assistant Director of Baseball Operations from Baseball Operations Assistant. Previously a Red Sox Scouting and Player Development intern, Jared Porter has been named Assistant, Player Development. Marc DelPiano joins the Red Sox as a Special Assignment scout from the Florida Marlins, who he served as a scouting supervisor before taking over as Director of Player Development in 2003 and 2004. He was named Florida's Director of International Scouting after the 2004 season. DelPiano began his scouting career with the Texas Rangers in 1991 and later scouted for the Montreal Expos. Galen Carr has been promoted to Professional Scout after serving the last three seasons as Video Advance Scouting Coordinator. Kyle Evans, who pitched in the Guardians organization, joins the club as Video Advance Scouting Coordinator. Eddie Romero Jr., the son of former Red Sox infielder Eddie Romero, has been named Assistant, Professional Scouting. Gus Quattlebaum has been named a Professional Scout after serving in the same capacity for the Baltimore Orioles. Dana Levangie , a Professional Scout in 2005 and previously the Red Sox' bullpen catcher, has been named Advance Scout. Johnny DiPuglia has been named Coordinator of Latin American Scouting after spending the last two years as the Red Sox' Latin American crosschecker. He previously coordinated Latin American scouting for the Giants and Cardinals. Ernesto Gomez has been named Supervisor of Venezuelan Scouting after being responsible for scouting one of the largest areas in the country for the past four years. Manny Nanita has been named Coordinator of Dominican Scouting and Player Development. The club also announced the hiring of nine new international scouts: Fernando Veracierto (Venezuela), Jose Suarez (Venezuela), James Pringle (Panama), Santiago Prada (Colombia), Gary Chen (Taiwan), Elvio Jimenez (Dominican Republic), Luis Scheker (Dominican Republic), Pablo Lantigua (Dominican Republic) and Jose Cabrera (Mexico) . Wayne Graczyk returns for his second year as a consultant in Japan. The Red Sox signed a total of 32 international players in 2005: 16 from the Dominican Republic, 10 from Venezuela, three from Taiwan and one from Australia, Colombia and Japan.

you never said it but the way you talk about him senses to me you are already calling him a great yankee which he is not.

Short-handed in the baseball operations department following the departures of Josh Byrnes and Peter Woodfork to the Arizona Diamondbacks, the Red Sox are expected to name Cleveland Guardians assistant director of player development Mike Hazen as their farm director. The Abington native, who has spent the past five years working for the Guardians in scouting and player development roles, was a four-year letterman in baseball at Princeton University and later played in the San Diego Padres’ minor league system. http://www.metrowestdailynews.com/sportsNews/view.bg?articleid=121437&format=&page=2

i wouldn't say ever was but the chances of him becoming as good as damon or better might favor crisp because of age, home ballpark, working with papa jack.

well they did offer 65 million to konerko and he turned it down.

he had a poor performance because he rarely got anything to hit. who did he have protecting him? and don't tell me an aging garrett anderson is his so called protection because he is not.

pedroia could still get some more AAA experience. he got hurt last yr and his stats suffered. more at-bats in pawtucket will not hurt him plus he needs to move back to shortstop. he played second last year so i would rather have him switch back in pawtucket unless he really tore it up in spring training.

the angels are not trading vlady because they are trying to find someone to protect him in the lineup.

the red sox proposed the trade to the angels so i guess im not the only one who would do the trade. one problem is the angels rejected it immediately because they know what they have in santana, wood, and kendrick. everyone know the deal will never go down because the angels would never do that no matter how good manny is.

i just said the angels were the ones who rejected the trade.....the red sox were the ones who proposed it and were willing to do it. again you have never even seen what wood or kenrick can do and i will take santana on a staff anyday. i love manny but if the red sox are going to trade him i would trade him for this package in a second.

its called getting payroll flexibility while getting a very good package in return. they would be getting a young pitcher in ervin santana who was solid last yr along with figgins who can play anywhere and 2 of the best prospects in the game that will become fixtures in the red sox infield for years. i have no doubt in my mind the sox would have made that move. it was the angels who rejected it.
