    they have a salary cap in football where big market teams spend just as much as small market teams and it seems to work out fine in that league. it gives every team a chance to compete year in and year out.

    i wonder how many people take into account that alot of the hits that damon slapped off the wall at fenway will becomes out at yankee. he is not a dead pull hitter. i believe his average will drop into a range like between .280-.290. for his career he is a .290 hitter and if you take him away from fenway it would be much lower than that.

    with lawton on the mariners maybe they move ichiro to center and then trade jeremy reed to the red sox

    hanley was a top 10 prospect in many peoples eyes but the fact is he was getting alot of hype for having 5 tool potential yet he has never backed up his hype with the statistics. the red sox in fact have replaced hanley with an even better prospect in andy marte who has backed up his hype with stats in the minors and is 21 already and has tasted the big leagues.

    the red sox have both flaherty and huckaby now competing for the backup catcher job.

    its getting pretty ridiculous for contracts but that is all due to the extra money going around in baseball from satellite radio and the television contract with espn.

    NY won't be winning titles with the pitching staff they have right now. Damon is not a 13 million dollar a yr player either. i didnt see other teams banging down damons door to sign him either.

    The red sox signed catcher John Flaherty to a 1 yr 650,000 deal. http://www.boston.com/sports/baseball/redsox/articles/2005/12/22/boston_nabs_backup_c_flaherty_from_yankees/

    our prayer's go out to the entire dungy family

    that 6 yr offer most likely was scott boras's typical mystery team which is the same team he said varitek had a 5 yr offer from last yr. i don't buy damon had another offer on the table. that is a typical boras ploy.

    reed has the potential to be the next grady sizemore. they were comparable prospects coming up through the minors. sizemore has turned into a pretty good leadoff hitter while reed struggled his first yr but has time to rebound

    defensively graff at short is not that good.....having him at short and loretta at second will hurt the red sox range up the middle

    its just damon being an idiot like usual
  14. jsinger121
    I feel for you living behind enemy lines. its going to be ok. the red sox will be reeping the benefits of a farm system in the next few yrs while the yankees will all be filing for social security and medicare.
  15. jsinger121
    im not surprised the red sox didnt move. hes not a 13 million dollar a yr player and the red sox know that. hes a career .290 hitter. he will not have the wall next yr at yankee stadium to punch hits off of. those balls that were hit off the wall last yr will be fly outs at yankee stadium. the red sox will use some of this savings on damon on hopefully international scouting, the amueter draft, and the farm system.

    i know the players union will never do that because they are powerful but it would be for the best if MLB had a cap
  17. jsinger121
    actually it is 3 million a yr times 4 with equals 12. that money can go to other uses. i commend the red sox for holding ground and not going above what the yankees offered because if they did they would have regretted it. championships are not always profitable. ask the florida marlins when they won in 1997. they ended up losing money that season. they ended up breaking the team up shortly there after

    baseball needs a cap. player salaries are out of control. it would bring competitive balance as well. if MLB had a salary cap like the NFL you would see more parity which would be good. it would give all teams a chance to compete.
  19. jsinger121
    The office wants to be fiscally responsible. they dont want to get locked into big contracts to players in their 30's. to them giving damon 52 million is not smart business and i am in agreement with them. damon has taken a beating the last 2 yrs. he is 32. he has no arm. i did not see other teams other than the yankees banging down his door for his services. the red sox would rather build a team through the farm system that allows them to control their players for a while.

    I always thought andrew jones was a free agent after last yr until i called my father and he told it was 2007. i guess i was dreaming when i thought jones was a free agent after 2006.
  21. jsinger121
    well since the sox didn't sign damon the money saved should go to locking up ortiz to a longer deal. now ortiz is someone who is worth 13 million a yr
  22. jsinger121
    i agree. i dont want the sox to become an aging team like the yankees that have too many guys locked up in big contracts. i want to have money to lock up young players like lester, papelbon, marte, and others when hopefully they become great players and are the cornerstone of the franchise for the future.
  23. jsinger121
    i would rather build a homegrown team that has chemistry than buy a team of stars like the yankees have done recently. all they have are mercenaries that take the all mighty yankee dollar and have not won anything.
  24. jsinger121
    they are building for the future. the sox needed to get younger and im happy they are. they have prospects like lester, hansen, delcarmen, pedroia, marte, ellsbury on the way. we won the world series already so their is no rush to win another one. i want to win as much as anyone but i want the long term success instead of a quick fix.
  25. jsinger121
    wake has done well in the past without mirabelli. i can remember he won 16 games in 1995 and 17 games in 1998 all without mirabelli. the red sox set johnny damon with a value and stuck to it. they dont value him as a 13 million dollar player. graffanino has never been a fulltime starter in his career while loretta has started in milwaukee and san diego. he was an allstar in 2004. graffanino has never been an allstar let alone a starter for an entire season.
