Then one day, the sox were sick of being booed So they sent to the plate that hot swingin' dude Jed that is, Number 12, first round draftee Well the next thing ya know Jed 'll be a millionaire Franconna said "Jed's a hittin over there" Said "Short stop is the place you ought to be" So Jed loaded up his truck and he moved to Beverly. Mass that is, Gated house, Fancy cars. Well now its time to say good bye to Jed and all his kin. And they would like to thank the Jays fer kindly droppin’ in. You're all invited back a gain to this locality To have a heapin’ helpin’ of his speciality Hittin that is. Set a spell, Take your shoes off. Y'all come back now, y'hear?.

I think Lowrie (for now at least) is the ss. Igleias will have to beat him out next spring if he's .285 or under this year. if over then it's JL's job to lose. Catcher is another story. A great mystery.

I was only 11 but if Lonborg had given up sking I think it'd be Big Jim. Over the short haul Pedro The long haul Roger Wake gets honorable mention.

I used to listen to the sox on the radio with my dad in the 60's. Then we'd watch them on channel 6 out of Providence on the the weekends. Take you're shoes off Put you're feet up It's time to meet up with the Boston Red Sox Boston born and boston bred Sox Relax, Relax and be a Sox watcher.

I seem to remember CC starting off poorly last year. I'd love to see him dig them an early hole this year as he did for the Guardians last year.

Tex saved jeter's throw in the dirt. He just isn't good!!!!!!!!!!!

2 Run double-with Huff (lefty) no less Gotta love it

Marte It just keeps getting Better

Did you see that pop to left, I think jeffery Mayer mover to Baltimore. Gotta love CC's line. Go O's

Most of the experts agree CC can hit for average and at least some power. I don't know why other teams aren't banging the doors down to get this low cost hitter. He seems like he'd be ok if a club had a small corner outfielde spot. I think there may be to much value in 1st base "D". AND, isn't the DH position made for hitters with poor D. If it weren't for Baldelli (if he can play multiple consecutive games) I think we could find 300- 350 AB's. Thoughts??:dunno:

The dodgers only gave up Laroche and Morris (TJ surgery) for Manny. Please tell me we didn't give money too.

Pedroia, Youk, Papi, Bay, Lowell, Drew, Lowery, Tek, Ellsbury Not sure that gets us there especially since we've taken Craig out of the mix. (I hope he finds it in Pittsburgh)

Manny, Craig and Moss for Jason Bay. They've got to be kidding. How could we give up the kids when manny is the best player i the deal to begin with and Dodgers give up nothing.

manny hansen and lowery for hanley is about the only traid I'd make w/ Fla

Colon doesn't have to be the old CY he is not our 1, 2, or even 3. I think he'll end up helping and could be a big plus

All 28 and younger Becket, Matsusaka, Lester, Buchholz, Bowden, Masterson Delcarmen, Breslow, Hansen, Pappelbon IF Carter, Lowery, Pedroia, Youkilis(almost 29) OF Ellisbury, Crisp, Moss C Ga Tech has a player projected as a catcher (gotta love Varitek's alma mata)

I have to say. The sox should be right up there with the top of the division next year and beyond. Pitching, pitching, pitching I would say the yuckees have at best the 3rd best staff in the east Tor with haladay, Burnett, Lilly... and sox (we know the drill). Whoever our leadoff hitter is will score plenty of runs in front of Ortiz, Manny, Lowell, Nixon, Varitek...

i'lol take joey gathright or rocfco b in cf either should be ok ion the leadoff\

Jd we hardly knew ya!!! "show me the $" Sox Yuckees line up J. Reed / Gathright ??? Damon Loretta Jeter Ortiz Shefield Manny ARod Lowell Matsui Nixon Giambi Varitek Posada Youk / Platoon Tino Cora / Pedroia / Graffinino / ???
