Wells

No

What was the offer, Scott? why not divulge that info??

Boras could be full of s*** though.. it's been known to happen

The Nats probably are in more need of draft picks.. that's a good reason not to sign IMO

What choice does any sensible fan have than to be comfortable with it? Sure I want the Sox to win but I don't want to see them skimming for turds at the surface of the FA Pool either.. This is not the offseason to go balls out .. they'll end up looking like the '05-'06 Yankees if they do that.. yes they have to do something with LF and SS but I one more year of Lowell isn't going to kill us.. can't lose Ortiz though (even ... especially if somehow they manage to get Adrian Gonzalez) as far as the rotation though I feel pretty good about Buchholz and Dice-K (provided Dice sticks with the f***ing program.. plus there's no WBC to worry on) .. Wakefield is a serious question mark with a lot of "ifs" though but hell.. nothing a bargain reclaimation hump can't fix and like Lester82 said: Beckett is going into a contract year.. what do you think he's gonna do?

Ya know... the more I read about this trade/that trade and the skimpy FA pool this off season I wouldn't be terribly unhappy if the Sox FO made moves to better prepare themselves for 2011 and not make a mass amount of huge moves this offseason.. I mean we're throwing around the following names: Bay Holliday Halladay Adrian Gonzalez Damon Jack f***ing Wilson Hawpe (seriously?) Hanley Ramirez I'm sure there are more names out there that have been mentioned (with more to come) but there is no reason to trade away Clay Buchholz for anybody.. I really do think he "figured it out" in the 2nd half of '09 and any team with a chip is going to push hard to steal him away from us.. Beckett Lester Buchholz Dice-K Wakefield Not really a bad 5 man, considering.. Sure Dice-K is a "?" as is Wake but I'm comfortable with it as it is provided they stay healthy.. I don't feel like this offseason is the one to make THEE impact.. just not enough big fish floating around out there.. next offseason is a better class (I'm pretty sure) and we'll have a lot more money coming off the books and I'm not saying the Sox should do nothing but the 2 major concerns should be LF and SS.. there's an easy 1 year answer at short in A-Gon and LF .. f*** it.. throw Holliday the money

I'll be happy with "Go Away-Rod"

Pretty sad.. Gonzalez has pitiful numbers offensively but how can anyone want to shake that D? Scutaro is NOT worth 2 picks and nobody else on this list wouldn't make me go "WOOHOO!" were he to be picked up.. SS looks like it's gonna be a problem for a while

Jason Kubel: a player Twins fans can get excited about.

What competitive fire!!! Haha

I'll let you figure it out...

9/14 AL offense 87 wins mediocrity The Minnesota Twins

Sorry man

Uhhmm... ok

Guys like Kubel and Cuddyer make me scared :harhar:

Sioux take on lowly Michigan Tech tonight.. Gophers can still suck it

It happens haha... getting off on a bad foot doesn't always remain

Pick up the 6MM option and keep the D

I hope so.. I really do

Ells did make strides in the 2nd half but 41 and then 49 BB's in 2008 and '09, respectively.. leadoff guys need to be walking to first base at least 85-90 times in 500+ ABs

I'd rather see JD Drew in that role.. granted he doesn't have the SB's obviously he gets on base a lot more.. I don't think SB's alone make a leadoff guy.. Ellsbury seems to hit spots where he just doesn't make it to first as often as a leafoff guy should and he never seems to want that free pass.. Drew has a lot more discipline at the plate and his OBP is nearly .050 higher which could translate to more runs in the long run.. Ellsbury should be batting 7th, 8th or 9th until he finally learns to take a pitch this applies as long as Drew can stay healthy, of course..

I definitely agree on bringing Ells in a few steps.. he really does have trouble reading fly balls he has to come in on.. defense isn't my biggest concern for him though.. I don't think he's cut out to be a leadoff guy.

Wow.. the BH Invasion lasted longer than this guy

no love for the B's?
