He needs to go to the AL and be a DH.

I do! Thought the techical definition would help iortiz better, then he could understand it with regard to baseball.

There are plenty of us out here!

My thoughts exactly. POST MORE ORS!

That could be sweet

I tend to agree with Bellhorn in that regard.:thumbsup:

That is nice to hear.

Well, at least I won't get nauseated every 5 games watching him spit/pitch. I hate missing a game but seriously considered missing his starts and picking back up in the later innings. Just sayin'

Sox will sign Cook to continue to create "competition" in rotation Posted by Nick Cafardo, Globe Staff January 9, 2012 11:57 AM First it was veteran Carlos Silva, now it's Aaron Cook. Sox general manager Ben Cherington has taken the approach that he'll bring in a few veteran starters to compete for one or two spots in the starting rotation, rather than spend big on a big-name free-agent. The concept is a page out of the New York Yankees book, They were successful with Freddy Garcia and Bartolo Colon last season. Cook, who will be 33 next month, will have his physical in Boston on Wednesday which he should pass to qualify for a minor league contract. He could earn $1.55 million if he makes the major league club, the salary first reported by WEEI.com.. He has been a Rockie throughout his career. He was 3-10 with a 6.03 ERA last season and threw 97 innings. He's had some injuries which had held him back the past three years. Last spring training. Cook shut his index finger in a screen door and broke it. He wasn't able to pitch until June and it affected the sinkerballer's command. Cook was highly recommended to the Sox by new pitching coach Bob McClure, who was Cook's minor league pitching coach in the Colorado system.

Don't see that much these days. Enjoy retirement Georgie.

Can't stop can you?

HE is everywhere!

To playing in Boston. He had the same batting stance while with Tampa didn't he?

Jenks actually looks like he's dropped some weight in the picture that's in the Globe. Crawford isn't spineless, just needs to adjust IMO.

Just read about that in the Globe. No big shocker I suppose.

This is true.

I'm torn about Lavarnway. Would love him to catch but also wonder if he would make a good DH? I guess he is too young to think just DH. See how he pans out catching. Psyched to see what happens.

LMAO Spud! I think the Sox, far from perfect, front office could make some more pitching moves between now and the trade deadline. But which pitchers, I don't know. Folks in the press still talk about Garza being a possibility. I don't want to lose guys like Kalish and Lavarnway either. Hope Kalish heals well and quickly, it was a joy watching him last season. Good to see you posting more. Nice to hear about you and your "old" lady getting hitched!
