    my most memorable was game 2 of the 99 alcs....

    maybe they are just going to have raja come back, sign for a day and retire his number just like football players do........

    One of the main reasons a college player is a better pick is that they have matured mentally and have almost reached the physical stature they would be playing at in the majors. Plus they will have established a baseline of success that can be evaluated and even projected. The wait to see them in action is shorter and they have a better chance of staying because they are not spending 8-10 years in the minor leagues. BTW, we are not upset you have Damon because you will be getting him in his declining years. He will have so many outside distractions (along with his wife) that his overall production will suffer. Our loss will be your loss.

    Agreeing with the direction the FO is taking doesn't mean one is "buying the spin". Not if the direction makes sense. Financial flexibility is an issue for 29 teams out there, some more so than others. There is only one team that is capable of putting the biggest offer on the table every time, and that is the same team that can afford to have $18M players riding the pine if they aren't playing well enough. Nobody else can afford that, so if the fans want their team's FO to be smart with money when the FA market is weak, it is only out of a desire for their team to be able to make a run at premiere talent when it hits the market. That isn't "buying" anything, it is understanding the reality of the situation, a reality that the fans of one team don't have to accept. And that's extactly why everyone loves to see the yankmees lose and why there'll never be team chemistry - too many brown's and sheffields with big egos. Oh, did I mention a-rod?

    He's pimping for Torre's job when he gets fired next year.....

    Foulke is the key. at least they will know in ST if he can throw. They won't have to wait until june/july to make a change. if he's ok then everything will fall into place with timlin getting a little more time off now that they have seanz and others to pick up the load.

    I think murphy may need a full season at aaa. Hitting .275 at portland is ok for that level but he'll see some better pitching at the next level. Only 4 errors is a plus as I heard his defense is his strong suit - rf is probaly the future for him unless coco can't cut it in cf.
  12. Americal Man
    ORS, I agree with you about schilling's performance last year. he will return to form and we will have a much better pitching staff than last year with him leading the way.
  13. Americal Man
    I agree that it is the FO showing manuel that they are trying to do the right thing for him. .part of the annual ritual. he'll smile and do the .300+, 40, 125 thing once again. Then, they'll do it again next fall just to keep him happy.

    Just finished reading this thread. i see everyone met the rivernator last night. get used to the long posts on why the yankmees are the better team and will win it all. Last year we pointed out on the BH forum that their pitching was awful and wouldn't last - guess what happened. not much is going to change this year except that both our staring pitching and the pen are better that the yankmees and now we can watch it play out. another great day to be a red sox fan - we have a lot to look forward to this year. watching coco grow will be the best part after schill wins his Th game.
  15. Americal Man
    Hammer, I would go for that. he's always been a gamer and played hard. he's never asked toleave and took a discount to stay. you think red sox when you mention his name. Plus he had 8 assists last year.
  16. Americal Man
    he saved us in the 2003 playoffs against oakland and he had some big hits in the ws. remember, he has played hurt for the last two years but would still run through a wall for the ball unlike sheffield who will give up and play the bounce. i give him one more year and this is it.
  17. Americal Man
    This is trot's year to make it happen. two years of injuries and the weight gains and losses took their toll on him, If he doesn't come to ST in great shape, they will look to move him. I believe he wil rise to the challange and if he does,they will be another offense powerhouse this year. if he was juicing, this will be the year it will show.
  18. Americal Man
    he's a horse that will get better as he pitches more. he should learn another pitch and schill will help him with the split. he and hanson will be good going down the road....
  19. Americal Man
    the oriholes have a lot of problems. Lopez wants an extension, miggy is not happy, they lost their closer, they have no other big boppers since palmeiro and sosa left and their pitching is still young. the d-rays won't have Lou to kick their butts and who knows how they will do. mj, you believe what you want about your pen but it will fail you again this year. we upgraded ad barring injuries will do much better. foulke either will or won't real early so we won't get hung out on that again
  20. Americal Man
    manny don't forget the dh - papi vs?
  21. Americal Man
    mj, i believe he was just pitching with his arm early on plus he was not is shape because of the; surgery, post season celebrations and the general excitement surrounding the ws win. we'll know soon enough how he will be this year.
  22. Americal Man
    va, go get him.....
  23. Americal Man
    mj, you of all people know how long it takes for that surgery to heal. he was as good as he could be w/o the ability to really push off. clement is an enigma although the was 13-2 with a few blown saves before he started to go downhill. I'd take that any day and just shut him down for a month
  24. Americal Man
    mj, 26 more wins is not a significant differnce? wanna restate that?
  25. Americal Man
    Beckett is the only one with arm problems (we really don't know yet) while Wright , pavano and Wang arm all arm problems. schilling should be healed and early reports are he is doing well. clement was only a scope job which again we Will have to see how that works in ST. much better shape than your pitchers. plus rj and mussina are always a crap shoot with their injuries.
