  1. You could certainly at the very least make the case for Dixon as evidenced by how quickly Oregon when in the tank afterward. You could also make a very strong case for McFadden. Lots of Tebow's rushing TDs were of That being said, Tebow will probably win it.
  2. http://mlb.mlb.com/news/article.jsp?ymd=20071205&content_id=2319266&vkey=hotstove2007&fext=.jsp Two years, $36 million.

  4. Deal makes no sense from Oakland's perspective. Reyes >>>> Crosby Mulvey And they have to give up Johnson?
  5. Answer my question instead of taking that way out. You think Beckett is mentally weak? That he has an ego? Tell me why.
  6. That's fine. Who is going to replace him? And don't link me to your blog for the answer either.
  7. Maybe. What free agent is out there to be had at this point? Jacoby doesn't have the defense for RF. If the Santana deal doesn't get done, Crisp will be moved for bench or bullpen help.

  9. How mentally weak do you think Beckett is? He's a big boy, he can handle situations like these.
  10. Not anywhere but this site. Take the rumor with a grain of salt.
  11. Wow, Mets look like early winners here. How close is Price for the Rays? A trio of Kazmir/Shields/Garza would have been real tough next season.
  12. Yes. Beckett, in the midst of a s***** season, decided to accept the Red Sox's offer at reasonable money at 3/30 with a 4th year as a club option. He took the guaranteed money even though he knew the risks involved (ie outperforming that salary level, which he did this season). Now why, if the Sox were to acquire Santana (who is a better pitcher than Josh Beckett), and he makes more money than Josh Beckett, why would they have to restructure his deal for fear of as you say, "pissing him off"? He assumed the risk of signing a deal for less money because of the guaranteed years.
  13. This argument is consistently brought up and is absolutely retarded.
  14. I think Tek is as overrated as they come, but the fact is there are not other good options for the Sox. And honestly, if he can hit .260 the next two seasons I think a 2/24 type deal would be worth it. I'd be happier if they dumped Dougie and gave Kottaras a shot.
  15. I love Miller as a prospect and I feel Maybin is quite overrated.
  16. So there's 6 playoff spots? Hell of a run by See Red to get back into this thing too, btw.
  17. Yeah, definitely don't see the deal happening w/o a CF. Hope so. Then again I could be completely wrong. If the Sox are the only bidders, why is it taking so long? They aren't bidding against anyone. The Angels say they're out of it, as do the Yanks. It's certainly reasonable to think the longer this drags out, the chances of landing him lessen. Besides, I wouldn't put it past Hank to sweep in and nab Santana in the 11th hour from the Sox, completely ignoring that the deadline was his creation.
  18. Couple quick points - Gammons said the deal is no longer 5-for-1. Thats' probably clear by the new offers that have come about in this thread, but it's not 5-for-1. I don't see how the deal gets done w/o Crisp or Ellsbury. The Twins need a CF, and while Kalish is a decent prospect, he doesn't fill that positional need. Crisp would be the perfect stopgap until Revere is ready for them. Lastly, is it possible to think the negotiations right now are for a new contract? All major players except the Sox are done, so maybe they're working on the particulars of an extension. Just a thought.
  19. That'd be awfully tough. http://www.boston.com/sports/baseball/redsox/extras/extra_bases/2007/12/angels_not_in_o.html
