  3. Farnsworth may be on the move: Pettitte will make decision by January 1st: John Damon likes to run his mouth - http://www.boston.com/sports/baseball/redsox/extras/thebuzz/:
  4. LOL JD DREW IZ HURT ALL TEH TIME He only played in 140 games this season. Again, I ask you, how can you afford internet if you're spending $70 million on JD Drew? Goddamn...
  5. Rotoworld:
  6. Did you read the article I posted, where the Marlins would ask for Ellsbury and either one of Lester and Buchholz? No? Irrelevant, seeing as we're going to be faced with the decision to re-up Manny for $20 million in 2009 anyways. Like i said before, pounds can be lost, years can't. We agree re:Buchholz, but where has it been said that Cabrera isn't a good clubhouse guy? Yes, his work ethic has been questioned, but those issues can be easily resolved, IMO. From what I have heard, he's an easygoing guy who practices Santeria....which is where the perception of clashing with management comes from. Besides, Manny and Ortiz are entering their decline phases. Ortiz has just as many health issues as Cabrera does. Get Cabrera, and in 4 years he can be your DH. They don't have to "make up" for anything. Anibal was a prospect nowhere near the level of Jon Lester, and Ellsbury's got better MiLB numbers than Hanley had.
  7. THANK you. In no way shape or form am I dealing Buchholz for Cabrera. But if you can get a bat like that...without dealing your best prospect...man. Who's to say he can't play LF when Manny leaves? Having Coco in center and the Monster would help him out as much as it does Manny.
  8. Who is this "they" you speak of? And besides, if he moves to 1B, you move Youk to 3B. You don't think the Sox would make note of this? They just put fitness incentives in Schilling's contract. They have the programs in place to shed the pounds. One advantage for Cabrera over Lowell is time. Cabrera can lose the weight but Lowell can't turn back the clock. Ignoring the sabermetric dig...isn't Ortiz an injury risk waiting to happen? What about Manny? So basically what I'm hearing is don't trade for a generational talent if you can do so without giving up your best prospect. Gotcha. [table]Year|AVG|HR|RBI|SLG|OPS|OPS+ 2005|.323|33|116|.561|.946|151 2006|.339|26|114|.568|.998|159 2007|.320|34|119|.565|.966|150[/table] And to think....he'd be cost controlled for two seasons before you had to sign him to an extension.
  9. You're not getting Cabrera without parting with one of Ellsbury or Buchholz.
  10. http://www.palmbeachpost.com/marlins/content/sports/epaper/2007/11/07/1107marlins.html Ellsbury + Lester for Cabrera?
  11. I'd do that deal yesterday.

  13. It's been an idea that has been thrown around lately. PS I was being sarcastic Re: the Ellsbury thing.

  15. Things may have changed: http://msn.foxsports.com/mlb/story/7416282
  16. http://www.boston.com/sports/baseball/redsox/articles/2007/11/07/earning_his_keep/ 3 years, $12-14 million? Sign me up.
  17. Tell me....who's the agent for our Team Captain Proven Veteran Jason Varitek?
  18. This encapsulates the argument 100%. Well said.
  19. If he wants to knock his offense, maybe his unit shouldn't have given up 38 points. Oh wait, that's the offenses' fault.
  20. Arod 3rd Papi 4th Manny 5th I find it really tough to hear people say he'd be a clubhouse cancer. Look, my hangup with the guy is the length of the contract. If you could do 5/150 for ARod you do that deal yesterday. Any longer than 5 years is not a good investment.
