    People wore the # 18 for the Red Sox last year. Roids.

    Dealing Crisp for Otsuka is a pretty bad idea.

    http://www.freep.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20061214/SPORTS02/612140388 I can't really blame him.

    .262 BA .341 OBP .387 SLG 90 OPS+ I think Pedroia can exceed these numbers. Why spend $$ on an older version of Pedroia?
  5. TheKilo
    Bring him out back and shoot him.

    If Doug Mirabelli can get a police escort, Matsuzaka can.
  7. TheKilo
    There's probably a reason he's not getting any offers...

    If the deal is 6/$66 mil, I don't think they "flinched" at all.
  10. TheKilo
    If they're both on the plane, it's done. Any doubt?

    Jacksonian, what's the point of people signing contracts at all if they don't want to honor them? Matsuzaka is under contract with Seibu. Through the posting system, he has been given an oppurtunity to work here in the US. Boars said last night the final decision will be Daisuke's. Not some beat writer saying that, not a Gordon Edes or a Ken Rosenthal, but BORAS himself. If Matsuzaka chooses to not sign, that is his decision and nothing illegal has taken place. Boras is negotiatig to get a bigger offer from the Red Sox. If he gets some more money than the initial offer he has done his job. It is ultimately Matsuzaka's decision.
  14. TheKilo
    Are you thickheaded? There's tremendous pressure on Matsuzaka to sign BECAUSE HIS CURRENT TEAM IS ALREADY SPENDING THE POSTING MONEY. What grounds does Boras have to bring about a lawsuit? As far as you or I or anyone on here knows the porceedings to this point have been completely legal and legitimate. The Sox bid to negotiate with Matsuzaka. If they don't reach a deal, he goes back to Japan. Typically, when lawsuits are brought about, there has to be some evidence of wrongdoing. What has happened that can bring a lawsuit?

    Incentives would be the way everyone saves face. If Matsuzaka pitches well enough he'll earn the money. Boras can say "look what my client can potentially receive" Sox FO says "You can earn the money, but we'll guarantee you $40 mil." Did you also read my posts last night? How Seibu was ALREADY spending the $51.1 mil?
  17. TheKilo
    So if the base is 5/40, with incentives, how is that a bad deal? I mean I'd like to see the Sox offer maybe 5/50 plus incentives, but we don't know the incentives involved. For a guy who hasn't thrown a pitch in the majors, $40 mil guaranteed is nothing to sneeze at. BTW Boras said Matsuzaka is worth $100 mil including the posting fee last night, not on top of it. I imagine this deal, if incentives are met, will exceed $100 mil including the posting fee.
  18. TheKilo
    Gordon Edes don't know s***.
  19. TheKilo
    I understand, but if you're dealing your starting CF you need to do better than Akinori Otsuka.
  20. TheKilo
  21. TheKilo
    Trading Crisp for Otsuka may be the definition of selling low.
  22. TheKilo
    Sox PC soon.
  23. TheKilo
    He's a Yankee fan, of course he wants Manny gone.
  24. TheKilo
    All that talk about Boras buying out Daisuke? Nope. http://www.nytimes.com/2006/12/12/sports/b...ml?ref=baseball
