What a robbery.

Ehh I don't really love the idea of having Wake hold down a 1 run lead in the 9th. He just scares me. If he were to be in the bullpen, middle reliever would be a better spot where he can hold the fort for a few innings, with much less pressure.

No not really. The passed balls, something a catcher has much more control over, were through the roof with Bard.

Let Loretta go. We got a good prospect in the wings, and jsing is right, his defense is being looked at wrong. He handles the balls he gets to well, but he doesn't get to as many as he should.

Look out for future closer Justin Masterson.

So the Sox get 2 first rounders and at least 2 supplementals probably with the losses of Loretta, Nixon and maybe Gonzalez.

I believe they just ended compensation for Type C.

Best Free Agent out there. The one with the least ?'s, unlike Zito and Matsuzaka.

BA (or at least the BA Prospect Handbook) ranked the Sox #8 AFTER they dealt Hanley and Anibal. But Marte was in the rankings and #1. I'd say around 11-13.

Yeah man, he cheated.

He's going to be 41 Opening Day. His BAA was .305.

Noooooo not Meche!

Damn.

This offseason is one of the very few, I think, that us fans have very little clue as to what will happen. Will we trade Crisp? Will we trade Manny? Will we get a stud pitcher, or a decent pitcher? Will it be from FA or trades? Which of the middle infield will we re-sign, if any? Is Lowell gone? Will Paps close or start (already answered). Will Lester be back, will Clement be back? Many questions. I'm excited. Let's get it started.

Just a prediciton right now, pretty vague, but the Guardians, Mariners, Pirates and Rockies will do noticeably better in 2007 than in 2006. Very noticeably.

Yeah good thing the World Series is over. But seriously, talking about 2007's predictions is just repeating what happened this year. We don't know the rosters of anyone yet.

Yeah, nothing can be said now. With our team NOW? No, there's no chance we could win. We shall see what happens.

Yeah, I would take Gonzo over Loretta.

Tigers in 4.

You're telling me about one in 10,000,000 prospects are successful big leaguers?

I would say Beltre does. He is a 5 tool talent with a lot of power potential. Tejada has good potential too, a very good athlete with good speed, a good glove and gap power. Both are good people, not just baseball players. Tejada shows a lot of maturity for his age and is baseball smart and savvy. Beltre "hustles at every step".

What did you see? I saw some fantastic plays in the field. Fielding never rests. Hitting is a variable. His hitting will come. He's going to be 24 next year. Can't baby the spects any longer.
