  1. as for dealing sheff in a fair deal, the reports are that the sox raised demands after what the yankees got for sheff. I'd say the sox would say they got more than "fair" value.
  2. sotk, love the title. Must say though, you have to address that. The lack of a sure fire closer cost the sox 2003 as Grady didnt have faith in his pen. Lack of a pen at all cost the sox 2002. The one yr they get it right, they win it all. 2005 was a mulligan in that Foulke exploded. 2006, the sox had the closer and hence why they were flying so high when they were severely flawed. The flaws eventually win out, as do the injuries. This time, the sox may not be spectacular in any area, but they are good enough to win if they can g a good bullpen. Without that, I have no idea what will happen. The sox will be impossible to predict. I dont need to tell you what suffering through a bad pen is like, 2007 will be no different.
  3. I still think the sox have a gaping hole in their team in the bullpen, but the sieve of 2006 is tightening up. What I find interesting is that Theo has the perfect example of how to win a few hundred miles away. No matter how stupid you can be with your money, so long as you win the games that are handed to your closer, you will do well. If you pick ONE man on the yankees who was the biggest reason for the recent run of championships, you point to Mo. I find it interesting that Theo sees this first hand and refuses to acknowledge it on his own team.
  4. What to do with Clement. Hmm. Have the sox filled the Dice-K personal servant position?
  5. and your crystal ball says this or do you have proof? Pettitte has made 68 starts the last 2 yrs. He'll be fine.
  6. goddamn it I need a pick me up.
  7. I think the stros will keep both and try to have a solid 1-2 punch. ESPECIALLY since they lost their 2 and 3 respectively.
  8. you have improved your team more than the yankees have. Unfortunately for you, there was a VERY large difference between the 2 teams. You needed a SP - check. You needed a RFer I guess - check. You needed a SS - check. You need an entire bullpen - still in progress. The Yankees needed to deal sheff - check. Deal Wright - check. Add a top line SP - check. Didnt really need Igawa, but - check. Improve the farm - check. Now they need a first baseman - pending.
  9. this might be something that predisposes the Nats to dealing Cordero? Maybe? Who knows.
  10. Both guys are coming off a down yr. But you have to think about their value if they are at their best, and sorry to say, but an absolute lights out closer is much more valuable than a free swinging switch hitter with minimal power who is below average as a CFer. Also, last season, Lidge wasnt THAT bad. Last yr, Coco was.
  11. Cocout for Lidge? Need more than that right now my friend, Coco has little value.
  12. and ere we have Dice- K banging a hooker from Jamaica Plain. Here we have Dice-K scoring some diesel in Mattapan.
  13. Bitter much. Absolutely, I admit it. I went to bed last night feeling all warm and fuzzy that Matsu was going back to Japan. Today I get smacked back to reality. Score one for the sox, AND the rivalry. This is gonna be one hell of a yr.
  14. the whole access to revenue streams is a garbage proposal. That money will hit the revenue sharing bit and be split 30 ways.
  15. wow. Wily Mo has a chance at 30HRs in 90games during beer league. In the MLB, not a chance in holy hell.
  16. wily mo might get a full season in. As we all know Nancy will be in RF, and he isnt very durable.
  17. 15 wins, 4.01 ERA 180K 180IP is the baseball prospectus projection.
  18. police escort? Are you serious?
  19. could be. I remember when he first came up. He was NASTY with a 95+ heater. When I saw him last, he was hitting 91-92 tops.
  20. dont see it happening. He could get more on the open market and there is no question he wants out of toronto.
  21. http://i98.photobucket.com/albums/l277/noizecomplaint/33336483spongebob_smoking_weed.jpg
  22. Clement is likely done in Boston. His surgery + recovery will take him at least to the AS break and by then he will still be a shadow of himself. He will leave shamed and go somewhere where nobody cares about baseball.
