    that really doesnt do anything for us here, but good digging. We need to hear what Boras said.

    Boras: "I just wanted to call everyone here to say that the red sox are not meeting our demands and Matsuzaka will be going back to Japan. What you do not know, is that I enjoy dressing in drag and take it firmly in the behind."

    not at all, I thought Jason Schmidt money was going to be his determining factor, and that single contract is the reason why I think he should get no less than 15 mil a yr.

    they may be #2 in spending, but as we have seen, there are many teams willing to bend to his will.

    I am not even a sox fan and I am riveted by this negotiation. If anything, the sox know how to keep interest.

    Bard is tradeable as a PTBNL now. Either way, he strikes me as a future reliever, believe it or not. Control is suspect but he is a flat out power arm. Sounds like a closer in the making to me.

    more like 25 is what I am thinking. You usually can tell if a guy is 7 yrs older than he says he is. 1-3, probably not.

    http://www.boston.com/sports/baseball/redsox/extras/extra_bases/2006/12/tumbling_dicepi.html Tumbling dice, by gordo edes. Boras makes a very good point. The 51.1 mil is a competition exluding price, like buying property, it does not affect the equity of the property. Smart move.

    they have to do that. You protect current and future members. And you can bet that the guys who went through this process will fight it. Also, if a few guys from Japan will be coming in to take a few spots, then the guys who lose their spots arent going to be the best of players and would be replaced by some rookies anyways. It isnt like Pujols needs to worry about his job here.

    hansen's work thus far is a small sample size too, but anyone who has seen him pitch can see that the pressure is getting to him.
  15. jacksonianmarch
    It isnt just potential members. There will definitely be future members affected and some already in the union have been adversely affected. If the posting system was relegated to nothing, Matsuzaka would have been in the majors 2 yrs ago when he really wanted to be posted.
  16. jacksonianmarch
    it makes sense ya know. He has thrown 5.1IP of major league baseball, so why not install him as a closer out of ST. Sound reasoning theo.
  17. jacksonianmarch
    no, the same could not be said about Papelbon last yr. Papelbon was successful in his little stint in the majors last yr. Hansen hasnt been.
  18. jacksonianmarch
    How about of all time? I know a ton about Teddy Ballgame from a historical aspect. Never saw him play, but I think he is my favorite sock of all time. Fighter pilot, best hitter in a sox uni, national hero. The guy was the f***ing man. As for guys who I ever saw, I'd have to say Jim Rice. The guy was scary.
  19. jacksonianmarch
    Herald says the talks are still stalled and arent likely to get moving. Boras hasnt budged off his 15 mil requests and Theo hasnt moved off 7-8 mil. http://redsox.bostonherald.com/redSox/view.bg?articleid=171439 They are saying that the sox may make a run at Clemens.
  20. jacksonianmarch
    http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/news/story?id=2693552 The guy says he is 23. Scouts project him as a .280+ 20+ HR hitter. He is a left handed 1b/of. The deal is for 4yrs 2mil with a 500K bonus. It is a MLB contract and will require that he stay on the 40 man roster.

    it wont destroy the japanese league. Their best players are being whored out to america anyways. They will still have players, teams will still be filled and life will go on. And why would Matsuzaka have a rally? Because he is an icon over there, who is leaving. I dont think they hate him now that he is going.
  22. jacksonianmarch
    the question is, though, if the players start retiring in Japan and coming to america, it isnt like they will be ostracized. They will be vigorously followed by the loyal japanese fans. Your point on this topic about these players being considered traitors is wrong.
  23. jacksonianmarch
  24. jacksonianmarch
    that was because the players union had already negotiated the deal. I am not sure if the posting system was negotiated between the players and the owners or if it was just a MLB to Japan thing. If the posting system is in the CBA, then there is nothing they can do about it.
  25. jacksonianmarch
    agreed. If we were talking gagne money, then no f***ing way. If it is a small base (1mil) with tons of incentives, I'd be ok with that.
