    the globe has an agenda in my opinion. The herald is the better paper.

    and if the sox continue to "misread the market" do you think it might be time to get guys in there who can actually read the market. It seems as if they misread the market a lot.

    be consistent? ORS, I think it is poor managing to say the least. They could not foresee what they had in their minor league system from 2003 on and it cost them the NL batting champ, the NL rookie of the year, the best NL rookie reliever a fireballing pitcher, and a solid young catcher to prove this. Then they did not have the foresight to see where the market was going and declined to make one trade that would have been very good for the team. It looks like they got railroaded in both aspects. I will give them credit though, they are doing something, but I think the Drew deal is a reactionary move that will likely haunt them for some time, when he refuses to play through minor pains (kinda like Manny) on a regular basis without putting up great production. There is nothing in Drew's past that screams solid consistent performer.

    hey yeszir, a little help with the title please. My cpu here is horrible and I cannot spellcheck for some reason. I hate typos in the title.

    http://www.projo.com/redsox/content/projo_20061129_29drew.31ec9c0.html The sox will have to wait until Dec 1st to make it official, but the language in the contract will allow the sox to keep their first rounder. As for Lugo The herald is reporting that the sox are losing interest in Julio Lugo while Buster Olney and the globe reported yesterday that the sox are very interested and have actually submitted an offer.

    Even with the bidding, the only SP to have signed is Woody Williams. Boras is no dummy. Hes really trying to get the red sox to pony up on Matsuzaka as it looks as if he will be the first domino to fall. If Matsuzaka sets the line with a 12-15mil a yr deal, you can expect the other ducks to start lining up.

    If anyone tries to tell you that the sox are better off without manny, you should smack them in the face. Manny is potentially the best right handed hitter since Henry Aaron. No matter who ythe sox get, they will not get equal value.

    selective memory.

    It is good baseball and the sox will do it with Loretta as well. If a guy leaves your team and you can get a 1st rounder for it, wouldnt you do it? I would. I just think that if the player is that good and is worth it, then why not.

    Just remember the last visage you have of Beckett. You know, the one where the yankees are rounding the bases in fenway on their way to a 5 game sweep. That is the Beckett I know. Until he takes the mound late in the yr and disproves it, that is how I view him. Abused, battered and damaged goods.

    nothing is out of the question. But a guy with a large frame who throws gas has a better propensity to keep that speed up than a smaller guy. He has that one his side. Either way, I think anyone on here can agree that he will have the same stuff barring injury this yr, so the point is moot for now.

    that was a long time ago. Recent memory my friend, recent memory. And for rician, yeah, I am a little random at times. But the madness that is ensuing over drew and his potential to get abreu money for 5 yrs amounts to total hypocrisy in the sox FO. The sox did not go after Abreu with a marginal single A prospect because they "were not the yankees" then they plan to throw the same yearly money for 3 more yrs at a guy who is not even close to Abreu in durability or production. It reeks of hypocrisy.

    at the current MLB standard, a pitcher typically loses velocity in the 33-36yr old range. If he loses it before then, well, s*** luck I guess.
  18. jacksonianmarch
    there is one big difference involved though. The yankees did not have to post for Matsui as he was already a FA.
  19. jacksonianmarch
    per rotoworld now that would put a huge wrinkle into the negotiations.
  20. jacksonianmarch
    That is usually the case in aging sinkerballers. A 95mph sinker is a whole lot harder to lift than a 90mph sinkerball. That is why so many sinkerballers really tank when they age. Their stuff is so velocity dependent that they have to adapt or be left behind. At 26, Wang has about 7-10 good yrs left before you see that happening.

    If theo thinks drew is a better player than abreu for whatever reason, then he should be fired immediately and placed in his gorilla suit into a cage with a horny male gorilla. There is no way that a slower, lesser BA hitting, and more injury prone player of around the same age is anywhere near the same as abreu.

    WEEI will scrutinize a 162-0 red sox team. I dont listen to those pukes. I am talking about national media scrutiny. As a matter of fact, Carrot top was docile for a full yr as well. The glow was used as a smokescreen to dismantle the giant killers into a group of unknowns.

    As nice as that deal looked on the day it was consummated (and do not get me wrong, I thought the beckett deal was a coup initially), it sure looks bad now. Unfortunately for GM's, owners have short memories for how things looked at the time. You are judged by outcome. If Beckett continues to suck, then this trade will single handedly sabotage this youth movement as the best ss and pitching prospect (as it turns out) will be in florida rather than in Boston.
