a700 is like TalkSox's very own Energizer Bunny. He takes a licking, but keeps on ticking. I give him credit. If everything that came out of my mouth was bashed and dismissed using logic, I'd keep quiet.

It's all good man. I have more respect for a poster who can admit to a "doh" rather then spend 20 minutes trying to cover it up -
I think Lowell get's dealt at some point anyways. If not he could see time at 1B and DH. He would probably be better against tough LHP then Ortiz. The Sox may be lacking in "star" power in places, but I would wager they have one of the more solid 1-25 rosters in the league. Most of their back ups are starters somewhere else.

Guys, Lowell should be 100% by ST. It's a 6-8 week recovery period, and it's December. Stop using "Gom" time frames.

Also with the Bradley trade, I'm making on eof my predictions, Ankiel to the Cubs at some point.

I don't understand why agents haven't caught on yet. The Sox typically have a value for a player and don't normally go above it(to a certain extent). And I like it. I know it probably cost the Sox Tex last off season. But I like how the team won't let someone bend them over a barrel. And I really like how they have pretty much ignored Boras this off season. And not played his games. Also just an add on since I brought the topic up(Boras). If I was St. Louis I would yank my deal off the table right now. There is almost no market now for Bay and Holliday. There is the Mets and Cardinals. With SF on the outskirts. St. Louis should pull that rumored 8 year deal and make a 5 year offer, 6 at the most. Because let's be honest, who is going to top it?
-
I hate to be the one to let you know. But LF is filled. The only moves the Sox will be making, is fo a utility IF, 5th OF, possibly a BP arm or 2. And possibly moving Lowell at a later date.
-
What? Because Lowell was part of a trade and not a FA? That's about the only difference.

Seriously? You bring absolutely nothing to this site but persoanl bias. Any person with half a brain can look at those stats and comprehend they are "comparable". If you can't see that, then maybe a eye doctor appointment is in order...

Like it's been said, I think the deal will go down in ST or when he proves he can play.
-
It's what I'm thinking too. There's not a lot better then him left out there IMO.

No the pitching is good. It's everything else that's been mediocore.

Typically what smart business men try and do... Not everyone chooses to run their team in the red in an attempt to win championships.

I don't think Beltre is an option anymore at this point IMO. Like it's been said, the Sox are nearing the luxury tax threshold. And probably aren't going to spend any more big $ until some contracts are shed. Don't forget, Beckett and Martinez need to extended, so honestly I'm not sure the Sox can spend a ton going forward. It's going to be Youk/Martinez/Lowell rotation ,or Youk/Martinez/Ramirez. I don't expect any large moves until the TDL at the earliest, unless Agon's price comes down, which there is no reason to think it will.

Latest tid bit,

First of all we should wait and see if the Lowell trade goes through. With Ramirez in the fold the 1B/C rotation should be set. I'm pretty good with what they have going forward(assuming the Lowell deal gets done). They need to add a 5th OF(Baldelli would be fine by me). The need a utility IF. Carroll signed already, so I guess Nick Green would be ok for that role. I'd like to see them sign Sheets to a 1 year deal. But the rotation seems to be set(if Buchholz is not traded). Outside of that I think this will be the team going into ST. I can deal with Kotchman at 1B for now. He fits well with the Defensive/SP course the Red Sox appear to be taking this off season. It would probably be better to see what's available more towards the TDL anyways.

I can't believe Sabean's name hasn't popped up for worst GM yet lol

Silva will be helped by the move to the NL. But I agree, if Seattle can keep Bradley from flying off the rails, they win big here. They have really made some impressive moves. I would assume that put's them out of the Bay sweepstakes as well.
