If they don't get anything done, he's wearing pinstripes along with Holliday next offseason.

No one will be the actual Captain(wearing the C) if and when Tek leaves. Pedroia is the heart of the team at the moment. Give him a couple more years and he could be could very well be considered to wear the C. Tek did alot to wear the C, something the Sox hasn't let anyone do for a very long time. You can have a Captain/leader of the team without them wearing the letter.

Why, do you think you can get Sheets for 5M a season? At that price he might be worth a flier. if he requires more then a one year deal and anything over 8M+, I believe it to be a bad move.

Please feel free to sign this time bomb:D

I think Ellsbury has tons of potential. The only deal I even considered him in was the one for Hanley. Outside of Hanley, I'd rather see the team keep him. He had a decent season last year, considering it was his first in the Majors. I think some on here had higher expectations for him after his late 07 run. And that's why it seems he has a down year. I see Ellsbury developing some power once he grows into his body some. I think he has the potential to be a Damon/Beltran type player(ceiling) offensivley. Throw in his Defense, and he has the chance of being a top CF in the league.

He's the face of the franchise until the $ he makes is too much for Philly want to dish out. The he will be playing elsewhere, by trade or FA.
-
Just because he is a fit, doesn't mean they have to sign him. Most teams don't have the luxury of signing someone just because they are a fit without considering how much it will cost finacially. They want him, but not at the price he wants. They want him at or close to there offering price or they will let someone else sign him. Maybe Boras is hoping the Mets use the Yankee approach to FA. Offer Lowe a contract, one that is bigger then any other offers reported, and then come in and throw an extra 20M on the deal to lock it up;)
-
Yes when I was writing it I had some concerns he might have "big man" problems later on. He looks like a DH in the making to be honest. But that might help him pro long his career as well.

I know retirement washes away the compensation pick. But what about joinging mid season?

Nice Jacko. I had forgotten about half of those guys.

You raise a fair point.:thumbsup:
-
They could wait until the end of ST, let Lowell prove he can play and then send him along with Dice-K and maybe Bard or a OF prospect. But like I said this is only on the assumption they could trade for a SP to replace Dice-K. Then possibly put together a 4-6 player package and bring in Webb/Montero, or maybe Felix/Clement..... Again this is just outside the box thinking at work.
-
I have no issues with doing that either. This was more of a different approach. Am I the only one that is worried somewhat about Dice-K's shoulder. Better yet his reliability going further? I think some on here would agree, he did appear to have some sort of issue. If the Sox know of a potential issue, add the fact he is pitching in the WBC(by the way I love the concept, but absolutely hate the timing of the whole thing, but I don't have a better idea), wouldn't it be prudent of them to capitalize on his value as it stands? This is assuming there is cause for concern with hos shoulder or whatever.
-
Listen I really like Dice-K and think he is a quality pitcher. But let's not blow smoke too far up his backside. He has great stuff. But being the power nibbler he is, if he doesn't change his approach he will always be a 6IP. Now if his name wasn't Dice-K, or he didn't pitch for the Red Sox and you heard you could trade a #3 SP(Lester is #2 on this staff. Dice-K breaks up the power styles of Beckett and Lester nicely, so this is why I think he is hgher in the rotation, but this is just personal opinion at this point:D) for one of the Majors best 3B or SS . And you could presumably replace the exiting SP with another SP of the same caliber, you wouldn't?
-
I still like the idea of Dice-K+1 to NYM for one of (in order of preference) Wright, Reyes, Beltran Then they could turn around offer a package for Peavy to replace Dice-K in the rotation. Or some other SP that could be available, I've read here and there about if Webb can't be extended at AZ's price, that maybe he could becomes available.
-
Anyone think Howard could become available? (just thinking of new names) Philly has a new GM, and Howard is due another huge raise in arbitration.:dunno:
-
Didn't know which thread to put this in so I'll throw it in here. I mentioned Andruw Jones a couple days ago as a possible 4th OF and RH bat off the bench. Not sure he would like that role, but anyways. The Dodgers just reworked his deal and now it's only 5M this season. He is going to be traded or released by the beginning of ST. Is he worth taking a shot on, if he will except a 4th OF role(4th OF role for the Sox could end up with a decent amount of AB's)?
-
I'm not to high on the Berkman idea after giving it some thought. Maybe if he was a few years younger. If there going to trade for an impact player, it has to be someone young and entering there prime. Pujols is about the oldest player I would trade serious high end prospects for.
