Soto re-signed with Texas. Yankees C situation could be a ? going into ST if the young guys are battling for the spot. But it could be fun to watch too.
-
I hope TB makes this trade. If they do they are less llikely to trade with KC, making Lester KC's best option.
-
Yes he's barely passable in CF in his first full season at the position after moving from not a COF spot, but catcher.
-
All the more reason to trade him for a top prospect and maybe try to re-sign him in two years if they are close to contention.
-
Right now he is the obvious choice. Lackey? No. Buchholz? Maybe. Doubront? hahaha you hate Doubront.
-
And from that list, please state the ones that are available. Fact of the matter is, there isn't any. Shields and Lester are about as close as it gets.
-
Washington and LAA sent a lot of pieces for their #1's but held on to their best prospect. Those two teams can also supplement those losses (prospect wise) with $. Something KC can not do. They need to trade as few prospects as possible. And when looking for a #1 that means having to use a big chip. Which Myers is.
-
Ok, Haren may very well end up being the better starter. But considering the politics, I can't see Farrell unseating Lester as the #1 opening day SP for Haren.
-
Because they are proven and on team friendly deals. Myers how ever great he may be is an unknown. And becomes more available then the others when the team searchers for a #1 SP so they can win now so to speak. KC is making a push now. And probably will have to sacrifice Myers to be able to keep the current core together. In a perfect world I'm sure KC would love to keep Myers.
-
I think people are underestimating Myers defense. He was a C two years ago. And has been able to hold his own in CF. Bryce Harper has done the same thing. Biggest difference there is Harper has a howitzer for an arm.
-
I like Haren, but #1? yeeeesh I'm not sure. If haren is on the team I think Farrell will make Lester head of the rotation. btw sorry if your list was not an indication of the order you would put them in.
-
Ok I can see your issue with all 3. To be honest if I had the choice it be Swisher and Napoli.
-
My advice, take that money and go balls out on some super big HD out the ying yang TV :thumbsup:
-
You want them to make moves, but not on these guys. Who exactly will you be happy with upon signing?
-
Of course, his name is not Paps and he doesn't river dance.... pffft can't believe you could even ask that...
-
Nothing better then an expensive elite closer on a s***** baseball team wooot :thumbsup:
-
Then what exactly is the team supposed to do? You've been banging the "make a move cherries" drum non stop. Those 3 players represent some of the best talent available. Or is Hamilton the only FA that can add to the aggregate?
-
Why is it so hard to believe that these are more pressing players that have to be dealt with now then the SP's they are going to be more likely to be signing this year? I think this shows they are obviously not in on Grienke and Sanchez. And the guys after that aren't signing until those guys sign. Should they go after the one years while everyone else pursues the offensive pieces just because they need pitching more?
-

I don't think they are going to expect big ticket sales. That's why I expect the payroll is going to be closer to 100M then 200M. When Myers(if a trade happens), Barnes, De le Rosa , Bogaerts are ready to join the ML team, interest will pick back up and the payroll will rise again to supplement the young core. Lester is no lock to sign another team friendly extension this off season. And I doubt if he pitches good this year he's going to bi-pass a shot at free agency that's only a season away. He will be 30 when his deal is up. And is he pitches decently the next two seasons he's getting CJ Wilson money minimum. If he pitches well, he cold be looking at CC, Hammels, Lee money. Another thought it who's to say the can't trade him, then when he's a free agent bring him back? Trade for Myers and build with the youngsters the next two years. Then when they are ready for their push they could always go out and sign him on the open market. Something they may very well have to do anyways. Just a thought.
-
That's just a fact of dealing with prospects. They are near sure things. But there are no sure things. I think Myers for Lester is a bold move. Similar to the Pineda for Montero deal(Pineda being less proven, but controlled for longer). Sometimes you have to take a shot at getting that possible future middle of the order bat that could anchor your lineup for 5-6 years at least. This could potentially be trading for Mike Stanton before he got to the MLB level. I'm willing to risk the chance he flames out for that.

Is Clay Buchholz on the verge of being a #1?
BSN07 replied to Lord Snow's topic in Boston Red Sox Talk
They've already said Ross was brought in as more then a back up C. I expect to see him in at least 50% of games this season. -
Ya that's what I figured. People think top 5 payroll means 160-170M. No, I would not give anything of note for a 38 year old knuckler. If any fan base understands the ebb and flow of a knuckler, the Red Sox do. No way is it smart to buy a Knuckler at his peak value. I think the mets are going to be overall disappointed in the offers that come along.
-
I'd like to see a list of projected payrolls for 2013. I'm betting if the Sox spend 120-130M next season in payroll, it might still be top 10 in the league.

He has the potential. I'd be happy if he established himself as a definitive #2.
