I want a SS like Young.
-
I like Lackey, but Harden is younger, has had a better (albeit shorter) career and has far better stuff. If the Sox think he can stay healthy, get him.
-
I'm not sure giving Ells a day off when Youk is on a suspension and Tek/Green are in the lineup, especially considering that we are facing Millwood.
-
I'd wet myself if we got Harden or Lackey. If I were Theo, I'd go hard after Harden. The kid has ridiculous stuff.

Tazawa up; Traber down; Woodward claimed; Smoltz DFA'd

Not just that, but they were fine with just eating Lowell's contract if necessary since they pursued Adrian Gonzalez. They have the money, it's just a matter of whether or not they want to spend it.

To be fair, the Yankees have still dominated in the regular season, they have just come up on the wrong side during the playoffs. I'm not sure if you knew this, but luck plays a HUGE part in short baseball series. Their payroll wasn't the problem, it was that their pitching just wasn't quite good enough. Looks like they have fixed that.

Guzman is 31 years old and is an above average offensive SS who has been especially good the last 3 seasons. How is that untradeable? Yes, we might have had to eat a bit of his contract, but that is still better than Gonzalez. Also, Guzman isn't the only guy we could have had instead of Gonzalez. He certainly isn't my favorite target.

Here's also a food for thought, in 04, 07, and 08 (when we would have easily won the WS if we were healthy) the Sox had their 3 highest ever payrolls ($127+ million, $143+ million, and $133+ million). The Sox failed in '03 so they went out and spent money ($29 million/year) to get them the championship in 04. Same thing happened after '06 ($23 million/year). Don't tell me that simply "saving" money is what got the Sox their championships. They realized they needed to go out and spend for talent and they did.

WTF is with these damned lineups. They need to bench Tek already. Ells should be in CF, V-mart behind the plate, and Kotch at first. How the hell does Tito expect this lineup to score off of Millwood? Is he high?
-
$8 million is really going to hinder our offseason moves? Really?
-
Why would Guzman get in the way of acquiring a future SS?

Have we not had major problems (revolving door) at SS since 2004? Of course we weren't looking to upgrade SS before the trading deadline; Green is soo good he is a career minor leaguer and Lowrie has shown us soo much and is an iron horse... Theo needed to make more moves before the trading deadline. He didn't and we are now getting screwed. Also, Now wouldn't have been a bad time to have Lugo around. As much as it is a pain watching him field, I think I would rather have him as a backup at this point than Gonzalez.
-
He was traded to Min, he was available and we obviously weren't interested enough. If Cleveland is in rebuilding mode and sticking with Cabrera, why would they need to keep Peralta? Arizona isn't going anywhere, I'm sure they would at least listen to offers. Same with Andrus. Way better than Gonzalez right now. Again, better than Gonzalez with huge upside. His value is likely also down because of the slump.

2009: Gonzalez: 2.0 UZR (fielding runs above average), -7 RAR, -.7 WAR Guzman: -5.2 UZR, 13.1 RAR, 1.3 WAR Green: 3.3 UZR, 5.7 RAR, 0.6 WAR So this year, even though Guzman is the worst fielder of the bunch, his bat equates to the most wins.

Stupid. They should have gotten Cabrera while he was available. It was known that Toronto wanted to get rid of Scutaro. This has to be the worst option possible. .258 OBP this season, and that is supposed to be an upgrade or depth how? Gonzalez is one of the worse overall SS in baseball right now.

Month of June: .320, .409, .653, 1.062 Last year: .264, .369, .507, .877 It's David Ortiz. You have to give him time to try to work out of his recent slump. When he gets going, he is lethal. Do you guys have that short a memory?
