    I think that's the best scenario for lot of sox fans. I have more thoughts on this. Yankee FO kinda took a slap in the face with A-Rod fiasco. Best way for Cashman to get the fans excited is to 'pull a damon' which means steal the Yankee farm boy Lowell from their AL east rival - whatever it takes. Another part of the argument is the apathy some sox fans have with A-Rod because of some history. Have you guys watched last night's game where Laker fans booed Kobe and then cheered him when he scored 45 points? A-Rod can turn that around quicker if he hits a home run in his first at bat as Sox.

    For some reason - I think we have a better chance of signing A-Rod than Lowell. Lowell's value is as high now as it could ever be - and the Yankees will do anything to take him out from Red Sox radar. From my experience with the Sox FO - they will not overpay for anyone - and they have been right so far(Pedro, Damon) etc. I will be sick if we get neither of them.

    Still better than Igawa and Carla from last year's opening day. What was Cashman thinking?
  6. das11209
    I would vote for nowhere.

    What happened to Tampa?
  8. das11209
    This is the first time I heard A-Rod and Torre were close. What next - A-Rod and Jeter were going to strip-club together?

    This might sound crazy - but has anyone considered Matt Clement in a 'try and buy' one year ala Kevin Milwood? Just wondering - he should be ready barring any more injuries. Edit - I read that post and it sounds weirder than 'bring back Hinske'.

    OK - my feeling is that A-Rod cares more about breaking Barry Bonds record than getting a world series ring. From that point - LAD, DET, NYM, FLM should not be his favourite. CHC may not work out for the ownership issue. He may not want to start another soap opera by going to Red Sox. I just see Angels/SFG as favourites in both leagues.

    I am sorry - but I could only read till 'resign Eric Hinske'.

    Thats why I don't like Santana - we will have to give up too much. Let the Yankees have him for Cano, Wang and Hughes.
  15. das11209
    I am OK with Coco and Lester - no way I give up Buccholz. Now - if they give us Mauer - that's another story.

    Cubs will be candidate # 1 if the A-Rod is interested in ownership. An article in Wall Street Journal backpage today talks about how easy it is for a ball club( like Cubs) to pay A-Rod 300 million in terms of equities and not cash.
  17. das11209
    The only problem with the Cubs is noone knows when the ownership issue will be resolved - might not be by next year's spring training.

    A better assesment with odds: http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2007/writers/jon_heyman/10/30/arod.options/index.html?eref=T1 LAAA - 4-1 Boston - 6-1 San Fran - 7-1 LAD - 8-1 NYM - 10-1 CHC - 20-1 NYY - 25-1 PHILLY 30-1 REST OF FIELD - 6-1 I like it - but Boston ranks too high. I think he pissed of lot of people with the bad timing of opt-out that may or may not impact the business decision.

    The Dodgers are a funny team. After filling up with all Red Sox veteran players/coaches(Lowe, Nomar, Muller, Little) - they are gonna have the Yankees now. Let's see if Mo/Posada/Pettitte follows their coaches.
  20. das11209
    Let us talk about a scenario if we do not get Lowell or A-Rod. For example A-Rod signs with the cubs and Yankees offer Lowell 52 million for 3 years and he leaves. Our options will be : 1. Move Youk to 3rd and sign Adum Dunn. 2. Trade for Miggy Cabrera. 3. Anything else?
  21. das11209
    On the positive side - there will probably be enough parking for Monday night's football and less traffic in Denver downtown.

    I am fine with Wake - it is the Belli part that I hate. Can Kottaras catch knuckleball?
  23. das11209
    Agreed - I am posting more than I should - but it is a special day. On the grand schema of things - do you think there is any point in any thread here? Does anyone (player/FO) ever take a look at what we think and act accordingly?
  24. das11209
    I don't think he needs to be talking against his team - he should be proud what they have done. I just think he should be respectful to the team that just won - and not take lessions from Eric Byrns on how to talk to media.
  25. das11209
    Someone wake him up and tell him his team got swept in the world series.
