  1. I'd still like to bring back Green. I think that for the money you could do a lot worse, and he didn't embarrass himself at SS last year.
  2. The idea of trading Ellsbury because we have Cameron will not look so good in 3 years.
  3. And another: http://hfboards.com/showpost.php?p=22667131&postcount=72
  4. Borrowing a post from HFBoards because it says it better than I can. http://hfboards.com/showpost.php?p=22666010&postcount=57 That's fairly consistent with the idea that they're bringing Rask along gently, and are playing the veteran in all the tough games.
  5. You realize that allowing 2 goals in a game is actually an excellent performance. I'm not sure we should be blaming Thomas for the fact that this team can't freaking score.
  6. I'm not sure you really need pitching prospects with Kelly's potential filtering through on a constant basis, especially right now for us, where we don't actually have room to play them. Unless we don't bring Beckett back there's just not a lot of places for people to play. By the way, how does the trade equation change if we throw in Luis Exposito instead of Ryan Westmoreland? Last time I checked, the Padres didn't have much of a catcher. I mean, Hundley's OK, but he's replaceable, and we can deal with missing Expo probably better than we can deal with losing RWML or Casey Kelly.
  7. I'm not against trading Buchholz for Gonzalez, and I've said so in this thread. My point is that using Chapman's potential signing as justification is bunk because it's irrelevant. You could have him anyway, and in fact it would probably be a good idea to ink him with or without Buchholz.
  8. Of course they could just sign Chapman anyway and make a sickly deep farm system even deeper.
  9. And Tim Wakefield (10-4) is better than A. J. Burnett (13-9) Yup.
  10. No interest at all in Beltre. The only reason to dump Lowell is if you get an actual better player, and Beltre isn't a lock for that by any means.
  11. Lowell. Is. Still. Here. Right now we don't have a hole at corner IF, and have no place to put Beltre, Johnson or Gonzalez. Now if Lowell goes on the 60 day DL with that thumb of his, or we dump him and eat the money, that's another question, but until we do, Lowell is a Red Sox.
  12. The way I envision Cameron's role, is not as a platoon LF. That WOULD be ridiculous. I see him as a platoon for LF, RF, and CF as needed, since we have LHH's in all three positions. Now most of the time he'd be replacing in LF, because Hermida's our weakest link right now, but that could change, and I think we'll see Cameron pretty much everywhere he can play next year -- including DH for that matter.
  13. We don't have Max Ramirez. That trade looks like it's gonna fall through.
  14. Fair enough.
  15. Actually "this type of financial might" happens pretty much all the time. But most of the teams capable of it aren't compering directly with the $250M/year monster for a playoff spot. If we were in any other division, we'd have exactly the lack of excuse you want to accuse us of, but all the financial might in the world isn't important if your biggest competitor is even mightier.
  16. You just called me old. I might have to kill you now.
  17. He.... looks different..... without the cap.... The uh, yellow teeth kinda... set things off nicely.
  18. That's a pretty serious thing to accuse a pro athlete of, especially a guy like Lowell Frankly, you can impugn Lowell's ability, with all his injury problems, but his level of effort has never been questionable.
  19. That's all the more reason to hold onto Buchholz.
  20. Consider that instead of a true platoon, we might have a 4 starting outfielders scenario. Cameron plays for whoever Tito wants to sit that day in a flexible but regular rotation Since Cameron plays well in CF and LF and can at least fake it in RF, unless Hermida is totally worthless, that's a way to make sure everyone rests regularly
  21. Roght now we have three lefthanded outfielders and are looking at Cameron, a righthander who can play 3 outfield positions. I see the logic here.
  22. Whichever of Miguel Cabrera and Adrian Gonzalez comes for the last value in prospects is the one we should get.
  23. Man, this flu stuff is bad. news. It's all over these days.
