    Bucholz and Dice-K are much more of a "sure thing" than Joba and Hughes. You're entitled to your opinion, but it's obviously biased and incorrect.

    Still, you shouldn't assume Kotchman will be the starting 1B.

    I approve of this post. Not to mention the potential for the best defensive squads i have ever seen the Red Sox trot out there.

    What about this one? I firmly believe if ORS deserves a vacation, so do you. And maybe a longer one.

    Refer to my last post on the Yankees offseason thread.

    This is a very fair and sensible position. Kudos BSN.

    I don't believe he will. In all seriousness, i believe OP meant .350 at Fenway, which is much more feasible, but still unlikely. Over a full season, i highly, highly doubt it.

    Hanley seems like a much more difficult proposition than any of the other two names being thrown around here. You might like him, but Florida has given no indication whatsoever that they desire to trade him. I would avoid LaRoche at all costs. He limits the potential for awesome exponentially. Holliday and Bay would both seem like pipe dreams after signing Lackey, but since Bay's agent shot himself in the foot, and the Yankees are going to sign Johnson giving them no space for either on their roster, i don't see it as completely impossible.

    I really don't believe that's an accurate reflection of his fielding abilities.

    V-Mart doesn't get as much attention because of his defensive struggles. As for Mauer, i spoke of a 20 mill AAV because of what would be the incremental nature of the contract, i believe the deal would be structured in a way where he would begin with a salary around the 18 million dollar range and end around the 23 million dollar range.

    20 AAV/7 years gets it done IMO.

    The bolded part answers your own question. With the franchise's current economic state, a package enticing enough might get them to bite on an offer for Cabrera. As for the dismissive and confrontational nature of your post, i would suggest to sticking to explaining the logic behind your statements, and acting like a grown up, which you claim to be. Final thought on the subject.

    You really think they don't? And if not, why?

    No new stadium, Santana is a pitcher. It's not attendance, a new ballpark massively increases revenue streams due to marketing deals, advertisement opportunities, etc etc etc. They could avoid that altogether by keeping both. Well Pohlad Sr is dead, for one, also, i firmly believe they'd rather hang onto Morneau, not to mention that a package of Bucholz, Anderson and Kalish probably doesn't get it done, i simply can't find a deal where both parties can meet the middle ground. Morneau has a reasonable contract, but not a bargain, so the leverage they have is minimal, but their valuing of Morneau isn't, if you think about it, they're better off keeping Mauer and Morneau, and i (this is personal opinion) firmly believe they'll have the payroll flexibility to pull it off once the new stadium opens.

    The problem is, that i believe they can afford both, for the following reasons: 1) He'll receive the same 14 million compensation from '10 to '14, which is quite reasonable given his production, and an amount they should be able to absorb, specially with no incremental value to it. 2) The new ballpark should allow them to raise their payroll to a much more respectable number. 3) The PR hit for getting rid of either of them would be enormous. 4) The main idea behind keeping Mauer is to field a competitive Twins team, and that would be greatly handicapped by dealing Morneau. In my opinion, all signs indicate to them being able to retain them both and actually doing it.
