yeszir, i would like to ask what exactly has been the problem with the last few pages of conversation. It's baseball talk, and no specific personal insults have been thrown around, so what exactly is the problem?

Here's the problem, champ. Theo tried that, but guess what? It takes two teams to make a trade, i've been the biggest proponent of A-Gon to the Sox since July, so don't come talking about like it's "Obviously your idea", but the fact is that Theo needs to keep his options open, and if he can't reel in A-Gon (and it looks like he can't), he'd be better off upgrading defensively. Or would you rather he got caught with his pants down like last year? I love how you say "Theo has to pick up the phone" like he can go to SD and tell Hoyer "I want A-Gon and that's that. Logic please. By the way, you were talking about Beltre's "lack of power", now you just changed your tune to "i never said Lowell was superior" but you sure implied it. Pick an argument and stick to it.

Nice underhand shot, man. -
The Angels, however, offered a convincing package to the Jays for Halladay, so it looks like they're willing too.

Billy Wagner had a 1.98 ERA and 1.09 WHIP during his time in Boston, he got hit in one game in the playoffs, but guess what? So did Papelbon, so what is your point? You need to go to an eye doctor. Beltre is the superior player. Only you and (lol) Doiji think otherwise. Close offensive production with potential for superior offensive production? Check. Vastly superior defense? Check. Age advantage? Check. Health advantage? Check. Hell, he'll be cheaper in the long run. The logic behind regarding Lowell as the superior player escapes me, so perhaps you could teach me about it with something other than your vastly subjective opinion.

My guess? 2/18, 12 million club option, 10 million player option, 2 million buyout.
-
After Figgins signed at 9 per for 4 years, there is no way in hell anyone is giving Beltre 4 years or more than 10 per. Boras is doing his usual bluff job.
-
This. If the Sox are not going to be able to significantly upgrade run production, then they need to upgrade run prevention and try to procure offense on/near last year's level. It's a no-brainer.
-
He was injured a lot of the time last year, playing only 117 games. He's a guy that averages nearly 150 games since coming to Seattle, and is almost 5 years younger than Lowell. I don't see it.
-
You're either really stupid or really dense. What does this have to do with my earlier comment?
-
Saunders is a #3 at his best, that is true. But again, Toronto has no leverage whatsoever. Aybar is a very good SS, Saunders is a decent pitcher, and Bourjos is an interesting prospect, i don't think anyone's beating that package for a season of Halladay.
-
Yet another person who doesn't take the time to check the stats. Jesus Christ. Take Adrian Beltre's .819 road OPS since 2007 and adjust it to Fenway. Please tell me how is that an offensive downgrade?
-
My eyes and defensive statistics say otherwise. I don't care about his batting average. Adrian Beltre hit 26, 25 and 25 homers with 39, 41 and 29 doubles in 2006, 07 and 08 before last year's testicle injury, please check the stats beforehand. He has more power than Lowell and is almost five years younger. I'll take what the stats and common sense tell me over your subjective opinion any day of the week. Beltre is an upgrade defensively, has the potential to be better offensively and is a hell of a lot younger, what in heaven's name are you talking about?
-

Aybar certainly fixes an issue with Toronto. They'd be wise to accept.
-
He certainly has options.

As usual, you're overlooking AND selling short the park factor. Beltre and your beloved lover have a similar OPS+ since Lowell came here and Beltre landed in Seattle. You can look for more tangents, but they really don't make for a strong case. Hmmm.....30-year-old healthy Beltre vs. 35-year-old hip surgery Lowell, i think Lowell's the biggest risk. This is another instance of you hyping against an important upgrade, specially on defense. Are you a Yankee fan? Yeah, age and the seriousness of the procedure certainly are of no importance in the matter, he'll recuperate his prime years range in no time. Beltre's "Major injury problem" was literally busting a nut. Jesus Christ. Please use logic.
