Older players that signed elsewhere:
Damon
Pedro
Lowe
Manny (forced his way out of town)
Youk
The only people who are missed are short term rentals like Beltre and VMart. This team typically knows when to cut bait with a player.
Rich Porcello's grandfather was Sam Dente. The epitome of journeyman. He did get an MVP vote one year for some unknown reason. I'm sure one of the silverbacks in here may remember him.
Please don't say "u." It's ambiguous as you use it for both "you" and "User Name?" It makes your post read as if you are saying I always suck dudes asses (which is fairly homophobic imo). It's not appreciated.
I would have signed Lester last offseason. Shields is ok for 3 years, but he wants more. I'd offer 3/70 and move on if he doesn't take it.
I would have Cecchini at 3b. Outfield would be SV/Mookie/Castillo.
I don't agree with FO 100%. Just in this offseason, I think the Ramirez and Pablo signings are dumb and they need to trade for a Jordan Zimmerman type.
Fact: you will be miserable about any FO move unless they are building a super team like in 2011. How'd that work out?
"I'm just greedy" = I'm going to bitch about everything until they blow up their checkbooks like those perennial WS winners the Dodgers.
And complaing about their 12th - 15th pitcher is a little unnecessary. You can't say "every player doesn't need to be an all star" in one post, then complain about the 25th guy on the roster in the next.
I don't like Mujica as a backup plan. My guess is they could insert one of their live arms in the minors to be closer for a little bit if they needed to.
But but but "let's wait and see" isn't a hot take! We need to yell about something because they were bad last year and the FO sucks and the pitching is literally the worst ever in the MLB and ticket prices are going up and it's all about NESN ratings and and and and... Huff huff huff...
