    Don't need Tanaka. We won ghe WS without him!
  2. mvp 78
    The Rockies are looking to sign Ruiz to a multi-year deal.
  3. mvp 78
    What's his definition of "close?"
  4. mvp 78
    Salty represents better value than McCan. I haven't seen anywhere that says Salty would take a hometown discount, but it would be nice.
  5. mvp 78
    Salty has to be getting 3/27 at the least, ot he's either giving a massive hometown discount, or has a s***** agent. Reports were that he was upset with the FO over a lack of communication regarding his contract. As long as there is room to slide in one of the kids in 2015, I'm ok with resigning Salty for 3 years. 100 games in 2014, 100 games in 2015, 60 games and time at 1b in 2016?
  6. mvp 78
    He can probably only go 70 games at this point. The question is do they think Lavarnway should be given a shot, maybe Butler? Under Ross' tutelage, both could see defensive improvements in the coming season. Not sure Vasquez is ready to catch 100 games at the MLB level.
  7. mvp 78
    Stop making s*** up please. UN said over and over again that he was a great pick up and that he had ace potential. I can't find any post where I commented on him.
  8. mvp 78
    But his Mickey Mouse ears are hard to fit in a helmet.
  9. mvp 78
    Koji was a starter once. What if Tanaka is just destined to be an MLB reliever. Spending $100M on him would seem foolish to me. Most scouts see his ceiling as a #3, which means there's a lot of wiggle room to fall lower in the rotation and possibly out of it.
  10. mvp 78
    No, it has nothing to do with buying a newspaper.
  11. mvp 78
    @Sean_McAdam: Red Sox won't disclose much re: Napoli's exit physical, but source w/ knowledge of it reports hip now looks better than it did last winter.
  12. mvp 78
    I was told that ownership doesn't care about such things and has more money than they could possibly spend.
  13. mvp 78
    So you'd sign Ells for 7/140+ because JBJ isn't an all star on 4/1/14. Is that what you're saying?
  14. mvp 78
    Yeah, who has the cliff notes?
  15. mvp 78
    It took them 3 whole years to win another WS!!! LOL! What a joke franchise!

    "The deadline for teams to submit qualifying offers was 5 p.m. ET on Monday. The $14.1 million salary was determined by averaging the top 125 player salaries from the 2013 season -- the amount is the same regardless of the free agent. Each player has one week -- until 5 p.m. ET on Nov. 11 -- to accept the offer. If he accepts, the one-year deal is complete. If he rejects it, the team making the offer will receive a compensatory Draft pick between the first and second round (assuming the player signs elsewhere). All compensatory picks will be made between the first and second rounds, in reverse order of winning percentage." I had seen it written as Wednesday elsewhere, but this is from mlb.com.

    Should the Sox attempt to sign any of the following QO players: Choo, Beltran, Ervin Santana, Cruz, Jimenez, McCann, Morales, Kuroda, Cano, Granderson? I think Santana could be a decent signing, though he had a lot of ups and downs with LAA. Jimenez isn't a sure bet anymore. Not sure if I'd really want to use a 1st round pick on Beltran. Cruz is probably going to want too much $$$ and there are questions about how he'll perform without illicit substances. McCann is going to want way too much $$$ and I'd avoid.
  18. mvp 78
    How is that big news? It was a 100% certainty that he was getting a QO and would reject it soon after.
  19. mvp 78
    Players have until Wednesday to reject the QO. We'll see if Drew thinks he can get a long term deal.
  20. mvp 78
    The Sox moved on from Damon knowing that he wouldn't be able to continue in CF very long. They were right and won a WS without him in 07. Teix started out great, but the $'s and length of contract don't agree to his performance. Ignoring the end of a bad contract is what neutered the Yanks this year. Old players are more prone to injury and reduced production.
  21. mvp 78
    They had the 4th highest payroll in MLB and won a WS. Seems like they are spending enough to me.
  22. mvp 78
    I don't want ownership to spend money like a drunken sailor. I don't buy the "they have unlimited wealth and should spend all of it" gag.
  23. mvp 78
    We don't know how these entities are legally structured, so saying Tanaka's fee would offset NASCAR revenue is a little presumptuous.
  24. mvp 78
    John Henry probably couldn't give two shits about the tax implications of paying Tanaka. He's owning the team as an investment so that when he sells in 10 years, he'll triple the money he put in.
  25. mvp 78
    In retrospect, that Teixieracontract looks horrible. The Sox made the right decision on Damon as well.
