    But they could have been a 4th place team if they just overpaid Paps. Maybe even got to 75 wins!
  2. mvp 78
    Clearly not a single team wanted Haren for what the Angels asked for aside from the Cubs. If people want to bag on Ben, might as well bag on EVERY GM in MLB too... To call it an epic fail and to get so upset over it seems silly to me. If the Sox were one piece away, it'd make sense. They aren't. I still think they need a youth movement and to aim for a WS in 2015. 85 wins in 13, 90 wins in 14, 95 and a title in 15. That's what I'd shoot for.

    Like a bad back and diminished velocity? I like Haren, but getting him for only 1 year and giving up something in the process seems like a waste to me.
  4. mvp 78
    Need 2 SP's, at least 1 top tier RP, C, SS, RF, LF, 1b and a better bench to compete for a WS. Remember, this team has missed the playoffs for a few years now.
  5. mvp 78
    To compete in 2013, they need more than "a couple of moves." They only won 69 games last year...
  6. mvp 78
    Why give up Bard when you can get Haren on a longer term deal in FA? Haren would be nice, but I don't see this team competing for a WS for a few years. At the point, Haren will be nothing more than a back of the rotation guy.

    If Ben did swoop, half of you would just give credit to LL and Dracula anyway.
  8. mvp 78
    It's on espn.com now. Deal is done.
  9. mvp 78
    @jonahkeri: Haren year-by-year fastball velocity, starting in 2007: 91.7, 91.1, 90.6, 90.6, 90.0, 88.5 http://t.co/Q2gf5CEK

    And you can stick with the assertion that those two meaningless stories make up the worst year the media has ever had in Boston.
  11. mvp 78
    So Clay didn't go to Foxwoods and Lackey wasn't drinking?
  12. mvp 78
    What were the fabricated stories again? All the "tabloid" type stuff turned out to be true.
  13. mvp 78
    Wow, that was even shorter than SCM's sabbatical. Can't say I'm surprised though.
  14. mvp 78
    Hey, if you write something we don't agree with, you'll get blacklisted... Now THAT would be a p.r. nightmare. If you're worried about a player's reaction to the media, he shouldn't play here.
  15. mvp 78
    Tell him not to read the paper? If the Sox did go to the media like that, it'd be a huge story and CHB would have a field day.
  16. mvp 78
    He was great in 08. Otherwise, he's been up, down and all over the place. He'd drive Sox fans insane. My guess is the Angels are shedding payroll for Haren and Greinke.
  17. mvp 78
    I don't want Broxton ever closing for the Sox.
  18. mvp 78
    Greinke is looking for the highest contract ever for a RH pitcher. No thanks...
  19. mvp 78
    Sorry, but it's not going to happen. At least you can still have Diddy Riese over there.
  20. mvp 78
    Averages 20 HR, 75RBI and .875 OPS, is a GG 1b and can play 3b, but is ridiculously overpaid? Yeah, ok.
  21. mvp 78
    If they aren't primed for a WS in 2013 (they aren't), might as well develop the young guys. I don't think they'll go down this road for fear of NESN ratings, but that's what I'd do.
  22. mvp 78
    Any of ARod's deals...
  23. mvp 78
    You still haven't explained how it was ridiculously big.
  24. mvp 78
    Ells/Brentz/JBJ
  25. mvp 78
    Last year's third place finisher signed a 5yr/$65M deal. Is he overpaid too?
