If the Sox get the same production out of every position they got last year (including bad CC, injured Youk, no RF) and only downgrade SS, wouldn't that still leave them towards the top of the league? I expect Salty, CC and Youk to be better this year. AGon should hit for more power. I expect Ortiz and Ells to take a step back. All in all, adding Iglesias won't kill the offense (which has been towards the top of the league since 03) and his glove will help get pitchers out of more jams with his slick fielding. Trading an offensive hit for an extra defensive out seems more like treading water than losing production.

A weird signing for a cash strapped team like the A's.

This has gotten a little play on sports radio here, but most Sox soccer fans already followed a team before NESN tried to shove tape delay Liverpool matches down our throats (not that NESN has better programming). The fact that this is even a minor distraction to Sox ownership is a little frustrating.

I'm sorry Fred, but I just read all 151 posts of his and there isn't one glimmer of being happy about something. When all he brings to the table is "this sucks, that guy is an *******, rumpswabs, tub thumpers, etc.," people won't give him the benefit of the doubt. It's not our job to follow every poster from board to board to learn their backstory. All we know is what we read here. If he wants to be taken seriously, he needs add something more to Talksox than he currently does.

I disagree, unless you're considering last season to be "recently." Remember how great those gamethreads were? It was a constant bitch fest with people posting crap like "eat a bag of dicks" and such.

The dysfunction: too many cooks.

Who has the time to post on multiple Sox boards? Are you people shut-ins?

Fred, can you explain the difference between unconditional release and just letting someone go to FA? Honest question. What's the point in "releasing" someone if they're going to be a FA anyway?
-
Exactly. And ownership's favorite fan are the ticket scalpers. Otherwise, they wouldn't be able to tout a sellout streak.

I agree with that. The Soxshould not function as a member of the Sister of the Poor. Are we talking about another $100M contract? Nope. A one year $10M deal isn't going to remotely kill their bottom line. Considering the sad 10-11 seasons, adding one more piece would have done a lot to generate goodwill with the fans.

Hostile? Never. There's no reason to be upset over a messageboard.

Most accountants now use neither paper nor pencil these days. I said good day...

How do they rank in tv revenues and ticket prices? Just as high. More of a reason to open the purse strings.

Your lack of originality is astounding. Good day, madame queen.

Well madame queen, my point of contention with Fred has alwaysbeen as follows: don't call lifelong Sox fans polyannas, when you didn't become a fan yourself until the rise of pink hat nation. If someone is a Sox fan in Antartica, good for them. It's probably harder to get NESN up there. Also, the last time I worse an ass as a hat, it was of a nice booty chick and completely delightful. I've also worn boobs as sunglasses. They really kept me from squinting!

How did you get that out of my post? Welcome to A700's world of make s*** up. Here's your crown queenie.

The bullpen is fine, especially if they get Oswalt and move Aceves back. Thry have a SS. It's not Scutaro, but they have enough bodies to plug in. Personally, I let Iglesias start and be happy with him hitting 225. And to your ongoing banter about Wake and Tek, it's really up to them to hang their boots up. It'd be disrespectful to have a Tek and Wake appreciation day before they've announced their retirements. It'd be a slap in the face. Should they be invited to ST? Only if it's not in a player capacity.
-
Why not? If it's on short term deals for Oswalt/Beltran/etc there's little harm in overspending. If it's on 4-5 year deals, no.
-
Also, if you need flexibility, why trade a cheap Lowrie? That part, I don't get. I think people would be more comfortable with a Lowrie/Aviles platoon than what they have now. This only works if Melancon is lights out and Bard transforms into a SP.
