    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?
  4. mvp 78
    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.
  12. mvp 78
    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.
  15. mvp 78
    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.
  17. mvp 78
    That's horrible logic. Ownership has money. They should spend it.
  18. mvp 78
    Oh, I'd agree with that. LL seems to be a slimeball or just loves throwing people under the bus. I'm all for him going elsewhere.

    Limited resources? This is the Boston Red Sox, not Kansas City Royals.

    They talk, it's just Ben doesn't want to say "I'd like to get pitching but ownership is too cheap to do so as they are butthurt over the Lackey and Crawford signings."
  23. mvp 78
    A700, people were freaking out and saying "the Sox are falling behind" 2 weeks into the offseason. It's just not a reasonable expectation to have major moves that early. It doesn't happen. Should he have had more done by Christmas, probably. However, what we are seeing this offseason is less a reflection of Ben being slow to move and more of a reflection of ownership being miserly. Letting Scutaro go because of $6M was dumb. Not signing a better SP just compounded the issue. Don't act like all this negative posting is soothsaying. We're still hearing garbage about Varitek and Wakefield, but those predictions haven't come true. Why not mention that? You're not going to because your whole internet gimmick is to constantly pat yourself on the back, but overlook the times you've been wrong. Everyone on here was in agreement about ownership needing to spend $$$ to get a decent SP. Clearly that didn't happen. Offseasons evolve and take time to develop. Expecting a full roster by Thanksgiving is beyond ridiculous. The only pitcher they lost out on was Buerhle at that point.

    Doubtful, I bet he wears Ortiz footie pj's to bed.
