  1. Yup. I am a bigly Nap fan but I see no clear need for him on this team.
  2. Great choice. A local guy with significant cred and experience.
  3. Is that 7 years at 22 mil total? If so, that is so much more palatable than someone like Castillo.
  4. I was just "over exaggerating" ( to borrow a local phrase ). I want good people on my team.
  5. This is a prime example of what I mentioned before. People seem to be in awe of what they just saw and hardly ever remember great things from way back. There is no comparison between these two. Regardless of generation.
  6. I knew that I liked you.
  7. I was kidding about choir boys. But I do want good citizens on my team. I don't care if they smoke weed or go out bar hopping. As long as it does not effect his play on the field or the team's success. No Wife beaters and no known cheaters.
  8. How do you know this? How can anyone, even a scout say this? He is already a better hitter and will improve. He is already a much better athlete and that is something Vazquez can never learn. I am not saying Swihart is the next Johnny Bench. But to say he will never be as good as another player is a stretch.
  9. No but 6/150 or so would be okay.
  10. 4/87 is not chump change. I'm with you. If you go big why stop short of the prize. Step up and pay EE. Or just offer Beltran a decent short term deal for now.
  11. So we now take on a known cheater and a guy with a huge character flaw? Not on my team. I want all choir boys thank you.
  12. No. Building a team that sustains success would have to come along with it. That is my opinion.
  13. I agree. Although I concede that I don't know all the ins and outs of arb, control and all that stuff. He should be the center piece of their marketing as well.
  14. Damn good post.
  15. But I wonder about all those old time GMs and the accumulation of their achievements. I don't know who they may be or what they did. But it seems we always glamorize what we most recently saw.
  16. No doubt that Taz looked like toast late in both of the past two seasons. Does that really indicate that he is of little or no value to the Sox going forward? I don't know. If so, let him walk. Otherwise, signing him may be in order.
  17. I suggested re-signing Both Koji and Taz a couple of months ago. Does anyone really think better arms are out there at lower cost? Maybe there are some. I'd rather go with the bird in the hand. As it were. So to speak.
  18. Lol. He has to be used somewhere. Until Kelly demonstrates consistency it will be difficult to envision him in a defined role.
  19. A spectacular season. I love this kid. Worth the price of admission. He is always making exciting plays. Is he Gold Glove worthy?
  20. I guess data proves that Salty is a better athlete than Swihart.
  21. I was not referring to minor league performance of either player. I am basing my opinion on having seen both play at MLB level only.
  22. Everyone seems to think Tek would be an obvious choice of a manager some day. All along I have thought that he is just not interested in being a manager. Good for him. I respect that if it is true. I'm happy that he spends some time with catchers and particular young players.
  23. I just saw that EE is looking for a 5/125 deal. I think that he will get it. But not in Boston. Too bad.
