Mercy rule this s***
-
I get a good feeling about this one.
-
Ethier is team-controlled through 2012, one year in a contract, one in arbitration. I just meant, would it be possible to sign him from his last arbitration year, through to 2014/2015 at that cost? Edit: Based on his numbers, I don't think he'll be worth his contract. He has never been anything special defensively, and RF in Fenway will expose him. This team might be interested in him short term, but Kalish is the answer long term for this team.

Red Sox Confirm Weiland to Start Sunday
Palodios replied to SoxFanForsyth's topic in Boston Red Sox Talk
May he have a long and prosperous career. -
Very interesting. Would it be possible to get him for a 3/36 or 4/40 deal? What is his contract value looking like?
-
-
I was a little unclear there-- I knew he had the velocity. I was just surprised he's been throwing high 80s, low 90s.
-
You have to realize, we'd be trading John Lackey for him. This is a guy with elite RHH OF potential, that fills this team's needs, and who plays better at Fenway, and is already going to be a fit in this clubhouse.
-
-
What about a Lackey + cash for a Jason Bay trade? Bay has done poorly against righties... but look at Bay's stats against LHP this year-- .295 .405 .525 .930 I'm sure a change of scenary would do very good things for both of these players.

In the last two years, the Red Sox have gone through 14 different outfielders, because of injuries, time off, etc. What is wrong with giving Reddick a spot as the 3rd OF, and pushing him to 4th when Crawford comes back? You agree with me on Kalish needing time to marinate.

Why Brian Wilson?
-
Yeah, it does matter. Let me put this into perspective-- how would you feel if your first basemen was hitting .200 with 5 home runs? Pretty s*****, because that is such a deep position. RF is the same way right now, there are a lot of good players out there doing significantly better than Drew, and that gives a lot more options for the Red Sox to try to trade for.
-
You cannot argue with 7 innings of 3 run ball from Wakefield, especially after what happened the last two days.
-
Remember when the sabermetric geniuses were telling us how bad Ellsbury's defense was?
-
ELLSBURY!
-
Weird.
-
I figured. We do disagree Let's see what the Mets do with them at the TDL
-
Is Drew recognized nationally as a good player? I just figured if his production was quiet here, I certainly don't think many fans would be showing up in droves to see JD Drew play. Hell, he goes undrafted in quite a few fantasy leagues. I also think there are considerable concerns about Ortiz at 1B, not just defensively, but whether he'll be able to stay healthy while playing the field consistently for the first time in a decade-- and if he'll be able to hit at the same time. I guess we disagree on this, but I think that the Mets will be able to get considerably more than Reddick/Lowrie for Beltran/Reyes... not necessarily because the players involved aren't good, but because Ortiz loses significant value if you're really asking him to play 1B.
-
Hopefully it is a short stay, and this turns out to be a good timing. With the ASB, he'll only miss one or two starts.
-
I haven't heard of any recent prospects in the Red Sox system with a knuckleball, and I'm usually pretty up to date with AA/AAA players, so unless there is one hiding in single A, I do not think there is any. Generally, knuckleballers are incredibly rare, and I think the only other knuckleballer in the major leagues right now is R.A. Dickey, not sure about other team's minor leagues though. Edit: Charlie Zink played for the Sox in 2008, forgot about him. He's in the indy leagues now though.
-
In a Papi/Lowrie/Reddick/Drew for Beltran/Reyes deal, no team wins. Papi does zero good at Citi Field as a PH. The Sox lose two good prospects and pay a significant amount of money (likely 8-14 million+) for two rentals--whose production probably will only barely replace Ortiz-- and the Mets completely lose their fanbase. Why not just buy Beltran and be done with it?
-
Why would the Mets want any of those players
