Mcdonald is fine against lefties, but they're smart enough to use him as a platoon unless they're desperate. And who's to say that Nava can't keep it up? He's hit above .300 with .900+OPS every time he's had a full season anywhere, and he starting off hitting .294 with .856 in AAA this year. I have as much faith in him as any four star prospect. They can last until Ellsbury gets back, Dejesus isn't enough of an improvement to warrant the prospects.

Jimenez has homefield advantage, and despite playing an AL team, Lackey won't help the team as much as Youk would. They need to grind it out and take pitches to win this one.

Let me get in touch with my friend. She was looking for a good league a while back.

I'd be happy keeping Beltre around. Players tend to have a soft spot for teams that helped give them a comeback, and his defense will only stabilize with another year here. The LF problem is probably going to linger till the end of the season. But the best candidates I can see are Dunn, Corey Hart, Jason Werth.

I don't think the Yankees believe Vasquez will be worth 12 million next year. He's almost 34, coming off a season with a rough start, and you never know how he'll pitch next year. Plus, he might prefer to take a one term contract in order for him to bring his value up before a long term contract.
-
Looks like a solid game thread to me. I'm going to make a bold prediction and say that the Sox will score between one and two runs on Jimenez who pitches seven innings. Beltre will get one of 5 Red Sox hits. Lackey will make Francona leave him in for 120 pitches, and he'll have a strong night, and make this a battle of the bullpens.
-
Good news. If he makes it to the professional level, that'd be impressive, and if in the slim chance he makes it to the majors after all, it will prove to me that God truly does hate the Yankees.

I get a funny feeling he might withdraw from that one.
-
Yeah, this one has gotten way out of hand. Its really a matter of who gets injured first now.

Well, last season it never seemed like the division was as strong as it was this year. Every time the Rays got hot, the Sox got cold, and vice versa. I don't have stats to back it up, but its hard to argue that this division isn't a powerhouse right now. Even Toronto is 4.5 games back from the wild card, and with their pitching and home run power, you never know. One sweep of the Yankees and they're right back in the race.
-
The Yankees have a win-it-all or else mentality. The division is too close for them to sit idly by while the Sox or Rays may make big trades. Lee may cost them prospects now, but he's going to cost them a first round pick later anyway.
-
But they have to deal with the possibility of Pettite retiring or growing ineffective, and Vasquez is at the end of his contract too. I don't know their farm system, but I doubt there are any "Yankee-calibur" replacements for them.

I'm surprised everyone has been thinking about the Mariners suggestion. But if they trade Doubront/Bowden/Dice-k, it cleans up the congestion for the 5th pitching slot, the Mariners get 3 starters with potential (plus more, likely) and a Sox rotation of Lester, Lee, Buchholz, Beckett, Lackey is monstrous. When Cliff Lee was traded to the Mariners, it really sounded like he was tired of getting shipped around, so I'd bet he'd be easy to lock up if on a contending team. Another idea is trading Ellsbury in a big bat trade, and going all out for Crawford next year. Ellsbury is a great target for a team that wants to rebuild for next year. He's a good, cheap player who is under control for a while, so while he's valuable for the future, he's been a hassle for the Sox this season. Crawford fills all the needs that Ellsbury did, so they could use Ellsbury as a chip to pick up that key piece.
-
The Sox need a win here. With Cain, Lincecum, Jimenez and some other solid pitchers coming up (With no DH), a loss here could be the beginning of a losing streak.
-
You were right, good call.
-
Why did they drop Manuel? He's been lights out in AAA, and Richardson clearly needs more time.
-
The only real problem with Dice-k is his attitude problem. The Mariners could be an interesting target, the AL West would probably be better for him--and closer to home-- and Ichiro is probably the best player you could set him up with.

Talksox has been reallly quiet lately. Really quiet. echo?

Pena, Crawford and Soriano cost 27 million. That puts them at 43. I'm sure they'll figure something out.
-
Well, I tried to edit it out, but you caught it. Yankee fans will disappear during streaks, but negative Red Sox ones don't.
