    Another year, another blind third base coach.

    I do not think Lester is comparable to Ellsbury. Lester wants to be here and is willing to talk about a long term extension before free agency, while Ellsbury clearly wanted the biggest offer, and needed to hear all of those offers before deciding. Lester has performed consistently, and he has been healthy -- Ellsbury has not. The Red Sox believed they had a viable replacement in Bradley, while you really cannot replace a guy like Lester. If the Red Sox signed Ellsbury after 2013, they would not have had flexibility to make other signings. In 2014, there will be plenty of payroll available for Lester. 100 million for Lester is much more reasonable for all those factors than Ellsbury at 150.

    There is a big difference in paying a guy to 37 than to 42. The Red Sox will have money to spend and Lester is the best fit of any free agent. Unless they want to sign their entire farm system to long term deals, they can fit Lester into their budget.

    Lester has commented on the 70 million offer, and basically says he could still make it back to Boston anyway. I bet if the Red Sox pump it to 100 million he'll take it -- but it sounds like they're being extremely cheap.
  5. Palodios
    The offer to Lester was 70-80 million at 4 years. Uhoh.

    I have seen conflicting sources on this. Soxprospects has 1 option on Nava's list, but I do not think that is correct.
  7. Palodios
    This is what happens when you send the guy who pitched the 8th inning in the World Series to Pawtucket.
  8. Palodios
    Craig Breslow? Andrew Miller? Capuano? Badenhop? Why go with the team's last option?
  9. Palodios
    Woah woah woah, where is Koji?

    Red Sox catchers cannot catch strike three calls for their lives. Every game I've watched, they've dropped multiple. Also, Yankee players don't seem to run to 1st base after strike 3 calls.

    We didn't expect much from him, but I get the feeling this team knew very well about his health and performance. I was surprised he ended up with a major league contract, and such high bonus potential.
  12. Palodios
    All offseason, I've been setting expectations low, and telling myself that Sizemore isn't ever going to be the same again, and even if he performs for a time, his health will get in the way. He sure is trying to prove that wrong though.
  13. Palodios
    Sizemore, welcome to Yankee Stadium.
  14. Palodios
    This has to happen. It just makes so much sense. Somewhere between 5/100 and 6/120 is a pretty acceptable compromise for both sides. With the Red Sox losing Lackey's salary, Peavy's salary, and Dempster's salary in 2015, there is plenty of pitcher money on the table. Unless they take a huge gamble with guys like Scherzer or Shields at monster contracts, Lester is their play. My guess is that the Red Sox wanted to see Lester's numbers to be around 2013 levels and not 2012 levels -- and they will pick this back up around the All-Star break.
  15. Palodios
    Fortunately, if it is something the Red Sox are looking for at the trade deadline, SB are much cheaper than HR.
  16. Palodios
    It isn't just the basepaths. The Red Sox outfield defense has looked pretty abysmal so far this season. Whoever thought Nava is a serviceable right fielder needs to be suspended from the team.
  17. Palodios
    Stephen Drew would be a luxury. But when you're 25 million under the luxury tax, why not add more depth?
  18. Palodios
    By then, someone else will be hurt. Depth always evens itself out.
  19. Palodios
    Well this games suckholzes.
  20. Palodios
    2014 IS a bridge year. They let go several good players, didn't replace them, and have been letting a pile of young players take those spots. There is going to be development time here.
  21. Palodios
    Six no hit innings by Owens... I see a few others pointed it out, but this guy has been, and continues to be untouchable in the minors. He'll force his way to the majors soon enough.
  22. Palodios
    I'm not heading into Fenway to watch the game -- I live nearby and want a drink:D
  23. Palodios
    Anyone think the Fenway bars are going to be packed tonight? I generally avoid the area during Yankee games.
  24. Palodios
    The Red Sox need to get into that Yankee bullpen early and often this series. Their closer tonight might end up being Matt Thornton, a guy who wasn't worthy of the Red Sox's playoff push.
  25. Palodios
    For all those number crunchers who may be interested, Cots Contracts was recently updated. Hooray!
