Good. Lester is 1 outing away from another 200IP season. You don't know how valuable it is for starters to do that. Last year just 31 starter did it. So about 1 average starter per club.
Red Sox need to keep an eye on Homer Bailey after next season.
Peralta getting busted will make teams stay away. Melky market collapsed last winter after getting busted for PED.
Drew is the top SS FAand he has done what Boras wanted him to do to rebuild his value. I think he gets 2 year at or slightly more than what he makes this year.
Have you look at the Yankees SS situation? jeter is finish. They don't have anyone on their left infield as starter. A-rod is toast once he is suspended. Nunez is garbage and I don't think they like him much.
Make Drew a QO to get a pick.
Also the Yankees made Drew an offer last winter too. But he didn't want to backup Jeter.
Farrell likes to use Taz with runners on because it's hard to steal on Tazawa. And he does a good job with stranding runners as long as he isn't f***ing screwed with like Thursday with 2B vacated.
Middlebrook had a huge series. He has raised his average over .050 points since he turn, he's swinging a power bat and getting on with walks. Nice to see progress.
What? I don't see it. Tazawa is still their set up guy. What happen Thursday is entirely on Farrell and Thornton. Thornton has to be on the verge of getting DFA. Two lefties in the 9th and Farrell didn't use him.
