Drabek was my neighbor last year here in Manchester, NH when he was playing for the Fishercats. Glad to see he him get pounded yesterday. Dude's a prick.

Thoughts on this? http://www.csnne.com/05/22/11/McAdam-I-think-weve-seen-the-last-of-Dic/landing_redsox.html?blockID=526919&feedID=3352

Indeed. @PadresLoyal -- I lived in San Diego for 13 years and have been to far more Padres games than Sox games. That's a great city you live in with a beautiful ballpark and good fans too. Good luck to your team this year!

Pedey grounded out.

If not now, when!? This is it.

Thank you Salty.

YOTN's thread-starting post should be printed and distributed to all the lockers in Cleveland tonight, both sides. Written in blood.

I loved this post. Thanks for putting it together.

This.

Hilarious!

Awfully late to the party. On a business trip to Texas, check my phone in the elevator, saw the news and actually out loud, said, "Ah yea, f*** the Yankees." People looked over at me and then immediately looked at their shoes. Probably from NY. Anyway you slice it, Sox have a POTENT lineup next year. Speed. Power. Stoked!

I like the sound of this. I remember reading that Beltran prefers Center, would play Right though if asked. Does that mean Drew would go to Left? Or would Beltran? Wouldn't want to make these millionaires upset now, would we?

With Agon now on board at 1B, Anybody think Josh Willingham is worth Lars and another mid level prospect? Nats are looking at 1B's. Just a thought...

I understand the logic of thinking that Crawford wants this kind of money, but everyone and their mother knows that the Werth deal was bat crazy, GM's and FO's included, just read the the responses on news sites by all the peeps across the industry that view this deal as a bit ridiculous. I'm not entirely convinced Crawford will all of the sudden get that kind of coin just because of the Werth deal. Sure, it might happen, but I'll believe it when I see it. The chance to land Crawford may be slowly slipping, but I doubt the Sox have simply given up on him because of the Werth deal. A lineup with Crawford in it, no matter if he's slotted at #6 or #3, will be SICK, period. That fact has not all of the sudden escaped Theo. a700 said it best: you can't replace two solid offensive players with one. Theo knows this, the money is available, I'm not throwing in the towel on Crawford just yet.

Good morning Talk Sox! And it *is* a good morning, huh? Anybody else exhausted a little from the drama yesterday? So, a couple of questions.... With the winter meetings kicking off today, a huge trade in the bag, and some coin still left in the purse, what, if anything, can we expect to see this week in terms of signings? Is it safe to say Crawford and (obviously) Lee are pipe dreams? Will our focus now turn to stabilizing the pen? Are there any bats left that you think Theo can (and will) pick up to help the 6-9 slots of the lineup? I'm sure Lee will be off the table sooner than later, not that he really is on the table for the Sox, anyhow. And now that Boras/Werth completely reset the FA market, I'm thinking Crawford stays put this week with all that leverage he's amassing. I am sure most of us think Theo is far from done. Wonder what he'll put on the stove this week, now that the main course has been served?
