Maybe it's the Red Sox. Apparently Yankees wouldn't go past 6 and the 161 mil offered to CC. Sox interested in Downs, Balfour, Guerrier, and Feliciano. Sounds like they want to wait a bit after Benoit's huge deal.

I doubt that it happens, think signing Crawford is more likely (if anyone wants to make a small wager with me). If he does, though, the status of the picks might change if they alter the CBA next year.

Cameron is at least close to right. The 2010 Beltre was monstrous, and regardless of Youk's quality at third (which the writer underestimates), Youk is not as good as Beltre at third, and the same could be said of A-Gon and Youk at first. A-Gon's bat will probably end up being better, but it's not exactly clear-cut that a 2011 A-Gon is better than a 2010 Beltre. However, this is obviously not the relevant decision that the Sox had to make. A 2011 A-Gon will be better than a 2011 Beltre, given a lot of the luck that Beltre had in his 2010; and a 2011-2014 A-Gon will definitely be better than a 2011-2014 Beltre.

I think the talent will matter more than the price, for the Dodgers. They've seemed willing to spend thus far.

According to WEEI A-Gon's extension is 7 years, $154 mil (22 per year). http://fullcount.weei.com/sports/boston/baseball/red-sox/2010/12/06/source-gonzalez-red-sox-have-framework-for-seven-year-deal/

This is a horrible package. Arizona's GM is awful. He gave up two excellent players in Dan Haren and Mark Reynolds for peanuts. Wish the Sox had cashed in on one of those.

I wonder if Colby Rasmus is still available. He'd cost a lot less in prospects than Upton, and he's not a bad player either. Sox system is a bit depleted, though. And it wouldn't make a lot of sense for the Cardinals to drop him given their poor OF depth, regardless of what Tony La Russa thinks about Rasmus' "toughness" and "scrapiness".

Jayson Werth or Carl Crawford or neither? (2)
Will617 replied to example1's topic in Boston Red Sox Talk
Werth's offer was so ridiculous that Boras didn't even bother asking other teams if they wanted to match. You can't blame the Sox for not seeing that coming, because no one really did. Just because Werth got a massive contract, does not mean that he deserved it, and it certainly doesn't mean the Sox could/should have predicted it and signed Holliday last season. -
Great job, Theo. Now go get Bobby Jenks!!!!! And others.

Not for me, I've always been optimistic that the Sox can pull through. :thumbsup:

Spoken like a true fair-weather Red Sox fan. I'm really starting to think that you're a Yankees fan, and you're just here to troll.

I thought the Red Sox bought the tickets back through an intermediary, or something? I never thought much of the sell-out streak anyway. It's just one of those stories that sound cool, but doesn't ultimately mean much at the end of the day. Like how Kalish never swung-and-missed a pitch senior year; cool story, but it doesn't necessarily translate into production.

The twitter link on that page says "that page doesn't exist". http://twitter.com/Ken_Rosenthal/status/11534692721364992 Edit: Ah I see, they posted it incorrectly on MLBtraderumors.

Will617 replied to example1's topic in Boston Red Sox Talk
Werth's had wOBAs the last four years of .385, .382, .382, .397. While the last year is certainly a spike, that's not to say that Werth has been horrible the previous few years. Meanwhile, Crawford's best wOBA is .378, and it came last season. -
Well, on behalf of Theo I apologize that he didn't immediately offer an 8 year/$240 million deal so it got done immediately. I am sure that you have an excellent contract proposal that none of the front office had thought of, and yet won't send the Sox into financial ruin.
