  1. I know you are a yankee fan and all jacko but unfortunately this is how I feel. When the offseason started I said that we needed not one but 2 solid arms. As u said, we are relying a lot on a bunch of underachieving AND injury prone arms. Aside Kelly, neither of them will be part of our core pitching staff going forward.
  2. I think Shields > Hamels. Plus he has pitched in the AL (even with those "friendly pitching environments") AND most important he only would cost money.
  3. He has a solid ERA pitching at BAL, TOR and TB, but when he pitched at BOS or NY he wasn't that good.
  4. If we do not sign him, I only hope that any team in the ALE does not.
  5. 75 M? If this is not the right price, then I do not know what it is.
  6. This. Not sure what the right price is. Lester at 120 M would have looked like the right price to me. Shields at 100 M isn't a bargain but fair enough for all parts. Some still saying that the Lester-Shields signing was a pipe dream. I do not get it. They were vey affordable even if it meant not signing Panda and/or HR.
  7. oh that. I meant coverage haha. Sometimes the auto correct doesn't work as I would wish... On the other hand, We also get it, you always will support whatever the FO makes, it is pretty clear.
  8. What words?
  9. If we had the coverage and quality at the pitching farm that TB used to run by Friedman in recent years I would have said oks to the "young controllable arms" strategy;... Since we are far to be in that position, that strategy wouldn't make sense right now. Also, you have money. Problem is that they have distributed it horrible. We have a very unbalanced team, and this pitching staff looks mediocre at best.
  10. I believe Jon here all the way. He said at the time as well that he would give to the Red Sox a "team discount" over and over and over again. Also, saying that they didn't want Lester from the beginning is absurd considering all the diligences they made, even JH himself tried to land him making a last offer in his house in Atlanta. It didn't work out. Let's face it, they shitted the bed big time. They simply misread his value with that ridiculous 70 M offer. They could have landed Jon at something around (120 M) easily. Yeah! He's all gone, unfortunately. I'm just pointing out what Lester himself said just after he signed with the Cubs since some people here doubt it. Now... We have a mediocre rotation going forward. Some people here have a lot of faith on this staff, and it is oks, and probably just a few here and a lot more outside, agree with me saying that this rotation is the worst in the last 10 Y entering into a season. Time will tell.
  11. http://nesn.com/2014/12/jon-lester-probably-would-have-accepted-120m-offer-from-red-sox-in-spring/ Jon Lester signed a six-year, $155 million contract with the Chicago Cubs last week. The Red Sox were the runners-up in the Lester free agency sweepstakes, but it’s possible Boston could have signed the left-hander to a contract extension last spring if it offered him something in the range of five years and $120 million. “That is one of those deals where hindsight is 20/20. You go back in time and you look at it and you go, ‘probably yes,’ ” Lester said Thursday on WEEI’s “Hot Stove Show.” “I mean, you don’t know. I mean, it is one of those deals where when it is sitting in front of you, that is a lot of money to turn down. That would have made it very difficult to turn it down.” Something around 120 M at the time would have made it done, no doubt.
  12. I'm just trying to be funny as well, why are you complaining? Could you stop being an *******?.
  13. I think Spud, Kim, sk and even Bell have disagreed at some extent with me in this topic but I have never ever attacked them at all. Never. The discussion always was about baseball. On the other hand these 2 idiots get irritated about this topic since well... They are FO suckers, and somehow they always take it personal when someone points out something that they do wrong like the Lester thing.
  14. The only conclusion here is that you and your homophobic bitch are *******s.
  15. There's a longer list Mike.
  16. I'm sorry for quoting this *******. I think this is why u read his/Her posts. It started at page 20. Of course he will never accept it, since he thinks he did not do anything wrong, as always. On the other hand when I call him out, he feels offended hahaha. Sorry for involve u and Fred and all the posters on this. These two morons do not worth it.
  17. Nope. It didn't started there Mike. I think you do not have the big picture.
  18. Nobody is playing victim role here. As I said, if you attack me, fine but at least act like a man.
  19. Yeah U? Attacked me and then I responded. Then somehow MVP showed up which is not big surprise to me. The rest is history.
  20. The old tired game is that you and your bitch are always involved in this kind of BS. You love it.
  21. I do not have nobody on ignore Mike, never have. I respect u as well, but sorry he started. I won't let things pass just like that. They are always involved in this kind of BS, and you know it.
  22. He even brought the Iguala thing to the table LOL!
  23. He is bitching just for the sake of bitch, it's his modus operandi around here.
  24. Homophobic? Wtf. He started it, but again u of course won't accept it.
