    Honestly, I don't see them making something remotely close to 20 M/Y when they hit the FA (these days money value; Net Future Value) I'm just asking for 2 solid/proven arms followed by 3/4 tier pitchers and a couple of prospects in your depth side. Is it too much to ask for a team which has one of the highest payrolls in baseball? Haha
  2. iortiz
    Crazy huh!
  3. iortiz
    This team seems very unbalanced.
  4. iortiz
    I'm not against to all high/long contracts. I think each potential contract is a particular case. BTW welcome to talksox Ogden.
  5. iortiz
    Not sure but should he gain some weight or something?... Probably his body shape is not helping him to stay healthy. It always has been a mystery to me what is going on with this guy regarding his physical condition.
  6. iortiz
    Sure but even with strong farm systems rich teams always will command the league in the long run. Also as Pal said, our farm system has not been good in recent years. Hopefully and at least Betts and XB become realities for us.

    Yeah it is kind of a joke hahaha but it is oks

    It is fine to be optimistic and all but come on LOL. Sorry but this is the worst rotation I ever seen entering into a season, but that's me.

    Thing is that you just can not have a 9 all-star lineup and 5 cy young rotation, and those "nobodys" sometimes round very well a team while you give some AB/innings to your prospects. The mix is the prudent way to go.
  10. iortiz
    ... And probably is not that different in the majority of the teams. I think that even play only 1 game in the majors is a loooooooong shot.
  11. iortiz
    Not all FAs are attached to high/long contracts. Actually only a few command high/long contracts.
  12. iortiz
    I meant another prospect that didn't work out for whatever reason. Kalish another one, and the list is probably endless. Make the MLB at decent level for at least say 5 years is tough.
  13. iortiz
    Another prospect that did not work out. Probably for each consolidated prospect, out there are 20 high rated prospects, reason why FAs are usually better bets.
  14. iortiz
    Bard was another. I like prospects and all but how many of them even high rated end up in bush leagues/minors or at very best playing at mediocre MLB level? I think that coaches have to be cautious and take young kids' careers carefully. Hopefully Betts and XB are for real as well.
  15. iortiz
    This drum has been beaten in recent years and that arm never arrived.
  16. iortiz
    This has been my concern all along. As you said, by the trade deadline it could be too late. Big IFS surround us mostly at pitching.
  17. iortiz
    20?,27?... Whatever. Let's wait how they perform at MLB level. Look what happened with WM and JBJ.
  18. iortiz
    They ain't joking, they are going as the rotation is assembled. http://m.espn.go.com/mlb/story?storyId=12239773
  19. iortiz
    Hopefully he becomes our next franchise catcher.
  20. iortiz
    I would like to live someday the spring training experience in FM. This year at least I'm going to be in Boston for the first time and for the first two games of the season at Fenway park. Probably next year I'll try to make my trip to FM.

    I just watched images of NYY and BOS and seems like it is getting tough. Hopefully everything is oks with you and your family my friend. Also, think about it, you'll be very soon in Fort Myers.
  22. iortiz
    Somehow I saw on Ranaudo some kind of potential. I even had more hopes on him and Kelly than I had in the combo they signed. At least he is from the farm, he is undercontrol and cheap. I do not know anything about this guy Ross. Hopefully I'm assessing this wrongly.
  23. iortiz
    Not sure but probably LL is the most hated man in Boston LOL!
  24. iortiz
    I have the same feeling Pal.
  25. iortiz
    Well IMO only a handful can close with consistency and durability because you do not only need good stuff but temper and balls as well. A lot of pressure is out there when the last inning comes around specially against tough line ups and close games. IMO closers are the master pieces in rosters, since they guarantee a win if you are winning after 8 innings, and could make the difference when you want to win it all... look at Koji and Pap, but that's me .
