If we sign Oswalt/Jackson/Floyd (depending on what prospects we give up) I'll give Ben an A (Scu/Ortiz moves), otherwise I'll give him a D and if you rush me a F. If the money was the show stopper and/or considering the moves that Ben already made, I would let Ortiz walk, I would keep Scu and I would sign Buerhle (60/4) (Plan B Kuroda/Oswalt @ 10 M) and Ross (3). Current Ortiz (+-14) Ross (3) (They are offering 6+ to Oswalt/Jackson) BL +-23 Mine Scu (7.5) Buehrle (15) Ross (3) BL 25.5 ... and Lav to DH

Totally agree. I've been saying all this over and over again. Ben says that he has a budget, fine. We have capitalized part of Scu's money with Ross, fine. But a solid, healthy everyday SS is not easy to find out these days. I do really expect that we finally sign a SP (That's what I've been waiting since before the 2011 trade deadline). I like Ross and Ortiz but if we go like this I will not be pleased, and mostly if we are already over the cap.

Damn! Seems like nobody wants to pitch in the ALE

-
Damn! Texas is not sated yet.

Being fair, I do not know what was his call, but I think this is out of topic. Predict that (Win World Series) is a loooong shot for anybody, even for experts/oddsmakers/betting firms.
-
Well, his rank concords with mine and given his credentials I presume that I'm not that lost in my point of view
-
Well, If Crawford is a headache what will Lacky and Jenks be?
-
STL and TEX have showed that they are very interested in him. In fact, I'm reading everywhere that he will likely sign with Texas very soon.

New Poll: Getting Another Starting Pitcher?

Well, after reading that Oswalt is very close to sign with TEX and Cherington interview, I probably will change my vote. -

New Poll: Getting Another Starting Pitcher?
iortiz replied to a700hitter's topic in Boston Red Sox Talk
if true, JH will have another sold out season, and he could even raise the tickets and fans probably won't complain. -
-
Well, we learned earlier that the money is not an issue or kind of If true I wonder why in the hell did we give up Scu? Unless Ben didn't like him that much and He wants to land someone like Hanley and the SP. Hell, if the money is not the issue... Ben, sign both damn checks! (Oswalt and Jackson) :thumbsup:
-
If we land both, I don't think so...
-
I think that they are trying to land of course the SP and a SS. I think that they are not comfortable with Aviles/Punto as every day SS and Youk as a everyday 3B.
-
I think Oswalt already refused the offer and they went for Jackson.
-
If we land a man, that man will be Jackson IMO. Signs say that Oswalt wants to avoid in every possible way to sign with Boston, even making less money.
-
-
Interesting the timing. First, a tweet about Oswalt (1:33 p.m.). An hour later, a tweet about Jackson. Maybe Ben is making pressure on both or Oswalt already refused the offer and Ben went to Jackson.
-
Sign Jackson for 2 years could work it out. Maybe 16-18/2 Y.

This. We haven't had a team like this recently. Hopefully this year we avoid this regard.
