Yup. He could be a very solid arm in our BP.

All ways take you to Rome...8M

Jung I said this earlier, hopefully we both are wrong, and this 5M-thing is just a smoke bomb or something

New Poll: Getting Another Starting Pitcher?
iortiz replied to a700hitter's topic in Boston Red Sox Talk
This is not about 178 M payroll or whatever. I think that Fred is pissed off because we are clogged in our payroll. I'm pissed off about that. -
it's funny man, this is all about... speculations, conjectures, opinions, forecasts, etc. But I got you. Hell, I'm very excited about next season. AL games will be very interesting to watch, can't wait. We are pretty close, pretty close in order to close our gap (SP). Fingers crossed.

We learned three or four days ago that STL already offered Oswalt 5 M. He refused that offer (I have understood). I can"t remember the day but I'm pretty sure that STL already offered that amount of money to Oswalt. If Ben just offered that amount of money (5 M) to him too, what did Ben make wonder that Oswalt is going to accept that offer? It doesn't make sense to me, unless this 5M thing is more false than a 3 Mexican pesos coin.

Pfff... I want to know how much they paid him...

With 5 M we will not go anywhere with these guys.

Oswalt/Jackson deals are going to be done this week, beyond which teams are the winners. Here's my call. Oswalt to Texas Jackson to O's/STL Floyd to Boston
-

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.

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