Mr. Carl Crawford had a horrible 2011 season. He is making tons of money. He should at least cooperate with his team and specially with his new bosses. If all this drama is true (no returning the calls, etc.) Carl Crawford is not in a good position to act like a diva.

We better bring Ross

I was about to open the champagne... Maybe few days later.

My choice would depend on what I would give up. Since Garza is "the man you build your rotation around" I would see at least Kalish and Middlebrooks and if you rush me Lavarnway in Cubland; I don't like that my friend. If you don't give up Kalish, make the deal. On the other hand you have Kuroda and Oswalt. IMO they will cost you +-12 M/year. Yes, they will cost you go over the LT, but at least you keep your top prospects, regardless our farm is not that abundant of these kind of guys (Kal, Lav, Mid).
-
That's why I would like a guy like Ross as well in order to make the trade. Regardless Sweeney is prone to injuries, isn't he?. Anyway, it is a matter of opinion.

From what I read Theo is asking gold for Garza. If we get Garza be prepared to lose some of your higher end depth prospects. I like Garza, but I want to keep those names you mentioned, specially Kalish and Lavarnway. As I said, I'd prefer to go for a guy like Kuroda, even if that means go over the LT.

Was this trade a steal for the Red Sox?, I'm not sure whether it was a steal, but seems like the As needed badly an OF like Reddick. Maybe Reddick will be better in Oakland.

If we go for Garza, Kalish will be just the BEGINING of a large list of top prospects that we will give up. I'd prefer to keep our prospects and go to FA for a guy like Kuroda even if that means go over the cap.

Bring Madson if you want, but please, first bring the SP (Kuroda/Oswalt/Garza, etc...)
-
Well, the cherry (SP and RH OF) on the top of the cake is the only thing that misses this offseason. I'm confident that we will get those guys. If true, Boston be prepared, because I'm on my way! :thumbsup:

This. I'm not sure whether BC is that confident with this guy in order to share the load with Kalish all season long. How much is he going to make anyway? He was making 1.4 M, wasn't he?...
-
Ryan Sweeney has a career 720 OPS
-

Excellent News. Now, let's go for the SP. BTW Will Kalish take the full time job? or Is BC thinking in land another OF?
-
At least BC should raise his hand and voice in this one.
-
This is what I've been saying, and I agree. On the other hand if we sign a SP and Madson/Bailey I really believe that this team can be a serious contender team (regardless that an extra RF OF would be a very nice to have). As E1 said once, we have the core. The problem with this team now and then is/was the pitching (rotation, BP, depth). This core is a premium one, but we need a couple of moves in our pitching and hope that our 1-3 stay healthy if we want to run as real contenders, otherwise we will face next season with a lot of question marks.

Thanks Mike. That's the list.
