Hopefully he can return, going to be a loooooong shot.

Lol

Bingo. How much is going to make Buehrle? 60/4? What is the value of that contract, two years ago?, now, compare it with Lackey's current contract and you'll find my concern. They overpaid the guy. Lackey's case vs contract was very risky, I used to say.
-
IMO Noesi and specially Nova will be your future stars. Hopefully for you, they don't overprotect them as they did with Joba.
-
Yup. Solid, proved and healthy SPs make that much these days. I'm not against paying those contracts. I'm against paying those contracts without solid business cases which support those contracts. The little problem with Mr. John Lackey is that he wasn't an ace and was paid as one, and if the guy for some reason shits the bed as he did in big time regardless he is going to surgery, the scrutiny about his contract raise and raise even more in the environment. Some of our FA signings have these kind of issues among others. Some of them weren't solid business cases reason why a lot of fans have fear about FAs now, even the owners these days. Theo's legacy about this issue made this bad feeling in our environment, reason why some of us tended to point at the FO first and then the players. On the other hand, Buehrle as Emmz said, is making what a pitcher of his category is making maybe a bit more or a bit less but still in the range. If he fails, Sure, you can blame the FO if you want, but you need to point at the player first.

I see Buehrle and CJ posting their career numbers, why not? I'm not saying they are aces, but solid, don't you think?
-
Nobody is against Madson at all, It's about how much they are going to give him if he comes, of course. If they give him something close to Pap's contract and shits the bed, everybody is going to be pissed off and will point the FO, and not Madson, well maybe after pointing the FO, I guess, and you know who will be in the first row.
-
were CJ and Buehrle overpaid? like Lackey?
-
Did BC have clear the 2012 budget, when he took the job? The common sense tells me yes he did. But after his execution this offseason thus far, I'm not sure.
-
Yup, I think we need to balance the line up.
-
-
...and you only missed to mention the RF OF, situation. IMO This is close to be a perfect and objective extract of what has happened with this team since the season finished and our possible scary 2012 scenario if they don't make a major move.

They better try to sign him for 20/2 otherwise Papi would be eating Ben's lunch.

I've been saying this over and over again Elk. As I said, I like Ortiz, who wouldn't want him back?, but out there are a lot of holes to fill first before the DH spot, regardless he can't field, and we are clogged in the books thanks to Theo. Call me pessimist, but the way they are executing in this offseason thus far, makes me wonder whether they even had a solid plan or strategy to face this offseason. Hell, they spent a lot of time in the manager and are about to spend more than the half of the budget in a DH and still a lot of holes to fill. I don't get it. Yes, there's still time but less options each time as the season is getting close. Hopefully I'm wrong and they have everything figured out.

Lo he venido diciendo en varios debates, gastan 15 M en el bateador designado, teniendo prioridades mucho mas importantes en el pitcheo, de verdad que no lo entiendo. Ahora hay que ver como cubren la rotacion de abridores y el BP, no va ser nada facil.
-
De verdad? No sabia doc. Por parte de su madre o padre?

Heyyyy camaradas, como andan? como ven el proxima campaNa? Para mi gusto nuestro pitcheo esta pal perro, no veo como podamos competir con equipos como los vigilantes, los serafines, los yankees, los tigres y los mismas rayas si nuestro buen amigo Ben no hace algo magico en lo que resta antes que comience la temporada, me refiero al pitcheo, por supuesto, no por la ofensiva. Como ven lo de Bard como abridor? No es que no le tenga confianza, simplementae creo que el deber?a ser el cerrador, amenos que no traigan a alguien mas, muchos huecos que llenar en la rotaci?n y en el BP. El pr?ximo a?o va a estar aun mas competido, sobre todo en la liga americana.
-
...if starting does not work out for Bard and becomes the closer, who will be the #4? Let's say Aceves... Are they going to prove him as well or what? And again, who will be the #5? This is more unreal, Jung.
-
It sounds like a CIA wire.
-
Don't get me wrong, I'm not against Ortiz, but why not fill your #1 priority first and then if there's still money grab your DH. What is wrong from this perspective? Jung, we said that If they sign Ortiz they will likely go over the threshold... Instead, they are moving Bard to the rotation and probably Aceves as well, how should we read this between lines?
-
I'm tending to think that it is #2. Hell, why? why? Spend 15 M in a DH who can't even field and leave your #1 prority (pitching) among a lot of good wishes/hopes/ifs? I really don't get it.
-
I'm not sure how this Theo comp could be a key element to get Garza, unless you send some prospects as well. About the BP, still a complete mystery to me what is the damn strategy? Youk and Crawford better comeback. If they don't go over the threshold, who is this RH OF? As you said, this team better works as a clock next year and hope that a lot good things happen.
