I figured as much, I was just trying to guilt trip him back into the fold ; )
-
I was really surprised we didn't trade Koji last summer. We could have got a decent haul of prospects in return. Mujica can be a good closer for us. Tazawa too. They are interchangeable.

Vasquez. Vasquez. Vasquez.

you obviously haven't lived thru the john harrington years yes, lucky lucchino is an *******, but thats not a good reason to bail on your ball club. this ownership team has had incredible success but whatever, right? have fun rooting for the chicago club, i don't care which one you choose

Sox Acquire Porcello, Miley, and Masterson
Gringo replied to vjcsmoke's topic in Boston Red Sox Talk
James Shields -
We were never going to get a stud like Cueto, so Porcello is about right. He's not an ace though. We need to trade for James Shields.
-
They play in a hitters park, and probably think Cueto is an injury risk w/ his elbow. I'm sure they were as surprised as anyone by how well he came back from that. They may want to sell high while they can, and take their chances on resigning Cespedes.
-
liverpool, liverpool, liverpooooooooool
-
A move for Cueto or Shields is a must at this point. Shame they couldn't just give Lester what he wanted, then we'd still have the Cespedes chip. We could've had Lester and Cueto as a 1-2. Oh well
-
Funny that the one outfielder assured of a starting job going into the new season is Hanley Ramirez!
-
i was hoping for iwakuma or zimmerman for cespedes
-
josh donaldson to toronto for scraps. jays have a silly power trio now wish we signed donaldson, not fat panda
-
As presently constituted, I'm going with: Castillo CF Pedroia 2B Ramirez LF Ortiz DH Sandoval 3B Bogaerts SS Craig 1B Victorino RF Vasquez C
-
If this doesn't happen, I won't be upset. $100m to a fat, injury prone player is too much, IMO. And when he's healthy, he's like a .275/20HR hitter. Hardly a world beater.
-
Let's hope they put him on a diet
-
Presumably to play LF, with Cespedes clearly the big chip in a trade for a pitcher...
-
Jeter is starting a website where athletes and fans can um, talk and stuff
-
Mookie to 2B, Pedroia to 3B to help the team, Middlebrooks packaged to get pitching.
-
I don't think Middlebrooks in the answer at third. Who knows, maybe they can have Betts play third in winter ball and spring training, and trade Middlebrooks for pitching.
-
I like the move. Medium money to a player with massive upside. No good hitter on the FA market this offseason will come as cheap, so Ben dun good. I'm assuming he'll bat leadoff... Castillo Pedroia Cespedes Ortiz Napoli Craig Middlebrooks Vazquez Boegarts
-
I expect the brass to make a run at Cole Hamels. No way we go into next season w/o a legit ace.
-
Could pay dividends to get "our guy" in there...Agent Werner
-
I gave him a C He should've wrapped up Lester a while back. That said, he can always go back in for him after the season, cuz Oakland ain't paying him beyond their playoff push this year. If Lackey demanded a trade, then we did pretty good getting Craig and Kelly. Kelly is young with upside, Craig's crap year might just be a fluke. Cespedes and Craig is a big upgrade in the most diabolical Red Sox outfield in memory. Light on starting pitching, they must be hoping the prospect we got for Miller has a chance at making the team at some point next year. Otherwise it's a bad deal. Why on Earth we couldn't/didn't/wouldn't deal Uehara is beyond me. I fully expect the rotation to be improved in the offseason. James Shields is probably a target. And they may have told Lester not to sell his house yet...
