  1. I agree. Ben either misread the market for DH's or ownership cut the legs out from under him ( yet again) with the luxury tax limitation.
  2. There was a DJ in Boston years ago (name escapes me) who says the Duke of Sandwich din't invent the " sandwhich" either. It was actually the Earl of Shrewsbury. Perhaps the concession stands at Fenway will start serving "Valentines":D
  3. Some pundits believe the sox aare waiting for Madson's price to come down.
  4. Hanley is truly unhappy over being moved to third (which I doubt BTW) then there could be an opporetunity for a three way trade.
  5. One thing we all can be sure of, Cherries will take his time.
  6. HuH? Bobby V is the on field manager. What are he or any other manager supposed to do at the winter meetings?
  7. I am sure the middle east conflict will be solved at some point too. I suspect sooner than Ben making any kind of coherent timely decision.
  8. Several weeks ago, I posted elsewhere that Ben reminded of the story of the jackass who died of starvation because he was midway between two bales of hay and couldn't make up his mind which to eat from. At what point does delibration become indecision?
  9. I think there is ample evidence that Youk and some of his team mates have issues. The reporters who are speaking on this are highly respected and ones who have been quite reliable in the past. Regardless, I don't see anyway the Sox can obtain a major League ready starter without trading a major league position player starter. The only one likely to bring anything in return is Youklis.
  10. I agree. I think trading Youk is the only move that is likely to net a major league starter in return. I suspect the Red Sox will be talking to the Braves. Plus I think from a clubhouse perspective Youk may have some baggage that may make moving him desireable.
  11. Saw the Maddon interview on TV. He now has dark brown hair:D
  12. Guess that lets him out:D
  13. Apodaca I understand is under contract to Colorado so he may not be able to move. I heard Hershieser's name mentioned.
  14. I do believe that the subtractions have left the team better even with its holes.
  15. Both you and Pumpsie are correct after a thorough analysis of all the data the actually scientific term used by Red Sox Nation to describe them was: We "SUCKED"
  16. Congratulations. One of your better and more cogent posts. I can actually agree to most of it. Just to set the record straight. I believe in stats and use proprietary analytical performance measures daily. I just don't place the emphasis on them to the extent that some here do. I will discredit them when they are overstated as they were above.. For me everything is in context. Mediocrity is a relative term. But we have had this discussion before.
