  1. What the hell are you doing Felix?
  2. Doubront gave Davis a meatball.
  3. Epic Fail for the OBP "Monster"
  4. Well son of a bitch. Iglesias has some balls on 'im.
  5. And JBJ is very very good at baseball.
  6. Victorino is apparently not that bad at baseball.
  7. My God Ellsbury flies.....
  8. That wasn't Valentines' problem. His problema was losing the clubhouse with both the Mets and Sox.
  9. Hey-oooooooooooooh
  10. Haha that's because they call Moustakas "Moooooooose" in KC, which sounds very much like "Boooooooooo".
  11. The first Red Sox HR will be hit by Jose Iglesias, and we will all bow before his greatness. That is all.
  12. No it wouldn't. It would demonstrate the ability for excellence, coupled with bursts of "very good play" and a ton of injury problems.
  13. Actually the market for OF with Ellsbury's profile was set by the Red Sox with the Crawford contract. Fast-forward to this year, and look at the Bourn contract (who is essentially Ellsbury with less power but more pure OB ability) and notice that trend being reversed. If Ellsbury doesn't exhibit big power, he's not making big money. it's a simple as that.
  14. Except that the Dodger OF is more than full with Kemp/Ethier/Crawford and Puig waiting in the wings and Pederson/Baldwin quickly developing. The "Dodgers will sign him" argument is overplayed. They cannot sign every major free agent, since roster space is, after all, limited.
  15. So is their offense.
  16. They are different issues though. The positional change is one thing, the Red Sox paying him is another. I get the impression that the possibility of Ellsbury staying is a lot more real than most of us think. I don't think he'll ever post 20 HR's again, and if he posts a .300/.360/.450 line with 15 HR's and 40+ SB, he probably won't be able to parlay those numbers into a contract significantly bigger than the one Michael Bourn got, allowing the Sox to be players for him. 2011 is long gone. What matters is what he does in 2013. Whoever says the Sox (or anyone for that matter) should/would pay 20 per for Ellsbury needs to have their head examined.
  17. How does the phrase "grabbing at straws" apply in that instance? He was suggesting a plausible scenario which was actually tried by the Red Sox before. All of that positional discussion is mostly nonsense. The only problem here is whether or not the Sox are willing to shell out the dough.
  18. Palodios and i had an argument about Nava and hyperbole about his on-base skills.
