    So are the Rays with Farnsworth and their best player, Longoria, on the shelf already.

    It's not that i'm not interested in Ortiz, mind you, but rather the fact that i don't think i'd be getting equal value, and i'd need to get rid of one of my Util-type guys in a trade like this one too.

    If it was better for the team long term, he would be in the bullpen. This is the ideal time for him to start. It's as simple as that. As for the rest of this post, no one is as effective as a couch manager, a Monday Night Quarterback or an internet GM.

    Also, i don't get where exactly do you get an honest, informed idea of the players' character regardless of what happened in '11. Sounds like a lot of reaching to me. As for the rest of your post, you answer your own question. The Red Sox care more about what's good for the team than what the players want. They clearly thought Bard starting was better for the team long term.

    I like my team a lot as well, but i feel like i have an excess of SP and need an impact bat. The guys i really like from your team are Napoli, Holliday and Ortiz. Any chance with any of them?

    No one is saying the Sox rolled over for Bard. It was simply a perfect storm: Bard clearly preferred to start, and the need for him to be a starter, given the state of the pitching, arised. Also, keep in mind that the Aceves example does not apply, because had Bard completely flunked out as an SP in Spring Training, we'd probably have Aceves starting games right now. So again, it's a combination of desire from the player plus necessity from the team. Now that Bard has been converted, it makes no sense to pull the plug on the project because Bailey got injured.

    Hey, you're the one who came out looking like you needed some Midol "You're ignoring what i say" all teared up. Also, when Bobby V got to Boston, the Bard-asked-to-be-a-starter rumor was already floating around. That's just a confirmation. Look at the whole video i posted, all he talks about is starting and how he likes it better than the BP. It's obvious.

    Pence and Cespedes would not get it done, but it's a good starting point for negotiations.

    It doesn't matter what it looked like. I didn't quote you, or mention you by name. Also, you couldn't be farther from the truth. The Bard from the rotation project was initiated by Bard, not the Sox. Straight from the horse's mouth

    You people are killing me here. Seriously? No one's interested in Sabathia, Price or A-Gon?

    Rivera always wanted to be a CF, so he shags fly balls hoping to "play a game in center before he retired". Looks like that ain't happening now.

    The Yankees barely spent money this offseason, electing to go for the trade route to shore up their problems, just like the Sox did. Are the Yankees in rebuilding mode too?

    And Felger, don't forget Felger.

    I just don't understand why someone would accept Mazz's sensationalist dribble as gospel. It's his schtick. Then again, he unsurprisingly agrees with most of the stuff you come up with, pumpsie, so whatever.

    If this is your intended goal on this site, you are working very diligently towards it. I have no other choice but to admit you're definitely a go-getter.
