    But it gives ammo to douchus-maximus to keep calling me out while hiding behind the safety of the ignore button. "Ignore is for pussies".

    Kind of uncalled for, and also not true FYI.

    All of this is bull. They kept Posada and Williams way past their prime and they're paying a mediocre, near washed-up Jeter 17 million to play SS. Let's be "realistic" here.

    He hasn't admitted it to me.

    And his teams had the second-best winning % in MLB during his tenure. Don't forget that.

    Don't you mean "Blunder's" departure?

    Try not to stretch a muscle patting your own back there, Fred.

    Did you not just see the post saying that Bleacher report is regurgitating Sickel's rankings? How is a site that can be edited by pretty much anyone and that copies content reliable? I understand the reason why Law has the Red Sox much lower in his rankings, given his admitted love for readiness instead of potential, but even he doesn't deny the fact that the Sox' farm is brimming with just that: Potential.

    He has also said he wants to limit the possibility of executives moving mid-contract, and may make an example out of this situation. This has been quoted several times on-site.

    http://www.minorleagueball.com/2012/1/23/2728027/2012-baseball-farm-system-rankings-prospects Depends on your definition of middle of the pack. Also, the Jays and Rays are top 10, but the Yanks aren't after losing Montero. Let's of course ignore that the Rays and Jays have been amassing high 1st-round picks for years, yet the Jays don't have a homegrown core as strong as the Sox.

    John Sickels rated the Red Sox 2012 farm system at 11th with potential for big improvements. I believe John Sickels is a much better source of scouting than Bleacher Report, as should everyone else.

    People are just avoiding the Glenn Beck line of arguing here.

    And how do you know this wasn't a Lucchino signing? Crawford signifies the opposite of everything Epstein ever stood for in regards to team building. Everybody knows that. Except you and the usual haters.

    The Red Sox have been drafting high-upside HS talent for years. The reason why the Sox farm system is "middle of the pack" is because that strategy gives you better overall talent at the cost of more development time, thus most of the upper-tier talent the Sox have amassed is in the lower tier of the minors. Any self-respecting talent evaluator will tell you that the Sox are loaded with high-impact talent, but they can't be ranked any higher because that talent will take a while to reach the Majors. Oh, and of the two links posted to "Rankings list" one is from before the 2011 season and the other one is Bleacher report, which is completely unreliable.

    Let's act like we know how we went down while we don't know anything about the negotiations why don't we!

    The good thing is that now we don't have to carry 'Tek around of an extra catcher for Wakefield amirite?

    He's not doing the comparing. Talent evaluators are doing the comparing. While it is premature and should be taken with a great grain of salt, i'm going to go out on a limb and say that talent evaluators are better at evaluating talent (see what i did there?) than we are, and their opinions may mean the kid's defense is something special. You wouldn't be so quick to dismiss their opinions if they were negative, which is par for the course.

    Come on man, everything that can go wrong will go wrong. You should know better. They will all suck/get injured or both.

    This makes no sense. It does not apply at all.
