    Fred doesn't know how arbitration works apparently.

    How is Ellsbury injury-prone? He has had one meaningful injury in his entire career, and it was a freak accident.

    That's not how it works. If they release Ortiz, they are still on the hook for whatever the arbitration results are.

    I'm not quite picking up your point in either post then.

    But that supports the idea that they may reinforce the club around the All-Star break if they remain highly competitive. The easier the schedule in the first half, the higher the chance they win a lot of games and reinforce the club for the second half.

    It's a touchy issue, but Murphy's Law has punished the Red Sox so hard the last two years that something has to go right for them eventually.

    I hate the Crawford contract more and more every day.

    Because of his experience in the AL East, they thought Bedard was the best option, and they were wrong. But remember that Rich Harden was available, as was Wandy Rodriguez, Doug Fister, Edwin Jackson, and Ubaldo Jimenez.

    They had several plausible scenarios to acquire SP last season, and went for Bedard. It's not like there weren't enough possibilities.

    This is another thing that's very annoying. You keep condemning Cherington like it's his fault they closed the purse strings regardless of the point about his power. It is pure idiocy. I mean criticize the guy for valid reasons.

    If the top of the rotation staays relatively healthy, the Sox will be competing for the division at the TDL. Book it.

    I disagree. Every year teams that fall short of expectations start selling pieces at a reduced cost. Be it because it is an expiring contract, that team wants to fortify a position, etc. IMO it would be much easier for the Sox to pull off a trade near the TDL because they will be much more informed about what they have with some prospects and some of the low-value acquisitions they made. If they're still competitive, that is. As i always say, the glass can be half full.

    One possibility a lot of poeple seem to be disregarding is the team's ability to acquire players during the season. If something bad happens, the team has the possibility of adding a player during the season with minimal cap implications.

    You want more bitching? You's trollin'.

    What i mean is, that even if the Sox have a major injury to their pitching, it's still highly unlikely that either of those vastly inferior teams manage a better record than the Sox. Specially the White Sox, who flat out suck

    Toronto has less pitching and a weaker offense than the Red Sox. The White Sox are rebuilding and lost Mark Buehrle, traded Carlos Quentin and their closer Sergio Santos. How are either of those team a bet to be better than the Sox in 2012?

    Fred, you sound like a spoiled, ugly sixteen year-old rich girl whining because her daddy got her a Jaguar instead of a porsche. Everyone here knows the team's needs, but there's a difference between discussing the needs and whining. You're whining. It's not that i don't want to read what you have to say, but whatever good things your opinions may have are mired in annoying whining and stupid nicknames. Let it be said, that i haven't advocated for any of you to leave the board, so don't include me, as i said before, in your squabbles.

    Stop starting s***. Let it go.
