    Yes, it's plausible to think that this is all Theo's mess. He had the autonomy to sign free agents that Lucchino himself admits lobbying for.

    The logical way to go, as far as i'm concerned, is to make Bard the closer, trade for Thornton from the White Sox (who they are supposedly shopping "desperately") sign a couple BP arms, a starter, and a RHH OF.

    While a good team needs a good closer to win, the Cl position is the most overrated one in the Majors. It's true that you need a certain mentality to be a closer, but closers emerge yearly in the league, and pitchers with the mentality and the stuff are a dime-a-dozen right now. Agree with Yazman, letting Pap go at that price, provided they had a backup plan, was the right move.

    More media babble. Valentine will be just fine and the players will accept him--initially at least.

    Yup. I've been insulted by half of this board for saying the exact same thing.

    Ignore is for pussies. Specially if it's someone else telling you to do it. Have a personal opinion for once. Also, what a hypocrite. Claiming to be a man of peace but taking shots. Bye-bye credibility.

    Papelbon is a reliever. Statistical analysis shows that relievers, with the variability in their performance, and using past signings as basis, are not ideal long-term investments. You choose to cover your eyes to the data (the exact thing jung claims the FO does) because of some type of attachment to the player.

    Wilson supposedly wants a $100 Million dollar contract. If the Sox balk at that price, i would agree with them.

    I was on this train before but the current sentiment seems to be that Buehrle is not going back to the White Sox.

    Was that the game where Torre let him throw like a thousand pitches?

    If there's a year where they should break the piggy and screw their luxury tax restrictions this is it. But what if it handicaps them regarding future acquisitions?

    And Dutchy, AtWork, Boomer, Imperial59. I am multi-talented.

    That's a fair concern. Which two starters do you think the Sox could fit into their budget in order to keep both Bard/Aceves in the BP?

    Like your take on sabermetricians using Tango's information incorrectly. That was pretty funny, let me tell you. Feel free to continue tooting your own horn.

    Did i say it was good thing? I said i found it interesting in the interest of the discussion of whether or not BC had any pull in the organization. The optimal choice would have been to name a new manager right away, and to handle the Cherington situation better regarding the public perception about him, but even though they took their time, i'm okay with that as long as Valentine is the right guy.

    To be honest, i expected Valentine to be named manager after the Sveum fiasco, but kept the possibility of a surprise coming along as a viable scenario in my head. What i found interesting was how long BC actually managed to drag this out.

    I love how he discredits the numbers without any actual analysis.

    To summarize your thesis presentation: It's all speculation. And because it is speculation, and this is a discussion board, that speculation will usually be challenged. Can't take the heat, get out of the kitchen.

    This is a message board, not a UN forum. Most of the things are said in the heat of the moment. With the slow off-season everyone has been on their toes. Now that the manager has been signed we can all get along children.

    Lucchino has always been lurking in the shadows regarding trades/ FA signings.(/In response to Fred)
