    From Ricky Doyle:

    Yes, because it's not like almost every year a team doesn't hand the closer job to a complete unknown who proves more than competent for the job. What "some people" will never understand is that the closer spot is overrated. You do need a very good closer to succeed, but the thing is that those aren't that hard to find, and the Sox probably have one already.

    60 million for eight years is his floor in terms of asking price. You preach caution for signings, yet advocate taking a huge risk on a player that is a complete and utter unknown. Be consistent.

    As said above, i will wait until the chips fall before casting judgment. As far as i'm concerned, they're juggling between the manager situation, and working on the on-field product, and negotiations for players usually take time, with Papelbon being the exception that proves the rule. No point in flipping my s*** over a roster that hasn't finished taking shape for 2012. If i see a product that is less than desirable believe me i will condemn them as well, but i just can't believe that this team's upper management can't do three things at the same time. If they can't, then they should look for an alternate method of employment.

    Speier on the Red Sox and Nathan as well as the closer search:

    Surprising. I immediately thought that it was because Ben was sitting on his thumbs instead of doing due diligence.

    Which is the sensible thing to do. Hiding behind the fact that you're a "fan" to be irrational doesn't make it any less annoying. Love the Chicken Little thing too.

    He's never won a series in MLB though.

    What is this supposed to be? I don't now, but could you please stop annoying me? Pretty please with sugar on top?

    I liked Nathan, but not at that price. The same people bitching in this thread probably didn't want him at that price either.

    No one likes a know-it-all. If hired, Valentine may wear his welcome out in Boston quicker than people assume he will.

    Interesting that Swisher is a guy "Beane has always coveted" since Beane himself drafted him in 2002, developed him, and then had him for 4 years in the A's roster before trading him to the White Sox.

    I am a die hard Red Sox fan of course, but I usually watch a lot of Mets games due to being in their market and spending a fair share of time with my grandpa, a Mets fan. He has nothing but positive things to say about Bobby V, and although I was a bit young then, I always did like him and those Mets teams.

    Ellsbury over Bautista is arguable, not a certainty.
  17. User Name
    Bautista should have won it.

    Really? I don't think so.

    Details to follow. It actually wasn't unanimous. Can someone fix the title?

    Tragic.

    Wait, isn't iortiz always saying that the Sox need to overhaul their FA signing process and go after guys with proven track records who they are sure can succeed in this environment, then turns around and suggests the Sox drop a boatload of money on a guy who hasn't even taken a swing in the minors?

    It's absolutely amazing how much a person can toot their own horn about being correct about everything. I bet this guy calls for the FO to sign a certain a player, and if the player sucks, then it's because the FO didn't do their due diligence because HE can never be wrong. What a prize.

    Cafardo's probably hung up on the kid's potential after his solid 2010 season. But the kid strikes out a ton, doesn't get on base, can't hit lefties, is yet another lefty OF (like we don't have enough of those) and is limited defensively.

    Wait, i thought Valentine wasn't Manager of the Sox yet because.....wait for it.....he isn't. He may be hired, probably will be hired, but in the meantime, how about the chest-pounding about him and the "prediction" that he would be hired stop?
