  1. Man, the TJS's just keep coming.
  2. And the total cost to 283.4 million, excluding Hanley's vesting option.
  3. Unfortunately it's the fans who ultimately pay for it. Henry's return on investment just keeps growing.
  4. Pete was actually being a little kind not including Hanley in there.
  5. Now is the time to have a lot of patience with a guy like Swihart.
  6. Swihart would be no more than a throw-in for one of those players. You're totally overvaluing him. His offensive numbers are lousy and his catching defense needs work. Better to keep him and hope for better things next year.
  7. Swihart looked good at the plate at times, but his numbers just aren't very impressive. He needed to boost them this year and he went in the other direction instead.
  8. Somebody has to say it: a bag of balls.
  9. The Blue Wahoos!
  10. It'll be even harder to top because of the increase in the number of teams since then.
  11. I'm sure no one's greatly excited about Prado, but if we can get Phelps in the deal and we don't have to give up much talent because we're taking on Prado's salary, it might be a palatable option.
  12. All the price rises at Fenway are a shame. But that's how they pay for our expensive talent. You have to look at it as a luxury event now.
  13. How many of Lynn's when he was with Sox? I know he hit the grand slam off Atlee Hammaker in 1983.
  14. I think Manny forced the ending on management. But we shouldn't even dwell on that. I also believe signing Manny was one of the most important factors in the years of success that followed.
  15. Just watched it. Enough to bring a tear to the eye.
  16. Very tough to go back to back. Hasn't been done since the 2000 Evil Ones.
  17. Yes, that's understandable. I think Dombrowski recognizes that a big splashy move for a third baseman won't guarantee us of anything...I think he may be focusing more on a reliever. We shall see.
  18. Personally I think Theo underestimated Beltre, probably thrown off by Beltre's numbers with Seattle.
  19. You're off by a year. Beltre was with the Sox for the 2010 season. The plan for 2011 was Youk at third. When Youk faded Middlebrooks replaced him in 2012.
  20. Classic line. There are also some horror stories about lottery winners blowing their money in a hurry.
  21. Yes, it was a decision that can be questioned but one that he had reasons for.
  22. One could argue that his misses were because of unforeseeable injuries, although trust me, I'm not too happy about neither of those guys ever throwing a pitch for us.
