    I don't see how we can add cost in starting pitching without also subtracting cost in starting pitching.
  3. Bellhorn04
    Yeah, I don't think they should eat more than that either.
  4. Bellhorn04
    OK forget about Peavy...what about Dempster.
  5. Bellhorn04
    Agreed.
  6. Bellhorn04
    But they would certainly have to move Dempster or Peavy to have room for Hudson or Haren.
  7. Bellhorn04
    They may be a little strapped in the sense of staying under the $189 million. It all depends, of course, what they do about catcher/first base/shortstop.
  8. Bellhorn04
    Sign me up.
  9. Bellhorn04
    My preference would be Dempster. But if they can't move him maybe trade Peavy. Reasoning: Both are signed for only one year. Frees up $10 million or so for other needs. 2014 rotation still has Lester/Lackey/Buchholz/Doubront/Peavy or Dempster + prospects.
  10. Bellhorn04
    I can see Napoli getting 2 clean years. 3 clean years would be pretty stupid on somebody's part.
  11. Bellhorn04
    That's true but Dempster's 4.57 was the one that was pretty close to what a lot of people expected.
  12. Bellhorn04
    I think they should make a serious effort to trade either Dempster or Peavy. It it's Dempster and they don't have to pay more a third of his salary, or if it's Peavy and they don't have to pay more than a couple million. Something like that. Then instead of $32 million they've got $40 million plus to spend. I have a strong feeling Dempster or Peavy will be moved.
  13. Bellhorn04
    OK, if you mean Peavy would be #4 on the Sox I agree.
  14. Bellhorn04
    Peavy had #3 stats last year.
  15. Bellhorn04
    Jeez Dojji, you're killing me with this dump Nava stuff. You were his biggest booster and he had a great season and you want to dump him. WTF? His OPS of .831 was 3rd highest for Sox regulars after Ortiz and Napoli.
  16. Bellhorn04
    I'd like to know where the 75-80 million posting fee estimate comes from. That just seems wrong. It'd be 50% more than the fee for Darvish, and by all accounts Tanaka is not as good as Darvish.
  17. Bellhorn04
    As much as I liked Drew this year, 36/3 is too much.
  18. Bellhorn04
    While Dempster ('the money') was on mopup duty.
  19. Bellhorn04
    Agreed.
  20. Bellhorn04
    75-80 million would be insane. Fee for Darvish, like Dice-K, was a little over 51 million.
  21. Bellhorn04
    There's a new penalty for going over the threshold. If a big market team like the Red Sox stays under the threshold they have to pay less in revenue sharing than they do if they go over. No idea how it's calculated but it's a significant chunk of money.
  22. Bellhorn04
    Yes, that was a huge problem this past season. They spent all that money on mid-range guys. And where did it get them?
  23. Bellhorn04
    They did fall short with the same guys last year.
  24. Bellhorn04
    You might need him in a park with a short right field fence to pull that off.
  25. Bellhorn04
    Nobody should sleep on Workman, and (sorry about this) Buchholz should sleep on nobody.
