    I think you went much too far out with the 5+ years part. That's well beyond what we can foresee.

    I'd say it looks bad. But horrible? I think you have to leave room for some of the other contracts that are potentially worse, or much worse - Pujols, Fielder, Howard.

    None of us have any idea how many games Buchholz is going to miss over the next four years. Ellsbury is another guy who has often been described as a player who can't stay on the field. But because he had a solid year this year a lot of people are willing to offer him $100 million.

    13 million is pretty damn cheap by current standards.

    I highly doubt that the plan is to go into 2015 with no Lester and no Buchholz. Buchholz is one of the most talented starters in baseball and is under control for 4 more years. Obviously many fans have lost patience because of the injuries and missed time. Cherington's job is not to think like a fan.

    I think many of us would like to see Drew back, with Bogaerts at third. But the economics may rule it out.

    This gives rise to a question about the Red Sox hitting this postseason. Overall our hitting numbers were poor. But we had some huge timely hits that decided games for us. Ortiz's slam, Victorino's slam, Gomes's 3 run shot, Ross's double, Victorino's triple. How do we explain the timely hits-was it good hitting (even though our overall hitting was bad), untimely bad pitches by the opponent, or luck?

    No, it just enables an auction which has frequently led to disastrously inflated contracts. Crawford, Werth, Pujols, Fielder, BJ Upton.

    When I saw Workman come out for the 8th I thought 'shades of Bronson Arroyo in 2004 ALCS Game 6'. This wasn't quite as shocking considering it was a 5 run lead. Workman did great and justified Farrell's faith. It was interesting how Farrell used Tazawa in the postseason - 8 of his outings were one batter only.

    He had a .777 OPS in the regular season with 13 HR and 67 RBI in 124 games. Excellent numbers for a SS. He hit a nasty slump in the postseason.

    You won't ever hear me complain about the current Red Sox ownership. 12 years of ownership - 3 championships. Yankees in same time frame - 1 championship.

    And he even acquired a pitcher, David Carpenter in the trade. But then, he let Carpenter go and the guy goes on to have an excellent season as Atlanta's setup guy. So it wasn't all sunshine and roses. One good move followed quickly by one bad move. Yes, I'm joking.

    In a way it's the perfect time for Ellsbury to leave Boston. He's had his ups and downs here. If he leaves now its with a pretty solid legacy.
  15. Bellhorn04
    Good points. And trading Dempster would add a huge amount of flexibility for 2014. I think it happens.
  16. Bellhorn04
    You just have to make the QO by Monday.
  17. Bellhorn04
    Strange as it may seem, there are a lot of teams that have much more payroll room than the Sox right now. Teams that need a splash signing to get people in the ballpark.
  18. Bellhorn04
    I think they're due by Monday.
  19. Bellhorn04
    Boras already said he's received calls from 11 teams or something like that. It's going to get silly and Jacoby is going to be a very rich man.
  20. Bellhorn04
    Absolutely. As this season unfolded and you saw all the good things that were happening you could tell that this team had a real shot.
  21. Bellhorn04
    I'm as sentimental as they come about bringing back the guys that helped you win a World Series. But with Ellsbury, the situation just screams that you have to let him go.
  22. Bellhorn04
    You're always fortunate to win a WS. Winning 2 is a jackpot. They're probably done for a while now.
  23. Bellhorn04
    Ha ha ha...are you kidding Fred? I'll be here just about every day. Red Sox are 24/7/365 for me and many others. We'll be here. We're nuts.
  24. Bellhorn04
    Let's face it folks. This was pretty much a miracle. We took a starting rotation that had the worst ERA in franchise history and added Ryan Dempster to it, and won the World Series.
  25. Bellhorn04
    Or maybe Larry just figured we were a 90-win team at best. That idea was not unreasonable.
