  1. So who the hell are they going to get for the rotation. Seems like it's starting to narrow down to: a) Trade Sanchez c) Dumpster dive
  2. You mean the insurance policy? I read that it would cover 75% of the contract if he was declared physically unable to perform. I don't know how that would affect the payroll for lux tax purposes. Anybody?
  3. Hamilton can seriously jerk the baseball, no question. I remember one he hit at Fenway that went deep into the right field seats and it seemed like a relatively easy swing.
  4. Exactly. I don't care if he's a cyborg, if he gets the job done.
  5. Lighten up man, seriously. Short term deals. Cherington is holding on to our prospects.
  6. Not quite teed up yet? Ben's starting to sound cocky.
  7. Same here.
  8. Just looking at the Yankees payroll commitments the next few years in light of Hal's insistence on getting it below 189 million for tax purposes, this is no secret, but the monster contracts are really tying them up. A-Rod, Tex and CC-that's a total of 73 million for 3 players. Figure Cano for 20 million plus and you're already at close to 100 million for 4 players, without even dealing with numerous positions and with one pitcher accounted for. And remember that the 189 million includes benefits of 10 million + and the full 40-man roster. Wow!
  9. I dunno, he didn't rule it out.
  10. If you break down Ross's season, he did most of his damage in Fenway, against lefties, in the first half. And he's not a good defender.
  11. It's insane inflationary prices this year. How the hell did BJ Upton get 75 million after posting a .298 OBP?
  12. jung, you've been pointing out, rightly, that we seemed to be getting weaker on defence. Victorino is a good defensive outfielder isn't he?
  13. Man, the booze must really flow at these meetings.
  14. They said Gomes would be playing a lot in left. I think they wanted an outfielder who could catch the ball. Gomes and Swisher as the corner OF's would be an adventure.
  15. Well we can't just load up on big hairy, bad-fielding beasts like Gomes and Napoli can we?
  16. The thought of Gomes and Swish in the outfield at the same time is not so funny.
  17. He's not a good defensive catcher. And if he was signed to catch who's going to play first base?
  18. I think they're going to sign one starter from a short list and they are moving on that right now. I agree Haren could have been a good sign. Mind you his medical records did scare off both the Angels and the Cubs.
  19. Not sure nail is a strong enough word. I'm thinking a huge box of railroad spikes.
  20. Yes...our imaginations really get fired up here sometimes.
  21. Voting Hamilton just for fun. It's starting to sound like they might be in on him for real.
  22. I have my doubts Sanchez is going to get that 6/90.
  23. Could be. Right now I suspect everything and believe nothing.
  24. Mets have a grudge against us for letting them have Jason Bay.
