    Pumpsie posted the Vegas odds for winning the 2012 World Series a few days ago: Philly 6-1 NYY 13-2 LAA 13-2 Tex 9-1 Det 9-1 Bos 11-1 Also TB 20-1 Tor 40-1 I think we can designate Vegas as being just as expert as MLB Radio...unless anyone has any objective evidence to show otherwise.

    The latest on Papi is that 'arbitration experts' think the Red Sox would win their case, and that Ortiz is very open to avoiding arbitration and settling on a 2-year deal.

    Ah what the heck, sign Harden and Ohlendorf too. But we might have to hire more mechanics for the pitchers garage. There will be a lot of heaps to be worked on.

    The whole notion of experts making preseason picks is a joke. Have you noticed that none of them ever shows us their track record of how their past predictions worked out? Anybody here can make preseason picks that have just as much of a chance of turning out right.

    Yes, fair enough. But even if he could give what he did in 2010, some innings and a 4.69 ERA, it would be a help.
  6. Bellhorn04
    I agree. If he's healthy Oswalt is a very good pitcher. I'm still hoping we can get him.

    Speier's numbers show that we are going way over the LT threshold. People need to realize that and stop talking about staying under the threshold as a possibility. The only way they could have a prayer of doing that is by cutting the Big Papi in spring training. I don't think so. http://bit.ly/x8Lcdq

    His numbers look pretty comparable to Jackson's.

    That revenue sharing penalty kicks in in 2013, and it's phased in over 4 years, starting at 25% and going to 100%. The LT threshold increases to 189 million in 2014.

    Personally I think it's going to be a very entertaining season, especially with Bobby V at the helm.

    I dunno, I think that up close & personal approach is mainly for the monster deals like Teixeira etc. Most of these guys are such mercenaries, you could meet their wife, their kids, and their pets, but the only thing that really matters to them is who's the highest bidder.
  14. Bellhorn04
    Yeah, right now they are acting like a bunch of bargain-hunters prowling around a flea market where the tables are really getting bare.

    Not entirely. The postseason is an extension of 'down the stretch' IMO.
  18. Bellhorn04
    How about Teixeira's postseason numbers for the Yanks? 27 games .170 batting avg. .302 slugging pct. A real Mister Clutch!

    Of course it is. I think a lot of Sox fans are just paranoid right now, and it's somewhat understandable, given the September meltdown and also the injury plagues of the last two years.
  21. Bellhorn04
    Damn, doesn't hearing that make it feel like it's almost spring?
  22. Bellhorn04
    Fred, the Yankees just signed your old pal Delcarmen, and he didn't even pitch in the majors last year. Doesn't that say it all about signings like John Maine? They scoop these guys up thinking there's a chance in hell they might get some use out of them. This s*** goes on all the time. In the days before the internet we wouldn't even hear about transactions like that. Now we're all over every little news flash. You have to ignore some of this stuff.

    Matsuzaka threw a 21-pitch bullpen with no apparent issues. Sounds like he might be back a little earlier than had been expected.

    I think some of the nicknames like Hi Ho Silva and Short Order Cook are fine because they're clever/goofy Chris Berman type stuff. But Putritek is a whole other type of nickname.
