    I gave him a B. That's kind of a namby-pamby vote, but it's a little early to judge the results of the offseason. As has been said frequently, Cherington wasn't given much financial room to play with. I kind of like all the dumpster pitching acquisitions-something has to come of it, right? Ah hell, I'm a pollyanna, what can I say.

    LOL how cynical...and probably accurate.

    Heyman is one of the more reliable beat writers though. He seems to have a good inside connection, I think it might be Boras.

    'Interesting' is the word that comes to mind when I think about this year. For once maybe I'll just relax, and watch things unfold with no expectations. But if they start 8-2, I know that damn optimism will kick in again.

    Some people see the glass as half-full. Some people see it as half-empty. Accountants see the glass as too damn big, and recommend a sizing adjustment on future orders.

    Jeff Passan had a story about Oswalt that seemed plausible. The gist of it was that Oswalt is only interested in playing for the Rangers or the Cards. Neither team has a rotation opening, but Oswalt may be prepared to wait until there's opening through injury or ineffectiveness.

    Wouldn't following through on that that mean paying Epstein for a year to do nothing? And not getting any compensation whatsoever? Hard to see how that would be a beneficial move.

    We're getting Carpenter and a PTBNL.

    They should have done it like a salary arbitration, where Selig could only pick one. That would have forced them to come up with reasonable offers.

    Epstein put a very strong team on the field at the start of 2011. A lot of weird s*** happened, from injuries to the pitching collapse. You could blame some of that stuff on him, but some of it was just s***** luck as far as the GM's involvement in it.

    I'm glad Mark Belanger's name came up. I'll be happy if that's the guy Iglesias is ultimately compared to.

    All he said were facts, Muggah.

    And the guys who call him Blunder and Inepstein are also the guys who say Francona was a lousy manager who cost 5-10 games a year. Which would put us at 95-100 wins every year of Epstein's tenure. I love that part.

    Our offense won't be a problem, you said so yourself. We'll score enough runs with or without Iglesias. If he can play a good shortstop that'll be enough.

    You didn't like Trot either?

    We don't trade with NY. :thumbdown They got two picks for Damon. Used to take Daniel Bard and Kris Johnson.

    I really don't think so. The Red Sox were 3rd in the league in SB in 2008 and 5th in 2009. I think the 2008 team was the first Red Sox team to have 3 players with 20 SB. Plus I'm sure they expected Crawford to steal a lot of bases. Why he didn't remains somewhat of a mystery.
  24. Bellhorn04
    Okay.
  25. Bellhorn04
    Excellent point.
