You old barrrrstad! You keep me here.
-
an inch taller and roughy a foot wider
-
maybe Valentin looked 5'10 because our players were bigger then
-
I can see that. If he plays like him, I'd be pretty pleased.
-
You got to get excited over something don't you? Can't be all about bb and fb here! I just wish Chavis was a bigger guy. He is solid but 5'10" 190 we have seen before.
-
This is a post I wish that I had made. Chavis just seems like the flavor of the day to me. Is the infatuation with him, because he is young or what ? I don't get it. Brentz deserves a shot and honestly who knows about Barfield. I don't care at all about the age of these two guys. All the suggestions about what we should do with Chavis before we even know if he really is any good are amazing.
-
But you think it likely I guess that the Sox offer has somehow leaked out maybe and a possible higher offer by someone else has not. Forgive me thinking that you might be just giving 'good ole' Red Sox nation a little poke here.
-
Second base is a much more complicated position to play than many realize. You just don't as a rule throw somebody in there who has never played the position (like a Chavis) and expect much from them. Hernandez leads the list of candidates who will man the fort until Pedroia gets back.

and that is sad- lol
-
i'm with you!!!
-
Did you check with Harmony first before you posted this Notin? I think he seems to have the inside track on the competition here.
-
beat that drum beat that drum beat that drum - Arizona and Boston. I'm beginning to hope that he stays home . End of story and move on. Ain't going to be toronto.
-
Say again -- Arizona and Boston
-
Brentz and Barfield
-
Arizona and Boston not in that order. I just heard a very refreshing interview with Jeremy Barflield up here and I have to say that a part of me is anxious to see what the likes of Jeremy and Bryce Brentz are capable of. Their recent numbers are prodigious. Players sometimes really are late bloomers regardless of what all the scouts say. 6'5" 240 works for me. These guys are worth a look. I realize that they are not the flavor of the day - oh well. They are hungry and they want to play and they aren't miniature versions of athletes.
-
Although the article did say 100 million there was still some reference to it possibly going as high as 135-150. We don't know for sure at all what is currently being negotiated. You taking the field against the Sox - me taking the Sox against the field but I am not sure that that is what I want to see happen.
-
I don't necessarily think that my comment was backward at all. I still feel that if Martinez had an offer on the table that was higher than the Red Sox offer he would already be signed. I might not have stated clearly what I meant to say. My guess is that if he waits too long, there is a chance that Boston moves away from him. If that is the case, my bet is that he signs for less. I realize that this is all about business but it is starting to be a turn off for me. I don't care if he comes or not at this point.
-
You might be right but if there is another team that swoops in to get JD I bet he winds up being paid less than he would be in Boston. It would be hard for me to believe that there is somebody out there who is topping the offer made by the Sox. if that were the case, I think that he would have already signed with someone else.
-
Arizona - Boston - the end unless someone grabs him for less than is currently be offered due to someone dropping out of the bidding war games
-
Great great memories - Mine were limited to listening the games in the pantry of our old kitchen up here in Maine. Mom and I - lifelong fans. Johnny Most - high above court side. Used to try to sound like him - tough to do.
-
He just can't win here I guess! Thanks Ben LOL!!! I don't think he cares what we think. Good for him.
-
Well Celtic fans, what would you be willing to give up for Anthony Davis? What would Red have done?
-
Me as well - I'll say again as you know I have said many times before, the concept of what the word budget means to me (and I'm doing ok) and what it means to a billionaire is something that I can not fathom. I am not concerned at all whether or not there are any financial thresholds that JH decides to stay under. If it is just about money and JH wants someone he is likely to get them. And that is real capitalism.
-
I know that he made some of his billionaire or thereabouts in the market for sure. I'm pretty sure that you aren't suggesting that since his parents were soybean farmers he came from humble beginnings. Big agi can produce lots of $.
-
You might be wrong. It is all very relative. If a billionaire spends 10000 on something seemingly stupid to you and me does that make it a stupid move? I'm also fairly sure that the majority of billionaires did not start from scratch.
