  1. I would not go beyond 5 years. Once again, somewhere between or at 125-150.
  2. I am certainly with the majority here in my thinking that that offense needs the big bat. Where I might differ from some I guess is that the number of years is a lot more important than the money it takes. I don 't think I would go beyond the five year deal but the $ figure just is not all that important. Something between 125 and 150.
  3. Moon is going to be loving some a700 for mentioning that c____f word. lol
  4. I'm not trying to horn in on your discussion but doesn't it kind of depend on what your personal feelings might be about the team moving forward? If you truly think that they are a 93+ win team as presently constructed then sure it would seem in my opinion to be foolish to add on any contract that might seem restrictive to us later on. I don't think that we are. Thus I think that we need to add a run producing bat to our lineup that will allow us to make the playoffs and possibly advance - Maybe even two good bats!
  5. Absolutely the truth. People that we might think are true slimeballs exist in all walks of life. It certainly isn't an exclusive club for the rich and famous.
  6. You are above 0??? You Canadians get all the breaks !!! -10 here.
  7. keeps us all going during the deep freeze!
  8. I would like to know as well but in a way I think that it is a good thing that I don't. Like you, I absolutely believe that he has multiple plans. The suggestions that come from the fan base over the internet are literally all over the place. I bet he understands pretty well that some are going to be upset and some are going to be happy with what gets done. I really hope that other than making use of his cell phone he doesn't go near the net. More opinions (both good and bad) get expressed these days than ever before.
  9. I think I will take the optimistic route on this one. Management has to know that standing pat going in to this season likely won't make it. Some think that in ways this team under achieved last year. I don't. I think that they actually over achieved - won a lot of close games that surprised me for sure. At least one big headliner is going to be signed. Maybe even two.
  10. I really hope that DD holds the line at 5 years. The money I don't think is much of an issue. The Red Sox I imagine can more than hold their own against rival bidders. If Boras goes directly to ownership and the deal becomes more than 5 - oh well. Ultimately I guess it would be JH who makes the call. He knows that bringing in Martinez will help to invigorate the fan base.
  11. So you just posted it here for a good laugh right.
  12. He might not but for Bogaerts and prospects you just never know.
  13. sounds as though something is starting to happen at least.
  14. I really think that it would be an awesome lineup for quite some time. I'm no real fan of Machados but his power and ability speaks for itself. Martinez, I think is for sure the catch that this team needs. I don't think that it is likely to happen but you never know. Our GM wants to win - yesterday, today, and tomorrow. It is who he is. Baltimore won't be resigning Machado after this season. Most realize that. A deal for either JBJ or Bogaerts and prospects may seem pretty enticing to them. I have no doubt that if the Sox trade for Machado and they want him that they will sign him long term. He is one of the big fish.
  15. oh boy - If he comes away with both Martinez and Machado, the Yankees and their illustrious fan base will be crapping in their hats -lol. Doubt that it happens but you never know.
  16. What is the deal with you and Machado SS? Is this just about him sliding in to Pedroia or do you have something else? I haven't seen anything telling me that he is a bad teammate. I don't think that there is much chance of his coming to boston but no one yet has said anything that convinces me that if it happened even just for year it would be a bad thing. I would prefer his bat and particularly his defense at ss as opposed to Bogaerts. Now if it continues to be Bogaerts, I am actually ok with that as well. I really would never like to see Puig coming to Boston.
  17. Regardless of Puig's abundant talent, he is a boob. We are in the process of eliminating the boobs. No to Puig (kind of looks like that was said by DD some time ago), yes to JD Martinez
  18. Is this quantifiable Moon? (joke) lol - Trying to determine who might be more slimey just seems like a way to pass the time away. My guess is that there is quite a bit of slime in a majority of people involved in all walks of life. Don't have to be rich to be slimey.
  19. Very likely true. Eventually things probably would have caught up with him just not so soon.
  20. I will follow this advice as well. I'm bored and had a weak moment. I need some baseball to talk about.
  21. Well there you go Hitch. What can I say that I haven't already said. And yes you are right - I do believe in saluting the flag and saying the pledge as well.
  22. I'm thinking that Hitch doesn't think that we know things like this - how about you?
  23. bizarre and overly sensitive - why so Hitch? Just a happy American here. I kind of thought that your suggestion that maybe I didn't know that capitalism existed in Europe was just a tad bizarre. I'm glad that you folks think that Canada is such great country.
  24. It is just a sad story for him. A tremendous amount of promise lost. I had no problem at all with giving him a shot at starting. Bard's inability to go back to the pen is all about him.
  25. hey notin I'm with you here but it never made much sense to me that some here have tried to blame everything bad that happened in boston on Larry when he was here as well - some of it might just happen to have something to do with who we like and who we don't when expressing our opinions I guess.
