    God, Lester is terrible.

    I would also take Pedro over Ruth in a pitching duel. My point was that Ruth could pitch and hit in the same game. If players of his era could compete with modern day players, a compelling case could be made for him.

    He'll be fine. He wouldn't be a professional athlete if he couldn't handle a little discomfort, which is all he'll be dealing with once he returns.

    Tendonitis does not always set in gradually. I know from experience that it could be rather sudden in cases where activity level is increased suddenly, such as after the All-Star break.

    Um... because they aren't aces?

    In one game? Pedro. A good smartass answer would be Babe Ruth though since he could pitch and hit. But then I imagine that some other smartass would point out that more modern players are overall more skilled because of a larger player pool, better nutrition and exercise, more variance in pitch types, etc.

    Enjoyable game, watched this one with my Pops. I suspected Ortiz aggravated his heal bursitis when it happened at the time but then the team reported that it was an Achilles injury, the two would not be related. Aaron Cook has been very impressive ever since the game where he cut his knee open.

    Lavarnway would be the obvious choice, he's hitting .299/.388/.445 in AAA right now.

    It's hard to know what James meant without context. He stated that he felt that Joe Pa should not have been the first person to go to the police but none of the text of what he's said stated that he did not feel as if Joe Pa should not have gone to the police. If he was suggesting the latter, there's no excuse for that.

    I don't think Jackie Bradley Jr. would prevent us from re-signing Ellsbury. Right field in Fenway park is very large and Bradley has a great arm which would make him ideal for the position. The Red Sox have the salary room to re-sign Ellsbury after 2013, it will probably come down to his contract demands. They currently have less than $95 million committed to 2014 and they would have Gonzalez, Crawford, Beckett, Lackey, Pedroia, Lester, Bailey, Buchholz, Bard, Aceves, Aviles, Miller, Morales, Melancon and Atchison under team control. Assuming Ellsbury would cost approximately $20 million a year, that would mean that they could sign him and have $75 million left to fill 9 25-man roster spots. Team salaries are best on 40-man rosters, but most of the players not on the 25-man make chump change.

    I'm watching Meet the Press from earlier today and the politicians are more forthcoming with their answers than Mr. Eastwood's rambling 100 word, three post response to my yes or no question. Is that you Mitt?
  14. 2004 ALCS
    That still doesn't have anything to do with why a rebuilding team would give away their best player to acquire Ellsbury, who will be a free agent after next year.

    I also followed him from the time we drafted him. However, his poor defense, mixed health and behavioral issues made him a prime trade candidate in my mind, no different than Youkilis who was also my favorite player at one point.
  16. 2004 ALCS
    Why am I not surprised?
  17. 2004 ALCS
    Exactly. I imagine that's why Mr. Eastwood has spent nearly 100 words trying to deflect my simple yes or no question which I've now asked him 3 times about whether he would have given Papelbon 4 years/$50 million at the time.
  18. 2004 ALCS
    You've not spent 3+ posts avoiding a one word answer. Either you're ridiculously stubborn or you're desperately trying to avoid the subject. WOULD YOU HAVE SIGNED PAPELBON FOR 4 YEARS/$5O MILLION OR NOT?
  19. 2004 ALCS
    What's your point? He's a great player but he's not cheap anymore and he's not under contract past 2013. Why would a rebuilding team who's trading away their best player think they could compete before 2014?
  20. 2004 ALCS
    The Phillies gave up Cliff Lee and Kyle Drabek PLUS they gave up D'Arnoud and Taylor. That trade seems to suggest my point that two of the best four young prospects is a STARTING POINT for a an elite pitcher. Not to mention, Halladay agreed to a three year extension.

    To state your opinion on the subject would have taken a fraction of the time you've taken to try to carefully avoid the subject. Would you have retained Papelbon for 4 years/$50 million or more or not? To try to deflect the question again would be borderline ridiculous. If you don't want to re-hash an old subject then simply provide a link which clearly states your former opinion the subject.
  24. 2004 ALCS
    Thank you for proving my point for providing me a list of great relievers with Papelbon not on it. I'd give you a C+ on your attempt to try to change the subject though.
