    This is what happens in the dead of winter when the hot stove has gone cold.

    The gift of ARods one year suspension couldn't come at a better time for the $pankees. They would have to be the leaders to get Tanaka. It would be sweat if they didn't get him.
  3. Behindenemylines
    Wouldn't it be funny if the Sox sneak in and get Tanaka from the $panks. They could also be just trying to raise the cost of signing Tanaka.
  4. Behindenemylines
    I would like to see ARod win his arbitration case and get it reduced to 50 games. That would mess up the $pankees plans because they already have plans to spend that money.
  5. Behindenemylines
    I will pledge not to say that again if the $panks stay with their 189 million pledge. A budget is only a budget if you stick to it.

    Drew could have taken the CO and get a $5 million raise and return to the World Champions. The Drew camp is not the only FA that the draft compensation is effecting.
  7. Behindenemylines
    Based on this thread you can tell the Hot Stove has cooled.

    I think Bradley will be great with the glove in CF and if the Sox bat him 9th I think he will be okay. I don't expect to be great with the bat, but I really think he is going to be okay.
  9. Behindenemylines
    In a way he did by taking the home town discount early and avoiding the FA opportunity. He had to know he could have gotten more on the open market. This is why the Nation loves this guy, and when it is all said and done he will go down as one of the greatest Sox ever.

    Get to Fenway early and enjoy everything that is going on outside and inside the Park. It is the mecca!
  11. Behindenemylines
    Its the Dice-K situation they went through that might keep the Sox from even thinking about getting involved. As good as Darvish was last year he still broke down a little coming down the stretch. MLB teams have to take into consideration how the Japanese pitchers are handled differently over there.
  12. Behindenemylines
    If the Sox bring up Cecchini they will use him like they did Bogaerts in 2013. The more he shows that he is ready for more playing time the more he will get. A lot also depends on what WMB does. If he gets off to a good start there is no reason to rush Cecchini, but a slow start by WMB might mean we see him earlier. I think Cecchini is going to be a keeper.
  13. Behindenemylines
    Unless the Sox move some $$$$ they have no choice then to sit on the side. I haven't heard anyone come out and say it, but is Tanaka better then Darvish?
  14. Behindenemylines
    I agree. I think what Pedrioa did is the exception (taking less to stay) and not the norm.
  15. Behindenemylines
    The one big difference was O-Cab proved he could play under the bright lights of Boston, and there were many who doubted whether Renteria could. That proved to be true. Comparing stats of one player to another doesn't always tell the full story. I think this was a Theo mistake.
  16. Behindenemylines
    Be thankful that both are under team control for awhile and the Sox don't have to deal with that situation for awhile. If Bogaerts does explode and become the star we all hope he becomes do you lock him up long term with a big contract?
  17. Behindenemylines
    Cano was their best player last year. If you look at their current roster who is their best player now? I always hated seeing him come up in a big spot against the Sox. I think Papi was right when he said they made a big mistake letting him walk.
  18. Behindenemylines
    The Sox having the two veteran catchers on one year contracts means that they have a lot of confidence in their young catching prospects Vazquez and Swihart. This is a lot different then what the $pankees did to their young catching prospects by signing McCann. Makes you think that once again they have over valued their prospects.
  19. Behindenemylines
    The only way the $pankees can stay under the $189 and still be a consistant playoff contender is to mix in players from their farm system with their FA signings. Since their farm system is a mess right now that is hard for them to do. If the A-Rod ruling comes out and the suspension is reduced in half then they will be right up against that $189 again with numerous holes in their pitching.
  20. Behindenemylines
    Since the Sox aren't in the hunt it would be nice to see someone else besides the $pankees land Tanaka. I've read he wants to play on the west coast, and that the Cubs have a strong interest in him.
  21. Behindenemylines
    Orlando Cabrera was the SS that gave the spark. He wasn't the greatest , but his chemistry within the 2004 roster seem to work big time. I always wondered why they let him walk after the 2004 season. Though not a great player, he was a solid player. We now know what happened at SS over the next few years.
  22. Behindenemylines
    Cano did the same to the $pankees. Cano could have probably become an all-time great with them, but having the opportunity to break the bank and be set for life is the way the modern players look at things. It is getting very rare where the top players stay in one place their whole career. Can't blame Ellsbury for taking the $$$$, but we don't have to like it.
  23. Behindenemylines
    There are rumors floating around that the $pankees have interest in Balfour. They question whether they think Robertson can do the job. I to see them be able to sure up their bullpen by throwing $$$$ at the problem.
  24. Behindenemylines
    Hopefully, the rumor of him wanting to play on the west coast are true. Better yet him signing with the Cubs would be great. I hate to see the $pankees get a quick fix by throwing $$$$$ at a problem.
  25. Behindenemylines
    The signing of the high ticket players will continue to hurt the $pankees minor league system as their draft picks end up going to other teams.
