  1. I hear Robbie enjoys the rain and will enjoy his $$$$$$$$ on the west coast. CAN YOU SAY BIG HIT TO THE $PANKEES! A lot of question marks in the infield for them. Tex coming off a season in which he was hurt, Cano - I'm sorry he plays in Seattle now so its an I don't know, Jeter coming off a season in which he was hurt, and I don't know at 3B.
  2. I have a feeling that BC has a big deal going down sometime next week at the winter meetings. So I will wait until after next week to project the opening day lineup.
  3. I've heard the $panks will probably go hard after Infante because their BEST player took his bat and gloves and went to Seattle.
  4. If healthy this was a good signing for the Sox. Another reliever that throws a ton of strikes and has had some success in the closer role.
  5. A good bit of the $panks WAR in 2013 will be playing in Seattle in 2014. Besides going deep into October is about pitching and the $panks still have a lot of holes in their staff.
  6. Sox will trade a SP next week at the winter meetings to clear some $$$$. BC still needs to get an OF that can play CF and hits righty, and a left handed hitter that can play SS / 3B.
  7. With Pedey it wasn't about the money. He wants to win, and he wants to do it in Boston. With Cano it was about getting a ten year contract. I'd take Pedey over Cano every day.
  8. Nap gives Papi some protection in the lineup. His power numbers, D at 1B, and the $$$ the Sox spent its a win win. Since everything the Sox do is compared to the $panks, who would you rather have at 1B going into 2014? Nap who put up decent numbers and had big hits in October, or Tex who is coming off an injury that could effect a power hitter into next season.
  9. $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ $pankee way to build a team. Carma would allow ARod to get a ruling that would lesson his suspension to 50 games and he returns at some point in the 2014 season.
  10. Their SP sucks and they can only improve it by signing FAs because they have nothing in value to trade for any front line pitching.
  11. ESPN is reporting Ellsbury pulled a Damon and signed with the $pankees for Crawford $$$$. Unless the $panks are full of #@it that would mean that Cano is done in NY. I wouldn't put it pass them that their reaction to a Sox championship is to try to buy another one for themselves.
  12. This is the new norm for the Sox. High $$$$ for low years, and when the kids are ready plug them in. I'm okay with this deal. Both A.J. and Ross are better handling a staff then Salty and I think they will put up numbers north of what Salty did in 2013.
  13. This is so not a Cardinal move. I thought they would go after Drew before Perralta. Perralta brings so much baggage with him and it looks like they over paid to get him.
  14. For most teams Cano would be an upgrade at 2B, but the $$$$ and years he is asking for eliminates most of those teams. $pankees know this and are allowing Cano to try to create his own market. I think they know he wants to stay and he will end up back with them. Ellsbury makes no cense for them because they already have Gardner in CF.
  15. Amen! That luxury tax pledge was a bunch of BS! I thought the $pankees had high minor league catching prospects. I guess that too was a bunch of BS. I never saw a team that so over rated their prospects. 5/85 to a 30 year old catcher who is coming off a season in which he was hurt. If healthy it is a huge upgrade at the catcher position. If last years injury is the start of a catcher breaking down then this will be another contract that the $panks will be wishing they didn't have in a couple of seasons.
  16. Do the Sox extend Lester this off season or do they wait? I think the FO extends Lester and he leads the staff for another five years.
  17. Reds didn't get a lot of offence from Hanigan last year. Though it would be an upgrade with the D, I think this is a Plan C in case the catching market dries up quickly. As soon as McCann signs the rest of the FA catchers will quickly follow and if the Sox can't grab someone then Hanigan would become an option.
  18. You don't see where the Sox see Carp is an option to play 1B full time. I could see if some team over paid for Nap and he walked where the Sox might platoon Carp with a right handed 1B like a Hart. The Sox got so much production out of the LF platoon I could see a Plan B platoon being an option at 1B. Still think Plan A is resigning Nap.
  19. Fielder trade is a positive for the Sox. It makes one less team that would be after Nap. Is not hearing anything a good thing or a bad thing? Naps solid D makes the strikeouts easier to deal with so I can't see why the Sox would shut the door. Unless the years he is asking for is out of the Sox way of doing things now. Right handed power is in short supply and Naps bat would be missed.
  20. Kemp has a lot of $$$$$ left for six more seasons. I can't see the Sox getting involved in this unless the Dodgers eat a lot of salary. If they were going to invest that much in a CF why not just keep Ellsbury. The Sox are just kicking tires here. Still see them signing a right handed CF with a solid glove to platoon with JBJ.
  21. The $pankees would love this if the Sox did this. Why wouldn't the Sox FO take another run at it? The Sox will continue to operate like they did last season.
  22. Has been a really slow start to the hot stove. I think most fans would love to have Ellsbury back, but we all know the chance of that is very slim. Unless everyone has misread the market Ellsbury will not be back in Boston.
  23. Hart is an Arizona guy. From what I have read I don't think he wants to play on the east coast. His right handed power would be interesting in Fenway. How is his D and does he strike out as much as Nap?
  24. $310 million is a joke! Cano will stay with the $pankees because no one else is going to pay him anything close to what he is asking for. I hope they do give him a ten year contract which turn into another Arod contract.
  25. I have heard that the Sox have a multi-year offer to Nap, and he has said he wants to see what is out there. The Sox in turn have quickly become interested in Carlos Beltron. A Sox signing of him would end Naps stay in Boston. It is amusing to see both sides find a way to use signing elsewhere, or signing someone else against each other.
