  1. New York media is saying one of the reasons Cano left was because he had some problems with the way Girardi used him. The New York media is quickly turning on this guy. He went from the next great $pankee to a selfish player who was all about the $$$$$.
  2. His D at first was also a positive for the Sox. You can live with the Ks if he is putting up the decent power numbers and giving you solid glove at 1B.
  3. Its funny that the $pankee fans are all over Cano on New York sports talk radio for taking the big $$$$$ that the Mariners were waving at him, yet they have no problem when the $panks doing the same thing. Listening to it, it was like they felt how dare a player of Cano's ability leave New York. By the way Cano looked good with his beard and Mariner uniform. Between his comments and the beard he did take some shots at the $panks.
  4. With two older catchers I think Lavarnway will get a chance to prove himself sometime next summer. If he doesn't produce then Vazquez will be the one young catcher in 2015 or possibly earlier if Lavarnway production is that bad.
  5. Choo is going to want 7 years and at $18 mil per, the answer is a NO! He is not worth that investment for the Sox.
  6. Sox -Yankee tickets are like gold. Good luck finding tickets because a trip to Fenway for the kids is something they will remember the rest of their lives.
  7. It has not stopped them before. The $pankees are like a college student with their parent's credit card on a shopping spree. If it looks good and is for sale the $pankees will buy it. They reacted the same way after 2007.
  8. I get the feeling after what the Sox went though with Dice K they are going to shy away from Tanaka. They use the excuse that they are heavy with SP and the need is not there. Plus the $pankees need for SP will make them go pretty hard for him. If he is posted it would surprise me if the $pankees don't sign him.
  9. I thought Christmas at Fenway happened in the end of October with the third title in ten years.
  10. Ellsbury is a very good player, but he is not a 20 million plus a year player. The $pankees did over pay him. This is a player that had one MVP type season, but has been hurt a lot over the last four years. People argue that they were freak injuries with him running into people. For him to be the effective player he is he has to play that style and that causes his chance to be injuried to grow. If he doesn't play all out then he becomes a less effective player. It was his all out effort for a ball that caused his collision with Beltre and his all out effort to break up a play against the Rays that causes the Ray's fielder to fall on him. Its his sppedd and all out style that makes him the player he is.
  11. If they didn't give one of their own that type of $$$$$ they are not bringing a FA from another team for that kind of $$$$$.
  12. I think the Sox roster is set except for the left handed hitting infielder that can play the right side (Drew?) and possibly a right handed hitting OF that can play CF. The excess of SP will be sorted out in spring training when injuries occur and other teams needs for SP grows. Unless Marlins finally give in and make Stanton available I can't see the Sox making any other major moves.
  13. I think its Cano's power numbers that the $pankees are going to miss. No way Ellsbury is going to hit more HRs or drive in more runs then Cano did.
  14. I'm hearing that he would take a Pedey hometown discount to stay in Boston long term. With the $pankees lefty heavy lineup we need Lester and an improving Doubrount.
  15. With the $pankees signing of Ellsbury let the JBJ era begin.
  16. Living in Jersey I see a lot of $pankee games and there are a lot of pitchers that have that surprised look on their face when a ball leaves the park in RF. It is where pop ups turn into homeruns.
  17. I can't remember when the $pankees best player took his bat and gloves and went to play with someone else. It hasn't happened in my life time. A lineup without Cano looks a lot more pitchable though.
  18. I hear Robbie enjoys the rain and will enjoy his $$$$$$$$ on the west coast. CAN YOU SAY BIG HIT TO THE $PANKEES! A lot of question marks in the infield for them. Tex coming off a season in which he was hurt, Cano - I'm sorry he plays in Seattle now so its an I don't know, Jeter coming off a season in which he was hurt, and I don't know at 3B.
  19. I have a feeling that BC has a big deal going down sometime next week at the winter meetings. So I will wait until after next week to project the opening day lineup.
  20. I've heard the $panks will probably go hard after Infante because their BEST player took his bat and gloves and went to Seattle.
  21. If healthy this was a good signing for the Sox. Another reliever that throws a ton of strikes and has had some success in the closer role.
  22. A good bit of the $panks WAR in 2013 will be playing in Seattle in 2014. Besides going deep into October is about pitching and the $panks still have a lot of holes in their staff.
  23. Sox will trade a SP next week at the winter meetings to clear some $$$$. BC still needs to get an OF that can play CF and hits righty, and a left handed hitter that can play SS / 3B.
  24. With Pedey it wasn't about the money. He wants to win, and he wants to do it in Boston. With Cano it was about getting a ten year contract. I'd take Pedey over Cano every day.
  25. Nap gives Papi some protection in the lineup. His power numbers, D at 1B, and the $$$ 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.
