Dojji, FA will play at the North Pole for the money! This notion of "FA have to like the place" is pure nonsense. Need to go north of 100 million plus before a guy will even consider turning down a place "he doesn't like".

What is made up, is your arbitrary ass-pull number of 5 years 17M. You have no idea what kind of extension he was looking for, or if he was even looking for an extension. A guy who has three years of control isn't turning down an 85 million dollar extension that matches the base of Matt Holdiay, you mental midget.

Not worth the Sox unloading top prospects out of the system. The Braves sent garbage, not top prospects. Prado was a guy they wanted to get rid of because he was becoming a FA, just like the Red Sox need to get rid of Ellsbury.

Sea, miss you over at BDC Boston Globe. That place is down to about 2 or 3 propaganda posters, lead by that big phony, Moonslavic.

If Victorino can hit for average and steal 30 and play his defense of old this may be an alright sign. Shane, an old man at age 33, has been thrown in 2 dumpsters before the Red Sox gave him a shocking windfall. He hasn't stolen 30 bases since 2010, and is in full decline. It will be embarrassing to watch this guy paid 13 million a year for 3 years.

It was no joke. Cherry is incompetent! This guy was thrown in two dumpsters and is in full decline. They should have never toched this guy, but now that they have they must understand that Shane's only value is in CF. They need to trade Ellsbury and would net more than the draft pick they will get when Ellsbury leaves town in a few months. Cherry's plan of incomptence, replace 30 million on Crawbust and Ellspuff with 23 million on Ellspuff and old Shane as a corner OF'er. Truly, a joke.

but he sprays to all fields from both sides You live in a fantasy world. Nava is a lefty platoon type of guy. I do think there is merit in using him as the backup 1st baseman and 5th OF'er.

You seem obvious. Ben Cherrington?

Nothing made up about it. What is made up is the notion that the Red Sox couldn't have sent better garbage trade package and acuqired J. Upton with a 5 year extesnion at about base 17M a year that would have captured the best available young OF MLB talent from age 25 to age 32, which will be his best years. You must be Cherry. Nice going, nearly 30 million for Shane and Ellsbury and Gomes. Crawford and Ellsbury for nearly 30 million in 2012 is a tough act of incomptence to follow. But you seem to have done it.

200 IP of 4.60 ball would be a massive improvement over 123 IP of 5.23 ERA. Be realistic You live in a fantasy world. Dumpster's coming from NL old pitchers retirement league dumpster and has no chance of pitching 200 innings in the AL and puttuing up 4.60 ball. Soon, it will become obvious why no other teams wanted to bid 26.5 million for Dumpster

Are you retarded? Where do you come up with this stuff? Anyways, who would be surprised if Upton didn't want to go to Boston with the fame the team has for being racist, and the Crawford fiasco. It takes a "mental midget" to discount the possibility of it being the case. In fact, it takes a mental midget to post drivel about "team racist" and "Crawford fiasco" as having anything to do with a decision to lock in about 100 million in an extension over zero from the Braves.

While the leverage point for no-trade clauses is mostly true, a lot of the teams in player's NTC's are actually cities where the player doesn't want to go It takes a mental midget to use "mostly true". Truth isn't in factions. It's true. The extension gets the waiver of the no trade, for nearly 100 million reasons. Your post is blathering contradiction.

Dumpster outproducing Beckett's 2012 will not have any impact because it won't be by much.

Wrong, mental midget, GM's construct the players who included Manny and Schilling who lead the players in production and provide the difference. Tito spitting in the dugout was exposed when those great players aged out and Tito was an embarrassment in a loser clubhouse eating fried chicken, playiing video games and drinking beer and winning zero playoff wins, for the last 3 yeras, and not getting in the playoffs at all for 2 of the last 3 yeras. We'll see what Tito produces in Cleveland, with his spitting magic.

The incompetence of the Crawbust contract cost AGon. Now, borken down platoon guy Napoli can't provide the overall defense or season long production that 1st base requires. The best they can do is use minor league contracts for Sweeney and/or Kotchman. I favor Kotchman, because he is an excellent defender at 1st. Neither can hit, though Kotchman is capable of a decent OBP. The Red Sox need to use AAA for OF depth and go with 4 OF'ers. The emergency smallest corner OF OF'er should be the Ciriaco, who absolutely should be on the active 25 man roster. The Red Sox OF is a mess.
