UN ... do you happen to play Texas Hold-em?
-
Come on Palodios you had better start arguing for Cano .... you are an intelligent guy.
-
Are you going to be this way with Napoli too. Are you going to be upset when Napoli provides a value of 15M on his 45M 3 yr. contract? Do you think that Cano can provide value from ages 31-35 ... his first five years? Anyway its been settled ... Sox will offer Cano a 200M/8 contract and leave it up to the Yankees to meet or better it. If Cano falls the the Sox we will be forced to find a way to make it work even if we have to move Pedey to 1B ... Pedey would play with lifts in his shoes if it was best for the team.
-
The Cano to the Red Sox caper does not end until UN tells me that I am a brilliant for coming up with it.
-
You do realize that Votto signed a contract that pays him 20M per for 40 years.
-
^ Very Funny UN .... Very Funny!
-
Unfortunately we cannot use those years for Ortiz .. the entire league was roiding then ... you can see in those years how many players were hitting 40 HR's.
-
my bad ... I meant Pedro not Ortiz approaching the FO. As they say the rest is history. How many more HR's would Ortiz have playing in the Stadium?
-
Money aside UN ... would you like to see Cano in the Sox lineup next season?
-
Try comparing the last 5 seasons and you will see fairly similar numbers between Cano and Ortiz.
-
Very rarely will the FO go to signed players and ask their opinion. Ortiz as a player may have approached the FO which is entirely different and still rare.
-
It has no bearing at all. FO does not ask players for their input
-
BTR ... no doubt that we got a terrific deal with Pedroia ... playing baseball for the Red Sox is more than the money for Pedey ... he puts in more hours at the ballpark than any other player in the majors. With Pedey it is all about winning and if you asked him if the FO should sign Cano I bet he would be the first to say Hell Yes!!!!
-
For which season .... is this his career average? Remember that Ortiz has been linked to roids and Cano .... never. You really need to adjust for those monster seasons
-
Yes he is. Pull up their numbers and compare side by side. Ortiz had some impressive HR seasons but in all likelihood Ortiz was Roiding at the time. No one hits like Ortiz in the clutch however. That is true. Still not a reason not to sign Cano.
-
Bellhorn ... stay with me my man. The premise is that the Yankees will not pay Cano 200M ... if we set our limit at 200M and our FO is comfortable with that we will not be bidding against the Yankees. If the Yankees end up going higher then end of story. My idea is that if Boston can acquire Cano for 200/8 we should do it. We are in a much better position than NY to sign Cano at 200M
-
If that is the case why did we just extend Pedroia to age 38? Cano moves to 1B and lives there happily ever after ... well for 8 seasons anyway. The guy can hit. He might be a better hitter than Ortiz.
-
It's a nice thought .... the problem there however is that we have to give up our top prospects ... not so with Cano.
-
Do not forget Bogaerts, WMB/Cecchini, Nava,
-
Cano can probably play 3B for 2 to 3 seasons then 1B for 3 to 4 seasons ... and then DH if it comes to that. I think that he would make a nice 1B for the full 8 years.
-
Cano played 2013 at age 30 ... he will be 38 when he finishes ... younger then when Ortiz finishes. Being in the AL and having a DH makes signing Cano all the more logical.
-
We are talking 1B initially and can transition to DH. 1B is a 20 yard jog from the dugout.
-
There is no evidence that Cano's health is going to break down in the next 8 years. Ortiz is carrying how much greater body fat than Cano and Papi is still putting up the numbers. Cano is in very good shape. Miggy has never been in top shape. I will bet a steak dinner that Cano will be putting up Ortiz type numbers 8 years from now.
-
Well that does it then ... BTR says bad idea ... I will begin my quest for another interesting topic of discussion.
-
Well UN ... we have been over this before ... We all know jack s*** compared with the FO. But you agree that it is an interesting discussion and that is the entire point of having this forum to begin with ... is it not?
