Okay ... we will keep Webster.
-
LA would not trade Kemp ... and especially not to the Red Sox.
-
Hard to be successful at the MLB level without control.
-
If he were wearing pinstripes I may have to make it 25. He hit how many in 2011?
-
Let's say my friend is right and it take 2 years to fully recover from a shoulder injury and in fact Ellsbury does hit 20 HR's next year and for the next 5 years. Even if this does happen it does not mean that Sox management made the incorrect decision to let Ellsbury go. With JBJ very close to being MLB ready it changes everything. If JBJ was not with the Sox then signing Ells would be a top priority. You can only have 1 CF playing CF. 20M can be used in area's of weakness ... I do not feel that CF will be that area over the next 5-6 years.

I would too ... In a New York Minute.
-
I highly doubt that the Sox will sign Drew for 24/2. Drew should find a better offer than that.
-
Alan Webster?
-
20 HR's for Ellsbury next season ... steak dinner UN?
-
Drew is becoming much more attractive to Sox fans now that he might be going to another team. Like the song 'Only know that you love her when you let her go' Sometimes no action is the right action. Without Drew Bogaerts can get mentally ready to assume the role of the Short Stop and Middlebrooks can get psyched to be the starting 3B. JBJ will be prepared to take over in Center. The team gets a lot younger but still has the leadership of Peddey, Papi, Koji, and Lester. Plus from everything that I have seen so far both Bogaerts and JBJ are a delight to be around.

True that ... my point is that when talking about the top Center Fielders when you have to take all things into consideration. What if Ellsbury were batting 3rd this year with Ortiz behind him? I would assume that he would have more RBI's and maybe more HR's. The job of the lead off player is to get on base. Set the table for the hitters behind him. The numbers that Ellsbury put up in 2011 are that much more remarkable from the lead off spot. 100+ rbi's ... 32 HR's that is unheard of.
-
Any thought of going to a 6 man rotation to begin the season assuming we have an abundance of SP coming out of Spring training. A win is a win ... who cares if our # 6 is going up an opponents # 1. Sox can put up numbers on any SP ... Wacha Wacha Wacha
-
1/3 of the time Trout played left or DH ... point is Ellsbury is a dam good lead off hitter. Trout also does not lead off. Ellsbury hit .320 when leading off. Is he worth 20m for 5 or 6 years ... maybe not when you have a stud in JBJ in the wings.

Sounds reasonable
-
Are you a fan of McCann?
-
laughing here MVP ... no posting fee for Holiday.

I did some research. No definitive number for the boat. Peavy lives in Alabama and has 3 sons. He owns a property where he can use the boat ... I would not be surprised if he lives on 50 acres with a nice body of water. This article has the boat at $115K. http://www.bizjournals.com/boston/blog/mass_roundup/2013/11/jake-peavy-duck-boat-how-much.html
-
Someone told me he paid 35K for it. The color is great ... same green as the Monster.
-
Projections are fun stuff ... they will get even better after Monday when we find out about the QO's. These things are fact: The Boston Red Sox are the 2013 World Series Champions The Boston Red Sox have one of the top farm systems talent wise The Boston Red Sox have mostly short term contracts The Boston Red Sox have a very reasonable payroll for a big market team Did I miss anything?
-
Not only that .... tell me where will Peavy drive his new Duck Boat?
-
You do not have Tanaka listed ... come on man ... get with the program. 'UserName' wants Tanaka something fierce and what UN wants UN gets.
-
Will Red Sox pursue Japanese Ace - Masahiro Tanaka?
marklmw replied to vjcsmoke's topic in Boston Red Sox Talk
The A's like your boy Anderson too http://mlb.mlb.com/news/article/mlb/oakland-as-pick-up-club-options-for-brett-anderson-coco-crisp?ymd=20131101&content_id=63613138&vkey=news_mlb We can always make a deal for him since half of the A's team are ex-Sox's -
Think of JBJ & Bogaerts and the 2014 version of Rice & Lynn. The two of them will be fun to watch for a number of years.
-
Exactly.
-
HaHaHa ... not touching this one UN ... I just do not want to be accused of wearing pink colored glasses especially since I have been going out on a limb for Tanaka. BTW one scout compared JBJ skill set to Ken Griffey ... Senior. Nothing wrong with that.
