^Very Funny BTR

A full day has passed since I learned of Ellsbury going to the NYY's. I was pissed yesterday but no longer. The Yankees have no pitching next season ... none ... Cano is going to sign with Seattle ... The Sox will sign Napoli to a 3 year deal. Bogaert's is going to put up a 5.5 WAR next year. WMB is going to put up a 5 WAR ... Napoli is going to put up a 4.5 WAR and win a gold glove. JBJ will put up a 3.5 WAR and A.J. & Ross will combine for a 3 WAR. The Sox will win the Division by 4 games over Baltimore. The Yankees will finish in the basement. Sox defeat the Tigers once again in 6 and go on to defeat the Dodgers in 7. Guys and Gals ... we are going to have a blast next season.

Hey ... RSR ... that's a low blow.
-
Hey UN ... I would like to know what you think what the next moves for the Sox should be?
-
The Yankees have so much money that they can manage to be competitive even with all their terrible contracts. Ellsbury is going to have a great 2014 season and if he stays healthy he will justify the contract. A big 'If' I know.
-
Hitch ... if you really want to know what moves the Sox should or should not make just listen to me. Do yourself a favor and never listen to UN or MVP.
-
Our next great lead-off base-stealer will be Mookie Betts. If the FO does not do anything foolish and trade the lad away. He will be converted to the outfield and arrive in 2016.
-
I will be willing to take on Kemp as a Dodger Salary dump only and not giving up any of our top prospects. We can send Webster back is all. What would make Kemp an interesting addition is that he can play any of the outfield spots or I would imagine he can also handle 1B.

^ Very funny stuff Palodios ... maybe I will see you on Jay Leno one day soon
-
Because of Kemp's injury history I would never give up Cecchini and Ranaudo for him. I think the Red Sox FO should be very careful dealing with LA. We bested them so badly with the AGon, Crawford, Beckett dump that my gut is telling me that taking Kemp off their hands will in the end help even the score. Cecchini is our next Wade Boggs, Bett's in our next Ellsbury. Ellsbury is gone ... JBJ will do fine. I had a good night of sleep. Stay the course.

Are you trying to cheer me up? It's working.
-
Salty should have taken the 2/18 from the Sox. Bad career move. I am happy that he didn't however.
-
This makes no sense ... we will be playing against the Dodgers in the WS in 2014. How about I hope that Cano signs with Seattle.
-
Hello Hitch, This was a very thoughtful post. You are certainly insightful on the sport of baseball. I need to hear your words as loosing Ellsbury (my favorite player) was painful ... more so because it was the Yankees who we play against 19 times every year and compete with for the Division title as well. The Yankees always are raiding our players and it gets tiring. I think that baseball would benefit greatly by making it more painful on teams that exceed the annual payroll tax.
-
You are dead wrong about JBJ. You are right about Ellsbury however. I was explaining to my wife this morning that I feel like I felt when I went through a divorce 16 years ago. I do not mind Ellsbury getting his big payday but to do it with the spankmee's is just plain wrong. Detroit, Seattle, Texas would be fine ... but not the NYY. I think that the Luxury tax needs more teeth.
-
This signing is stupid and was done just to put a hurt on the 2013 World Champion Red Sox. I hope that Cano signs elsewhere, the Sox sign Napoli & Tanaka and repeat, while at the same time the Yankees finish last in the division.
-
I like Stanton ... what will it cost in prospects ... a lot.
-
Me likie BTR
-
Let's grab Tanaka ... deal Dempster for prospects, sign Napoli ... JBJ has a high ceiling and he will go great in CF next season.
-
Wow ... interesting. Let's hope that Cano signs someplace else and the Sox sign Tanaka & Napoli.
-
Ellsbury could not find work with another club ... he had to sign with the Yankees. I curse him now.
-
Ok UN ... nothing personal against you ... just let me fume for a day or two.
-
Ell's is worth 20M per all day long. At least for 6 of the 7 years.
-
Right on Fred!
-
I can see signing Cano but Cano and Nap's ... things will be getting a bit crowded won't they. James is projecting some solid numbers for WMB next year.
