    Why are you always ragging on our beloved Red Sox? Tearing our team apart is not going to make your team any better. I have my concerns about Koji, but if he can't close, I'm sure that the Sox will find someone else, either internally or externally, who can. As has been stated many times, BPs are a crapshoot. Just as easily as someone who was lights out last year might be meh this year, someone who was meh last year might be lights out this year. To me, it seems that most of the best closers aren't the high-priced free agents, but rather the no name guys who seem to come out of nowhere.

    LOL I Googled him. Even if I were old enough to know who he was, he plays the wrong sport, so I probably wouldn't know who he was anyway. If it makes you feel any better, I mix names up all the time.

    And I'm glad you're enjoying yourself in the Florida sunshine. Go Betts!

    I was teasing about cheering up, but I wish you would quit sounding so negative in your pitching reports. I don't think it's as bad as you make it sound.

    Obviously, things are going well for the Yankees so far in ST. IMO, the talent of the rotation has never been a question. It will come down to whether they can stay healthy or not.

    Since his return from injury, Castillo has been making it tough for the FO to send him down. I still think he's the odd man out though.
  7. Kimmi
    Ah, well that makes sense. Farrell has hinted that he wants 2 lefties in the pen for the lefty stacked Philly and Yankee line ups that we'll be facing in our first 2 series. I am pretty sure Breslow and Layne will both be on the Opening Day roster.
  8. Kimmi
    I don't think they will trade Betts either. I absolutely agree with the idea of signing a free agent pitcher over having to give up prospects and money to acquire a pitcher through trade.
  9. Kimmi
    Agreed, twinsie.
  10. Kimmi
    I don't know who Bobby Layne is, but I would have to agree with the two of you. As of now, I think he would serve the team better as starting pitching depth than he would as a reliever.

    Thank you for posting this. I was going to post the same thing. And thanks for being another voice of reason.

    I have seen touches of optimism in your posts Fred. You're starting to scare me. ;-) As far as who our starting 9 are, I think that will have more to do with who has options rather than with favoritism. FTR, Hamels has not been that impressive this spring.
  13. Kimmi
    The encouraging sign there is that Masterson's GB/FB ratio was more in line with what he typically induces over his last outing. To steal a post from a good poster on another site, Buccholz, Porcello, Miley, and Masterson have combined for a 3.34 ERA so far this spring. That's not too shabby. Cheer up! It's not the end of the world!

    Heaven forbid we should start off 0-3...
  15. Kimmi
    I know you're not worried Pruneface. As you said, if the starting 5 falter, we have some young talent who could get the job done, or we have certainly have the pieces and money to trade for a pitcher if need be. As far as the flabby drunken streaker goes, I guess it's a good thing that the stations will no longer show these guys on air. LOL

    Jacko, you have made some very good posts in this thread regarding your organization, and I agree with most of what you've said. I have always felt that Cashman could be a very good GM if he were given more autonomy. I think that he is too often overruled by Levine and the Steinbrenners. Also, while his offseason moves are often questionable, he seems to have the knack for making some very good inseason moves. That really kind of ticks me off, actually.
  17. Kimmi
    I agree Fred. If the Sox win a WS this year or next, the Yankees will throw caution to the wind and go on a spending spree the following offseason. Who knows, they might even hit panic mode as early as this trade deadline.
  18. Kimmi
    LOL The Yankees don't need to try very hard to make asinine signings. They have that task pretty well mastered. ;-)
  19. Kimmi
    I know he's young and doesn't have much MLB experience, but I'm on board with Farrell on that one.
  20. Kimmi
    I know some people were against that trade, but Beckett and Lowell helped bring us a championship. In my eyes, that makes the trade worth it. Who knows if we would have won a title with Hanley and Sanchez. As they say, a bird in the hand is worth two in the bush.
  21. Kimmi
    At this point, it's also wise to wait and see what our real strengths and weaknesses are going to be. Maybe our starting pitching is pleasantly surprising and we don't need to add a top pitcher. Maybe someone gets injured (heaven forbid) and we need the depth at a position more than we need pitching.
  22. Kimmi
    I think the FO pretty much views Betts and Swihart as untouchables right now. That said, things could change depending on what the team shows us the first few months of the season. If Castillo or Vazquez prove themselves as the real deal, and pitching proves to be a real need, then Betts or Swihart would become more expendable. I would hate to see it, but I would understand it.
  23. Kimmi
    I read that the Yankees plan to be under the luxury tax limit in two years. Ha! That plan lasted for one offseason last time, then panic set in, and the Yanks reverted back to what they know best.
  24. Kimmi
    What you don't want the FO doing is making a panic move. That will undoubtedly come back to bite them in the rear over the long run. Ben does not strike me as the panicking type, thank goodness. Patience people, patience.
  25. Kimmi
    Vavaro, I think, is a virtual lock for a BP spot. I've read that he could end up being the steal of the offseason. I believe the Sox are already discussing the possibility of Barnes in the pen. I would guess that Escobar might see some time in the pen also, if needed. I would not expect to see the others in there.
