    I just stated what Breslow said. I think I already knew about HR long before Breslow came around.
  2. Old Red
    I already showed you an accepted deal for Neto.
  3. Old Red
    Like I always said is that you don’t get a year back, and waiting for next year might not turn out as well as you hoped, and planned for, because there are no guarantees. Yes the so called overpay term gets used way to much IMO despite what BTV says.
  4. Old Red
    As Breslow. said HR wins postseason games. I agree with what you are saying, and this way may turn out better than with Bregman, Alonso, or Raffy, and if it does Breslow will be applauded, but if it don’t he will be chastised for not having a better plan like getting a power bat, or two.
  5. Old Red
    I didn’t say anything of the sort. I just said I’m not as concerned as most on here on whom the Red Sox trade like Duran, or Abreu, or some of the suspects.
  6. Old Red
    I agree, and as I mentioned at the time I think the offer to Alonso would have been better if the Red Sox knew at the time they wouldn’t be getting Bregman.
  7. Old Red
    That’s for you, but I would rather have Neto than Durbin. Yes I know Neto would have cost more to get, and more to keep, but I’m not concerned about that like most are on here.
  8. Old Red
    No! I said Alonso was their first choice for 1B, but Bregman was Plan A above EVERYTHING else. Alonso was ready to sign first as Moon already pointed out, so once again NO.
  9. Old Red
    Several attempts sounds serious to me. I trust McAdams on this.
  10. Old Red
    I agree on the Alonso, and Bregman scenario.
  11. Old Red
    Yes Devers had called out Breslow before, which was pretty much telling him to do his job, and get the team some pitching.
  12. Old Red
    Once again I agree. What looks so good on paper, and what actually plays out could be two different things.
  13. Old Red
    Once again I get all that, but the Red Sox went after Alonso first, and Ranger is not on the team if Bregman who was their ist choice was signed. Like I said it all may work out for the best, but then again it might not.
  14. Old Red
    I get all that, but it still seems the Red Sox made several attempts to get him.
  15. Old Red
    I think this is a good way to look at it. I’ll be interested to see how the Cro Man does this year after his first heavy workload last year. I also think it will be hard for the Chapman-Whit duo to duplicate last year. Depth has also been a big issue the past few years, and that should be better this year.
  16. Old Red
    If, if, if. MH accepted Neto, for Anthony, and Tolle.
  17. Old Red
    I already explained that.
  18. Old Red
    Not the same thing. The Red Sox wanted O Cab, so it wasn’t a settle.
  19. Old Red
    That’s fine too, and yes I’d take Durbin in that scenario too.
  20. Old Red
    The point being that it seems the REd Sox apparently wanted Neto pretty bad, and didn’t get him. I believe Alonso was their ist choice for 1B, and didn’t get him. Bregman was their Plan A above everything else, and didn’t get him. Didn’t get him is the theme here.
  21. Old Red
    Of course what the Angels wanted mattered, and that’s why the Red Sox didn’t get Neto. It’s over now, and the Red Sox got Durbin, so that’s why I said it doesn’t matter now.
  22. Old Red
    As I keep saying after the Red Sox settle once again that everything may work out alright, but once again the Red Sox who took several swings at trading for Neto according to McAdams did not get someone they really wanted. No we don’t know the Angels asking price, so it doesn’t matter now. This gives some another comparison during the season between Durbin, and Neto.
  23. Old Red
    Wouldn’t he have 4 years of control? Of course that $4M would get higher every year. Sounds like the Red Sox really wanted him though.
  24. Old Red
    They did say that Story wore down at the end last season, so I expect especially with IKF around Story will get more time off this year.
  25. Old Red
    Because the Red Sox have already come out, and said Story is the SS.
