    it's not Dave's fault but people are all too happy to blame him for it. so yeah, blame the guy that got us three straight ALEast titles and a WS, but not the ******** billionaire owner that decided he wanted to run the team like the Rays. DD wins a WS then finishes third and gets fired for it. now we celebrate Bresloverpay for finishing third. LOL. THE PROBLEM is Henry and his change in philosophy, not DD.

    i'd take a 30th ranked farm and a world series championship any f***in' day. now we have (or did have) a top ranked farm and what has it got you?
  3. Duran Is The Man
    i miss Dave.

    that's it. when Henry thinks the 41st highest contract is too much, then f*** him, he needs to go.
  5. Duran Is The Man
    Alonso's contract is currently the 41st highest in dollars. if Henry thinks a contract like his is too much, then he needs to go.
  6. Duran Is The Man
    was she hawt?
  7. Duran Is The Man
    i think you just traded away 3/5 of our starting pitching.
  8. Duran Is The Man
    they could easily afford Alonso, but they chose not to. most likely they thought his cost was too high. this is the problem....Henry still thinks it's 2005 when it comes to payroll. the contract Alonso signed with the Orioles was not absurd and ranks as the 41st highest in MLB in terms of overall dollars. the Red Sox highest contract (in overall dollars) belongs to Garret Crochet at $170M. this is just 36th in the league. in my mind, it's inexcusable for a team like the Red Sox with the revenue they have to not be more aggressive. it they had the revenue of the Rays or Marlins or Pirates, i'd understand. in fact, there are 22 teams that spend a greater share of their revenue on payroll than the Sox, including the A's, Rockies, Royals, Twins and Mariners.

    you need to look again. there are probably a couple dozen contracts greater than Peterson and O'Neill.
  11. Duran Is The Man
    the thing about is they know they need some power in the middle of the lineup and they tell everybody they're looking for players to fill their needs and then fail in every case to make a competitive offer. they're just not being serious players in the FA market. why even bother if you're not going to be serious? it just makes them look cheap, greedy, incompetent and disingenous.
  12. Duran Is The Man
    it's not entitlement to want your team to do all they can to win.
  13. Duran Is The Man
    it was equally delusional for the Red Sox to give the Dodgers anything for May, yet they did in what most considered a massive overpay by the Sox.
  14. Duran Is The Man
    lots or reports on X that the Red So will not give long term deals to free agents. so....we'll never get another impact player through free agency ever again. f*** John Henry.
  15. Duran Is The Man
    just saw that.
  16. Duran Is The Man
    really good.
  17. Duran Is The Man
    you must be one of Henry's 39 vice-presidents.
  18. Duran Is The Man
    you see the glass half full, i see it as bone dry with a hole in the bottom. Narvaez was a blind squirrel finds an acorn deal that actually worked out. i'll give them that one. trading Yorke for Priester was a good trade. giving him to Milwaukee for nothing was stupid beyond words. Fajardo and Sandlin are TBD. i hope Gray works out. Oviedo....who knows? he's another in a long line of desperation moves they hope pans out. the return in the Devers and Sale trades was absolutely f***ing horrible. then trading James Tibbs III (the one guy i thought might make it someday) from that trade for a few months of Dustin May. AYFKM??
  19. Duran Is The Man
    he's certainly not afraid to make them -good or bad. i won't go over all the trades as i know Moon has done this many times, but, in my mind, the Crochet trade was the only good trade. and we paid a heavy price in that deal.
  20. Duran Is The Man
    i saw Geno play several games last year when the Mariners were in KC. i'd be fine with him at third.
  21. Duran Is The Man
    ownership being tight-fisted is one thing -and that's on JH. making horrible trades is on Breslow.
  22. Duran Is The Man
    agree. i was 100% on the Breslow bandwagon. until the big wheel on the left side fell off.
  23. Duran Is The Man
    it's a fair take. Breslow's handling of the Devers situation has done a great deal of harm. we had a promising infield, then one little piggy got hurt, one little piggy went to SF, one little piggy stayed home and one went wee wee wee all the way to the bank.
  24. Duran Is The Man
    i wasn't talking about Campbell.
  25. Duran Is The Man
    we lost just a little bit more than cash and draft picks; we lost the "face of the franchise" and 30+HRs a year.
