Randy Red Sox

can you two start your own thread and take your discussion/debate/fight over there

somehow we didn't feel it was worth it to pick up a 10 million option on a 18 game winner. Better to use some of that $$ on a SP rehabbing from TJ.

yeah get the WS rings ready. Over/under on RA and AR playing 100 games

Saving $$ will make JH happy

don't count on it Brandon. Think a rehabbing SP and a depth BP piece or 2 and possibly a decent but low cost bat on a 1 yr deal.

another 1 and done Red Sox--we hardly knew you Sonny

and i am pretty sure we will miss out on all those except maybe the last one standing. I don't mind Durbin but to be honest he was a consolation prize to all we missed out on. Bregman, Alonso, Schwarber just to name 3.

sorry i am sure there is good info here but it is too long to comprehend. In any event providing a lockout doesn't affect FA I expect to hear constant reports that the Sox are interested in this guy, that guy, and some other guy but simply another Durbin type or 2 and call it an offseason. Given the last several offseaons and a low market team winning this WS why would any Sox fan expect any different? I truly expect JH to be on the side of the low market teams in negotiations this offseason. No more new shiny toys for RSN.

been trying to do that for 2 yrs now--dump Yoshida i mean. JH won't spend for a real DH

as it has been pointed out many times we should have signed Alonso AND Suarez

fair enough on point 2. i like Bennet as a 4-5 guy

trust me i know it wasn't his fault he got injured. I am simply stating he provided nothing no matter the circumstances and he certainly doesn't excite me going forward although he probably be a decent but not great player based on his career to date.

in the end the Sox got what they paid for in Durbin

and with 2 lower payroll teams in the WS this yr don't expect JH to change his way of thinking

i didn't say i didn't like Bennet as he was good but 11 ip is hardly a sample to assess
