Forum Post: Softlaw Emailed me the Following list of Washed up Poor Value Veteran Free Agents to Avoid like the Plague:
In response to southpaw777's comment: Softy didnt like my suggestion of Torii Hunter. Now hes on his "List". I thought a 1yr with a 2nd option at 8mm per would be fair. Or even a 2yr at a good price. more »

Forum Post: Red Sox skip out on Johnny Pesky’s funeral

Sorry Moon,
I should have directed my response to Tom-uk, who was asking for the name of Red Sox players who had a big year at a young age and then dropped off thereafter.

Stapleton sure did a slow fade. One really good season and downhill from there on. I was unhappy when the Sox traded Cooper, he was one of my favorite players.

Moon, The only young player who was a one year wonder I can think of was Lou Clinton (played for the Sox in the early 60's) After bouncing back and forth between the minors and the Sox for a couple of more »

Just passing on what I've read (White Sox/Blue Jays media) The Blue Jays made a run at acquiring Gavin Floyd a while back. Williams (CWS) was asking for Travis D’Arnaud (Blue Jays #1 Prospect a Catche more »

Forum Post: The Red Sox Now & the Future
Absolutely agree that the Sox can trade (for example) Crawford once he's healthy and playing reasonably well. Come the July trade deadline 10 + teams will be thinking about the post season and looking more »

Forum Post: What do you want from a catcher?
If Salty is to be traded what is the anticipated return? Clearly if he is as bad a catcher as a number of you believe he is the return won't be of any great value. In all fairness both Salty and Lavar more »

Forum Post: So, who was your favorite player as a kid?
Everything I had (bat, glove and little League uniform number) was the same as Ted Williams. Unfortunately the similarity ended there. Otherwise Frank Malzone, Rico and Tony C were my favorites. more »

Forum Post: As much as I hate to say it, if we want to improve the team...
The return on Ortiz won't bring the Sox a front line starter. The Sox do need to unload high salaries but right now Papi is one of the few players on this team earning his salary. If the Sox are selle more »

Forum Post: It's never been "The Pitching"
Trying to salvage this season by trading prospects for established players would be a mistake. The Sox need to trade veteran players and clear salary. This may have to wait until July, but a youth mov more »

Forum Post: Who could we package for an ace?
If the Sox wait until the July trade deadline trading veterans for prospects should be easier. Hopefully a number of the players mentioned above are healthy and playing well enough to have a trade val more »

Forum Post: Will Theo assemble a winner in Chicago?
With Theo you take the good with the bad. I still think Theo should have taken Crawford with him when he moved to Chicago (my idea of significant compensation)

Forum Post: Buchholz as the closer???
Is Buch really healthy? If he is, there's still the effects of finding his mechanics after being out so long last season. I'm guessing that he has to do a lot of stretching and warm up before he takes more »

Forum Post: What's mostly to blame for the Red Sox poor start?
This can be called an organizational problem. Lots of $ spent and little to no return on the investment. The question now is can this team keep it's head above water until Matsuzaka, Hill, Crawford, E more »

Not trying to put a negative spin on the above, but not signing Crawford was the do over I wish the Red sox had. Without that big contract the Sox would have had the financial resources to sign (or tr more »
