    Vazquez Placed On The 60 Day DL

    This is horrible news. I was really looking forward to Vasquez shutting down the running game this year. I do think we should look to bolster the Hannigan/Quintero corps. I'm in love with Hanigan as s backup and I don't want to see Quintero's name penciled in at all. I'd be very intrigued to...

    Beyond Lester: Building a Rotation

      The Lester situation has given me a lot of confidence in this front office. I was concerned that they would drastically overpay, but they stuck to their valuation. They showed discipline. They knew the chances of bringing him back with their offer, knowing that there was likely seven years out...

    Return of the Jedi?

    Not 1 to 2. The fifth spot is all I'm asking for. Many should start in Pawtucket, and no that isn't travesty at all. You do need 7-10 pitchers to get through a year. Maufman, totally agree on Workman being more destined to the pen. and, I would agree cost controlled bullpen help is a good thing...

    Return of the Jedi?

    I've seen something similar proposed ad nauseum this offseason. Why would the Red Sox sign three pitchers this offseason. They have Webster and RDLR who really need a shot to start this year (certainly, at least one of them does). There is depth behind them (Workman, Ranuado, Barnes, Wright)...

    The premature re-signing Lester thread

    It seems to nod add up. He ripped the Stanton news from someone else and he gave a hat tip to someone else today on one of the signings. It has seemed to go to his head a little with all the details on the Lester negotiations. Dude has been a fly on the wall. Amazingly entertaining. Hard to...

    The premature re-signing Lester thread

    What are the chances the little one just pulled stuff out of his butt/plagiarized the twitterverse yesterday?

    Red Sox & Pablo Sandoval agree to 5 Year, $100 Millionish Deal

    Heart will always be in San Francisco? I hate him already even before he takes any crazy hacks. JK! Those are the kind of notes you love seeing a guy put out when he heads out of town. Keeping it classy. Now bring your chubby butt, above average glove, above average bat, and solid clubhouse...

    Second Guesser's Club - I Need A Scorecard Now

      Funny you should bring this up. I just ran into Nick Cafardo on my way back from the 7-11 and he says that his connections in the Liverpool front office tell him that due primarily to how awesome the catch sounded on the radio the Red Sox will be abandoning the half season investment in JBJ...

    June 5th 6pm: MLB Draft Game Thread

    Do folks have a sense of some appealing prospects that remain out there on day 3? Players that have slipped to bonus demands, injury, and the like?

    2014 Draft Game Day 2

      Not knowing anything about the Pat's strategy, and while also being completely disappointed by the pick, I'm going with: JG = player that was highest on their board.?.

    McAdam: Lavarnway on the trade block

      Potentially not a lot to see here: http://mlb.mlb.com/news/article/was/nationals-catcher-wilson-ramos-injures-hand-x-rays-negative?ymd=20140331&content_id=70526270&vkey=news_was

    David Ortiz Extended!

    The Papi-Manny duo made for some good times, but in the "nothing was more fun to watch" category, there was a recent Sox that was certainly more fun (or maybe not, because it was so unfair): Pedro '99-00: That man was walking on water.

    Extending Lester

      5/90 might have got this done in the honeymoon period after the World Series or in the beginning of the offseason, but 5/100 looks to be about the floor now after an offseason that saw the largest pitching contract in history handed out, 175 M paid to someone that hasn't thrown a pitch in the...

    Drew v. 2.0

      Fixed that...     Well, you know if they brought back Drew, AND rotated Xander between 3B/SS and WMB between 3B/2B they could probably find 500 ABs for each of 'em.

    Shin-Soo Choo: Manny without the power?

    The emerging details... http://rangersblog.dallasnews.com/2013/12/source-texas-rangers-agree-to-contract-with-shin-soo-choo.html/     We've talked about the differences between state income tax many times on this board. So, I found this tidbit pretty interesting...
