    2016 Starting Rotation/Bullpen Spillover

    So... trade off a "high-floor, low-ceiling, cheap, controllable" starter for a bullpen arm after we just signed a closer? And expect the return to be an elite, closer-caliber player PLUS a prospect? For Wade Miley? The rotation spot left open by Miley would be filled by some combination of...

    Red Sox sign David Price

    There is the possibility that DD's strategy for the team doesn't pan out over the next three years, but Price maintains his ace status. In that scenario, Price opts out in an offseason in which the Sox are looking to shed payroll and go in a different direction with regard to the rest of the...

    Red Sox sign David Price

    I was listening to the interview with Frank Wren last night and someone asked him if the Sox wanted to make anymore moves to bolster the bullpen. He said that a current Sox starter is probably going to end up in the bullpen.

    Red Sox Deadline Discussion (nothing is credible) thread

    Couldn't the scouting rumors just as easily be attributed to the Sox doing their own due diligence in case they decide to make Cueto an offer after the season?

    Old pictures of Pedro

      Yes, that's Rocco and yes, the guy that chose the purple lettering on those banners was fired the same year he put those up.

    Old pictures of Pedro

    Here's a couple others.  Mike Piazza, I believe taken the same day as Pedro.  Eric Karros, probably taken a year or two prior to the Pedro shoot and used in a similar promo.

    Old pictures of Pedro

    Hey guys,    I worked for a minor league team that, a long time ago, used to be the single A affiliate of the Dodgers when Pedro was part of their system.  My boss gave me an old desk that he thought had last been used in the mid-90s.  Inside, I found signed balls, old photos and other...

    Beyond Lester: Building a Rotation

    Why would there be a backlash? He's younger and a better pitcher and Jon Lester is off the market.

    Lester to Cubs: Rent Garments Thread

    No I call it a win. Jon Lester is great, but he's not a $26 mil per year pitcher. If that's what it would have taken (or anywhere close) then I applaud Ben for not leveraging the future payroll flexibility of this team for that. There are other options.

    Lester to Cubs: Rent Garments Thread

    I'm glad I'm not reading about Boston having just committed $26 mil per year for the next six years to one pitcher. That's a win in my book. Btw - Good luck Jon and Cubs. I'll be rooting for you, except against the Sox.
