Bay could barely play the tiny LF at Fenway. Good luck

I've been asking this same question for three years now.

Lot's of talking back and forth over this Beltran surgery. The biggest problem with the whole thing is the person named BorASS.

Lincecum wants $13 mil in arbitration, a record for a player eligible his first time.

After two consecutive Cy Youngs...I say he's earned it.

Plus, he is still very young. They better lock him up while they can.

I agree.

Here's where the quandry is. He's had less than 3 years of experience in the league, and while he's been nothing short of amazing so far, I've read that there are questions about how long he'll hold up with his violent motion. My Twins had a guy like that...Francisco Liriano, and he's still trying to get his mojo back.

As for my Twinkies, I like resigning Pavano, and the trade for Hardy. But what they really need is a consistent presence at 3rd. They have a prospect who is supposed to be a stud (Valencia), but he's not ready yet. Mauer NEEDS that extension, and it would be a HUGE toll on the franchise if they don't do it. But I think they will, as he has an agent known for keeping his guys in the same place. The pitching staff has another year of experience and how they do really depends on how Liriano can bounce back and Slowey comes back from his wrist injury. I'll roll with Baker and Blackburn, and the bullpen looks fairly sound, especially with Neshek coming back.

But since they never make a huge splash in the offseason, I think it'll be another 1 series and done, if they make it to the playoffs. Should be an interesting race between 3 teams for 1 playoff spot (Twins, Sox, Tiggers).

Well the Mets traded for one of the most over paid, under achieving players in the game and acquired Gary Matthews Jr

Another notch on Omar's belt!.....I love it!

Red Sox and Papelbon agreed to a 1 yr deal. They still will not commit to him long term.

Good for them; bad for him.
What's his pricetag this year?

1yr $9.35M

Bruins Fan · 01-20-2010, 09:10 AM

Sox won't commit to him, he has shoulder issues,and don't throw as hard as he used to.
He is looking to be Marino Riviera's replacement in the near future and have the Yanks make him the highest paid pitcher in baseball?
A lot of people are sick of his attitude and his act.

MedicCook · 01-20-2010, 09:13 AM

I don't want him as a Yankee.

Me neither! He's no Rivera.

PeteSB75 · 01-20-2010, 10:28 AM

It's good for the Sox, imo, because it gives him constant incentive to perform. They also seem to be reluctant to lock up any relievers to long term deals. Bard is waiting in the wings if they decide not to sign him within the next few.

MedicCook · 02-03-2010, 09:11 PM

The Tigers sign Justin Verlander to a 5 yr contract for $80M. Now the real question is how many years will he play for the Tigers before they cry poverty and have to trade him?

Next year...after they finish in last place this year.

I think longer than that, even with all the players they lost I still think they are better than Cleveland and Kansas City.
