    Mike Quade looks like a burn victim

    god bless you, Aramis Ramirez

    The #2 spot is more than just OBP...he needs to be able to hit and run, hit to the right side with a runner on second and less than two outs, bunt, etc etc. He obviously feels comfortable putting Blanco there if Theriot's not. Has nothing to do with being a SS. no one needs to hit and run, ever Why not? This team hits into quite a bit of DP's it seems. And also, I love aggressiveness on the basepaths....putting pressure on the opponents defense...we never do either of those things. because they rarely work

    ugh, Lou with the "SS hits 2nd" lineup, despite Blanco's .289 OBP

    Self-loathing Cubs fans make for bad threads

    Sage Rosenfels, come on down

    the Indians aren't doing anything in that division until they sort their pitching out. they need to get Carmona back to form, and they need some harder throwers. Guys like Sowers, Huff and Laffey just aren't going to cut it. The offense seems fairly set. Next year you'll probably see an outfield of LaPorta, Sizemore and Shoo, with some combo of Peralta, Cabrera, Marte, Carroll and Valbuena in the infield, and then Toregas/Marson at catcher. Very young and potentially pretty good.

    woot, 2nd place

    sam fuld has some crazy eyes

    No

    sure, but why?
  15. Derwood
    I heard Jose Hernandez is our emergency catcher

    Believe me, if the Red Sox were still in their drought, ESPN would be making a Bill Buckner documentary too

    Ricciardi just lost a lot of his leverage

    Terry Francona now gets to try to keep 6 guys happy with only 4 spots to play them. Hope Kotchman likes his 2 at-bats per week
  19. Derwood
    This actually hurts the Sox in the short term, as Clayton Richard was in their starting rotation
  20. Derwood
    Not a bad idea for the Sox. Their window (with Thome/Konerko/Dye) is closing rapidly. Might as well go for it. Then again, there is no guarantee the Sox will be anywhere close to playoff race by the time he's healthy

    Jon Heyman (MLBN) seems to think there are no legs to a Halladay to Anaheim deal
  22. Derwood
    Peavy agreed? that's what they're saying, yeah
  23. Derwood
    just confirmed on MLBN for Clayton Richard Adam Russell Aaron Poreda Dexter Carter

    a friend of mine (Red Sox fan) says that the Red Sox are actually looking to cut payroll some down the road, and that guys like Lowell and Varitek aren't long for the team post 2009
  25. Derwood
    You just need a team full of hitters who put the ball on the ground when the wind blows in and in the air when the wind blows out, and a staff of pitchers who induce ground balls with the wind blowing out and fly balls with in blowing in. How hard is that?
