alfonso soriano: jim hendry's gift that keeps on giving even after he's gone if we had just signed carlos lee at least he'd be on his way out -
finally another game

i like how the people bagging on Theo criticize him for being bad with big free agent signings, and then they say he only has success because of his payroll. so, which is it?

Is SoSH the biggest Red Sox forum out there? I'd hope not, because they sound like a bunch of clowns. Most of them are expecting the monetary compensation to be an amount big enough to take a big dent out of Lackey's contract (ha) and I just read a post from a guy saying he wanted Brett Jackson so they could "use him to get rid of Lackey or Beckett's contract".

i love that rosenbloom article where he discounts theo by saying that he hasn't won a world series without the help of a steroid-aided middle of the order. rosenbloom'd

Especially considering that it sounds like Friedman eventually ends up there

Theo: "How do you live with a player who has only 20 HR and 70RBI when he was signed to be a 30/100 guy? It has to be disappointing, right?" It's weird that you seem to understand stuff like this and still think Sandberg would be a good manager. I was going to go further but I don't want to start an off topic argument. Because I do not feel Ryno's comments should be taken as 100% truth in how he would run things (bunting, etc). I think when he says "play the game the right way" only means he expects guys to hustle and act like pros. It's not "comments". That's how he's managed in the minors

scroll down i know he talks about the worst contracts, but he doesn't say anything bad about gonzalez's contract
-
that wasn't a list of the worst contracts in baseball. it was a list of the biggest contracts.
-
OK, awful is exaggerating it, but we have substantial money tied up in mediocre to OK players and have a good amount of guys who are overpaid and don't have bright prospects of getting better. but there are zero big contracts that extend past next year. we have bad contracts, but they're all coming off the books.
-
what awful contracts do they have besides soriano?
-
wow that guy is really milking his 5 minutes of quasi fame

not sure what this means, but gammons just tweeted it

after this we still get to talk about who iwll be manager. and then we get to obsess about whether or not we'll get prince after that. cubs offseasons are more fun than cubs seasons
-
it's going to fall through. pretty soon we're going to be hearing about how theo couldn't go through with it and "his heart is in boston", ala urban meyer.
-
Players don't give a [expletive] about anything but the money. money and being extra famous.
-
also, having theo epstein as your gm can't hurt in luring free agents. come on prince. i apologize for all the mean things i said back in 2007
-
if ricketts can seal this, i might start forgiving him for the safari

So the people in this and the previous thread were just trolling? Over the past week, people have talked about the possibility of virtually every one of our valuable assets being involved. I think we're all just losers and have been too excited for the lack of news and had to have something to talk about
