Correct...need to slow up sometime.

Could of/should of been with us.

Even sports reporting is now biased.

Abreu was very good defensively last year. Better than all but the very best IMO.

I hope Kopech can return to the land of high promise along with Cease. Lopez could be useful if he changes his tempo and learns how to throws strikes. I have high hope that Katz can work some magic with this staff. Coop once had the touch but seems to have lost it.

Wow...kick 'em while they're down.?

I could get on board two Q type starters that usually give you 6 innings and 3 or fewer runs. Build up the pen with two Colome back of the pen types. Just another way of competing if JR doesn't have the stomach for 150 million dollar contracts.

Hard to believe Rodgers does this for a living.

Colas has Chicago White Sox written all over him.

If we don't get Springer or Joc because all the money was spent on Bauer...I'm happy with Adam.

Would need to work on getting a bulldog attitude. Needs to go into attack mode. One or two innings of being mad at the guys trying to get hits off him.

If you are referring to the money quoted...I thought that was obvious. My comment was intended to say a contract for Q as depth wouldn't surprise me. One year with an option is probably more realistic, however.

Seven years is not happening. Quintana for 2 or 3 years would not surprise me at all.

I hope LaRussa is the HOF manager his past accomplishments say he is. Good lineup construction coupled with good on-field decisions. Good management of the pitching staff. Why would anyone want the Sox to fail? Not much of a fan I think.

You can bet the other competitors are doing the math for them.

At the end of the day...it's about the money.

Yes, we did...well time flies.

I have an unrealistic expectation that Katz is going to work miracles with most of our young guns.

New York would have to pay me double to live there. I hope Bauer has the same view of that dump.

Soon...very, very soon.

That might be what turns out to be the best thing for us. This process of spending millions is not as easy as it looks.

I like this idea.

Plus another quality RP. That's about right.

Jerry has been a baseball fan longer than most of us and is smart enough to become a billionaire. Maybe he isn't as dumb as some on this board would have us believe.?

You have 14 players in the untouchable or unmovable categories. I agree with your assessments. I was a big believer in the "no player is untouchable" philosophy...but this team is something special.
