I agree with most of this post. The term should be two or three years IMO. Jose is an All Star in this years class. The idea he is a fossil in some fans minds is just hard to understand. We honored Konerko with final year tours and staying at least two years to many. Jose is still productive and we take this attitude of don't let the door hit you on the way out.

I really liked this. When the players yelled I got it...I got it...I got it loud and repeatedly I was hoping the Sox players where listening. We get so many near collisions it's scary.

Seems like the kind of guy we should want to keep around.

Six weeks ago it would have taken something like 3 years at 6 million per year. Now it might be about 3 years at 10 million per year. Soon your number will be spot on. This Is exactly what some of us were warning would happen.

As I've said in many post concerning trading either Abreu or Colome...you don't need everyone to agree on their worth. You only need one team that thinks they are difference makers.

I don't consider those guys overpays. I want a major league ready right fielder or 2/3 starter type. Jose is a 3 time All Star not a cast off.

I'm on your side Greg. Abreu can be traded in an overpay IMO. Other than that situation I would give him two years at 12 million per with an option of some sort that would make it work.

7 straight for the American League. That's good!!!

What about Blackman?

Bummer!

Hand single handedly turning this into a cliff hanger.

I'm telling ya Rick...lock him up.

Why major league baseball allows Blackman his degree of lack of grooming is beyond me. Looks like a bum.

Ain't this a fine kettle of fish.

I take no pleasure in seeing guys like Palka and Nicky get sent down. However, you and I both know they don't belong on a championship team.

Nice opposite field hit in his first All Star at bat. What can't this guy do. Lock him up Rick.

McCann does us proud. Nice opposite field hit.

I like that all these pitchers are working fast. Maybe that's why they are All Stars.

Pitching and defense has been exceptional so far.

Some of the best trades are the ones you don't make. I think that was a Hawkism.

American League scored that second run using Ricky ball.

I would extend him for two years and go from there.

The Dbacks are what brought it to my attention. Really buck-ugly.

My impression has been that his catching has been better than advertised. I know...small sample size.

Is it just me or are the dark gray road uniforms for the National League ugly as s**t?
