You guys who don't think we can trade Dunn and Rios, I have two words for you VERNON WELLS How much of his salary did Toronto eat? $5m of the $86 mill owed to him over 4 years. Dunn has 3 years and is owed $44m Rios has 3 years and is owed $37m You do the math. Dunn and Rios have less risk in the form of years and the form of money.

4yr $56m I'd rather have Buehrle than Danks. Danks could bring us back a good haul of prospects, Buehrle "might" bring us back a draft pick. Danks will cost more. Danks is a risk to walk.

Great title. How high can your expectations be even with a veteran manager? 5 of the regulars batted under .260 for f$#@ sake. 3 of them batted .230 or under. Our highest paid pitcher was our worst.

If I'm a national league team, I'd be drooling over Danks and Floyd. If the deal is sweet enough, I'm sure you could get rid of Rios, Dunn or Peavy with Quentin, Danks or Floyd.

I'd go a max of 4 years. Danks is young enough he might bite on that. I would think more like the 4/56 that Buehrle got. If we did this though Floyd and or Quentin would probably have to be traded. Or Buehrle not re-signed. It's too bad Kenny made some bad spending decisions.

1. Peavy would have to waive his no trade clause and he wouldn't. 2. Peavy has yet to throw a pitch in the majors this year and is going to make over $16m the next two years. This would be worse than falling for a ponzie scheme.

At least hit and run

1. Kenny Williams job is to field a good team. After that it's up to the team to win. I don't fault Kenny for this team not winning. Do you think Theo Epstein or Terry Francona are at risk at losing their jobs? No. 2. Baseball is a game of peaks and valleys. It's the only sport where losing 62 games is awesome. We have to cope with the losses. This team still has a ability to win. 3. All you have to do first is win the division. The Cardinals won the central in 2006(?) with like 83 wins and won the world series. We suck right now but this division is still winnable.

I hope Buehrle retires. I'm sure he could get a job throwing BP for some team.

I've been a suscriber for years and love it. As long as you have an internet connection you can watch or listen. I live in MI, so for opening day I hooked my laptop up to my tv and watched the game on mlb.tv

I love you man

If ESPN cut down on half the Red Sox/Yankees games, and did a variety of other teams, they would not be getting ads pulled from them left and right, and even if they did, I'm pretty sure they are not hurting for money. I think you should start a 24X7 Pittsburgh Pirates station.

If the Sox get more wins then losses in April then they will win the division

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Mar 23, 2011 -> 09:21 PM) Why, oh why, do people continue to draw conclusions based on Spring Training statistics? Where in my statement did I draw a conclusion? This is called planning. AJ having a bad year and Flowers having a good year is a scenario

If Flowers continues to hit well in AAA and Pierzynski's bat never comes back, what would you do? Even if it does come back he tops out at about .330 OBP. It would be tough to trade AJ since he took a pay cut for us but business is business. If Flowers is tearing it up then it's hard to ignore him, and you can't keep trading everyone away. I personally was hoping AJ left and we gave Flowers a chance. If he continues to hit and AJ struggles then I say we ship off AJ. What would you do?

I'm more worried about Floyd, Buehrle and Jackson than I am Humber. Those are guys we have higher expectations for and none of them are guarantees either.

Great signing for one of the best bullpen arms in baseball

All In, except Spring Training.

I'm anxious to see how he does.

I can have it look however you want. Give me a week to update rosters and I'll get back to you.

We should use my site www.fan-exchange.com. I store all of the info in a database and at the end of the year I use data from www.baseball-databank.org to score each individuals accuracy. I also upload zips, Bill James, cairo, chone, etc. so we can compare. Here are 2010 http://www.fan-exchange.com/mlb/predictionsteams.asp I have group competitions so it keeps soxtalk projections together. All I have to do is update rosters and we are good to go.
