QUOTE (greg775 @ Jan 3, 2011 -> 05:50 PM) What's so different about the Twins from last year? A few bullpen guys? I'd like to think they are ready to regress, but them winning series after series the second half of last season with a batch of no names makes me think they are still gonna be dangerous. Not to mention the Sox can't beat them head to head. They have our number. It's time to change that. Carl Pavano is currently a FA and he was their 2nd best and probably most reliable starting pitcher last year. Orlando Hudson at 2nd base hasn't been replaced yet. Jim Thome isn't yet on the roster, and he had a ridiculous season that it'd be hard for him to match. John Rauch, Brian Fuentes, Matt Gurrier, and Jessie Crain is a whole lot to lose from 1 bullpen, not just "A few bullpen guys". They get Nathan back and still have Capps for 1 more year, but that middle relief has been formidable for years. If Mauer has another 2009 like year, Nathan comes back strong, and Morneau comes back strong, they're still more than legitimate contenders, but they're sitting with obvious holes right now, and I'm not sure they have the money to fill them all.

No way he's a good shot, he can't see.

Let's stand on his lawn.

He wonders why he lost those elections...

Can you be more specific?

You could have snow

Unless it is a problem.

Players aren't going to do that unless their manager tells them it should happen, and that's the way it should be.

For sure, depending on the energy/wavelength

Depends on the type of X-Ray.

Balta plays with too many X-rays in his normal day and is familiar with their safety equipment

Zero x-ray anomalies associated with vision through them.

Very poor selection of bars then.

THat is why you fail.

Russians, White, should be consumed in my honor.

Obviously, I just don't want any part of his vocal chords.

Gilbert Godfrey is not

Everyone needs a hug, even cannibals.

Can I just give you a hug and call it even?

QUOTE (elrockinMT @ Jan 3, 2011 -> 12:57 PM) I know teams have budgets to consider, but everytime we hear about a player seeming to show or get interest from the Sox we get the inevitable "the Sox have no money" yet they sign have signed players for quite a bit. If we want to win and need that one more relief pitcher then maybe this is possible. I wouldn't dismiss it out of hand I think it's just the numbers that make people dismiss it. Closers who stay healthy for a couple years and put up the kind of numbers he put up last year have this habit of getting mutli-year, $10 million a year deals, nd it seems crazy to think of the Sox giving that to a relief pitcher. If he's genuinely dropping into the 2 year, $6-$8 million range, or less, then that's bargain-basement money for an established closer.

Awesome, we need these 2 to come to blows now.

QUOTE (chw42 @ Jan 3, 2011 -> 12:27 PM) His glove and his ability to stay healthy generate about 3.5 WAR to begin with. So if he's just good with the bat (like an .800+ OPS), he'll get pretty close to 5 WAR. That's only for the next couple of years though, Beltre's not getting any younger. How much does it decrease his WAR if he still refuses to wear a cup:?

F***ing first workout back after X-Mas, ugh.
