I suspect that the sox, even if they sign ajp or iguchi, they will try to keep it under wraps until soxfest... you know how they like to open things with a bang to make the peeps happy! ... just hope they continue the tradition
Why is it that everyone says he is a bad clubhouse guy because of ONE single reporter's story about ONE incident? (article info is posted above) ? I have not seen any other bad info.
bo had replacement hip surgery but the sox signed him anyway, he played all his games with a replacement hip.... pretty good in my mind, even if he wasnt his old self.
9 hole isnt necessarily for your worst hitter, my friend... reference pretty much all of ozzie's tenure with the sox... he was a number 9 hitter, providing another leadoff type guy right infront of the top of the lineup... speed, contact hitter. More often than not the number 9 hitter doesnt make the 3rd out in an inning ... unless the pitcher is owning the team
why oh why do you guys get worked up about what rotoworld suggests the sox SHOULD do? thats just like a newspaper writer suggesting they should do something... no basis inside info or nothing... relax!
.... you missed the part where i said if the other party changed their plans.... i.e. s.f. swooped in and offered 3 years to vizquel. if not for s.f. we would have.... im not saying that he is a psychic!
odds of bruce being right are in his favor... few times he is wrong is usually when the other side (not sox) change their mind or do something different than what they say. but as far as his info on what the sox are doing or want to do, he is pretty much dead on. I would expect that his info not on the sox to be not as sharp
am 1000 sportcenter uptate says bruce reporting that the sox are no longer part of the 3 team deal with ny and arizona... its now ny az and LA (shawn green to az)
no mention of cash
you all are assuming with scho that he will accept being in the pen... last year he did not like that at all... was whiny and such... and wasnt he the pitcher that sox management had issues with in spring training?
wonder if they would take everett and borchard and marte and garland? --we keep rowand, but give them another player that has 'potential' :headshake
OR trade rowand if somehow JR gets greedy and buys beltran... heh yeah right
if for some strange reason, he isnt traded, if we deal clee, he would be an adequate replacement... but i doubt for him to be non-tendered]
yeah i know that might be more payroll, but would still be nice if it worked
I dont think this has anything to do on weather or not the sox and az had agreed to a deal... az's gm had basically told kenny rj woulnt play for the sox, but apparently no one actually asked RJ... so it seems az didnt want to find out, so who knows
