To me, I think Will John Danks improve is probably the 2nd or 3rd most important question of this off season.

I am very much looking forward to this season. Which of course means that on the first play of spring training Jose Abreu will run knee first into Chris Sale's labrum and both will be done for the year.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Feb 11, 2015 -> 12:28 PM) I dunno, the age thing is the counterpoint. Yes, better clubhouse presence, but guy in mid-30s who seems like he's putting up numbers that express a bit of an age decline (the increasingly bad performance against lefties could fit that). Even if he had a good season against righties last year, there's still some worry. Even with age, I think you have a more accurate idea of what Adam LaRoche you are getting vs Adam Lind.

QUOTE (BigHurt3515 @ Feb 11, 2015 -> 12:25 AM) Is it the same thing for soccer? Honestly, I don't know soccers rules that well.

QUOTE (SoxPride18 @ Feb 11, 2015 -> 11:56 AM) It was earlier in the off season that the Sox did almost acquire Adam Lind, but was stated that the price was too high. Given what we know now, would you have traded for Adam Lind or sign Adam LaRoche to a 2 year/25 million deal? Lind has had some pretty scary years mixed in to some pretty awesome ones. I feel much better about LaRoche as a much more stable option. Lind feels like maybe a steroid case to me. No proof, just a suspicion.

Good luck. Sounds like a fun project. I actually managed to disprove an old local urban legend about a year ago based on piecing together some sources in a similar way to start with.
