Bob Sacamano

Well, time to accept.

Think theres more to it than that. Once they meet with him and start getting to know him, they change plans, evaluate the budget going forward and decide they can make $300mill work.

So? Point is, it got them involved.

Idk if he ever good enough to become washed up.

I mean, I thought that was obvious from the beginning.

Just looked at Griffey's Sox numbers. He wasn't THAT bad for being 38 years old.

That would actually really shock me.

Do the LaRoche boys count?

In 10 years: Manny Machado Edit: sorry, I just had to

Ah that leads me to saying Andruw Jones and Omar Vizquel.

I don't mind this signing and definitely prefer it over the Nova deal.

Manny Ramirez, Kenny Lofton and Ken Griffey Jr are obvious misses.

There haven't been any short-term fixed that will complicate anything in the long run so I guess that part is accurate.

Boston could have but didn't since it was after the trade deadline and they wouldn't be able to deal for anyone else. It's pretty obvious by now that Shields wasn't hurt when he was traded. He just sucked.

I could have sworn they did. Edit: I guess they didn't. I would have been ok signing him and plugging him in at 3B for a couple of years but oh well.

Yep. He makes more sense for the Twins than us. Would have actually been fine with this deal if not for the draft pick.

Well nevermind. But I'm good.

To anyone watching, was there a question asked that even brought them up?

Good point. He may be relieved.

That's true. And Guerriel may be sliding into a Gonzalez role.

Jay played in Chicago for a year. He couldn't sell him on how awesome Chicago is?

He's not wrong.

Whether you want him or not (I don't really want him but it's my choice), where would you play him? I would think 3B.

Yeah what team looking to compete can use a 1B at $9 mill? And basically for nothing?

I don't know about that. Padres are in a similar spot as the Sox.
