What happened to Lamarre?

Somebody tell Jack Parkman that Tim is at least as good as LaMarre was the other night

Just swap out Burdi for Danish next year and it looks even better.

Just went back and watched this.

CL: Hamilton
SU: Fry
SU: Burdi
MR: Frare
MR: Burr
MR: Vieira
LR: Minaya

Covey takes Shields rotation spot. Then arms like Johnson, Ruiz, and Schryver are other internal relievers being developed.

Swap Bummer for Viera, I really don't see a future there without a drastic improvement in control.

Also I think they'll sign a starter. Covey is...not good.

Or we pay for Kimbrel or someone else ,Keep Shield eww, ( or pay for another SP) ,let Covey be the long man Vieira eh not that likely. Robertson's a FA  right ? Bummer still could be used too.

Right Hector shut out please .

Very nice bounce back from that 18K disaster yesterday

If Shields keeps on pitching like this, then I say bring him back next year.

And that is goodnight Boston , 8 zip 

This  game is OVAH!  Nice win to give the Hawkeroo

I was mainly going for the entirety internal BP. Saves such huge money.

Kimbrel will be expensive. Robertson probably not so bad . Haven't looked at other FA RP's. But I think one more reliable arm at least . Not sure how ready any of the other guys are you mentioned while Burdi, Frare , Burr, Hamilton all rookies should go through huge growing pains. A veteran RP to show them the ropes is good.

What is the status with Nate Jones? Isn't he expected to be healthy next year? Why couldn't he be the veteran guy for the pen? Here is his contract:

• 19: club option at Major League mininum salary, 20:$3.75M club option, 21:$4.25M club option
• buyout of $1.25M if an option is declined

I suspect that they would have to sweeten the deal, but why not?

Nate Jones NEVER seems to be healthy, that's just the way he is historically. I'd rather give a kid a shot or sign someone myself. 

Nice to see them play well on a big day before a very nice crowd. If I recall correctly they lost on Konerko's day, Buehrle's day, Thome's day and the 10th anniversary celebration for the 2005 team.

Hawk guaranteed that Sox will kick some Cub ass in years ahead.

Why sweeten anything ? He's signed for the minimum next year should they decide not to put him out to pasture. His arm is spaghetti .

Yes, you are correct. I read the terms again, and the Sox do have a club option, to retain him next year, at the MLB minimum. I assume that they will exercise that option.

Hawk always says stuff like this. That's why he can no longer be taken seriously.
