July 16, 200421 yr I completely agree Tony. I would actually shoot for Everett anyway. Everyone here complains at what we give up for people. Beltran would cost us alot. Everett on the other hand, is cheap and would cost us Middle to lower prospects. He wants out of Montreal and back in the race and the A league. He was a good player for us, and will DH. Its a good cheap but effective move. I also think, he might be part of a package that may bring us another pitcher. Personally I think Beltran is out of the picture. Will you go on vacation already ... Please. PS - watch your email, one is on the way.
July 16, 200421 yr Not sure if this was said or not but Carl is signed passed this year( :puke ). That leaves no interest for me in him. Especially since I think his contract is worth about 7 to 8 million per year. he has a three million dollar contract this year and a 4 million dollar contract next year. He is cheap. In addition I think he would be a good insurance policy next year if we lose Mags. I am not saying he is as good or even close to Mags. I just think he would be a good pickup.
July 16, 200421 yr Will you go on vacation already ... Please. PS - watch your email, one is on the way. Yea I know, vacation is coming soon. You will miss me.
July 16, 200421 yr Yea I know, vacation is coming soon. You will miss me. saw the email, hey remember about three weeks ago when i told you that the Sox are going to get Everett. You watch...
July 16, 200421 yr saw the email, hey remember about three weeks ago when i told you that the Sox are going to get Everett. You watch... That was something I recall we told one another at the same time. Totally agreed on that, it makes sense and is inexpensive, as you posted. You will be going crazy out there w/out your usual access, would love to be a fly on the wall when you're wandering around looking for a game score
July 16, 200421 yr Carl would be a good fit IMO for that DH role with Franks absence. It also seemed like EVERYONE loved him in the clubhouse when he came to the Sox, brought a good vibe. Dont think it can hurt. Totally agree
July 16, 200421 yr If the Sox want a hitter who they can get without giving away the store, they should look at Larry Walker. The guy can still hit, play defense and run the bases, but he is very expensive. $12MM next year, I believe. He, Lee, and Maggs could trade off between left, right and DH. Instant offense, and the Rockies would love to get rid of his salary. No Anderson/Sweeney give-away needed. I really believe our bigget problem is offense, not pitching. Sure, there are games where we score 15 runs and inflate the stats, but it did not happen tonight. And hasn't in quite a while.
July 16, 200421 yr Sounds kinda crazy, but I really think Beltran creates more problems then he would help on this team. Im happy with A-row in CF right now, solid D, with an ok bat, and doesnt make much $$$. Beltran comes in, you know he is going to play CF every day, dont know where that leaves A-row, and Borchard for that matter. Beltran is obviously a great player, but I think it could be to much shifting around for the teams good. Carl on the other hand wont cost us THAT much, and will basically im sure just play DH in the time Frank is gone, and is a decent LH bat that we need. I'm with ya on that one. Everett would be the better fit even if its just another rental.
