December 6, 200619 yr QUOTE(Kalapse @ Dec 5, 2006 -> 09:59 PM) $106M spent in a matter of hours. Very stupidly I might add.
December 6, 200619 yr That much money for good players at best ... God damn this offseason is going to cause the world to revolve differently.
December 6, 200619 yr So who are the Cubs going to platoon in center field now? Wasnt Julio Lugo an error machine last year? Boston isnt going to be exactly strong up the middle this upcoming year. Lugo can hit a little bit, but I thought he fell off when he was traded to LA.
December 6, 200619 yr Boston's defense got worse up the middle since Gonzalez is a stud there and Lugo is not (defensively speaking). I really don't understand why they are spending all this money on offense cause they need to upgrade the pitching staff.
December 6, 200619 yr QUOTE(Jordan4life_2006 @ Dec 5, 2006 -> 11:11 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Very stupidly I might add. I think most would agree that thus far the Lugo and Drew signings have been the "best" of the offseason.

December 6, 200619 yr QUOTE(Balta1701 @ Dec 6, 2006 -> 10:57 AM) Matz says hi. I meant in addition to that. They need to find a closer and could still use another pitcher. I wonder if Matt Clement will somehow show up this year.

December 6, 200619 yr Wily Mo Pena is still available, if no Ramirez deal is struck contrary to ESPN Deportes' belief, I could see him being moved for Chad Cordero. Afterall, Jim Bowden loves him.

Afterall, Jim Bowden loves him. With the people in the Red Sox outfield (J.D. Drew), I'd make sure I kept a backup right handed outfield bat sitting around there, just in case, if I were theo.
