Rock knows what he's talking about.

Hopefully it's something of significance.

 

I'm going to bet it's not Furcal. One site said that the A's are offering a 4 year deal.

 

I would go near him for that length of a deal and his injury history.

Big Brother is always watching..... :o

I would also assume the Sox will not sign Furcal... they are crying broke again...

I was just teasing him about not knowing who it was.

Unless Furcal's agent leaked that A's rumor to try to get KW to go to 4 years.

I wouldnt bet on it.

Ben Sheets? That would be nice. He would hit the DL around the time Jose comes off it.

 

As long as it's not Willy T I'll be happy. Probably.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Dec 15, 2008 -> 03:36 PM)
I think you'll see a signing by the Sox by thursday at the latest.

 

This excited me at first... until I realized it's probably Willy T.

its not a big signing and will get chance compete with the rest of the team.

And you know this how?

because that's pretty likely to happen.

 

in other news the sun should rise tomorrow.

that's a relief.

just reading what rock says and when he says the words " depends on your definition of significance"... You would hear rumblings or some sort if it was a major impact name.

You clearly don't know how KW operates if you expect to hear rumblings before a move.

Apparently there is still a mystery team for Furcal, over at mlbtraderumors.com. I have no idea if its us, doesnt make sense in a lot of ways, but does at the same time. He would fill the SS/2nb/CF base dilemma and leadoff spot yet KW says Alexei is the SS, and that the payroll is already over budget.

 

Signing Furcal does open a lot of options though, do you keep Alexei at 2nd, or do you move him to CF and put Getz at 2nd, or put Anderson in CF? Lots of options, but I dont see a four year deal for him from us.

Mystery team is Braves

Good lookin, jsut saw the update. It was more of a wish than anything.

I would guess the signing would be Taveras. It sounds like the Sox would get outbid on D. Cabrera (which is fine), with 11 teams expressing interest.

 

If you take Kenny at his word, they are currently over budget (presumably with Jenks arb raise factored in). Even a minor signing like Taveras at $3M forces Dye or Jenks to be traded. Given that, I'll be very surprised if the Sox make any significant FA signings season given their financial situation.
