October 18, 201312 yr QUOTE (toasty @ Oct 17, 2013 -> 10:36 PM) If granderson gets close to this it will be a desperate move by somebody I bet he gets close to 60 if not 60. And yes it will appear desperate, if it was the Sox it would be super desperate.
October 18, 201312 yr QUOTE (Sockin @ Oct 17, 2013 -> 08:05 PM) Confirmed by second source! Jesse Sanchez @JesseSanchezMLB Sources confirm @Ken_Rosenthal's report: Abreu 6 years, $68 million pending physical with CWS. #Astros & #RedSox were also in hunt today. https://twitter.com/JesseSanchezMLB/status/...036073565880320 BOOM GOES THE DYNOMITE!!!
October 18, 201312 yr QUOTE (daggins @ Oct 17, 2013 -> 10:42 PM) Very true. I would def. rather have the second round pick and Abreu than Grandy. Right now the wish list is down to Salty, maybe a trade for some infield depth, and a bonafide lefty in the pen. That puts the Sox on the road to legitimacy. Infield depth isnt a concern, I think its impact MI. Every year one of ours is a hole in the lineup or defensively. Our rotation also could be a bit diferent on opening day.

Though, I wonder if this impact MI is someone sox figure is in the system already (Semien, etc) or is someone like that just bait? different than when, end of 13? I sure hope so!
October 18, 201312 yr QUOTE (bbilek1 @ Oct 17, 2013 -> 10:44 PM) or even where does Abreu hit? 3? 4? 5? As we sit now you have to think our 3-4-5 is some variation of Abreu, Dunn and Garcia. You would think it would be left-right-left. So probably Abreu, Garcia, Dunn if Abreu shows he can hit. I would start him at the highest 5th in the line up to begin with

I sure hope so! Well. Who in the lineup truly has that veteran "yes he will produce" feeling for you? I have nobody.

October 18, 201312 yr QUOTE (fathom @ Oct 17, 2013 -> 10:48 PM) Angels will be looking to deal Kendrick for some pitching Santiago and Beckham?
October 18, 201312 yr Guys if I dont answer your pm's tonight ill get to em. Trying furiously to find out if this is truly done and also whats left financially.
October 18, 201312 yr QUOTE (SoxPride18 @ Oct 18, 2013 -> 04:49 AM) Santiago and Beckham? I was thinking of something like that, but Santiago should have more value I would hope.
October 18, 201312 yr QUOTE (SoxPride18 @ Oct 17, 2013 -> 10:51 PM) Well Heyman confirmed the deal They are still working, so im not sold its "done."
October 18, 201312 yr QUOTE (fathom @ Oct 17, 2013 -> 10:52 PM) I was thinking of something like that, but Santiago should have more value I would hope. Maybe. Beckham hit his ceiling this last season IMO.
October 18, 201312 yr QUOTE (SoxPride18 @ Oct 18, 2013 -> 03:49 AM) Santiago and Beckham? Would be really bad of the Sox.
October 18, 201312 yr So does this mean we are out of the running on any of the potential OF free agents, I mean we should still have plenty of money to go around to add an impact bat and a catcher I'd imagine.

Thank God.
October 18, 201312 yr QUOTE (RockRaines @ Oct 17, 2013 -> 10:52 PM) Maybe. Beckham hit his ceiling this last season IMO. I think his year was hampered by his wrist injury. I'd like to see him a bit more, I think.
October 18, 201312 yr QUOTE (RockRaines @ Oct 17, 2013 -> 10:55 PM) personally I think this closes the books on Granderson. Thank God. Amen!

I think we should go after Corey Hart. He's not going to cost a lot of money, so not a big risk.
