  • I love it that the Yankees fan is taking the time to update the Sox thread.

    We got our guy. F Jason Werth. On to Crawford.

    Does Brian Cashman like Pearl Jam? Seems like more of a Creed fan to me.

    I don't see Crawford after today. He's going to be a lot. Never know though but I doubt it.

    Definitely a good pick up for you guys.

    Now I am reading the blue jays are going to go hard after greinke. AL east is brutal.
  • that pic of Theo is funny. Is one eye shut?

    I've been wanting AGON for the past 2 plus years. But I hope his shoulder is healthy and hope we get 2 more bats and sure up the bullpen. How bout we dump Scutero and get Hanley and then get Crawford?

    The Boston Red Sox will sign free-agent outfielder Carl Crawford to a seven-year, $142 million contract, according to multiple reports.

    The Boston Globe first reported the deal Thursday night.

    Crawford was considered the top position player on the free-agency market this winter.

    Don't know why I'm posting in a Red Sox thread. I see Cashman as a Beatles fan.

    Hell of a signing. My only hope is that the lineup is too lefty heavy and hopefully the Yanks will have 3 lefty starters.

    Really? I thought you were a rational baseball fan Cliffy. That guy put up monster numbers in Yellowstone Park. Tex slumps 3 months a year, at least.

    So, I was gonna say "so much for run prevention" before I realized that Gonzalez & Crawford are also excellent defensive players. Ouch.

    I am a huge Tex fan. We will see, definitely a great trade.

    Crawfords defense is going to be wasted in LF of Fenway, still a good pickup.

    The back end of all of these contracts are going to be pretty ugly, and that includes whatever the Yanks give Lee.
  • Woo-hoo!!!!!!!!! How do you like them apples Cliffy? Carl Fn Crawford! We're gunning for you guys this year! Nervous yet?

    As I said its big. Boston has made a splash. I said on the last page, i just hope the lineup is to lefty heavy and the Yanks have 3 lefties to counter.

    Good lineup though, at least 1-7.

    Crawford shoudl lead off but will bat second.

    My guess

    Ellsbury
    Crawrford
    Pedroia
    Gonzalez
    Youklis
    Ortiz
    Drew
    Scuturo
    Salta...

    I don't see any way they leave ellsbury in leadoff spot, push pedroia back to third and bat gonzalez fourth. Batting ninth Ellsburg will essentially be a second leadoff batter.

    Crawford
    Pedroia
    Gonzalez

    No? Hasn't Crawford hit 2nd pretty much his whole career though. I would imagine they keep him where he's comfortable.

    I remember hearing that Crawford doesn't like to bat leadoff.
