    After Boston went up 8-0 (I believe) he did this. Referring to that Boston thought they were close to a deal with Tex and didn't get him.

    Oh ... well, read my quote to get a feel on how I feel about curses.

    no offense?

    ellsbury, pedroia, youk, martinez, papi, drew?

    OPS+ (last season)
    Ellsbury: 96
    Pedroia: 110
    Youk: 145
    Martinez: 127
    Papi: 101
    Drew: 133


    Jeter: 132
    Johnson: 122
    Tex: 149
    A-Rod: 147
    Granderson: 100
    Posada: 133
    Cano: 129

    Those are some fairly big differences. Not saying they don't have a good offense, I just don't think that offense can get it done.

    yeah but if our pitching stays healthy we wont have to rely on our offense as much. sure, i'd kill to have holliday or gonzalez but i think we can win the division and if not then definetly the wild card.
    I will be what i could be
    Once I get out of this town

    Yeah, Bostons pitching staff is solid, and a very very good top 3. Both teams have good staffs though. It is going to be a fun season.

    And like I said yesterday as a Yankees fan I love the Beltre signing because adding A-Gon to that lineup would make it really fucking scary.

    It's going to happen, just not before the season.

    Anyway, I think the Red Sox have done pretty well this offseason.

    Red Sox got the Yanks beat by an inch on pitching, but when it comes to hitting the Yankees are still the most formidable lineup.

    Sox come to terms with Paps, Ramon Ramirez and Manny Delcarmen.

    All one year deals.

    I'm happy with the short term deals. Hopefully Delcarmen will return to the form he showed in 2007-08.
    I wish I was as fortunate, as fortunate as me.

    I personally would love to see Pedro come back for this season and win another championship with the Sox, and retire here in Boston. I'm willing to bet he has one more good season left in him.. ;):mrgreen:

    Wish you were here...

    Guys, should we start fresh with a new thread for 2010?

    I, for one, cannot wait for pitchers and catchers. Anybody else feeling the wintertime blues and craving some Orsillo and RemDawg?
