First move of the season, Matt Lindstrom's 4 million option picked up by the White Sox. Let it begin.

I hope the Dodgers are able to keep Wilson. Dude was lights out for us. I don't expect us to get him back though considering he wants to be a closer again.

We're going to need to do something about that bullpen though and get us better bench players.

1. Should the Red Sox keep Ellsbury at what many believe to be 140+M 7+Y
2 Should the Red Sox keep S.Drew?
3. Shuld the Red Sox sign Brian Mccann? (Let Salty go?)
4. If we let J. Ellsbury leave, Should the Red Sox consider Jackie Bradley Jr as the 3rd OF for next year? Or should they go for a Carlos Beltran/

I'm okay with letting J. Ellsbury, Drew, and Salty go. Bring up Jackie, sign Brian Mccann, and of course X. Bogaerts at SS.

1. I don't even know yet. My heart says yes, but my brain says let him go.
2. Yes. Bogaerts at third.
3. No. Doesn't he have eye problems? Couldn't it develop into something worse? I feel like we should keep Ross and Salty. Rotate them through the schedule and if Salty still sucks come next postseason, we'll just start Ross.
4. Absolutely on Bradley Jr.

McCann's eyes are fine. Besides, you already had Salty and Ross, might as well complete the ex-Braves collection.

We still have Ross. I'm not saying that it's not a possibility, but the catcher position is the least important when it comes to FA.

Trash that gif. He lost to Cena whom only wrestled with one arm.

Cena wins, Sox wins, Celtics with a .500 record?

Spooky!!!


E: I think the Ellis decline was prob due to the young Cuban signing. Plus maybe moving Punto.

Why do we need a new catcher? Ross and Salty (when he's not throwing stupid shit) are fine. They both can run behind the plate well, and no one really gives a shit if they can't hit.

Is he? Well in that case, I doubt it. I also doubt they will spend big to get McCann. When it comes to positions, C is rather far down on the list.

Yankees shopping list according to Heyman

Ellsbury
Drew
Garza
McCann
Beltran
Tanaka
Choo

http://www.cbssports.com/mlb/writer/...n-on-yank-menu

How they plan to free up the money

The Yankees' flexibility comes from all their free agents and retirees, including Mariano Rivera, Andy Pettitte, Hiroki Kuroda, Curtis Granderson, Phil Hughes, Joba Chamberlain and of course Cano. That represents about $80 million in 2012 contracts.

I really think the Phils are going to go crazy to get Ellsbury. Last year when the talk came out about them trading Lee to the Sox he was one of the guys they wanted back. I also think they will try to make a big splash with the new TV money.

Right as we signed Guerrero he was gone. Punto would be a good backup for him as he's pretty solid defensively. We just need some good bench players who can produce.

Wouldn't mind if they signed him or Choo.

(Both would probably cost more than triple their entire payroll lol)

Rumor time: Blue Jays want Gordon Beckham?

I hate baseball.

AA has seemingly had a hard on for Beckham for the last 3 years. He just can't let players he likes go.

Looks like we picked up Lind's option

Not sure if you're serious.

Salty is a FA, I seriously doubt the Red Sox are gonna bring him back. If they do, fine. If they don't, well that leaves us with no starting catcher. Making this position a priority. Not saying the only option is to sign Brian Mc., but they do need someone. Ryan Larnaway has been a dissapointment so far.

If Ellsbury ends up going somewhere else, I would love for the sox to trade for an OF power hitter, someone like Giancarlo Stanton. This is more of a want then a need.
