Yup, agree 100%. Been saying for years that we have to start adding blue collar/lunch pail type players to create a positive, hard working culture. Unfortunately you can't win with these guys...

You need positive vet presence to mix in with the young players for rebuilding, too. Need leadership and role models. That's why I really wouldn't even be against the 35 yr old Newman joining,...

The whole potential Youk to the Yankees situation reminds me of the Wade Boggs to the Yankees, years ago. That worked out alright for us. I don't mind this for one year.

I'm thinking a 4th and a 6th. Randy Moss killed his value while with us and the Pats paid what to us for him?

We need to recoup the two picks we are missing in this year's coming draft. If...

I always liked Swish. Not too many players play with the heart or intensity that he did each night. And not too many LOVED the team/city that they play for. Postseason sucked, but he was a...

Not sure how much this will help, unless Patterson can keep them healthy. Either way, I guess, change was needed there.

I remember as a little kid, I always hated Bobby Meachem. I just remember him downright sucking!

I'm not convinced they keep Ellsbury. Wouldn't be surprised to see him shipped for pitching.

I'd take Bourn, as well -- with or without Gardner remaining. Gardner has to be able to bounce back from this injury and prove he can stay healthy as a regular, everyday player. So I can see logic...

Thought Moore practiced all week?? WTF?

Not sure about overrated, but underrated (in non-celtic circles) would be Reggie Lewis. I don't think other fans realize how good he was.

the thought of the Sox signing Swisher is my worst nightmare, right now

I don't get it. So the sox can just trade these guys away and free up all of that payroll? Or are they on the hook for these contracts. From reading the boston boards, they seem to think they...

Swish has had success in the 2-hole before, not sure why Girardi has been hesitant to go that way again.

I still believe Jeter is our best and most natural fit for batting second, but without a...

That's exactly why he needs to stay down in the order -- to help produce runs, like he did last night.

Slump or no slump, this year or last year, I still think Grandy has been miscast in the 2-hole (nevermind leadoff)). Swisher would be better suited batting second with Grandy moved down in the order...

holy smokes.. you think stewart could be up the first base line anymore than he was??

Maybe ichiro will hit in the 2 hole, so that we can finally move Grandy to more of a run producing spot in the middle of our order.

Jeff Foster always seemed to be tough on the boards (against us, anyways). I'd take him to fill out the last spot.

Agreed. Let Phelps roll in the fifth starter's spot until AP gets back. You already know what you have in Garcia. Let's see if we have more than a middle reliever in Phelps.

Yup. It seems (to me anyways) that the C's have been trying to do this sort of thing for years -- take SG's from college or wherever -- and try to make them into backup PG's. I still remember when...

I honestly believed that A-Rod, at some point in his career, would have to move to 3rd base, anyway. So if he didn't do it to accomodate Jeter and the Yankees, he just would have at some point down...

If nepotism was in play with Reggie, I think he would have started off by hiring Moss, Capers, or Philbin to be our HC. That didn't happen. He's bound to have made connections like anyone else...

That is a good question. Nobody wants mo to retire, but that was money coming off of the books next year that now is not ( if indeed he comes back). Wonder what Hal is thinking.
