2012-2013 Off-season thread.

[Celtic AL]

LL is going to screw us again this offseason just watch......

You do know we're not contending in 2013 right?

[tc2deuce]

Does not matter LL will keep from us contending in 2014,2015,2016 etc....

Just like he prevented us from contending when we won 2 WS?

@grand The Two World Series is in the Past.Most of us don't care about that anymore.It is what have you done for me lately.In the present we have sucked and haven't made the playoffs the past three seasons.Gave contract to players who didn't deserve it.That's Lucchino and theo's fault and record.LL is still here so he can still redeem himself.

What makes you think we won't be contending in 13?

[EEasyA]

As Much as David Ortiz isn't the Gm and Shouldn't be Playing One,He is right.The Red Sox do need a Thunder in the lineup.I said it Before so its refreshing to know ortiz sees it too.

Vyou know what I'll let bags answer that question

Forget Bags LOL. If and I mean IF everyone is healthy and can bounce back from last year then yes this team has shot.

#RedSox expected to non-tender Ryan Sweeney, source says.

[EEasyA]

without Googleing it ,does a non tender mean not offering a player contract.

[-Lavigne43-]

Yes, if everyone is healthy and bounces back this team has a shot. The odds of everyone bouncing back, and being relatively healthy are minuscule. That's why you only sign free agents to short contracts in case everything goes right next year, while the main focus should be building the best core possible to compete in 2015 and beyond.

[poprocksncoke]

If Lester, Buch and Lackey (long shot I know) have good seasons we have a shot at contending.

As Lavs said, with everyone healthy and with a right signing or two the Sox definitely can make the playoffs.


How about you try to make an argument on why he think he's wrong?

you want my answer? i just don't see it. there's to many questions. & if they are healthy they would still need a big piece or two. but then again thats my opinion

[GrkGawdofWalkz]

Okay, so clearing out more junk. Atchison and Sweeney gone. Now we'll have to see the fate of Rich Hill. He's the only other arbitration eligible player who may or may not get a contract offer.
