Layne has looked solid so far also, and I think the addition of Ross to the bullpen will also be helpful for short and long relief. Here's hoping Tazawa and Breslow can solidify the bullpen, would be nice to be able to only need 6 from the starter and be able to slam the door from there.

I do not trust Ross at all. His numbers in Texas are beyond awful and I have no clue what they see in him.

he had a bad year last year for sure, but I'm hoping he can perform like he did his first 2 years when his ERA was 2.22 and 3.03 in 65 innings.

I will admit, there is nothing I would love more than to eat a big helping of crow where he and Masterson are concerned

Was just going to say I'm not so sure how much longer they can have Victorino out there stinking up the joint while Castillo is down in Pawtucket, but Castillo apparently hurt his shoulder and has to get it checked out.

May be a blessing in disguise as Victorino's stock can't get any lower and this may buy the sox enough time to get Victorino going and up that trade value.

He was someone I was keeping an eye on because we could desperately use a leadoff guy so we could bump every one down one spot in the order.

I still cant believe Victorino was given the starting job over Castillo.

I too was pissed when Castillo got sent down.  With all the trades we made during the offseason I wish we had tried to pawn him off on someone.  Yes he is set to make thirteen million but it is only for one year.  I am sure that there is a team that could have used his veteran presence and been willing to pay some of it and maybe given us a bullpen arm or something.

      Wild Idea.. Trade for Shemar Stewart

      By LinvilleGorge · Posted

      Yeah, when you draft a guy you have to understand and realize you're going to be giving him a contract commensurate with that draft position. It is what it is. If you don't want to do that for anyone on the board, trade down. Hell, pull a Vikings and sit on your ass and let the time run out and the next team up pick. LOL! But don't draft the guy and then think you're going to get away with some contract shenanigans. Hell, his agent can't allow it looking out for his own interests. If Stewart was willing to sign a deal wildly out of step with the norm on a bad way his agent would probably tell him he's got a walk. If I want to sign future 1st round draft prospects I can't be a part of this.

      Yea, I don't know why they are insisting this new clause to be be included. (well its money, its always money). Just the issue, or one of the big issues, is no other team is doing it. They are trying to start a trend..... guess what the team picked right after and before stewart didn't not have this clause in the contract and they have already signed. They totally look like the bad guy in all this and like I posted before, their rep is awful among agents.  Mike Brown uses his daughter negotiate contracts cause she took law courses. Look it up, many say if she is doing that, she is the GM... I bet you can not guess who the GM is....... save you some time, there isn't one.... so maybe it is the daughter....

      TIME TO SPECULATE

      Eh, I can see where you're coming from, but at the same time, unless the new jerseys were just god awful ugly, how many people would just cancel their order at that point? Those people, like myself, bought it because they wanted T-Mac's jersey, not because they loved the current uniforms and just wanted one. But I kinda hope they do give us new uniforms next offseason, just like with Cam, so this version of T-Mac's jersey will always be his "rookie jersey" which would be pretty neat.  It was pretty well known at the time that we were getting new jersey's that next season so I waited to get my Cam until then and got an Authentic one, which is great, but I do still kinda regret not having a Cam rookie jersey in my collection.
