This HAS to solidify Boston as the best pen in the majors, no?

Papelbon

Gagne

Okajima

Timlin

Delcarmen

Lopez

Snyder

Tavarez
I think they were the best before the deal. This is like putting a firecracker on top of dynamite.
I'm not all that sure why they did this outside of preventing him from going elsewhere. I guess they plan to win every playoff game 2-1.
Don't be silly, they'll win every playoff game 3-1, even if they have to start that wretched Wily Mo Pena.
Are you WMP's Dad or something?
 
Where is Boston getting all of this money to pay these guys? ( :lmao: )OK so I was out for most of the last few pages, but let me see if I'm caught up...Red Sox MIGHT have traded for Gagne, but we're waiting to hear if he'll take a backseat to Papelbomed (BTW, can't anyone else see both of these guys getting hurt before the end of the season?)Capella is currently playing the "Yanks should have traded away all of their youth" side of the Anti-Yankees debate?If they traded Melky or any of their youth, he'd be saying things like "same old Yankees", or "the system is unfair" (BTW, does anyone take him seriously when he isn't talking about the Rays?)Wilked has blown his load at least once today.Am I caught up?
Most Yank fans are happy with the turn of events in the Bronx today.

:goodposting: Everyone is telling us it's not our year, then bashing us for looking towards the future. It's hysterical.We kept the kids. I'm very happy with that.

lol, thought this was Darth Cheney at first.Sox have scored ~ same amount of runs as Cleveland, and are 5th in the AL

http://mlb.mlb.com/stats/sortable_team_sta...mp;sortByStat=R

They are third in the AL in OPS

nice try, but the bait is a little stinky :lmao:
Congratulations. This would be like the Tigers picking up a DH for the stretch run. :goodposting: Boston has shaky hitting but you don't see that and there is no sense in trying to convince you. lol, :loco:

How many runs do they need to score before the hitting is not shaky? Do they need to lead the AL in runs scored? :lmao: Baseball is about run differential, and the Sox are far and away #1 in this category. They score a lot, and don't give up many. Seems pretty simple to me...

Sorry, like i said earlier, I was trying to catch up.Yanks might miss it this year, but at least they didn't sell the ranch in hope for something that might happen. They stood pat and have one of the brightest pitching futures in the League (according to Baseball Prospectus :grad: ).

No, I just wonder why there's so much venom against Pena when the guy hasn't even started a full season yet.

You don't have to convince me they didn't need to add to their bullpen but did need to add a bat to a so-so line-up, I already knew that. I'm sure JD Drew will be nails in September and October. :lmao:
 
1100 AM in Cleveland is reporting that there is a possible twist to this Wickman deal and it could end up being a big trade that goes down to the deadline with league approval. They have a contigent deal in place with Cleveland and JS has jumped in and is in hot pursuit of Javier Vazquez.

The Braves are looking to trade Wickman to the Indians for Cliff Lee. Then JS trades Lee, Reyes, and Escobar to the White Sox for Vazquez.

so then, how many runs do they need to score before they are no longer shaky with the bat? Do they need to be top 3? They are nine runs away from that ;)
 
1100 AM in Cleveland is reporting that there is a possible twist to this Wickman deal and it could end up being a big trade that goes down to the deadline with league approval. They have a contigent deal in place with Cleveland and JS has jumped in and is in hot pursuit of Javier Vazquez.The Braves are looking to trade Wickman to the Indians for Cliff Lee. Then JS trades Lee, Reyes, and Escobar to the White Sox for Vazquez.
The deadline was 15 minutes ago.
 
Capella is currently playing the "Yanks should have traded away all of their youth" side of the Anti-Yankees debate?
Jesus, you're stupid.
That's funny! At least you know I'm right.
I'm pretty sure you don't even know the discussion was about.
If they traded Melky, you would have said "typical Yankees", no?
Why would I have? I've said a hundred times on these boards I don't think Melky is that good.Try to make some sense here.
 
If scoring runs is the most glaring weakness on the Red Sox this season then I am very excited about our chances.

Hello? It just had to be submitted by 3pm CST. It still has to be approved which, sometimes, can take a while.

:shrug: Just my perspective, I've been wrong before.

There is still trading available...players just have to clear waivers. I think all of these players, except Escobar would clear waivers...just a thought

So what's wrong with Melky? Solid defensive OF, will get better with the bat. You've seen his offensive #'s since May and your retort was the season starts in April so your rational is, your only good if you have good months all year long?

I'm not going to repeat the same ####ing conversation again. Catch up, chief.

Not this late in the game. No chance Vazquez or any of the young guys clear waivers.

:no: Would I have loved to land Dye to replace WMP and spell the streaky (but mostly just plain sucky) Drew in RF? Of course. Am I glad that Boston didn't overpay to plug a not so glaring hole in an above average lineup? Of Course.
 
Without skimming did the Red Sox find serviceable backups for Crisp and Drew?
No major position deals were struck for Boston. Ellsbury will prob be brought up once rosters expand... but he's certainly not a top end plug for that hole. :no:

You'd have heard about it by now if it was submitted. There may be a few small deals that trickle through but nothing that big. This isn't like when the deadline was at midnight and it took until the morning to get all of the details out.

:popcorn:
They can't all be Carlos Beltran.
What does that have to do with anything? He's a mediocre player at best. You aren't talking about a serious trading chip here.
Exactly how do you come to this conclusion on a player who is 22 and has been in the bigs since he was 20? He's done well for the role he has been given.

I guess you too have also skimmed over this thread.

What difference does that make?
 
Looks like the Braves just got Ledezma. They've added Dotel, Ledezma, and Texiera.....not bad. Just need another starter and they make the playoffs again.
