    Kimbrel knee surgery

    I've torn the meniscus in each knee. I recall feeling a "pop" in one but dont recall hearing it. The other, candidly I don't know when or how I did it. Recovery wise, it's a rapid recovery to be walking and walking briskly within a couple weeks for some. Both were very quick recoveries for...

    Red Sox acquire Drew Pomeranz for Anderson Espinoza

    Solid trade for the immediate term but gosh this hurts. Went back and read the Boston Globe article on Espinoza and was cringing 30 seconds in... You don't give up on that potential. I sure hope DD sees future potential in Pomeranz...

    Sox get Kimbrel

    Hard to swallow this trade but trying to trust talent evaluation. Seems like overpaying for O'Day would have made more sense. Here we overpay significantly in prospects and are taking a big salary commitment along with it.... At least we have 3 years of control. I'm a big fan of Kimbrell...

    Sox acquire Wade Miley for De La Rosa, Webster, and minor leaguer

      I like this deal as well but I sure as heck hope this isn't a chip to flip for a single year of an upgraded pitcher's control.  I think the Sox front office likely values Miley more than many on this board; that seems to be reflected in the early analyst opinions.   Very solid pickup for the...

    Lester: Stop Believing What You Read on Twitter.

    Pedroia also has a highly team friendly deal.  The possibility of the contract becoming an albatross, and the need for a trade, is far less given the financials of the deal.      It's not the same situation.     <edit/typo>

    Spring Training 2014

      This is the type of quote that makes me hope that every now and then players check in on these boards - personally I'd love Nava to read this and stack it on his list of doubters.  Let's save this one for the future and revisit at some point...

    Revisiting The Peavy/Iggy Trade

    Iglesias’ original contract paid him $2.06 million per season, so the Tigers were only obligated to give him 80% of that total in 2014   http://motorcitybengals.com/2014/01/08/detroit-tigers-hand-jose-iglesias-new-one-year-contract/

    Heyman: Ellsbury to sign seven-year deal with Yankees

      Dead on.  He was going to sign somewhere else, for a dollar amount few if any here wanted Ben to pay especially with JBJ in the wings.   The Yankees are always going to sign big name free agents, overpay, etc.   Anyone who thought the Yanks would stand pat after last season is crazy.  Who...
