I wish the Red Sox would have picked up Cabrerra. The kid has a good bat and he's solid in the field. Plus he helped us win in '04. I always liked the kid.. oh yeah.. and he absolutely kills Boston pitchers..so it helps when he's on the same team.. oh well.
I'm not too worried about the Lowell deal. He said he would only go for a 4 year deal and Theo just wouldn't do it. I'm sure there are some clauses in the contract that the Red Sox made sure to have a way out of it. At least he wasn't stupid enough to go to the Yanks for 4 and play 1B.
A-Rod.. well.. he'll stay a yank. As will Rivera. Blah blah.. when am I supposed to care again?? They will end up in the same position they did this year. An extremely expensive 1 and done team.
The only players I'm really interested in seeing where they go are Santana and Hunter. Rangers are supposedly going to offer Hunter a 5 year deal. They need alot more than Hunter to save that franchise. I'm sitting here trying to figure out how the Red Sox could get Santana. We're overloaded with starting pitchers already. The kid is too good not to make an offer for though. I guess, we could always just dump Clement and maybe even ... Wakefield? Hrmm.. I'm glad I'm not a GM sometimes. Too much stress.
So what is it about the AL that seems to make more deals right after the season? It's almost like the NL just waits and see's what scraps they can pick up. Maybe I just don't notice the NL as much.. correct me if I'm wrong in that area. I mean the only real NL deals I've seen is Glavine to Atlanta and Castillo agreeing for the Mets. Not much news there.. Add that to the fact that the Torrealba deal is dead..
