Jay.. do you know your team at all?? You think they'd rather have Damon over Bay?? Really? Damon may be ok on the bases, but besides the fact that 90 year old grandmothers can throw better than him and his range in the field has decreased to high school level, there's just no way the skanks would feel like offering Damon the 4 years at $13mil/per when they can offer a younger Bay 5/65-70per and be better off. There's no way they pay the money that Lackey wants to sit at #3 or 4.
Anyway, I don't care about what the skanks do.. I just want to know what the fuck Theo is doing. I used to think this kid was smart, but now he reeks of desperation with deals he's made lately. Add to that he's been beaten by a mere $5 million by another team and reports are that Bay won't be back to Boston, and I just don't know what to think of him. He could step to $70mil/5 years and lock him up and trade him after 4 years if he only wants a 4 year contract. Although, I have a feeling, that if Bay had liked Boston, he would have already signed. There is just something he doesn't like.. have fun in Seattle losing day in and day out.
Holliday is younger than Bay.. why not go ahead and offer him something?? Offer Lackey something while you're at it. The Rangers trade looks like it will be done this week sometime, but Boston needs more than that. They need a big bat and another starting pitcher. We have no idea how Dice-K or Buckholtz are going to perform for a whole season. If Beckett has injuries again, Boston is sunk.
I'm all for keeping the team young and fresh and using the farm talent, but damn, the division has become one where you have to have some good experience and some real pop to compete. Boston is seriously lacking in power.
