Matt39 Posted May 17, 2011 Share Posted May 17, 2011 Calling the job they have done in the last 2 years brutal is being kind. And Cashman has to take his share. True. Sad thing is, its probably shorter to name the guys on the roster who dont have a ridiculous contract over the ones that do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madmikeisback Posted May 17, 2011 Share Posted May 17, 2011 True. Sad thing is, its probably shorter to name the guys on the roster who dont have a ridiculous contract over the ones that do. The contracts they have given out recently make the Posada contract look like a good one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrazyCarl40 Posted May 17, 2011 Author Share Posted May 17, 2011 Show me former Yankee underling funneling all star players back to the yankees. One. Anthony Rizzo in AAA this season - .376/.448/.723/1.171 12 HRs 50 RBIs in 36 games. Not to mention the other two players in the deal are performing well in the minors too. Funneling? The Padres sent one player to Boston who they could no long afford for a package of players the GM was familiar with and confident in. So what do you have now? More conjecture and made up stuff?

Executives work deals with other executives they know-there is no news in that. Every team works that way. The Yankees have been notorious throughout history in working in that manner (deals that were even more shady). If the Padres felt they could have gotten a better deal than what the Red Sox gave, I am sure they would have gone for that. You can't say they wouldn't have.

And the market for teams that can afford a 22 million a year contract is not very large. Especially, with the Yankees having signed Teixera the previous year.

What were their other choices? Can't afford to resign him. Let him walk and all you get are two draft picks. They got 4 players for him. And they are good players too. Are you enlightened yet?

Teams will pay more for a free agent in his walk year BEFORE the season, rather than at the deadline. Simple trade economics there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What was that 50 years ago? And that had to do alot more with a financial arrangement than an affinity scam. It's equally bad for the sport though.

CrazyCarl40 Posted May 28, 2011 Author Share Posted May 28, 2011 Don't look now but the Red Sox are atop the AL East. Sure it's only May, but after the way they started, it's nice to see them playing better baseball. Going to be a great summer battling back and forth.

However, the Red Sox have benefited from the Rays slow start and Yankees ok start. The Red Sox were never more than 5 games behind. It is not like they were 10 games behind in late July.

Glad you're concerned for the Red Sox well being though JonE. And it hasn't been a circle jerk. It's going to be a battle until the end.

It depends, if Bartolo Colon has the CY Young wrapped up by July, the Yankees might limit his late season innings and the Sox could keep it close. Time will tell...

Solid pitching can always cool hot bats, and Shields did just that getting a CG shutout 4-0 Rays Can't win 'em all. 9 in a row, with 6 on the road, is a pretty impressive feat, especially scoring 83 runs over that span. You're only as good as the next days starter. That's Josh Beckett. New win streak starts tomorrow. Who is Brian Gordon and how did he end up in the Yanks rotation?
