Winter Meetings thoughts on Mike Napoli, Angel Pagan, R.A. Dickey - Tom Verducci - SI.com

But unless he takes to Fenway or reverts to 2011 form, he's nothing exciting and could wind up being a big disappointment -- he's a slugger who can't run, has no natural position, has never played many games (partly due to being a catcher) and is north of 30.

Fine for a stopgap signing, I suppose, as I don't think he'll be taking ABs from anybody promising? And if he's got character and work ethic (I have no idea whether this is the case), a good guy to be around any younger players who make the club.
The interesting point for mine is everything the Red Sox should be doing to rebuild a team with youth and athleticism, they're doing the complete opposite.

*sigh* hearing the rumors I'm thinking of leasing a 5 yr spot on the Blue Jays bandwagon.

a) The Sox are not doing it right

b) The Jays look scary good.

Until the Sox address their pitching deficiencies (basically every level is a problem) they'll be consigned to the doldrums.

I'd rather see the Jays than the damned Rays and Yankees a top the division if Cherrington is intent on rebuilding Dad's Army.

feels like we're watching the Jets offseason, more worried about press.

some starting pitching would be nice.

I mean Lackey ain't going to be able to carry that rotation on his shoulders next year.

Mike Napoli is an ok signing. Hate Victorino.

Think Victorino is a good player.

Astounded they needed to pay him 13 per for 3 years.

the market is crazy.

Someone said Dempsey for Ellsbury. that makes sense. i can't see Ells staying here...might as well deal him.

Yankees offered Youk 12M? for what? .235? good luck to them, and congrats to Youk.
