It's easy, and only takes a few moments.im glad crawford is gone because i think it increases the chances of keeping ellsbury. that and i dont think crawford was cut out for boston. hes to sensitive. hes a very good player but dumping his insane deal was the way to go. i did like him. to bad he cant stay healthy.
You must be unfamiliar with the Bob Lobel "why can't we get players like that?" era.I think most fans expect Agon to play well back on the west coast and Crawford to return to form next year, wouldnt be surprised if Becket pitches well either. As long as the Sox put a good team together and wins no one will care what goes on in lala land.

Sitting here the day after the trade, everyone is calm and rational. If, 2 years from now, A-Gon is hitting .325 with 29 HRs in July, Beckett is 11-3, 2.98 and Crawford is .322 with a couple dozen stolen bases, people in this region will be very critical - despite the fact that, by all indications, those men were simply not able to compete at that level in this town.
i like what Brian cashman said about the trade. great trade for the redsox unfortunately.i'm really surprised gonzo didn't work out for the red sox after that initial season
i thought he would be alot better in the al than having to play in petco
maybe he just got old extremely fast

Epstein ****ed us over bad. He was great at building a farm system. Couldn't manage free agency for ****.
Of course, Ortiz was nothing until he met Manny's pharmacist.
This is a pretty ignorant comment. Ortiz has produced big time the past 4 years, he's a natural pure power hitter. Yes he did show up on that list a long time ago but don't forget that list included all kinds of supplements not just steroids, and Ortiz did point out years prior in a Globe article that many latin players are probably taking supplements that they don't know would put them at risk on the list.

i think Ortiz is doing the diluted juice now ...
I really don't care anymore who is doing it ... I do care when we sign a juicer
and they go organic. :nono: ... we sign you as a juicer you keep juicing.
I haven't cared for years because I automatically assume some level of assistance is administered in elite sport.i think Ortiz is doing the diluted juice now ...

I don't think Ellsbury has a lot of time left in Boston. We've already made a mistake giving someone with his skill set a massive contract. Giving one to someone over 30 is bad news.
I say try and trade him for Andrus, Profar is waiting in the wings for them at SS.
