BoSox Sign Ex-Dodgers

今天是否是簽約的好日子?Theo Epstein今天也簽了兩位Dodgers,以五年70M的報價簽走FA市場最好的OF J.D. Drew,並且說要拿他打五棒,排在Ortiz和Manny之後

這也是我為何懶得提Annual Manny trade talks的原因:Theo假如真的願意把Manny Ramirez賣給Dodgers,那農場總管Logan White大概是第一位吐血的人吧,雖然老闆"the monkey face"極力蒐集各處2002年BoSox血脈的政策下,Dodgers要是真的未來換到Manny我不會太意外,但不太可能是現在,且Manny也沒說他是否願意來LA,這邊的媒體已經開始炒Manny是team cancer和Little與Manny的話題了,我想LA的噁爛媒體不會對他客氣到那裡去,應該也會影響他的意願。

對我們有利的一點是BoSox今天也以四年36M簽下Julio Lugo。至少我們內野不會疊床架屋,也不會在外野看到Lugo的身影了。另一方面Padres以保證一年10M,外加player option 6.5M和保證投滿多少局數有8M (160IP)、9M (170IP)、10M (180IP)的條件來吸引Greg Maddux,雖然尚未談成,但我相信Maddux會願意同意類似這樣的約。相較$cott Bora$原喊價兩年16M,目前這是市場上最好的選擇。

Maddux雖是type A,但F. Col沒發Maddux arbitration...哈哈哈。還有Padres也便宜撿走Jose Cruz Jr.。

well... Maddux staying in the MLB is hurting his career averages.. ie. ERA.... but heh heh.... maybe going to SD can turn that trend around.

Indeed. It would also be good for him to stay away from the east coast and away from the American League.

Well, at least my blog's subtitle doesn't need to change for a few years.
