All the big offseason moves...
first one is Yanks trading Gary Sheffield to Tigers for 3 pitching prospects
looks like the red sox won the Matsuzaka bid

Although it could very well be true it's only been Buster Olney from ESPN reporting that the Red Sux got Daisuke. So I guess I'm still waiting on real confirmation before I jump the gun. However, if they really paid $38-45 million just for the negotiating rights to a pitcher that has never pitched in the majors, along with the 40 million more they'd have to pay him for his contract... I just think it's quite risky. He could very well be Hideki Irabu. I was hoping the Yanks would get him but for like 25 million upfront. I don't think the Yanks will get Zito or Schmidt.
3 prospects is pretty good for a selfish 38 year old piece of crap Sheffield. Humberto Sanchez really has some promise...some gordito eating Fatolo Colon promise. Dude is 6 ft 6, 270 lbs. I'd like him to sumo wrestle Sidney Fatson.

| Originally posted by LeopoldStotch i think so myself. I think the Yankees got way the better deal out of this. Sheffield is not the same player as 5 or 10 years ago(roid era). Everyone could significally notice his drop in numbers since he openly admitted to using "legal" roids. And i don't think he could play as a "role model" for the younger players on the team. If Pudge couldn't be their role model, do you think Sheff could do a better job ? |
Looking like the Yanks will trade Jaret Wright to the Orioles for reliever Chris Britton
Cubs will keep Aramis Ramirez, signing him to a 5-year deal, and Kerry Wood (with a 1-year deal)

I could see the Yankees getting into the Zito sweepstakes now that they have 3 pitchers when they resign overrated Mike Mussina. That would be Moose, Wang, and back surgery piece of crap the Big Bust Randy Johnson. Oh yeah, someone named Carl Pavano. He's worthless as Kyle Farnsworthless. I mean with the Red Sux forking over 42 MILLION dollars just to negotiate with Daisuke plus 40 million more in contract... sheesh that's a lot of moolah for an unproven guy. We shall see. Yanks can win the post season with Zito. Sure beats the Big Bust or Jaret Wright. Why would the Orioles trade for Jaret Wright? Oh wait... it's the Orioles. Zito is kind of mediocre though, 3.83 ERA over the last 5 years with a declining strikeout to walk ratio every year. Not a good warning sign for future success. I might be inclined to take a flyer on Gil Meche from Seattle though.

Most Sox fans are blasting off about how their pitching staff is gonna be great and I just don't get it. As you say, Schilling is like 53. Josh Beckett is worthless. ERA of 5? Well.. that's as good as the Big Bust Randy Johnson. He has this arrogant attitude that tries to throw fastballs by everybody and as a result, the dude gives up a lot of rocket launches into the upper deck. I agree about Matsuzaka, 90-100 million could be what they spend on the guy and that is enormous pressure. Beckett has good stuff and he didn't succeed in Boston. Look at all the guys that left the Yankees and went on to do well. It's a tough environment.
We'll see how Papelbon responds to being a starter now, I'm very curious about that.

| Originally posted by King Ecnal lol... well Sox did have Nomo for a couple seasons... and that was difficult enough for me to endure... It will be tough if they get this guy, because he will be under SO MUCH Pressure, it won't even be funny... He will get no free pass or anything... so he better be the real deal, or it won't be pretty... Sox fans will see the $$$$$ they paid for him, and expect Santana like numbers... I'm not expecting anything big... afterall, its the sox... can't expect too much... and Curt Schilling is like 53 now... time is winding down... |
Randy Johnson clearly already sucks. His expiration date is long past. He had an ERA of over 5 last year.

Official winning bid for the right to talk with Matsuzaka and Boras - $51.1 million! 
That's about double A-Rod's yearly salary

If I was Red Sux fan I'd be more concerned about the 44 million dollar contract their offering J.D Drew, the guy is ALWAYS hurt, he sucks...
