    Players we should get

    What kind of players do you think the redsox should go after, after the season?  Maybe C.C. Sabathia?

    Re: Players we should get

    CC Sabathia is probably the most mentioned name on here but after seeing the way the Brewers have wrecklessly abused his arm on 3 days rest with no intentions, obviously, of re-signing him i'm starting to have second thoughts about him. Also, the way the Sox have developed the young kids over the past few years they've done a good job of convincing ME and I only speak for myself here, of no longer being a free agent junkie, but talk to me in the off season when the hot stove heats up. Let's see what happens with Tek and where the need is in December or January.

    Re: Players we should get

    YES!! I would love to get Sabathia! Could you imagine?? Him... Dice-k... Lester... Beckett... I'm even have high expectations for Buchholz! Maybe Wake will return next year... if not, that's not a huge loss... but I would like him to return. Unfortunately... the Yankees want Sabathia too. As you can imagine... they will be hard to outbid. I mean... we could... but it depends on what we have to compete, if the Yanks are offering CC a ridiculous amount... Theo probably won't go too too far. I would love to get him though.

    However... I am pretty sure he is a free agent... there is one pitcher I would like to get more than Sabathia. I will give you a hint: he is currently a Cub who's name isn't Zambrano. Give up?? Rich Harden. I would love to get Harden, yes, even more than CC. This year, Rich is 10-2, with a 2.06 ERA.

    Okay... one more thought. If we can't land Harden or CC... I would also love to get Jake Peavy. I don't think he is a free agent... but maybe the Padres would be willing to create a blockbuster trade in the offseason.

    Okay... enough dreaming... that is just who I would want to see in a Sox uniform in 2009. Right now I will stop living in a fantasy and focus on right now in 3... 2... 1. Okay I'm good! Lol

    I forgot about Harden.  I would rather have him than Sabathia becasue Sabathia has been beat up so much by the Brewers and CC has not done a good job in the playoffs.  But Harden has had a lot of injuries.

    sabathia is great in the regular season, he would be a valued addition.

     how about josh hamilton from the rangers, he goes 4 for 4 pretty much every time he plays fenway.

    Re: Players we should get

    Josh Hamilton isnt a free agent. We should get maybe Oliver Perez, Sabathia, although that would be a wierd Rotation, Beckett, Lester, Sabathia, Matsuzaka, Wakefield.

    Resign Sean Casey, maybe Orlando Cabrera and Alex Cora, if not then Nomar maybe or Rafeal Furcal. Sign Rocco Baldelli or Mike Cameron, or maybe Carl Crawford.

    Resign maybe Wakefield too. DOnt resign Byrd, Resign Schilling maybe.

     

    Lol, almost all of Yankees starting pitchers are free agents.

    Ponson, Pettite, Mussina, Pavano

    Re: Players we should get

    Heres an idea! what about the Rockies' Matt Holliday? Every year he hits .320 and anywhere between 25 and 40 home runs! He's also still kind of young at 29. the homeruns may go down if he gets out of Colorado but still a good hitter.

    Re: Players we should get

    Good luck with that since Bay is already signed through 2009. We dont need him in Right Field and hes too slow to play center field.

    Re: Players we should get

    Since I feel that what we need the most is a right hand hitter off the bench that can play the outfield and be taught some 1st base..The Woonsocket Rocket may be healthy again..If he comes on the market..Rocco Baldelli would be a good fit in Fenway..he would likely pepper the "Monstah" and slip a few Bucky  !@#$%^&*())(*(*&^%$$##@! Dent type pop up Homers over it..he can run, has a suitible arm and is not a liability on defense..Toss Baldelli,Casey and Kotsay in a hat..pick two!..Me? I vote for Baldelli and Kotsay!  The "Mayor" is a nice guy and all...but that high home run count,kind sez it!
