1. Means: No.
2. Vaughn to rent a .200 hitter for 1 season: No (and I know I didn't put Gallo in best light, but the Sox have been down that road before).
3. Probably a positive expectation trade (although I wouldn't do it).
You may be right about this. Here we are, on the edge of February, and there is no CBA. Unless something serious happens real soon, spring training will be pushed back and so will the regular season. Usually, this is the time fans look forward to spring and baseball. Instead, we are limbo because we really don't know how far this is going to progress. Unless we see something substantial happen, I am assuming we are losing a part of the season.
The guy was MVP two years ago. He had 30 hrs and 2nd in majors with 117 RBIs last season.
This board was having discussions about putting Abreu out to pasture years before his MVP season. Why don’t we wait for production to actually begin to drop before we put him on the bench as a coach.
How many people on this board wanted Sox to get 40 yr. old ‘roider Nelson Cruz last year. I don’t get people who want to replace Abreu.
