Yup. Counting on future FAs is a fools errand. Nolan is example A....

ditto...

What does this mean?

If I had a twitter, theyd be hearing it from me too....

The sox front office rallying cry SATT (Seat At The Table)

Im not creative but it should have to do with having a seat at the table or a participation trophy... maybe proud of our effort

Not trying to say we are in on him, but what if part of the reason Manny was our first choice is because we thought he would be cheaper?

HAHAHA this is great. Can we also have a in the running trophy?

Hopefully he asks about going down swinging then giving up on Harper...

Are they saying that Harper will refuse to sign for them or that they just wont go as high as other teams... either way they are making themselves more of a joke

If the sox are truly out on harper, I am out on the sox... being in MT I wouldn't go to games any way but I will be buying $0 in merchandise and I will not watch any games. I will not go to the Great Falls Voyagers games either... this is DUM!

But the phils got a chance to match it...

I personally thought we would be willing to bid this much.... but I was wrong. I still believe don't bid against yourself. I don't think he would've signed had we upped it. I think we really had no chance if we weren't willing to go to $300 no matter what we did a month ago.

Or their agents think they have a chance of getting more money by waiting.... and they were hoping to get more than they are....

haha it be better if it was this

I just want to see eyeballs this week! give me some harper or machado eyeballs please!

I think I misunderstood what you were trying to say. I thought you were saying if we had that offer out there and he hadn't signed it, then he would probably just take a 1 year deal cuz he didn't want to play with us...

Or the agent would think, they already bid against themselves before, maybe we can get them to do it again if we just wait it out. if not we will just sign the 10 for 327

If I was a betting man I would gladly throw down some money on us signing MM with that line.

Besides the big guys, which I am following all of them, I am really paying attention to the guys from Great Falls last year. Sosa, Bush, Nunez, and Romy G are who I am following.

I think it ebbs and flows based on when media brings up the big market teams. If a media member mentions the yanks with MM or cubs with Harper everybody loses their minds...

Exactly, we have no reason to throw our hands up, even if the season started. We've always known we aren't going for it this season, its all about the future. If Manny wants to sign here in June why would we say no?

So I take a little pride in the size of this thread because my post was used to start it... (ive never actually started a thread) Also if we sign Manny, I will take it to mean I am lucky for the team, and you all should probably thank me

I was thinking maybe you could have a rule that your relief pitcher needs to be warmed up before you bring him in. Give him 3 pitches or a time limit or something to make it a shorter process...

; and he can throw and calls a good game but is a below-average receiver judging by this line, if mlb goes to an automated strike zone in the next couple of years it would completely change his defensive outlook. Plus this is not the scouting report of a butcher behind the plate that some say he is...
