Greg The Bull Luzinski Posted April 3, 2008 Share Posted April 3, 2008 QUOTE(fathom @ Apr 2, 2008 -> 08:00 PM) Well, duh! It just infuriates me so much to think that we can up most of our farm system this offseason, spent a lot of money on relievers, sent down Fields for Crede....and we're still a bad team. With 2/3 of the line up back, the big changes are fantasy. Where is the revitalized BA, Fields, Q, etc ... But Fathom, you and I could b**** about that forever. Same team, different year.

witesoxfan Posted April 3, 2008 Share Posted April 3, 2008 People from Cleveland just wish they could get the hell out of Cleveland, and are jealous Thome did. That's really the only reasoning I have. I don't know how you could boo such a great person and player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fathom Posted April 3, 2008 Share Posted April 3, 2008 So here's a question that hopefully we won't have to deal with, but could be a possible situation: what if the Sox struggle this year, and have the chance to trade O. Cabrera at the deadline.... Do they do that instead of hold out for the arbitration draft picks? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When he gets finished counting his money at night, I'm sure he sleeps just fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This lineup would give the Red Sox's lineup a run for their money. Ellsbury and Lugo are faster than anyone we have....so yes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
