... they f'd the whole Lester thing from start to finish, and now they've landed their LHer for next year. ...Wade f'n Miley ?...bwahahaha. ...their starting rotation now consists of; (with last year's ERAs) C. Buchholz 5.34 W, Miley 4.34 J. Kelly 4.11 B. Workman 5.03 A. Webster 5.17
...I think if they are willing to go all in on Max, they would have certainly gone all in on Lester...and for considerably less money.
I come home from Christmas shopping and I see all these trades including Boston and the Yankees are quiet as a mouse. What the HELL is going on with this team?????
The Yankee Kids sing: Christmas time is getting closer and I'm getting scared, Will that nerdy Brian Cashman get my team repaired?
____________________________ Excluding future ramifications (prospects acquired by Det from AZ in Shane Greene ) and Scherzer still up in the air. Current scoreboard Tigers Plus: Shane Greene, Cespedes Redsox: Plus: Porcello, Minus: Cespedes, Lester Yankees: Plus: Gregorius, Andrew Miller Minus: Greene, Drob
LOL.....hopefully at least the Bosox will be cellar dwellars once again.... The only thing better than seeing Boston eat out of the rats cellar, is the Yanx winning another World Series....!
Just a bad day today. I wanted Cashman to do more and I am hoping he will in the coming weeks. I just hate seeing Boston making huge improvements while Yankees did nothing and it was maddening. I am better now.
...Jill, IMO, the moves the Sox made were purely out of desperation. Sure they picked up some pitching but if you look at it, they pretty much have a staff of #3 starters...they have no ace. And unless they can either snare Shields or Scherzer, they can forget about the PS.

Rick, I agree about there staff having #3's but I feel we have to sign Max. I just don't understand the Yankees and Medical Staff's position on Tanaka, It seems to me it's not a matter of if, but a matter of when he will need to shut it down and have whatever procedure needed. Otherwise without Max, we are no better then the Red Soxs. Yes, our guys have a higher proven ceiling (Pineda, Nova, Etc) but otherwise I feel we share the same level as the Red Soxs.
He just assumed that all the good, logical & well informed posts come from me. Actually its quite understandable.
