Just heard on ESPN 710 that Lowell turned down 4 years from the Dodgers to sign a 3 Year deal to stay with the BoSox.

I'm becoming more and more disenchanted with Colletti. He was willing to give 4 years to Lowell? Why does he seem to think we have this gaping hole at 3B.Quote:

And our other "prospects" (Kemp, Loney, Broxton, Billingsley) are not prospects anymore. They're legit major leaguers.
If that's the case, thank you Mike Lowell! Now can we just go with LaRoche at third.Quote:

We need a legit CF!

Dodgers lead in Cabrera race.......Kemp, LaRoche, Kershaw seems to be the favorite package. I REALLY REALLY hope that doesn't happen. I honestly think we are better off with our 3 pieces instead of 1 dynamite player. I honestly think Kershaw will be something special, and would HATE to give him up. Kemp and Cabrera would be a wash, and ****! give Andy a shot for God's sake Ned!
Overall you make good points but this one made me laugh.Quote:

I've said it before and I'll say it again. While I want to go with the play the kids philosophy, I won't be up in arms if we acquire Miguel Cabrera. He's a big time difference maker in any lineup.
ok i shoulda been more clear in that respect. I meant it a wash as in I'd deal Kemp for Cabrera any day of the week, so it wouldn't bother me at all. But to add LaRoche AND Kershaw??? hell no!Quote:

I still ****ing hate the idea of trading Kershaw and Kemp for Cabrera. Kershaw is going to be an ace and Kemp is going to be a perennial all star.
Indeed, I just wish Ned realizes this and doesn't pull the trigger.Quote:
