Mike Lowell?[views:7620][posts:38]___________________________________ [Nov 19,2007 1:11pm - ariavette ""] Just heard he signed with us for 3 years, dunno how true it is yet, anyone heard anything? |
| ___________________________________________ [Nov 19,2007 1:13pm - FuckIsMySignature ""] http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/news/story?id=3118926 looks like it could be legit. |
| __________________________________ [Nov 19,2007 1:17pm - brian_dc ""] hooray, maybe |
| ___________________________________ [Nov 19,2007 1:34pm - ariavette ""] i kind of had a feeling he would stay, though the idea of him going to the yanks was pretty scary, he knew what it would mean if he did |
| _______________________________________ [Nov 19,2007 1:46pm - mortalis nli ""] they didn't spend much, either. nice. |

| ________________________________ [Nov 19,2007 1:48pm - xmikex ""] Side note: Orlando Cabrera has to be one of the most under-appreciated players in recent history. http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/news/story?id=3118872 |

| ____________________________________ [Nov 19,2007 2:51pm - tyler nli ""] surprised we got him for only three years, score |
| ________________________________ [Nov 19,2007 3:08pm - rilly ""] lowell is only a product of the guys hitting in front of him. He's not worth the money |

| ___________________________________ [Nov 19,2007 3:21pm - ariavette ""] haha fair enough |
| __________________________________________ [Nov 19,2007 3:21pm - deadlikedavenli ""] thats completely untrue. Aside from (by the numbers) the best defensive 3rd baseman in red sox history he was hitting when manny and ortiz had dry spots throughout the season. He's definitely more comfortable near ortiz and ramirez but to say he couldnt do it without them is ridiculous. AVG .324, HR 21, RBI 120, OBP .378, SLG .501...Yep completely NOT worth the money. |
| __________________________________________ [Nov 19,2007 3:22pm - deadlikedavenli ""] that was directed to rilly btw. |
| ___________________________________ [Nov 19,2007 3:22pm - ariavette ""] exactly, he was hitting homers when they weren't, he's one of the reasons we won the series |
| ___________________________________________ [Nov 19,2007 3:23pm - FuckIsMySignature ""] wasnt he also the world series mvp? |
| __________________________________________ [Nov 19,2007 3:26pm - deadlikedavenli ""] sure was...i also believe he has the highest fielding percentage for a third baseman ever..i could be wrong but im pretty confident. |
| ____________________________________ [Nov 19,2007 3:27pm - sinislazy ""] I disagree completely on Cabrera / Garland. Trading a 33yo SS for a 28yo SP who's pitched 200 innings at league average for the last 3 years is completely stupid. I'm betting this leads to LA trading for either of the Miggys (Cabrera or Tejada). |
| ___________________________________ [Nov 19,2007 3:28pm - dreadkill ""] he also had a ridiculous season for the marlins a few years back with a whole mess of homers. manny and papi weren't in that marlins lineup. |
| ____________________________________ [Nov 19,2007 3:28pm - sinislazy ""] Der. I meant the other way around - Chicago got fleeced. |
| ___________________________________ [Nov 19,2007 3:30pm - dreadkill ""] garland is a decent pitcher, but i think cabrera is more valuable. if the angels get tejada or miggy cabrera, then the deal definitely made sense for them. |
| _______________________________________ [Nov 19,2007 3:31pm - mortalis nli ""] sinislazy said:Der. I meant the other way around - Chicago got fleeced. i agree. cabrera's underrated and all that, but you can never have enough pitching, especially a guy who eats up innings like garland, who also had a pretty fucking solid year just two years ago. mid 3 ERA i think. not too shabby in the AL. |
| ___________________________________ [Nov 19,2007 3:33pm - dreadkill ""] i guess i can see it your way, guys. makes sense for LA considering garland is still pretty young and not too far removed from success. |
| ____________________________________ [Nov 19,2007 3:43pm - sinislazy ""] I like Cabrera, but LA's got a ton of minor league talent and this enables them to spin off Ervin Santana and say, Wood, Aybar, etc. |

| __________________________________ [Nov 19,2007 9:19pm - Dankill ""] Now, where are we gonna trade off Coco to? And for what? |
| _________________________________ [Nov 19,2007 9:25pm - w3 nli ""] Dankill said:Now, where are we gonna trade off Coco to? And for what? more pitching, florida is looking to get rid of D Train. BornSoVile said:VIVA SCOTT COOPER!!! that dood had one good moment for the Sox and that was helping clinch the east division by hitting the pitching rubber and diving head first into well first. otherwise that dood was a heal. |
| ___________________________________________ [Nov 19,2007 9:37pm - FuckIsMySignature ""] Dankill said:Now, where are we gonna trade off Coco to? And for what? i say we go after Torii Hunter |
| _____________________________________ [Nov 19,2007 10:09pm - tyler nli ""] i say coco for pat neshak of the twins. i hope the dude above me isnt serious |
| ____________________________________________ [Nov 19,2007 10:20pm - FuckIsMySignature ""] eh i wouldnt even mind if coco stuck around. he's fun to watch in the outfield. |
| ___________________________________ [Nov 19,2007 10:37pm - mortalis ""] ellsbury is the starting center fielder, coco will probably go to atlanta or texas for a catcher. |
| ___________________________________ [Nov 19,2007 10:41pm - Dankill ""] Pssssshh Sorry, but I don't think Coco is gonna get us the D-Train. Plus, we are kinda stuffed on pitching and he has been shaky lately. Torii Hunter, we have no use for. Outfielder for an Outfielder while we are doing this trade to make room for Ellsbery to take center field. Makes no sense. If we can get a solid bullpen pitcher or a good prospect or two at the single or double A level, that would work well. Best bet for Coco would be if he gets traded into the National Leauge. |
| ___________________________________ [Nov 19,2007 10:43pm - Dankill ""] mortalis just reminded me of that. A catching prospect, which are hard to come by for guys that have SERIOUS potential. |
| ____________________________________________ [Nov 19,2007 10:45pm - FuckIsMySignature ""] how long does Varitek have left on his contract? |
| ____________________________________ [Nov 19,2007 10:47pm - dreadkill ""] coco for a catcher or more relief pitching. |
