Hanley Ramirez to Boston; Cruz to Seattle or Baltimore? (Panda a BoSox too)

So Boston drops ~200M on two players and doesn't address their pitching? Interesting. I'm under no impression that they're finished though. Ah, the joys of the AL East.

Yeah...no way they are done. They aren't going to spend the money on these two and NOT get pitchers. I can see Hamels, Scherzer, and Miller in their future.

I heard the Sox were going to exhume Cy Young too and pay him another 100 million.

Now THAT would be impressive!

Isn't Ted Williams' brain frozen somewhere?

Panda's agent says there is no deal in place. Still considering offers.

I can't see how resigning Nick affects signing Cruz as the article suggest. If the Orioles lose both they will need to consider a mini rebuild.

The mini-rebuild will only need to consist of signing Melky.

Let's not forget that the Red Sox dumped half their team at the trade deadline. They have money to spend and it's no surprise that they're spending it. They traded away Lester, Peavy, Lackey, Doubront and Miller, so they have some work to do on the pitching front.

If they lose both, no rebuild is necessary. We'd be fine.

Sign Gomes to platoon with De Aza in LF and Morse to DH. Let a platoon of Lough/Pearce handle RF. Spend the money saved on pitching.

It's not that much WAR man. It can easily be replaced. I still would like to have both, but not on stupid deals.

That would work fine.

Our offense would take a serious hit...Gomes ...great more dumpster diving.
