Theo knows our farm. We're not going to give up the prospects it would take because we'd have to way overpay. He's not a #1, and he might get a team to give up prospects as if he was one. To play Devil's Advocate. Theo can ask BC for a list of players he would deal. If another team doesn't knock his socks off. He has a good idea of where they stack up compared to what Sox have to offer. I agree. We're not going to overpay. But, if nobody does. Then, our odds might actually go up since he has a better idea of what he'd be getting. There are maybe 4-5 teams looking to add Garza IMO. I think someone will give up a lot to get him. I don't want to give up a Ranaudo or Cecchini to get him.

I would like to see the Red Sox move forward with what they have. But Henry and Co. might think a playoff rotation of Buccholz, Lackey, and Garza would be enough to have a real shot at the WS. In that case I could see the team dealing some real talent in order to acquire Garza if they believe that is the piece that will make them a WS team. The Red Sox are still a business and if you give the front office a slight chance to go from MLB joke in 2012 to World Series champion in 2013, I don't think it's incomprehensible to think Ben would be pressured to go get Garza no matter the cost. Theo knows our farm. We're not going to give up the prospects it would take because we'd have to way overpay. He's not a #1, and he might get a team to give up prospects as if he was one.

Well the pitching match-ups will all change when the Sox pickup Garza. Not gonna happen.

Bogaerts will be a bigger super star than Puig.

I'm a big fan of Webster, hoping he can keep improving with every start.

Wow. Not sure if serious. Devers won't be close to the bigs by 2015 anyway. It's called organizational depth, he's only 16 years old and could easily be a bust. It actually makes all the sense in the world. He is very serious. You should be able to tell.never seen a forum where italics means sarcasm.

i can't believe they wasted all this money on a third baseman. It's probably the deepest position the Sox have. Does this mean they trade WMB and Cecchini? What about Bogaerts? Does this mean they don't believe in Iglesias or plan to move Xander to 1b or LF? Or do they have a huge trade lined up? I mean it obviously doesn't make sense to sign a 16 year old third baseman when we have so many who'll be anchoring our 2015 lineup. What's the deal. Wow. Not sure if serious. Devers won't be close to the bigs by 2015 anyway. It's called organizational depth, he's only 16 years old and could easily be a bust. It actually makes all the sense in the world.

Yeah, that's probably it. If Boldt signs for $1M (not saying it's likely, just playing with the #'s) then the most we could offer Longh is an extra $91,100 on top of the allowed $100K.

Give the kid Webster a chance. Looks like he's been nervous, let him settle down.

I could see Xan being a starting util player like Lowrie was. Play every day, but when Drew plays, move him off of SS. I always thought the way to set up that situation was have one guy play SS/3B, and the other guy do SS/2B, but what do I know. Could just as easily be that Xan is playing 3B most of the time, with the occasional switch to SS when you want to rest Drew and play WMB. Point stands, that you would call Xan a utility guy who starts. Semantics! The most important thing for Xander when he eventually gets called up is that he plays every game. Having him sit doesn't do him any good when he could be getting at bats every game in AAA.
