Threat_Level_RedSox
The Sox are potentially faceing needing A catcher, corner infielder and a DH this offseason, doubt they resign Beltre, Ortiz’s option is a gamble, and V-mart wants to catch but the sox think he’s best suited at 1B-DH. So Papelbons name’s going to be trade rumors soon. So here’s a few basic trades that make sense to me.
1. Papelbon For Kurt Suzuki. Sox rumored to like Suzuki and he’s entering Arb years, They have a high rated catching prospect waiting in the wing’s, oakland has a new closer every year, And Paps fits that Billy Bean trade and flip montra.
2.Miguel Montero, Sox had interest in him 2 years ago when he was a back up, arizona is close to selling mode with Upton probally being the only untouchable. they could expand the deal to include Reynolds or maybe even Drew to fill a 3B void.
3.Josh Hamilton, Should be a full time DH, could spot start OF, Texas won’t want to pay him, and the sox have plenty of arms that nolan ryan would like.
4.Mike Napoli, just sound like a fair trade, Angels have mathis and need a closer next year.
5.Mat Gamel or Casey McGehee, Brewers will trade one if they extend Prince
6.Prince Fielder or A-Gone, sox will have to throw in prospect, alot of prospects, doubt Padre’s will want to pay Paps 12 mil though.

1) Beane will say not a chance, he’s not giving up Suzuki. Besides the fact they don’t often give out large contracts and they have several other young cheap arms that can close.2) Possible, but I don’t see it happening. I’m betting for catcher it’s Martinez and Tek again or a stopgap while waiting on Exposito and maybe Ibarra for 2012.3) Yes the Sox farm has plenty of arms but most of them are deep works in progress and I doubt Kelly gets traded. That said I don’t see major sells in the Texas future.4) I’m pretty sure the Sox tried this route before and were soundly rejected.5) My bet is Prince gets traded but again I don’t see the Sox going all in on him.6) With the way the Pads have played, don’t bet on Gonzalez leaving soon. And if that trade involves Paps, it will have to be a 3way deal.

All trade would require more moveing parts then Paps, i agree some are long shots but it’s a short list of teams that plan to be in contention next year that need a closer.Any way the only one i think that has a legit shot is 2, 4 and maybe 5 depending on what the brewers would recieve in any fielder deal.

I think more of us remember Knoblauch for his suddenly hilarious inability to throw to first.
And I have to ask… how the hell does one get the nickname Oil Can???

how does one throw a Beardiversary?
Questions for the universe my friend.

Oh dear god… I’m actually going to ask the question. What is a beardiversary?
Civilization
It’s only the MOST manly thing you can throw. It symbolizes you can chop wood with your bare hands, wrestle with a bear, and shoot a mean slapshot.

Can’t you just have a shot of whiskey and watch a sporting match?

“a shot of whiskey”? what’s manly about having 1 shot. ๐

Boyd said an “oil can” was the term they used for cans of beer. So he was on the alcoholic track early.

McDowell yakked up 3 inherited plus one of his own on Oct 2 to lose the lead in the NL West, and the Dodgers never recovered. Thanks again Rog!

You mentioned the Mets trading for a pitcher in July but you forgot about those very same Mets trading the great Alejandro Pena (15 games: 2 wins & 11 saves) to Atlanta the very next month that pushed the Braves past Roger McDowell and the Dodgers
