Pedroia and Ortiz are "fan favorites" Ellsbury is capible of putting up MVP numbers (when he is not hurt) and Lester Buchholz would both be a number one on half the teams in the league. Miami traded on the other hand traded off almost everybody on the team. THey dropped their total payroll to under 18 million with the trade.

It's just dawned on them that baseball in Miami just isn't working and they're ticked off they just shelled out millions in tax payer money for a new stadium. I don't think much of the flack is about the actual deal itself. Mind you, I can't find an actual Marlins fan to ask, so who knows. I give it less than 5 years before that team is elsewhere.<br /><br />As for the Sox, yeah, I'm not waiting with baited breath for word on the signing of a backup catcher. Seems like a nice guy, and nothing against him, but yes we really need to pick up the pace a bit. I know Ben was quoted as saying they wouldn't make any "impulsive decisions", but they need to do something. Maybe he's waiting under after the winter meetings. Who knows. I fear we're in for a long long winter.Dochttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17508137958006427979noreply@blogger.com
