SOM. I am still planing on getting an SOM league when I'm down there. I am leaning toward the 61 or 56 seasons. But if it means a difference I will be flexible.
Being a strong Yankee fan, it still hurt to see the Bosox self destruct. A shame. Hope they can rebuild fast. The money they saved from the big trade should make them shoppers in the FA market. Swisher is a free agent and I doubt the Yankees will resign him again. Swish would be a great addition in Fenway.

Bobby V's abrasive style did him in. Not popular with the players and I think they didn't want to play for him anymore. It seems like there was a great exodus of ball players. Some might say that it was a salary dump but it can also seem like he wanted to get rid of troublesome personalities. I think managemnet backed him but he was his own worst enemy especially after he alienated Kevin Youkillis. Not a popular move in the clubhouse.
They where considering John Farrell a while back for being their manager but he is presently the Toronto manager. We'll see who they bring in. I think they would need someone who is going to groom the younger players as they are in the rebuilding mode after the salary dump. Of course it wouldn't hurt to get along with veteran players like Pedroia. Heck of a player is Pedroia. I wonder how my Red-Sox buddy feels in terms of what was a worse season, last years collapse or this years implosion. I'll have to ask him.

I just wish Cano hustled like his counterpart second baseman Pedroia. Cano is an outstanding talent BUT he doesn't hustle at all times. Derek should have a long talk with him. I have seen some great second baseman such as Richardson, Fox, Maz, Morgan and Alomar, and Cano is almost as good defensively. But the whole packagee Cano is the best becaus eof his bat. Just wish he'd bust his ass a little more. But everyone can't be a Pedroia, Jeter, and Rose. And from a Yankee fan "I hope the Red Sox rebuilding period is a short one."

Nothing irks me more than a player not hustling. You think these guys would realized how priviledged there talent is that allows them to play a game for a lot of money. They consider themselves performers soooooooooooooo.... PERFORM. I hope there rebuilding goes well as they is nothing like competive, combative games that are meaningful. Red-Sox vs Yankees battles are the best in sports. They usually last over four hours.

Put Pedroia at third base for the Yankees and he will be fine.

What took so long? How did he last past the big LA trade?
John Farrell sounds like a good idea. Frankly, I was never a big Francona fan, but I wouldn't hesitate to bring him back.

Pedroia and Lester for A-Rod? Two young stars for an aging underperforming second baseman? Why would they want to do that? Do you want to get rid of Will Middlebrooks as well?
