00100000010101000110000101101101011101010111001001100001 [Adrian] Beltre: The [Red] Sox want him back at the right price, but do not necessarily need him. They can move [Kevin] Youkilis to third, find a one-year stopgap at first, then go nuts for a first baseman after next season, when Albert Pujols, Adrian Gonzalez and Prince Fielder all could hit the market…
[David] Ortiz: He told WEEI last week that he wouldn’t feel “comfortable” playing under a one-year deal if the Red Sox exercised his $12.5 million club option next season.
One option for the Mets as they plot their future is to hire an executive above general manager Omar Minaya, an accomplished veteran to restore credibility to their franchise.
Among them: Former Rangers and Indians GM John Hart, outgoing Nationals president Stan Kasten and former A’s GM and Padres CEO Sandy Alderson.
File this name for future reference: Hitoshi Tamura.

Too bad.
As for the rest, I really don't agree. Most of the players who did well for the team who weren't hurt had seasons that were either a) out of line with what they normally do, or b) involve players that aren't going to be around next year, probably.
And can we please stop pretending that Albert Pujols is ever going to be a free agent? Thank you.
Sorry but if you don't want a guy to be your GM at least have the decency to put him out of his misery.
Can they? Is he still serviceable there?
This year, that is a grand total of twice, for 15 innings.
Plus 30 games in 2008 and 10 in 2007. Any Sox fan has seen a lot of Youkilis at third in recent years.
Your endpoints are pretty suspect, is all I'm saying.
But if you think he's a very good 1B (available stats seem to have him at +5-10) it's a different calculation. He needs to be average or very close to make it a wash.
Oooh, cryptic. Japanese outfielder entering his mid-30s (he'll be 34 in March). Presumably he's planning to make the jump to MLB?
1. He has only played two games over there this year. Practice makes perfect.
2. He is 32 next year, that's an age where players start moving TO first base, not FROM first base.
3. I wonder if the hand injury is the type of thing that would cause him to have a problem throwing.
Like I said, I think he'll be just fine but I don't think it is a lock or anything close to it. If they can sign Dunn or trade for Gonzalez/Fielder they should do it but I would hate to see an Overbay type brought in.
as a yankee fan, I look forward to the Prince Fielder 8 year deal in Boston.
are you sure you are a Yankee fan?
That's what it says on the waistband of his underpants.

Sorry, the American Law of Baseball Names states that anyone named Hitoshi must be a pitcher, just like anyone named Fielder must be a hitoshi.
