Everyone on that team had a good season.. Even when struggling, with his hitting, after being out earlier in the season...Ellsbury contributed too.

Ellsbury hit .299 with some power, stole 50 bases, and played an excellent center field. Too bad the Sox have pretty much 0% chance of signing him.

So that happened last night.

I'm pretty sure he's a Boras client. He's going to get $20M/year from someone, and as much as I like him and appreciate what he's done, I hope it's not from the Red Sox.

I hate to see Ellsbury go, but I think JBJ will be a serviceable replacement.

I just want to be able to say it: BOSTON RED SOX 2013 WORLD SERIES CHAMPIONS.
Feels good.
Greetings from this outpost of Red Sox Nation in Manila, the Philippines. It was great watching the game over breakfast and beers. There was a glitch with the usual provider so the bar I was at scrambled and got the feed from the Fox station in Salt Lake City. There was a lot of Viagra commercials in that feed. The lousy thing about the international feed (which is what we got during the ALDS, the ALCS and up to Game 5 of the WS) is that the broadcasters were reading letters from international viewers asking about baseball rules and how it compares to cricket. The lousy part about getting the US feed was getting Buck and McCarver. Yeah, trying to be unbiased here, but they really can't hide their love for the Cards. Have a rockin' time in the Olde Towne on Saturday. God, I love the Sox!

I know it...if there was anyone they should stretch the wallett to meet..imho:roll:, but as buellski mentioned, they've got bodies, however with him having a somewhat off year, for him...think Sox mgmnt have gotten spoiled with his consistent production and defense over the last bunch of years...
HAHA, McCarver and Buck biased to Cardinals eh'?....can we say Martin's a dyed in the wool RedSox fan!
Man, McCarver's teams' World Series (vs Sox & Tigers) were truely epic events...both going 7 games...back in the day when played in the first week of October and during the day! Will never forget listening on the radio(on the school bus) and running home from the busstop and flipping the tube on...

Lets see what will happen with Lester too! He is going to want to get paid top dollar! Probably want a long term deal like 200-210 for 7 years according to some sports radio hosts

Given the contract he is going to get, they better let him walk... I would have no problem with a short term deal for big money, but I suspect Boras is going to be looking for something like an 8 year deal AND big money. I think he will get it, but with his injury history I think it is a bad gamble.
agreed
He's played like two full seasons his entire career. Far too much of a liability to tie that amount of cash into.
FWIW McCarver played for the Cardinals and Buck was their announcer for several years......just a small fact there.
He also had a cup of coffee in the Red Sox organization in the 74-75 seasons. Maybe that's his beef with Boston. The team didn't give him a full time job.

Yep...guess I didn't make it sound like he did. Was a good hitter too.
*Think you guys might be right about Ellsbury.....Sox do have a lot of people, enough to fill center with....

You guys have had your day. Now it's time to recognize, the NY Yankees still have won 3x as many World Series Championships then you guys.

Yeah, you guys have had a pretty good run these last few years. I was actually living in New England when the saux won in '04 That Sucked!! I about over now, but it ain't easy when they keep winning ;-)

sox.
It's a "what have you done for me lately" kinda world. Not sure if we can keep this up. Celtics are rebuilding, Bruins and Pats seem to be in decline, who knows what the Sox will look like next year ...
