***World Champion Red Sox Offseason Thread***

[NT!]

i have been refusing to jump on the santana bandwagon because he has thrown a lot lot lot of innings and he seemed to decline last year for no particular reason. he hasn't pitched well in fenway (small sample size, i know) and he will basically have to be picture [censored] perfect in every possible way in order for the ass clown boston media to accept him in the same town as saint beckett. a couple of bad starts or a DL stint and all you'll hear the WEEIdiots talking about is the 20 million dollar BUST who couldn't handle the spotlight and doesn't have any heart, and how we gave up cancer boy just to keep him away from the yankees.

that said, getting him without giving up buchholz or jacoby just seems insane. unfortunately what it means is that masterson will be the next joe nathan, lester will morph into andy pettite etc etc.
