The biggest question with Price was did he really want to come and pitch in Boston. He`s flat out quoted as saying he came for ONE reason, the $$$$$$. Can`t fault a guy for that but, the Sox had J. Lester yes a few years older but a known commodity that had proven it in this market, especially playoff games. The owner, John Henry, stated we don`t give 30+ year old pitchers massive long term deals. IMO Lester stays for 130 for 6, but all water under the bridge now. A large % of the fan base really wants Price to opt out of this deal but the chances of that happening are pretty slim, now with the recurring elbow problems more likely zero.

Kind of hijacking the thread, but Mauer is more of a "should he / shouldn't he" in the HOF talks. His first 7-8 years he had a couple batting titles, MVP and All-Star almost every year. Since moving to first he's hit .260 ish with 7-10 hrs / season.

Mauer is a catcher so I guess he gets credit for what he's done, but to me his career is no different than Mattingly or Nomar's. I don't think he makes the cut.

His collapse is pretty interesting really since 2014 he's only been a slightly above avg hitter and that doesn't hack it at 1b.

Speaking of Mauer, Justin Morneau sort of vanished too, for the most part although he did win a cheap batting title, after a few quite good years in the late 00s.

Back to the subject of Albert..
He did go 3 for 5 w/ 3 runs scored, 2 home runs and 4 Rbi the other night, for a brief moment we got to see vintage Albert again! Yes his play has declined, but he is still going to probably drive in close to 100 runs this year. Also he is less than 100 hits away from 3000. I would like to see him retire with a .300 average but if he hangs around to much longer that may be in jeopardy. |
