The 2d segment was very good indeed. It was right on the money. He is an egotist at the money level and he thinks he can do it and he wants to know now. Not likely!
So, does he stew the rest of the way? The Sox might not want to go through that and finally give him what he wants . . . whatever that is . . . probably even more money. In which case I’d tell him to look around. He’d go high and he deserves it, but he would be better advised to forget the money and go for family.
He’s acting like a child. He’s fair game. Bust his balls, maybe wake him up.

Trump cards... The Red Sox did not land a big bat this offseason, but they may get the sabermetric equivalent in a roundabout way, because on paper, Boston has a pitching staff like they have never had a pitching staff. John Lackey, the free agent ace from the west, joins established east coast ace Josh Beckett (hungry in a contract year), lefty ace John Lester, ace-in-waiting Clay Bucholtz, and ace from the far east Daisuke Matsusaka. Great pitching, good defense and Papelbon/Bard in the bullpen will take the pressure off the hitters and the offense. Pedroia & Co. don’t have to overswing trying to hit a home run every time. So, look for the Red Sox to hit better than expected in 2010. Fenway will be a test of an interesting sabermetric equation. Great pitching + great defense = better hitting? Five aces are in the hole. Bet on it. (0)
