I've seen some good arguments, pro and con, especially with regards to his defense. The one thing I haven't seen, is anyone pointing out the obvious. That as much as the Mariners have placed a priority on left handed sluggers, given how Safeco Field tends to favor them, this team is in need of some power from the opposite side. The pending departure of third baseman Adrian Beltre means...

Under baseball’s warped draft-pick compensation system, a high-revenue team that exchanges one Type A free agent for another actually nets an extra pick — a supplemental choice between the first and second rounds. Oh, but this [...] Mon, 30 Nov 2009 13:00:26 -0500 http://www.yardbarker.com/mlb/article_external/Are_the_Red_Sox_targeting_Holliday_over_Bay/1654826 http://www.yardbarker.com/mlb/article_external/Are_the_Red_Sox_targeting_Holliday_over_Bay/1654826 http://www.yardbarker.com/mlb/article_external/Are_the_Red_Sox_targeting_Holliday_over_Bay/1654826 http://www.yardbarker.com/media/1/e/1e55f300cffc6ad24c20b5eea39e193c9890de1b/small/Picture_2.png The rumor mill is heating up on a few players this cyber Monday. Here's the latest: Ken Rosenthal and John Paul Morosi of Fox Sports think the Red Sox prefer to sign Holliay over Jason Bay to get a better draft pick: If the Sox lose Bay and sign both Holliday and free-agent shortstop Marco Scutaro, they not only will receive the same number of selections, but also might end up in better draft positions. Signing Holliday would cost the Sox their first-round pick. Signing Scutaro, a lower-...

Since Bay came to Beantown in the Manny Ramirez deal, Sox fans have gotten more then they could have asked for. This past season, he had career highs of home runs (36) and RBI (119).

My question for you this morning is what's the highest amount you'd want to see the front office pay to keep his 36 home runs, 119 RBIs, 162 strikeouts and .384 OBP (all 2009 stats) in Boston?
