@JLester31 I hope you enjoy taking Joe Maddon's hard dick up the ass.

I know I need to get less mad at stupid people but the guys like Yellon and that Vlahos guy and that fucking Gieryna fellow who criticized every step of the rebuild because they were stupid, impatient twits and now want to say OKAY THEO YOU'VE WON ME OVER can rot. This was the plan all along and they spelled it out in clear terms at every stop. There was never any time where they didn't do exactly what they said they'd do, so fuck you. You don't get to act like they came around to your way of thinking or something.
I will vow, for the sake of peace, not to complain about David Ross between now and his first start next year- 10/26/2015

Nicely played. That was so out of context that I read my own last name and my first thought was, "What a weird name."

How about trading for Hamels and signing Price next year to put three frontline lefties in the same rotation? I'll hang up and wait for my answer.

I thought signing Lester meant that giving up top prospects for Hamels was no longer necessary. Let the Red Sox do that. Sign Ervin Santana and let's go.

Not necessary, but I'd be happy about it. With Lester getting 6/$155 million, 4/$96 million for Hamels almost looks like a bargain.

Okay. Out of the following options:

1) Sign Masterson, McCarthy, or Santana
2) Trade prospects for Hamels
3) Roll with the guys you've got

Which do you prefer and why?

I'd do #2 if I could get away with not giving up any of my top ranking guys. I might give up Baez in a Hamels deal but that's about it. Otherwise I like McCarthy, Masterson, Santana in that order.

#2. Something built around Baez, Almora/McKinney and Edwards/Johnson. That still leaves them a good amount prospect firepower in the system and a rotation of Hamels, Lester, Arrieta, Hammel and Hendricks is about as good as it gets in baseball.

Lineup after April looks something like:

1. Valbuena - 2B
2. Castro - SS
3. Rizzo - 1B
4. Bryant- 3B
5. Soler - RF
6. Montero - C
7. Alcantara - CF
8. Coghlan/Platoon guy  - LF

They'd still have Russell, Schwarber, Almora/McKinney waiting in the wings, along with plenty of other mid-level options to fill in gaps.
