and now the rumor is that Blanton is not bringing his talents to Boston. - Mel Profit Dec 14, 07:36 14
- that's clever times triplicate. -- nm - TFox Dec 14, 07:45 8
  - I must be missing it. What was the point? Are they suggesting that if the Red Sox hadn't show interest in Blanton, - Jim Dec 14, 07:48 7
    - If they had budgetary concerns about adding Lee's contract, knowing that they had suitors for salary relief on Blanton would up their gumption, yes. -- nm - TFox Dec 14, 07:49 6
      - Comeon TFox...let's go play with our new Left Fielder and 1st Baseman. These guys don't like us. Diva will make us cookies when we're done. -- nm - Mel Profit Dec 14, 07:52
      - But Blanton was available until Lee signed so really....it's a nothing story. - Will Hunting Dec 14, 07:50 4
        
        what does available mean? they can say someone's available, and if no one bites, then great, he was "available" but it gets them nothing. - TFox Dec 14, 07:53 2
        
        I meant, Wasn't Available. Lee agreed...then Blanton was out there. - Will Hunting Dec 14, 07:55 1
        
        but... duh. you don't trade him until the guy agrees to come take his place. - TFox Dec 14, 08:03
        
        Kinda what I'm thinking. Seems like Red Sox fans are trying to find a way to be part of the story here. nm -- nm - Jim Dec 14, 07:51

- Your IM? Huh? - Will Hunting Dec 14, 07:36 3
  - moving Joe Blanton's salary. -- nm - Mel Profit Dec 14, 07:38 2
    - They'll get him gone somehow. - Will Hunting Dec 14, 07:38 1
      - absolutely but if Theo got the market jump started that's a great little detail to the story. -- nm - Mel Profit Dec 14, 07:42
