I think we are in the mid 40s as far as payroll before arbitration money. Thats a good position.

No, that means no big spending.

Signing Choo, McCann (who I still want), and some random shitdick hitter and adding 50M in payroll isn't going to make the Sox an 80-some win team. Which is fine, that is partly how we got into this mess in the first place.

I am expecting international signings (Jose Abreu), and signing a two relievers. Wise spending that build for the future.

Relievers in general aren't consistent enough to be thought of long term.

a few predictions have the sox at 80 million w/arbys and what they do this offseason. I guess thats the budget.

I guess JR was on the score and said they still had money to spend. Idk.

We don't have to go all in. We could spend on Salty and trade for an outfielder or RHP starter.

I want another good hitter. Just one more and I'm good with the lineup because we won't be going crazy spending.

OK, Given our payroll, we could do this and still be under 100 million. Do you think if we added Cano and Ellsbury we'd be contenders? Financially speaking this would be the only year we take a hit and only a tiny one as Dunn comes off the books at year's end. Massive risk, but do we have a legit shot at a massive reward?

Lineup might look like this:
CF Ellsbury
LF DeAza
2b Cano
DH Dunn
RF Garcia
1b Abreu
SS Ramirez
C Phegley/Flowers
3b Beckham

I keep Tank as a replacement for Dunn in 2015.

wishful thinking. if you are going that route though, we must add a real catcher.

1) 100% agree.
2) I'm not sure we need a catcher from an offensive standpoint. I'd be happy with a good called game and an average to above average arm in that lineup.

So we are at $60 millionish going into 2014. Cano takes you to $85 and Ellsbury takes you between 15-20 million. putting us at $100-105.

It's enough to be a playoff team, no? (gosh I love blueberry pie/ :) )

I'd rather add Ellsbury and a catcher. Like Cano but no way in hell were signing Ellsbury let alone he and cano
