Red Sox claim Max Ramirez on waivers

PrintPer Jon Paul Morosi, Evan Grant, and others on Twitter, the Boston Red Sox have claimed Max Ramirez off of waivers from the Texas Rangers.
Given Boston's interest in Ramirez before the season, this isn't surprising, and I'm a little surprised the Rangers didn't try to (or weren't able to) work out a deal with Boston in exchange for Ramirez, so they could get something in return.
Boston supposedly was more interested in him as a DH/1B type than as a catcher, so it will be interesting to see how they use him this spring. If he's a catcher, he will, of course, be competing with another former Ranger catching prospect, Jarrod Saltalamacchia, who is now with the Red Sox.
My guess is that Boston tries to run him through waivers in late March, in the hopes of outrighting him and giving him another season at AAA to see if his bat rebounds.

Why throw that tag on a 20-year-old?
Strop is five years older, a reliever, and a converted shortstop. They both throw hard and are Dominican. That’s about where the similarities end.

so the red-sox are committed to salty as their catcher in 2011?
do they really feel comfortable with this? any updates on his yips?
by I am Neftali Feliz on Jan 5, 2011 3:43 PM CST up reply actions
I never saw his yips look that terrible
so it’s hard to say. I doubt they feel too comfortable with it, since they’re bringing Varitek back. I’d bet that they split time about 50/50. Salty needs to prove he can produce with the bat.
Congrats on the gig

too bad i can’t get that station in Austin.
Haha
Honestly, I think the Rangers got pretty good value for Salty given what he became. Mendez and McGuiness may not be top prospects, but they are legitimate prospects. No doubt that they held on to all three for too long, though.
Jason quick question
which of the following players has the best chance of a breakout 2011
A. Jake Skole
B. Kellin Deglan
C. Christian Villanueva
D. Luis Sardinas
GO!
"If the Saints can reach the Superbowl, the Rangers can reach the World Series." - PhilKid

I'll go Villanueva since he's got the most advanced
skills of the group.
I am with Adam, I'm not sure Kellin Deglan exists so not him. I'll go with Skole.
This post was approved by Michael Olt.
Going with Skole too
Thinking he has the best tools of those four. Tools including intact shoulders, at that.

I can't wait to see what Skole does this year
He had some nice intriguing numbers last year.
By 2028, Mark Teixeira will be in the HOF.
"I am one of the biggest Texas Ranger fans out there but I'm also one of the smartest. Deal with it."
-The Outlaw
I really like the idea of Olt, Deglan, Skole, and Profar moving through the system largely together
Although obviously Olt would move the fastest (barring a hyperspace jump from Profar in ’11, which is not impossible).

They're a promising bunch
Nothing spectacular, outside of Profar of course, but there’s some good breakout potential there that I feel like too many people just completely gloss over.
By 2028, Mark Teixeira will be in the HOF.

I mean the bars in Lakewood, not the housing
Go to Lakewood Bar and Grill or Lakewood Tavern or Slip Inn. Those are some hipsterish places. I mean, they’re all colossal dumps, but some hipsters show up there.
I watched the Slip Inn transform from underground hip-hop paradise to velvet-rope toilet
i went there a few weeks ago. the dress-up to dress-down ratio was even, which is about what it was before that nutpunch owner (the guy who looks like Genie from Aladdin) bought the place
i think he’s sold it, because they’ve cut back on dress code and there’s more hoodrats than there used to be
all of which is good.

These days I don't respond at all.

i think that is the worst segment of facebook users...moms that use it as
a virtual baby status update….i know a lot of chicks that i went to high school with and it seems that is about the entire extent of why they use facebook. it’s like a pissing contest amongst women who think their kids are the best things ever…every day is a high school reunion…no thanks!!
Absolutely
Ab so fucking lutely. It’s a contest and the real loser is me because I have to see ugly babies in bullshit outfits doing shitty things that aren’t cute or interesting.
nothing worse than seeing ugly babies
the worst is when i’m out with my family and some other mom comments on how cute our kids are (and their kids/babies are ugly). We do have cute kids (look nothing like me), but my wife and I are not the type to ever comment on other people’s kids (especially ones we don’t know in a restaurant or a mall), and when people comment on ours first, we almost feel obligated to respond back with some half-assed compliment towards their snot-encrusted brat.

He’s been a 6 K/9, 3 BB/9 guy his whole career, and now he has injury concerns
If you’re into a #4/5, why not get Blanton?
Because he is cheaper
in both money and shouldn’t cost any prospects I would assume.
What do voluntary mean?
The dude abides.....
Blanton should not cost prospects, because he;s a salary dump
And Blanton guarantees you Blanton-like production (200 innings every season)
You have to hope for Francis to stay healthy just to ceiling out at Blanton-like production

Not if your name is Mario Williams.
If Brad Pitt is playing Beane who do you want playing you?
JD: Eddie Guardado.
His size means he should be a 3-4 DE.
I’m not entire sure how great Cushing will be as an OLB in it either…maybe if he gets to play the Will. I’m sure Demeco will be fine, but I don’t see the LB depth to make this work. It’s like they said “Hey, we’re not very good at getting D-Line talent, let’s switch to the 3-4” but forgot that they have 1.5 good linebackers. Also, Okoye doesn’t do anything at all for me as a NT…maybe in Wade’s system, but still.
It seems like their first pick is going to have to go to an OLB…perhaps Von Miller, but he’ll need some bulk for it. Which means no secondary pick with their first rounder.
If Brad Pitt is playing Beane who do you want playing you?
JD: Eddie Guardado.
I hardly follow the Texans at all...
But as I scroll down their roster, it sure seems like they’ve underperformed their talent level about as badly as any other team in the league. Am I just overrating guys like Cushing, Mario, Schaub, etc., or is the secondary just too big of an achilles heel?
Secondary was bad,
then lost it’s best corner in Dunta Robinson last offseason. They were epically bad this year. Their only good player is Roy Williams-lite Bernard Pollard.
The problem with the front 7 is that they’ve underperformed. Mario flashes skills (think a less quick/explosive but better against the run Peppers), but isn’t consistently great the way Ware is. There’s really no one else on that line who scares you, so it’s hard for him to excel.
The LB core is good when Demeco is in there. I kind of like Adibi, though he’s a limited player. Cushing took a significant step back this year, probably related to not being able to “Overtrain” (take steroids).
It’s the sort of defense where you could see it coming together quickly in one offseason with a big talent infusion and a good DC. They’ve got the DC, but I’m not sure about the talent infusion. Right now it seems to me that those LBs are going to get picked on by OL who aren’t being hindered enough by their 3 linemen…when the secondary isn’t getting shredded.
PS- Devin McCourty waves hello.
If Brad Pitt is playing Beane who do you want playing you?
JD: Eddie Guardado.
Seriously, Kareem fucking Jackson.
Remember to retire Fin's number, Mark.
"I've had people walk out on me before, but not when I was being so charming."
To be fair...
McCourty was something… nobody saw. No Patriots fans liked the pick, as most of his pre-draft praise was on his special teams work, and very little of it was actually on his play as a CB. It was " a reach" for the first round, proof BB was losing his marbles, etc.1

Cushing kind of sucked this year
probably it was being off the roids. Secondary was horrible. They let Robinson go, and just had no one who could cover.
I think the GM screwed the pooch when Robinson went, and they really didn’t replace him.

And see, I wouldn't know either.
Romo is great trade bait for a team that seems to be rebuilding, but then again, the titans need to be rebuilding too. Not that Fisher will let Reinfeldt attempt to rebuild in the draft though.
So, the 8th overall pick, our 3rd rounder, Young (to swap contracts), and Verner/McCourty (#2 CB)?
Too steep for me. Then again, I’m not in the Titans org, just a fan. Both teams looking to rebuild though, I doubt a match is there.

More like….retooling.
Besides, Garrett and Romo work very, very well together.

Romo and Dirk are absolutely unrivaled when it comes to a fanbase bearing ineffable, inexplicable, unexplainable and redundant hate towards a superstar.

Except Super Bowls.
That’s a tough one for me…because Ben does go all clutch once the playoffs start. But….until then he’s just average. Problem is, those few playoffs performances get used to make his average play during the season look better by the media and everyone.
Plus…he’s a complete douche. I know someone personally who can attest to just how much of an asshole and sexist jerk he is in real life.

I agree with the douche and all.
But Ben is a tremendous athlete and plays the game very well.
"I don't really like pitchers." - Nelson Cruz
I don't think you can understate
how Roethlisberger has played under a completely dismal offensive line. He may not ever do what Tom Brady did this season with Welker, Branch, Woodhead and two rookie TEs, but he really has put numbers up in Pittsburgh despite taking a ton of hits every game, though things seem to have improved this season for the Steelers.
Remember to retire Fin's number, Mark.
"I've had people walk out on me before, but not when I was being so charming."
Hmmm..
I don’t have much to back up my arguement, to be honest.
But I am just going by watching both of them play quite a bit. Romo is like a pitcher in San Diego. Facing NL teams and pitching in a cavern. Ben is a pitcher in the AL who plays in the California League stadium.
I don’t really agree with the stats because there are two different kinds of offenses in two different cities.

FTR, I thought the Texans should take Brick, then Williams.
And absolutely not a QB or Bush.
That said, I thought they shouldn’t take a QB because I thought Carr would figure it out. I was high on Leinart. . .
Sort of felt sorry
for Carr. It seemed like he got his ass handed to him on every play. Probably never figured it out ’cause the poor bastard was shell shocked.

Michael Young will make $100 million as a decade-plus Rangers FOF...
I looked up Young’s career salaries. Maybe someone has said this, but, I haven’t seen it lately. MY will make about $100 million when this $48 million is done paying out. By comparison, Face jokes or not, that really isn’t much, all things considered.
Beltre will be paid almost $165mil by age 37.
"Every noble work is at first impossible."
It's because Michael Young...
debuted at 23 years old as what was thought to be a light-hitting middle infield guy who happened to suddenly get 200 hits per year with some pop. And now as he begins to make the bulk of this money he does so as he doesn’t really deserve it based on his current production. Michael Young should be the happiest person in the world that he is getting $100 million out of the Texas Rangers.
Whereas Adrian Belte was a hotly sought after LA signing whom came up at age 19 and has been good/lucky enough to be good/young enough to be a rare guy who has signed two huge free agency contracts.

I understand...
I’m thrilled about Beltre. However, the “MY is grossly over-paid” thesis is true. Not because MY is under-paid or the best player ever, but, in a proper context, he’s not over-paid for his entire career as Ranger.
"Every noble work is at first impossible."
My Damn Type-O's!
Should read: He is NOT over-paid. Which many disagree with anyway. So, I’ll just flip myself off before others beat me to it.
