Where you at?

Although winter has a chokehold on us here in the northeast, the meetings regarding the winter are over. What huge haul did the Sox come away with you ask? They pulled in a guy named Boof, re-aquired the ghost of Eric Gange and lost the MVP of the 2007 WS, but not his hefty salary. So 3B is vacant (although we haven't heard from Pedroia yet), as is LF unless they are considering Hermida as the full time guy, and now there is physical proof here in Boston that some effed up parent named their child "Boof". What Theo has up his sleeve next could be anyones guess. I'd like to think LF and 3B are weighing more heavily on his mind than which burrito place to eat at this afternoon, but the alure of Chipolte can be a strong one indeed. I know from first hand experience of burrito withdrawal. Anyways, I still trust the guy, I mean we've come up with about 10 different trade scenarios here at the Cheese and we don't even have any trained stat monkeys working for us, so I can only imagine with all the primate power Theo has right now at his command there's gotta be trades coming out some monkey a$$es down on Yawkey way. The biggest questions is whether we have to endure the Sox bashing over Christmas dinner when your aunt spouts off something stupid about "The Boston Sox" or will we ripping the Jason Bay Maple Syrup off the shelves to give out to everyone. Jason Bay Maple Syrup doesn't exist yet you say? I'm on it.

And we're wheelin' and dealin' already

Not even 24 hours after Steinbrenner and all his flying monkeys take home the trophy, The Sox are already making deals. That's right, Jeremy motha-effin- Hermida is coming to town baby!?!?! Jeremy Hermida? That's funny, because that doesn't sound like Jason Bay or Matt Holliday, the two players that Red Sox Nation has more or less demanded the Sox get... or else. This is (hopefully) just a small piece of the puzzle, really just to add some roster depth like every one's favorite Italian Rocco did last year. Theo will spin it like so: The guy is 26, under valued in the Marlins system, he's affordable and he wasn't costing the team a ton. Still spinning, Hermida was a first round pick a few years ago and sluggers break out at 26 years old soooo you're saying there's a chance. Whatever. It's early. Things will happen. Stay tuned.
