Lou Merloni

Let's just -- with that day three a Little --

Lol I voted it is. Low -- and the difficulty with the video camera or tried out. Technical difficulties I thought it was by design at that it was like Christmas thing or something -- budget Boise State yeah look look. I don't know I don't still over and over Saudi -- to the real picture up there or so -- a local little -- So yeah that's not a bad yeah. You know what has an interest in to disguise. It -- disturbing night that's good I like that. Anybody anything could happen today and giving anybody GMs were sent me you know big huge possibly --

Yet -- it was pretty much close shop and they had the rule five draft today. So. I'm not much excitement going on another -- it confirmed that they had made offers that three different free -- wouldn't get specific technical laws but they you to assume that when you hear -- technical development Mark Teixeira was most likely another day. They expect -- this week. Kind of quietly up foundations laid you know where and end and really expect next week to really pick it up open resolve those problems.

I'd since so Mark Teixeira can pretty much do what he wants because the nationals have already come through with a 160 million dollars. And he's got five or six teams that are interested here. Do you think based on what. CC did with his deal that the -- is going to require a three year opt out.

All you don't -- just Brett change he would K in this case getting an obvious that you know. Reasons why you know these -- he's not sure you want you know I'll probably would be. In New York and anyone at least have some kind of out -- be able to play back home. They beat California three years that the -- not you know really like in -- yes some kind of an out. With Mark Teixeira if I'm not sure that occasionally an opportunity to new bat comedic your player what would you want debit your team what. You know he can be given boasting doubted it never works out good for the heat to the W dungy Ichiro wouldn't and and -- the guys -- AJ Burnett -- a couple of cheap jokes. I operator to pay big problem is -- they want to get out -- but. One general register your record really want to -- to -- a good job of -- a lot of people are expected mark shared -- with the Red Sox were also about.

if you have the leverage. You can get that type I'll. Or if you have that type liver so why wouldn't you take it if it's on the table it's got to become a trend in your high end player. And you have teams you know leverage each other while -- them the market might dramatically change it's only it's only benefit you period --

Derek only beneficial to the didn't and that's what and that's what the next Olympic aristocracy because he where it was -- this is just a matter some where everybody was that a long term deal Watson out. And bill are you are right you know that is still of the players come from what should be able McLaren said. You have these the leverage should be able to do -- but. You know he's serendipity is on the PP 78 years she that they shouldn't be an out you know obvious and it it is immediate situation -- some of the players all the golf carts were. I wrote that -- bad situation.

Street -- I don't know it's up they've reported it because of leverage of the hit by Biden and there. I just think that what happens is once you see one. Deals kind of sets a precedent the and I were talking about an agent. Who usually is pushing the envelope a vampire yet ride.

And in the big leagues elites in nobody impurities and -- district Goodyear's you know on the reds suck it is at this comes into play. Edit it take to get market share -- three good years Rocky Cherry on the play and these guys. Smart -- that not going to panic if he should not to that means that being BO company. That they'll whatever takes. The bishop beating usually get their guy in -- history shows is that these guys. They'll tight get a little more they were the off her J. D. Drew Julio Lugo -- probably worked out what when they want someone physical get --

What's your gut telling you the Yankees going blog and basically by and it's right in starting rotation is. Sabathia Burnett lol wherever.

Well we talked -- Having those two offered up their deal with Derrick Low patiently for years and a 66 and I AJ Burnett's 581. It's a situation where I didn't look at the current bowl or the first come first served a second but he a lot of people pick -- now what -- except burst well. Don't go with arm. Yet I mean let's face it there -- That their -- everything BCC sabathia is an acre of should be long and whoever follows did you -- could be one of those two guys HA. And Derrick Low -- a lot of people a lot of risk there they -- at eighty you know argued if you weren't very they don't know you're gonna get AJ and DJ.

We -- when he leaving. Oakland and try to get -- rotation would days lacking around Reynolds -- an immigrant yet. At least try to find it. Appears here would come on your populous who -- that your comments on the price is just blah. Yes period. -- Used all of -- well.

I -- heard about Varitek who has seen the story back here by. Two year proper maybe with with the -- do you think it's what we were talking about. The last couple days about. You know you gotta go one for ten why not go for you win twelve over twelve and after thirteen something like that netted -- Goodyear. The -- better year offensively that you and I believe he's going to have that -- Does not believe. And actually at that he's going to have that you get them back of that second year at 66 and have seven million dollars.

Well it looks Terry Boers shelters to dole annual press conference was an absolute joke but. Go to update got all the everybody out our late but other people out there all around -- market yeah immediately tackled the market he. He should you know it's not just the -- eat the it is a lot of teams you -- don't hear both are happy with their catcher situation and they're not going to come out. And talk about it publicly you know so basically what he's trying to do was create a mystery keep you know we've seen that before that you -- happy with this situation. There were any good jump on education you know off from two year deal with the reality is it's -- financially goats. Two years. You know people talk to is certainly say that again and -- definitely just thirteen fourteen region under hard to believe that he didn't accept arbitration took eleven. Matter I'll bet he won't he could get -- pictures somewhere so it so well on old. It's going to be tough decision he urged him being a human back it was because accepted.

What if you want -- I correct in that he's going to have a better year this year. In the and I don't know how the Red Sox are assessing this but -- if you wanna -- makes sense to go to once and -- You know you know ten million is what you are making last year we can give you the one year ten million. But you don't want what would like to do which would rather give you the two years of like fourteen like that so it's less average annual value. On the other hand -- talent and you. You know 34. Additional the millions. You know when you and you in particular risk with that but they're also betting that maybe they get him cheaper that second year.

tornadoes also another could be so impossibly senate in there too you know on the situation get to go to elementary -- a pretty good expected -- 255 which. You know it's 6060 which I don't think -- possible but. You know and hey maybe you know -- arrogant but some two out at ninety invigorate page but. The most part -- two years or seven are. It is pretty accurate but the problem is that but it got try to create another bit streaky about a year a shame that. It's not just keep to have all but keep not look happy that situation now.

If Varitek is so valuable as we seem to think he has. Calling you don't gaming club -- leadership and all these wonderful things which happen to agree with. Why teams lining up to get a piece of that. Why -- we finally I used three teams instead realize teams standing up different logos saying we want this guy a leader charge an overnight.

Right what if he said he -- down. On the division -- down to leak you know meet in try to find expect. -- they're able Baltimore could be a bit but we just get the couple months away in the net Gregg -- to look at that Michael Barrett range. -- based not looking because teams just aren't looking in the kings aren't looking. We looked -- very ticket a catcher but. One year four million because you might want a cheap ticket or degree education so. The market it is just the just go tricky -- about how I believe is.

Little bit but you know the usually answer that question in that. They the few teams that that that. Can afford him right nor for that type of salary and can a lot collective right. You know except the guy but I -- to twenty. They're a lot of teams out there that can't afford another 220. Million bucks off so -- what went through two -- has with -- it is with this team to be a much -- lost it would be game --

Well I would take some time regardless. You know -- to -- genial you know that they should step as. I'm only going to and the interest that.

Because you know I've been here -- for a couple of days now and by the way I I am firmly in the camp that believes the -- such -- sign this guy for two years of -- back I don't care already hits. I do believe is he what he brings to the that -- an -- To the team is important but but do what period three Varitek. We're it. It's humid -- bringing in you know patty berg and -- and in those -- guy with the when the Braves they had for year -- utterance into it's it just seems like they had a different guy none of that was couple years ago. But it assume like every year they're bringing in new catcher. And there weren't too concerned with him learning the system -- this with -- member of -- MPs -- all the offensive coordinator -- Bledsoe as the you know as the -- in the new system the offensive coordinator. Suddenly. Suddenly it's as though losing Varitek is like losing an offensive coordinator what.

Well well. And that he said he talked vocal or birds are the most actually mentioned article back -- that those teach them. Exactly so now sitting at tech spec series has developed some things nobody can he win two World Series so. Jewish golf now people don't realize how important is really used to never -- addition at bat.

And -- continues. Bring about. What's the -- it. -- So the way you do it is and it's easy to sell it it's easy for Varitek to sell -- to a self due to -- to the public whatever I want to stay here. They give me two years it's more dollars that I was going to get -- with the salary arbitration for a 114. You know whatever some incentives in there whatever. I want to be here it's a two year deal you can sell himself and that the Red Sox it makes more sense for the reds especially. If you're betting that he's going to improve his offensive numbers is that we all agree. That behind the plate defensively more importantly game planning those pitchers I think he's going to be five for the next two years the question is any bad. -- you more than attitude toward either a little bit more wow that's a lesson from the -- that's quite.

But I think regardless of what -- the -- what he's trying to do you try to get the best two year deal period other Red Sox and any. It started twelve of the thirteen fourteen million. -- he's going to try to justify -- I got guaranteed fourteen million that would -- general lebed did say yesterday that. You know accepting salary arbitration was never an option and never considered which is just yep typical -- desperate. The three diligent one of those we'll beat them.

I -- ask us any anybody from a baseball that we would know embarrass themselves out there and Vegas but he knows. Just really embarrassing.

No not really dark or bright -- stretch that individual I have. He's not everybody everybody was as well in the control achieved so are those a lot of I look at it goes in the morning that they can -- put down. Of the net it was it was got a lot of walk a lot of people --

Taylor that's a rough town football league baseball and the winner readings would -- but I was figuring this out that is just not that now. That you go and get a lot of business done you know if you're actually based a lot of padded expense accounts next week. Often those lonely and ranchers they have right. I.

Automobile a lot of these -- are what are what are seriously to take -- I haven't played like they get to know particularly big done so.

Let me give you that the Knicks the -- videos that you do red and green Milan looks Roloson. Red green. And and I had to put to myself I'll be a terrific stop it stop throwing it. Looked like the blown out there with WB it's.
