David Ortiz says he is at 90%.  Is that accurate or simply a built-in excuse for a slow start to spring training and/or the regular season?  Wouldn’t it be refreshing to have Ortiz and management define his offensive production numbers prior to the season, based on career averages, and then PAY David based on the percentage he attains throughout the season:  if he reaches 90% of his career average he earns and will be paid 90% of his stated “salary”, if 120% he would get paid 20% over, etc.  Just dreaming…

Not bad for a 43-year-old guy.  Let’s just hope he doesn’t have to pee in a cup any time soon.

That would be ideal Sbruce, but unfortunately that’s not the way unions work.  Ortiz got his big contract and he knows it’s his last.  And now with the new testing procedures, I wouldn’t expect much from Big Juicer.

Sounds like a lot of slot guys, and a lot of cuts of decent players. When Gronk and Hernandez are back, and with Vereen or Washington, it will be a bit crowded in the middle.

Dobson, on the X.
14 slot receivers… Common is BB, trying to convince the world, a quality Slot, is easy to find. Ok we get it slot receivers are say to find, you win Bill.
Now, lets move on, we still need a veteran receiver that can challenge outside the hash marks. With Ocho still flaming out in the rear view mirror, is BB now wary of signing that troubled vet…As of this morning there are several that have been released.
The Pats player personnel dept. reminds me of an old episode of M*A*S*H.
Common u see it to,
There are still glaring holes in the defense. Abraham is actually making me salivate…
But that’s merely because he’s available, and the superior talent has been snatched up.
With roughly 4.4 million available under the cap…..no first round pick saves so much money….lol..
Both Abraham and Freeny, could find themselves employed in Foxborro next season,
But that’s just my own fantasy running away. Abraham is likely, as reported on other pages.. 2 years 7 million, mostly bonus money I’m sure,,

Ummmmm. It’s been 5 minutes, why isn’t your mouth on me?

belichick would lose control of the players and media all at once…..it would not be about the team, it would be about the gay player

enough already with this stuff! What is the big deal with this “outing” I can;t stand when they say how brave Collins is for his admission when we’re in the midst of all the REAL bravery that was shown in Boston in regards to the marathon bombings, both responders and the victims who are truly showing or showed courage. I’m not a homo-phobe it’s just in today’s world what’s the big deal? Krafty Bob should be more concerned about his coach and his questionable drafting philosophy.

ya you’re right…the gau gay is so brave, and our responders are there all the time …….he did this for attention 2% of the people are gay, and we have to be tolerant of them and listen to them? go away, and live your lives gays, no one cares

I’m gonna try to be as sensitive about this as I can, but i’m friggin sick of hearing about this already!!! Seriously, so what if this guy has sex with dudes! Someones sexuality shouldnt even be a topic in this day an age, but instead, every major media outlet has done a story on this guy. I dont care if the guy like to do animals, as long as he doesnt harm children, and can play the game, which he cant! I can see it already, no team will sign him, and the uproar will start full throttle!! This guy probably wouldnt have been signed anyway, but now that he came out, people will try to twist things around and claim discrimination!!

It would have been funny if he mistook the question and thought they said Jamie Collins…LOL
