Arbitration On The Horizon? Probably Not!
The Red Sox offered Wily Mo Pena, whose defensive ability strikes fear into the hearts of most Red Sox fans, $1.7 million dollars. Pena is seeking $2.2 million. And Brendan Donnelly is seeking $1.65 million. The club offered him $1.15 million. Arbitration cases will be heard by the league in February if the sides do not settle. But as written in the Herald today....
"The Sox and their two arbitration-eligible players, outfielder Wily Mo Pena and reliever Brendan Donnelly, exchanged figures yesterday and the gap between what salaries are being offered and what are being sought does not appear to be insurmountable in continued negotiations. These differences are relatively minor."
Peter here, and that's great news. WMP might have an inflated opinion of himself, but he'll be a force as a 4th outfielder, and we ALL hope his fielding has improved. IT HAS TO!!! I'll be back later if I can. I have family issues to deal with, but this blog is important to me, and allows me to escape, if only for a few minutes. And I thank you for reading me, and I thank you for your comments. ALL of you!

Willy Mo is batting 2 for 38 in the winter league. Thats not good.

Let me know. You seem like you do read other Sox blogs, and the more Red Sox fans, the better!
WMP the fourth outfielder? Who is the third?
Oh, yeah. Aren't the Sox trying to some enigma named Drew or something? :)
I was never for the Drew signing. If history is any indicator, he'll perform poorly and then some guy named Tom will take his job and lead the Sox to the World Series.
Drew who?? Just kiddn'!!! And who knows what evil Scott Boras(s) will...will.....whatever...but thanks! I'm always interested in your thoughts, Lloyd...thank you! PN

Peter, yes Wily Mo resembles Charlie Brown in the OF some times, but the man can flat out mash. If he can adjust to the breaking ball, he'll be fine. Stick him in CF or LF at times, DH him everynow and then, and get him some at bats. He is Papi Jr, and is a very young man.
In a year when someone the caliber of Ted Lilly can pull down $50 mm plus - I almost find myself feeling sorry for Pena.... crazy I know.
Hi Peter,
I agree with you about the quality of "Surviving Grady" blog. They have such an "eclectic" view of the NE sports scene. There sense of humor is right up my alley. The comments section every day is like an IM screen the way people communicte with each other there. Kind of like a local coffee shop for some. I rarely post ther though.
FS (or C and S), the number fluctuates between one and two. FB, I love SG. Hi MR and Ted. You all make great points. I do not trust WMP to play right.....he is better suited to play CF, or the cozy comfines of left
Confines, cozy, as in our left field..Manny's territory, wall and all!!!
WMP, like Windows XP=Crash:
I was unnerved watching his outfield play;
& the 3rd Article on my blog is up for a load of laughs.
I will check it out later this morn, Michael.
