Any truth to the rumor that "Marco Scutaro" is Italian for "Career Year Utility Journeyman"?

Whatever, if we can land Felix Hernandez or Roy Halliday, I think the Sox could win a championship with David Ortiz playing shortstop.

Hey Everyone, we are about to run the last alter job that we need to on our database servers. This will effect userpics / scrapbook / vgift images for the next few hours. Have no fear, your images aren't lost, there is just a really intensive process running on the servers which store the information for mogilefs. Thank you for your understanding and all the LJ love...

Hey LJers,

I just wanted to let you all know that we are going to be performing some mogilefs maintenance over the next few days. We will be upgrading our current version to latest stable as well as changing some db config information to better handle the amount of files we are currently hosting. This shouldn't cause a big impact on site stability, but you may see some minor delays with userpic / scrapbook images appearing or other requests associated with our mogilefs. We would love to not have that happen, but unfortunately with some of the steps we need to take we have to cause a delay with images. I figured this was a better solution than taking down all of LiveJournal because well lets face it, we all need our daily LJ fix ;)

Thanks,

Jesus Christ, it's been a crazy last couple of weeks.
The following players have been linked to the Red Sox:
- Rich Harden
- Roy Halladay
- Justin Duchscherer
- Hanley Ramirez
- Adam Everett
- Marco Scutaro
- Matt Holliday
- John Lackey
- Aroldis Chapman
- Moving Pedroia to 2B for a trade for Brandon Phillips or Dan Uggla
Not to mention the talks of trading Lowell and Buchholz, a possible extension for Beckett or Okajima, bringing back Jason Bay and Billy Wagner, etc.

What sounds good? What doesn't sound good?

Frankly, if we can get something slightly lower than the Buchholz/Kelly/PTBNL deal that the BJ's are looking for to give up Halladay, I say do it. Do not like John Lackey. Would rather some other team overpay him. Prefer Bay to Holliday. Love the Rich Harden signing if the price is right. Do not like the Duchscherer possibility.

No way in hell Hanley comes back.

Your thoughts?
