Look at Ken Rosenthal spot from foxwoods dot com and Mike Napoli sources say he's got a probable with a -- A problem that. That led the barriers to back off their pursuit of -- as reported by if you do get a penalty network radio for biased source also. They have concerns. It's pretty easy protect free wheel back would tonight be able. Loaded and buck and you know I think we all were were pretty high in the signing -- -- now when it happened but now that we -- -- might have Bo Jackson's hit shall we be concerned to the Red Sox walk away. What we should be concerned because he's never been in every day player to the degree with talking fives and some at bats this season in his entire career. The Red Sox to bring him minutes with the expectation. That he'll be a 14045. Game guy mostly at first base. So if he's got a bad hip and they're out there -- and ratchet up his playing time anyway. So if he's got a bad at the other three of the concern -- might look for Mike Napoli sort to a little Obama picked up David Ross took up the versatility with the catch and play first now pretty much as the first baseman. Here's the question of Red Sox have asked themselves that is concerned short term or is it long term if it's long term. It just renegotiate its -- language because you're afraid admitted at third you might be an issue if it short term. You got serious issues here I mean is he's expected to play first base like democracy and a 145. Games -- luckily for them. There's still a couple of options which brings us. To our Comcast business. -- sports at the speed of business degree at child off at first base who has yet to hit it up for Scotland and Nick Swisher not signed yet although. We've been for the full court press low road general has not signed you know rhythm GM is trying to put a timetable on that the problem -- the book is. I thought indefinite that they do when you give the traffic you look at the other two. You gotta give up the draft this qualifying opposite. That -- Crennel wouldn't think that it's. Some prospects as possible. This to me would fly in the face of with the grand scheme is which is to put represented a team that it was 2013. In build from within the team doesn't with team beyond which would mean this would not be the way to go if it's that. With that but overall picture we know that this team weight loss and I wonder do you think. Joel Hanrahan is a guy they should be going after and if so how hard. Well I mean if you look at his numbers with the Pirates in the nationals over the years that McCluster was good when you for -- -- -- -- the big guy. Now Bobby Jenks that lets hope not what we did but would talk in the Broxton. Brando heady company in the big guys and you know. He can pitch they need to rebuild their bullpen and they've got what parts. I don't know we talked about glee season on your off the year but in little I don't know if you're still crazy about me you -- in the past I want to thank for that. Yes I still believe in the kid I just think the Red -- rushing to the minor -- period was -- and I agree with that in the democratic an opportunity created based -- -- -- -- -- -- -- two years ago trying to BA Rodman you know that he worked out with the right and so -- published studies that swing like -- -- -- -- -- hundred pounds right that -- Wright has. So. It it get Bogart's is really going to beat your guy moving forward and drew was just keep in the seat warm. We -- the goalie sees it it I think it deep did get -- and the first from beginning to end up in April he's the shortstop. I Q okay because I do think -- will be shorts up he's gonna take up more years but. There's different ways to win in this league that you Orioles showed that last year one way it is to have that opens that you at a guy like and it ran. -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- if that's the case now they got they got off the starting pitching theme of that -- -- broad -- -- Francisco every during the -- as well enough ago that. It was thought to this Davis have been Franklin Morales. -- for -- but I gonna give it away for Iglesias I wonder obviously it is in the cities is is destined to be traded if only because. Fair or not they've been -- the dwindling down bad apples in the club boats and and as that is was not a good Kemper last season. Whatever people make it -- Bobby Valentine and there's a lot to be said about that. I thought that it's of his disrespecting -- sobriety -- that if -- rewarded some nut job and if -- really. Fourth thought that you know it really try to set up to clean up this club bouncer to see what they are this is -- he's -- nights and Nash and -- -- Oilers I think he he. Compete level right now moment of clarity is a nut job that -- good night. I agree but the thing is though is that he's he still appeared that that. You know it and I think that. You know we look at a club -- because it was the 2011 you still had Terry Francona leading the club out there walked all over from it might have been here one but you bring all that it. Unstable club policy had last year Bobby Valentine running in -- Davis becomes. Kind of he loses his mind a little bit -- -- to go off the rails a little bit of citizens such a good pitcher that he wasn't was it. And that job I nut job threat I mean he did look like they did that -- -- make it sound like yeah that's that he said that I would I never know.
