This time it's for homo mag Out.Lambert is one of the annual Out 100, the best, brightest, and biggest in the gay world as chosen by the very queer magazine. While Lambert is very open about his love for the men, it's still thrilling for interviewers to hear him talk, awkwardly, about having sex with women. Check out this quote about the time he tried to go down on a woman: "It was a little gross because I don't think she was as clean as she could've been. It wasn't the act of it that really turned me off. I don't really remember. I was 18 and I was drunk. Or maybe I was 17... The point of the matter is that I would not rule it out. The idea is intriguing. We love that you're trying to blur the lines of sexuality, Adam, but you're not especially convincing when you say "Ew gross, it smells like fish!" in one sentence and then, "I'd still hit it," in the next. And you're doing this wearing eyeliner and a bowtie in a magazine that is about as straight as a piece of spaghetti in boiling water. Why not just be happy being a man-loving homo? There's no shame in that. Especially for Out readers who would much rather hear about what Kris Allen looks like in his boxers than about your lady lust. Advertisement Speaking of women, it seems like Out may be ending their own inappropriate love affair with women. After having two straight women on the cover for their Out 100 issue in 2006 and 2008, last year they were down to only one (Katy Perry). We have another straight lady on this year's cover, Cyndi Lauper, as well as Wanda Sykes, a real live lesbian! It's great that the two women on the cover this year aren't just some pop tarts who want to sell more records to the gays, but a long-time gay activist and one who had the strength to come out on the national stage after the Prop 8 nightmare in California. In fact, the list seems gloriously devoid of straight girls and full of actual homosexuals. Other honorees include: director Rob Marshall, "don't ask, don't tell" activist Dan Choi, actor Neil Patrick Harris, Spanish director Pedro Almodovar, recently out Kelly McGillis, Rep. Barney Frank, the transitioning Chaz Bono, and Broadway's Arthur Laurents. Sponsored Reply51 repliesLeave a reply

Bravo et merci.
This is a great utility plugin. It saved me lots of time and worked perfectly as described.
Thanks Slava!
Used for testing BuddyPress: very useful. Thanks.
It works perfectly! Thank you!
Fantastic plugin! Thanks!
Just wondering - did you create avatars for each dummy user and upload them to gravatar.com ?
The plugin worked well until I wanted to delete the dummy users. I pushed the delete the dummy content button, and it deleted everything from the wp_users and wp_usermeta tables, not only the dummy content. I ended up with a site with 0 admin users, and got completely locked out of the admin area. I had to go to the database in the backend and restore the wp_users and wp_usermeta tables from my previous backup.
The member that gave 1 star - TF28 - is being really unfair to this plugin.
Ok it's not immediately obvious where you run the import from. But within a 20 second search I found it under the WordPress Tools menu on WP Version 3.8. Docs may need updating.
Useful enough. What do you want more? It gives what it promises.
This plugin is great for filling in a BuddyPress site when you need fake users and data to test plugins and themes when developing.

In that time, I've smoked cigars with Michael Jordan, Mike Ditka and Red Auerbach, I've been thrown on a table by NHL all-time bad boy Dave "Tiger'' Williams, I've covered the Super Bowl, NBA Finals and Stanley Cup Finals, I've had former Bears lineman Stan Thomas act like he was going to squeeze my head like a zit, I've interviewed Roger Clemens, Hank Aaron and Donald Trump, I've been cursed at by Mike Keenan, I've watched Denis Savard go into the Hockey Hall of Fame, I've been yelled at by Bill Wirtz, I talked sports with Ben Affleck at the World Series of Poker, and I cry almost every time I see Jim Craig skate up the ice looking for his dad in the stands as the 1980 U.S. Olympic hockey team wrote the greatest sports story ever. Ever.
Got enough on me? Good. Now read the other stuff.

Kill Your Productivity: Five Awesome Videos From Comic-Con Worth Watching On The Clock
Yes, there is more to Comic-Con that just cosplay.
Photo by Liz Ohanesian.
Here's the thing about San Diego Comic-Con: if you don't make it in to the presentations, it's going to be a long time before you get to see the cool stuff that gets shown. Sure, some things make it out of Hall H and in to the real world - remember the big Avengers announcement from a few years back? - but for the most part those of us on the outside looking in have to settle for reading about how cool things are instead of seeing them for ourselves.
Some of us are still waiting to see the Godzilla teaser from last year. Sigh.
Of course, those gatekeepers of information do throw us bones now and then. What follows is a collection of trailers and other assorted fun from last weekend. If you like anything even remotely nerdy, there's a good chance there's something here for you.

I'm not sure how to feel about another Riddick movie just yet, but this new trailer goes a long way to making me cautiously optimistic that it might not be a bad idea. While it lacks the scale of Chronicles of Riddick, it does look like they're amping up the violence. Weird to see Vin in a movie that doesn't involve car chases. Fingers crossed for some fun one-liners.The Hunger Games: Catching Fire - Official Trailer #2

The first Hunger Games movie got a lot of things right. The casting was excellent, it was well shot, and the world they built on screen was really interesting. It was a fun film in spite of the slightly awful script. As the series takes an even more serious turn in the second installment, it'll be interesting to see if the writing is any better this time around. Here's hoping the odds are in our favor.
Sherlock fans have it rough. While most shows only go away for a few months at a time, they've been waiting years for the return of the great detective and Doctor Watson. The fact that the last series ended on an insane cliffhanger just makes it all the worse. While it's nice to see Cumberbatch playing around with his image, his trolling here is adorably annoying.Loki Steals The Stage
It's not every day a god comes down from the heavens to threaten mere mortals, but Comic-Con is a special place. Those who made it in to Hall H to see the Marvel presentation were treated to a special appearance by the trickster god himself, who seems to be in good spirits for a guy who recently got beat up by his big brother Thor. His observations on the absurdity of Comic-Con are pretty fun too.The Greatest Game Of Thrones Montage Ever (SPOILERS!)
If there's one thing everyone knows about Game of Thrones it's that there's a lot of death. Tons of it. And nothing drives that fact home more than this supercut of the dead and the deaths from the first three seasons of the show. It starts off silly, but brings things home nicely with a look at just how much the Starks have suffered. The North Remembers, indeed.

Read an Excerpt
By JAMES DICKS
The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc.Copyright © 2012The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc.

In theory, foreign exchange (forex) trading dates back to ancient times when traders first began exchanging coins from different countries and groups. In 1944, the postwar forex system was established as a result of a multination conference held at Bretton Woods, New Hampshire, and remained intact until the early 1970s.
At this conference, representatives from 45 nations met to discuss the forex system. The conference resulted in the formation of the International Monetary Fund. It also produced an agreement that fixed currencies in an exchange rate system that tolerated 1 percent currency fluctuations to gold values, or to the dollar, that was previously established as the gold standard. The system of connecting the currency's value to gold or the U.S. dollar was called pegging.
In 1971, the Bretton Woods Accord was first tested because of dramatic, uncontrollable currency rate fluctuations. This started a chain reaction, and by 1973, the gold standard was abandoned by President Richard M. Nixon. The fixed-rate system collapsed under heavy market pressures, and currencies were finally allowed to float freely. Thereafter, the forex quickly established itself as the financial market—the world's largest financial market.
Forex trading is not bound to any one trading floor and is not a market in the traditional sense because there is no central exchange. Instead the entire market is run electronically among a network of banks, continuously over a 24- hour period. This market is considered an over-the-counter market, providing off-exchange spot foreign currency transactions.
Banks have a natural flow of forex business from their customers, who buy and sell currency according to individual needs. The banks must manage their currency deposits in the changing light of their customers' transactions.
Investment managers deal globally and must take positions in the currencies, as well as in more traditional instruments such as bonds and equities. For example, if a fund is invested in U.S. bonds, the manager must decide if the fund should be invested in U.S. dollars or a different currency. Again, it is a question of hedging, another layer of risk to manage.
According to the Bank for International Settlements, as of April 2010, the average daily turnover in global forex markets is estimated at $3.98 trillion, a growth of approximately 20 percent over the $3.21 trillion daily volume as of April 2007. Some firms specializing on the forex market have put the average daily turnover in excess of $4 trillion.
The $3.98 trillion breakdown is as follows:
$1.490 trillion in spot transactions
$475 billion in outright forwards
$1.765 trillion in forex swaps
$43 billion currency swaps
$207 billion in options and other products
In addition to the above-listed growth, retail transactions on the forex will continue to grow. The United States will remain comparatively small in the overall growth of forex transactions, with overseas, China, and surrounding areas being the driving force behind the huge growth.
With all the new regulatory oversight of the forex industry, I have noticed that the forex brokers are starting to look at different business models. They will continue to offer retail off-exchange forex, but the forex brokers in the United States are going to be looking into offering swaps, forwards, and other regulated investment vehicles.
The word I am hearing on the street is that if the forex brokers are going to be so highly regulated in the United States, then they might as well get in all the way. What I mean by this is that the forex brokers are going to be offering commodities and equities in the near future.
In addition to commodities and equities, you are going to see forex options become much more mainstream for the average retail forex customer. I already know of two brokers that have not traditionally carried a forex options product but will be offering such products by the time this book has been printed.
While the big equities brokers are out there struggling to get new customers, the forex brokers are not having that problem since, by continuing to add new trading services that include equities and commodities, they are the ones getting all the leads. As a result of the changes in forex services, the big equities brokers will start looking at the big forex brokers as targets for acquisitions, thus increasing the customer acquisitions of the big equity brokers. So look for industrywide consolidation coming soon.
These days, and particularly in the United States, there is a huge investment-oriented culture. The list of financial investing instruments freely available to the retail individuals is expanding day by day. We can choose among forex currency trading, options, futures, stocks, bonds, real estate, franchises, and other business ventures that contribute to reinforce the economy of the country while securing good profits and making the markets move.
This variety and freedom has allowed some unscrupulous individuals and companies to simulate legal investment schemes and abuse the investors through the promotion of unrealistic returns and well-elaborated but deceitful programs, only seeking to make money for themselves.
Anyone can be the prey of these fraudsters, and especially those of you who think you will never fall for such a scheme. Financial swindlers are quite clever and know very well how to manipulate and target all kinds of potential investors, from the wealthiest ones down to precisely those who might be struggling with financial difficulties or have little or no capital.
The less wealthy will be more sensitive to the offers that promise large returns overnight. One of the most employed sales pitches is that only the "guru" is able to show you how to become rich and teach you the precise and "proven" investment strategies that all the wealthy people or the "big boys in-the-know" usually employ.
Don't get me wrong; I personally follow many so-called gurus, though I always take everything they say with a grain of salt; but you cannot go around with blinders on and be so negative that you can't see the forest for the trees. I have gotten little golden nuggets from many people out there who may not be the best traders or have the best intentions, but they certainly gave me some great ideas that I was able to research and develop into some really good trading strategies.
The victims of investment scams come from very diverse backgrounds. Among them, we can find successful professionals and political figures, as well as thousands of hardworking people. However, all of them share two important characteristics: unlimited greed and a desperate need to believe whatever feeds or promises to feed that greed.
Many of these swindlers and scammers are very successful, and the total amount of stolen funds has been estimated at billions of dollars a year. They will convince you of their legality and use every ingenious trick they can think of to assure you that they are the real thing so that they can gain your trust and cooperation. They will offer you such an exclusive and time-limited opportunity to make lots of money easily and quickly, moving you around and pushing your "greed and need" buttons so cleverly that you will believe what they say if you are not prepared and do not know about their usual modus operandi.
If you find yourself on the spot in a pressure situation, the best advice is to take a step back and go out and do some homework. You can rest assured that in most cases, or at least in the legitimate cases, you will be able to still take advantage of any special deals, and there will be some to hold on to and some to stay away from.
The reason it is so difficult to identify financial scammers is that they do not exhibit a definite profile. Therefore, you will need to get rid of any stereotype you might have about the looks or attitudes of a potential fraudster as a first step in protecting yourself. It could be anyone around you, previously known or unknown. The only common trait among all of them is that they possess a tremendous and compelling power to convince other people to believe in them.
Some of these fraudsters may not have always been so. There are instances where highly trusted and esteemed individuals in the accounting or legal business, financial brokers, and even medical doctors have succumbed to temptation and renounced their ethics to make quick money through an investment scam, and, of course, to benefit from their formerly accepted and transparent social position.
In other instances, some of the legitimate investment programs failed because of bad management or unpredictable events, and the directors ended up mishandling or losing their investors' funds. Whether planned or not, the results of an investment scam are the same; you, as the client, will lose your hard-earned money.
Fraudsters will try to imitate the marketing pitch of perfectly legal investment companies. Therefore, the method they might use to contact their potential victims is not always an indication of a scam. Getting in touch with customers directly by phone and mailing lists or indirectly through advertising and the Internet are some of the methods employed by many legitimate businesses to identify and select people who may be potential investors and might be interested in their financial products and services. Investigate carefully and independently their approach and understand how these swindlers might benefit from either of the above marketing schemes.
Direct Personal Contact through Telephone and Mailing Lists
Swindlers will usually contact hundreds of potential investors, either by telephone or by mail, after getting specifically targeted mailing lists from other sources, such as subscriptions to investment-related publications and financial forums. The swindlers will say enough to catch your interest so you will write or call for more information, but little enough so they can remain under the radar of the authorities.
Indirect Contact through Advertising and the Internet
Regulatory agencies usually monitor all advertising in major publications. However, this does not stop swindlers from using this type of media to set up their bait-and-switch system, offering amazingly attractive profits aiming to catch investors unaware in a short-term move. Some others will choose smaller publications where there is less risk of being caught by a regulator.
One aspect of this is the forex broker demo bait and switch, which I describe in more detail in Chapter 16.
As a result of its increased expansion and potential, the Internet has attracted those fraudsters too, and they use it to implement the same old scams, formerly conducted through normal mail or phone, but now through e-mail, subscriptions lists, and flashy Web sites that are advertised in strategic places such as social media, forums, and investment-related sites.
Using Your Own Professional, Social, or Even Familiar Circles
One of the easiest and most effectively used methods is the referral scheme, where the first investors receive large profits on time and so will be eager to recommend the forex program to their family members, friends, and colleagues. Most often those profits are paid from the investors' own funds (as there is no forex trading backing up the investment) or from the investments of other victims.
The power of referral from one investor to another is so strong that the fraudsters will not need to find any new victims. The investors will come to them, and what is even better, they will already be convinced of the authenticity, profitability, and trustworthiness of the fake forex investment program. This method is really more related to pyramid schemes. Most of us are familiar with the biggest of them all, the one that originated in New York in the 1990s (or possibly earlier). Ultimately, the man behind that one ended up in prison for the rest of his life. Bernie Madoff prided himself on his social ties and built his business on referrals. In the end, the business came crashing down, and everyone lost money.
I am not saying don't invest; you really don't have a choice. Well, I guess you have two choices: sit on the sidelines and let inflation wipe out any real value of your savings; or get off the sidelines, use good money management and diversification, and take the appropriate risk to reward. You will lose money, and you will make money, but obviously your goal is to make more than you lose. To do that, you will have to take some calculated risks. Most of the time, referrals are a good way to find investment opportunities so long as you do some due diligence.
The "Facade": Looking Good Enough to Build a Reputation
Some fraudsters will try to look really professional and reputable by renting luxurious offices in the high-class financial areas of the city. Some will go so far as to have enough personnel to give the impression of being an important and busy company. They will even require you to ask for an appointment and keep you waiting for a while, building up your interest with an apparent nonchalance in getting your account under their belt.
Those scammers might also participate in several public associations and give the image of the perfect citizen; meanwhile the only purpose for all the scenery is to get a solid grasp on your account.
Buttons They Push and Weaknesses They Exploit
As stated earlier, greed is the main element that will attract plenty of potential victims to the fraudster's evil plan. Fraudsters can promise you anything as big as it can be, but in the end they do not have the intention to fulfill those promises. All they want is your hard-earned money, and they want it as soon as possible.
Here is a list of the key elements that are signs of a potential investment scam:
Creating expectations for huge profits. This really is not so difficult. Remember, past performance is not an indication of future performance. Contemplate your potential investment with the dollars that you are willing to lose and that you can afford to lose. You never know what will happen in the markets, especially the forex market. The forex market can be drastically affected by any major news event from around the globe.
Some money management firms will offer profits big enough so they can catch your interest, but not so excessive that you might become suspicious. These unscrupulous people may suggest that the investment has a greater potential and will gauge your reactions to follow on with the scamming scheme. Bear in mind that if the returns on a given investment seem too good to be true, you might be the prey of one of these swindlers.
Omitting the mention of the risks involved. The last thing a scammer wants you to think about is that you might eventually lose your money. The emphasis will always be set on "low risk" and "guaranteed" returns so that you might believe there is no risk at all. If you insist and ask about the potential risks, fraudsters could eventually admit there are some but assure you that they are very small and that the profits will be much higher. In general, fraudsters will try to change the subject quickly or even show impatience and try to turn you down so you won't insist on the issue.
Creating a sense of urgency and exclusivity. Limited offers, limited time—fraudsters are always in a rush and will urge you to invest "right now" because you might miss the opportunity. You may be told about a very special offer, only for the select few. The real reason behind this is that the fraudsters do not want you to think about their offers in depth, as you might become suspicious and decide to check further or turn the offer down. They are also in a rush because they might already be planning to leave the place very soon.
Building trust. Scammers will center their efforts on conveying total confidence about the returns of the investment they want you to get in, the solidity of the proposal, and the almost no-risk situation so that you trust them enough to lend them your funds easily and quickly. The message they intend to pass is that the opportunity they are offering you is practically a favor; they might even suggest that if you are not interested, they will bring the offer to someone else, trying to appear detached from the fact that it is your money they want to pocket. Of course, this attitude is aimed at getting the potential investor to react by expressing his or her interest, and voilá—the mystification is almost done! Swindlers are real masters at manipulating and controlling the conversation, and so there is little chance for the investor to ask them embarrassing questions.
Another typical example is how they can build confidence by word of mouth of initial investors who are paid large profits and become inadvertently "recruited" to spread the word to their friends or relatives. This is mostly seen in the high-yield investment program–type schemes. After a period during which consistent profits are paid out on time (from the new deposits of the most recent victims), older investors become bold and start investing larger sums of money, and new investors are attracted to the scheme because of the excellent reputation the swindler has built by recycling new payments into fake profits. In the end, after pocketing enough of the monies, the swindler will leave the scene.

Now my question, can i analyse the application which functions are triggerable (crazy word)?
in this example i can trigger: savefile(), too, but i had to ask the developer to get this information.

Self signed certificates for SSL and self generated hosts keys for SSH are popular zero cost, simple alternatives to public key infrastructure (PKI). They provide security against man in the middle attacks, as long as the the client connecting to those services knows the certificates or host keys a priori. A simple solution used in practice is to trust the certificate or the host key when the client connects to a server for the first time. This approach is susceptible to man in the middle attacks, a fact exploited by adversaries in a variety of attacks against unsuspecting users. We develop a simple and scalable solution named DoubleCheck to protect against such attacks. Our solution is achieved by retrieving the certificate from a remote host using multiple alternate paths. Our scheme does not require any new infrastructure; we make use of the Tor anonymity system to reach the destination using multiple independent paths. Hence our solution is easy to deploy in practice. Our solution does not introduce any privacy concerns. We have implemented DoubleCheck as SSH and Firefox extensions, demonstrating its practicality. Our experimental evaluation shows that the impact of DoubleCheck on performance is minimal, since the Tor network is used only for retrieving the certificate for the first time, while the data transfer and subsequent connection establishment follow normal routing rules. Our scheme is an effective way of mitigating the impact of man in the middle attacks without requiring new infrastructure and at low overhead.

text: 000 FXUS63 KGRR 211753 AFDGRR Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Grand Rapids MI 153 PM EDT THU JUL 21 2016 LATEST UPDATE... Aviation .SYNOPSIS... Issued at 301 AM EDT Thu Jul 21 2016 A high pressure system centered over the Central Appalachians will continue to generate a southwest flow here in Michigan into Friday. As a result...the hot and very humid airmass in the Middle Mississippi Valley will continue to advect into the Great Lakes Region. A relatively weak cold front will slip down from the Northwest on Friday. Out ahead of this feature there will be a risk for scattered thunderstorms...a few of which could be severe...mainly tonight. Locally heavy rainfall will likely occur as well. && .UPDATE... Issued at 817 AM EDT Thu Jul 21 2016 Increased the probability of rain late this morning into the afternoon based on the line of storms headed our way. Plenty of instability out ahead of it to support convection continuing. Pocket of higher effective deep layer shear will still support some organization of this system for a few more hours. && .SHORT TERM...(Today through Saturday) Issued at 301 AM EDT Thu Jul 21 2016 The main challenge in the short term deals with any headline changes and the potential for severe weather. I kept the heat advisory going for much of the region as not much has really changed in the latest runs of the models. We are still looking at a hot and increasingly humid airmass flowing in from the southwest. Temperatures are likely to climb above 90 degrees today and Friday. Overnight lows are expected to remain in the 70s...especially with the surface dewpoints forecasted to climb well into the 70s today and tonight. Convection could alter the temperatures today into Friday. If the complex currently in MN tracks into the CWA this afternoon...the warmest part of the day may end up being late this morning into the early afternoon hours. Slight risk for severe weather continues mainly for this afternoon and tonight. The complex across MN still looks vigorous and has been forward propagating. SPC mesoanalysis still has 4000 j/kg ml cape ahead of it with effective deep layer shear around 40 knots. Models have been trying to diminish this system and do not seem to have a good handle on it. I think we will need to monitor this feature closely for a possible afternoon severe weather event here in SW MI. Tonight the front presses down from the northwest. Considering we will have a very moist and unstable airmass in place along with a LLJ...the risk for strong convection exists. Very heavy rain could accompany any of the stronger cells with pwat values topping 2 inches and surface dewpoints well into the 70s. Will keep the high pops going for tonight. The risk for storms persists into Friday as well...mainly across southern parts of the CWA .LONG TERM...(Saturday night through Wednesday) Issued at 301 AM EDT Thu Jul 21 2016 Hot humid weather will remain in place through the weekend. However a cold front moving across Michigan Sunday will likely generate showers and thunderstorms, some of which may be strong to severe. Plenty of instability will be in place with highs in the upper 80s and dewpoints in the 70s. Additionally, the LLJ noses into the western cwa by early afternoon and bulk shear values increase to 35 knots, suggesting that some convective organization will be possible. The front should move east of the cwa by Sunday evening. Slightly cooler air will flow in behind it and highs will fall to the lower to mid 80s Monday and Tuesday, both of which look dry at this point. Thunderstorm chances will increase again Wednesday as a warm front moves toward the cwa. && .AVIATION...(For the 18Z TAFS through 18Z Friday afternoon) Issued at 153 PM EDT Thu Jul 21 2016 Line of thunderstorms moving through the area will continue off to the east and southeast through 21z. As the line moves through each TAF site, expect west winds gusting to 30-35 knots and heavy rain. It is possible that the line will increase in intensity and gusts could potentially go higher than 35 knots. 1-2 hour period of MVFR and IFR conditions are expected as the line is moving through, but we should pop back up to VFR later this afternoon. Tonight, we may see another round of storms from 03z-10z moving from north to south through the area. Confidence in this at this time is not high and have VCSH in the TAFs for now. Included some light fog tonight in a post rain, very humid airmass. Conditions should improve to VFR once again Friday morning after about 14z. && .MARINE... Issued at 1116 AM EDT Thu Jul 21 2016 To have better consistency between the surf zone headlines and small craft advisory I extended the SCA one zone south. Also, since the models show winds of 30 knots plus continue until around 10 pm, I extended the time of the SCA to 8 pm. && .HYDROLOGY... Issued at 332 PM EDT Wed Jul 20 2016 The main hydro concern through the end of the week will be localized flooding due to heavy rainfall. Showers and storms are expected mainly Thursday afternoon into early Friday morning. With low confidence in coverage, the pattern will continue to support some locations not seeing enough rain and some locations getting too much too quickly. Basin-average rainfall of a half inch to 1 inch is forecast, but strong thunderstorms could produce localized rainfall totals well over 1 inch. As is typical with summer convection, rainfall totals will probably vary substantially over short distances. && .GRR Watches/Warnings/Advisories... MI...Heat Advisory until 7 PM EDT Friday for MIZ044>046-050>052- 056>059-064>067-071>074. Beach Hazards Statement until 5 PM EDT this afternoon for MIZ037- 043.

DALLAS -- For the last several years, the Red Sox consistently have spent more aggressively than any team in the majors save for the Yankees. As such, the expectation every offseason is that the team is going to wade into the ocean of available talent and explore the players who can make the biggest splash, no matter the cost.
Last year offered a dramatic illustration of the point when the Sox made commitments in excess of $300 million in order to secure the services of Adrian Gonzalez and Carl Crawford. Those two acquisitions reinforced the notion that the Sox can flex financial muscle like few others.
But there is a caveat. The Sox can spend more than most, but they cannot spend, dollar for dollar, with the Yankees. And so, a team that typically spends up to and (including this year) over the luxury tax threshold needs to reset every now and again.
And there are compelling arguments to be made, as the winter meetings get ready to commence in earnest in Dallas on Monday, that this is a year when the Sox should step back and take a more conservative approach to their payroll for a few reasons, something that could leave the Sox, as general manager Ben Cherington suggested, looking to fix what's under the hood rather than trying to buy a new car.
First, despite last season's collapse, the team believes it has a strong core that should permit it to contend. Cherington's metaphor suggests the Sox believe they can be very good without major change.
Secondly, the last couple of seasons have offered reminders of the value of maintaining more in-season financial flexibility. The team invested nearly all of its payroll prior to the start of the season, affording less latitude to make mid-year adjustments.
Even while building a strong roster foundation, injuries in the middle of the year are all but inevitable. The more financial flexibility a team has, the more it can react to those injuries and try to find a midsummer fit on the trade market. And few teams have the ability to take on sizable contracts mid-year; those that do thus have a shot at relatively low-cost acquisitions.
A recent example came in the form of Roy Oswalt. The Astros decided in the middle of 2010 that they needed to shed payroll, and made their best pitcher available. The Phillies gave up two good-but-not-great prospects and a serviceable big league pitcher (J.A. Happ) for a year and a half of Oswalt; the Astros kicked in $11 million of the roughly $21 million left on the right-hander's contract. The Sox, however, were not in position to make an aggressive play for Oswalt at the time. Similarly, when the Indians put Kerry Wood up that year for auction (with little prospect cost attached), the Sox deferred to the Yankees.
Payroll flexibility in the middle of this season could be particularly important given the uncertainties that will surround the Sox' pitching staff. The team will be making decisions on the fly in spring training, potentially including who will be the closer and whether to convert pitchers such as Daniel Bard and/or Alfredo Aceves from the rotation to the bullpen. Unless the team achieves a remarkable form of alchemy, the team might need to have the option of mid-year trades to correct course on the fly.
Finally, the Sox stand at an interesting luxury tax crossroads. If the team cruises past the luxury tax threshold this coming season, the tax will shoot up from the 30 percent rate that the team will pay on its excesses in 2011 to 40 percent next year; if the team went over the threshold in 2012 and 2013, the tax rate would go up to 50 percent.
On the other hand, if the Sox stay under the luxury tax this year (or any other year under the recently approved CBA, the tax rate will drop to 17.5 percent for the next time the team goes over the luxury tax threshold. So, avoiding the luxury tax this year -- something that (assuming that the way that payroll is calculated for luxury tax purposes remains unchanged in the new CBA) may prove nearly impossible given where the team's payroll already stands and its needs this offseason -- could help the team save millions in future years.
That being the case, the Red Sox have yet to sign a single player to a major league free agent deal this winter, yet already the team finds itself in a challenging financial predicament.
Jonathan Papelbon is gone. J.D. Drew is out the door. Jason Varitek and Tim Wakefield -- among others -- may be close behind.
On the surface, the departures of those four players alone would appear to free up more than $30 million in payroll compared to the 2011 season. That, in turn, would put the Sox in a solid position to spend on their offseason needs -- chiefly, figuring out a way to add two or three quality arms (some combination of starters and relievers, depending on what ultimately happens with Aceves and Bard) to a pitching staff that proved woefully, devastatingly thin down the stretch.
But the reality is that the Sox have little room to maneuver if they wish to avoid getting dinged by Major League Baseball for a third straight year of luxury tax penalties. And though the team will examine the cost of virtually every player (particularly every pitcher) on the market, the Sox appear likely to operate as if it is facing meaningful payroll constraints.
An industry source told WEEI.com over the weekend that the Sox have interest in free agent right-hander Hiroki Kuroda this winter, but that the interest is conditional on the Sox being able to move around other funds. The same is likely true of other prominent pitchers (Roy Oswalt, Mark Buehrle, perhaps a closer like Ryan Madson) whom the Sox might consider.
While that stance might seem, on the surface, absurd given the departing money, it reflects the fact that the Sox have a few players whose salaries (as calculated for luxury tax purposes) are about to jump.
Adrian Gonzalez, one of the great bargains in the majors last year at $6.3 million, will see his seven-year, $154 million deal take effect. Jacoby Ellsbury is likely to at least triple his $2.4 million salary of a year ago. Clay Buchholz' four-year deal, worth approximately $30 million, means that he will count for roughly $7 million more against the luxury tax threshold than he did a year ago.
Assuming that the Sox re-sign David Ortiz -- who could sign a deal with an average annual value of at least the $12.5 million he made last year, and potentially more, since he could accept arbitration and claim a raise of a couple million dollars on a one-year contract -- the Sox will already have roughly $170 million in commitments as calculated for luxury tax purposes, which is based (or at least was in the last collective bargaining agreement) on average annual salary (AAV).
The current breakdown of players on the 40-man roster looks like this:
-- The Sox have 12 players signed to big league deals for approximately $126 million. (That figure reflects roughly $24 million in commitments to three players who will not be on the Opening Day roster: John Lackey, who will miss the year after Tommy John surgery; Daisuke Matsuzaka, who will be out until at least mid- or late 2012 while recovering from Tommy John; and the $2.1 million AAV for Jose Iglesias, who will start the year back in the minors.)
-- Ortiz could push that figure up by more than $12 million.
-- The team has nine arbitration-eligible players, led by Ellsbury, but also including others such as Daniel Bard, Alfredo Aceves and Jarrod Saltalamacchia. As a group, they're likely to cost the Sox somewhere around $17 million to $20 million.
-- The roster likely will feature some players who are not yet eligible for arbitration who will earn close to the league minimum of $480,000. At the start of the year, perhaps three positions will be occupied by such players for another $1.5 million or so.
-- The calculation of payroll for luxury tax purposes also includes the salaries of other players on the 40-man roster as well as medical benefits and performance bonuses. Those elements typically add another $12 million or so to a team's payroll calculation.
The result? Without a single acquisition, the Sox already have a payroll (as calculated for luxury tax purposes) of roughly $170 million. That leaves about $8 million (give or take a couple million) to spend before hitting the luxury tax threshold.
And so, for the team to both add one of the better pitchers on the market and avoid the luxury tax, the team would need to shed some payroll through trades and/or non-tenders of players currently on the 40-man roster.
In short, the Sox may not be in a position where they can simply add payroll. As such, when Cherington gets under the hood of the 2012 Red Sox, he likely will be doing more tinkering than making major overhauls.
