Last week stunk, didn't it? Not #AskSpector, I mean. That was lots of fun. The week in general, though, was pretty doggone awful. So, I've been looking forward to doing a new Tweetbag for a while, and here we are again, starting the week the right way, with your questions. To get an answer here, just go on Twitter and use the #AskSpector hashtag. For now, let's get on to the questions we've got, and have a little fun.

The Red Sox recently said they were going to spend big this off season. Who do you see as their targets?

The Snorting Bull (@TheSnortingBull)

The only big-name position player who really makes a lot of sense for the Red Sox on the prospective free agent market is Nelson Cruz, to Saquon Barkley Jersey come in, play left field, and get really familiar with the Green Monster while blasting plenty of balls over it with his bat. Boston could then get Yoenis Cespedes' arm into right field, and presumably put a healthy-again Shane Victorino in center.

Could you go for Hanley Ramirez, put him on the left side of the infield with Xander Bogaerts, and cut bait on Will Middlebrooks? Yes, but it might not be the best idea, and doesn't seem that likely to happen anyway. Maybe Ru sell Martin? But the Red Sox have big-time catching prospects.

Most likely, the Red Sox will be looking to spend big on pitching, whether that means bringing back Jon Lester or going after Max Scherzer, maybe while also adding Ervin Santana or James Shields. How would Brandon McCarthy look in a Boston uniform? But then, these all are pitchers on the wrong side of 30 who will be looking for long-term deals. Is Boston really up for that?

Keep in mind that spending big does not nece sarily mean on the free agent market. If Boston can get valuable players in Nate Solder Jersey trades, the chips are there to make it happen, and the ability to absorb salary can help a lot to get deals done. Exactly who will be available on the trade market very much remains to be seen.

which of baseball's unwritten rules irk you most, and with which are you on board?

Jennifer Cosey (@VivaTigres)

I very much dislike anything that uses tradition as a justification for throwing baseballs at people in exce s of 90 miles per hour. Even if you're aiming for the back, you can easily hit the head, and it's injecting danger into the game for no reason. I find most unwritten rules stupid, because there are enough written ones, and because it's about saving face for opponents in profe sional sports, which to me is silly. I am, however, on board with pitchers who get upset at batters who take too long to get into the box.

Should Jenrry Mejia organise for fireworks to go off on the mound very time he gets a Strikeout?

Frazer Loveman (@FSGLoveman)

I wish he would. The Mets telling Mejia to tone down Sterling Shepard Jersey his act was annoying to me. The man's job is to close out victories for his team. You're supposed to be excited about winning, and the guys on the other team are supposed to be profe sionals who can handle losing. If they can't, who cares about hurting their delicate feelings? People complain that baseball is boring, then complain about players being emotional about it. Can't have it both ways.

tweeted this before, but I want Ichiro on the Astros playing for 3000. He could teach Altuve a lot, and vice versa

Ryan Suhl (@suhlnichi)

This is not so much a question as an opinion, and I'm curious as to what Jose Altuve could teach Ichiro. I don't think it's a terrible idea for Ichiro to go to Houston, although I don't know if he would really want to go there. If Ichiro sticks around, his best fit is as a part-time player the times this year when he has been pre sed into everyday service for the Yankees have been a disaster, but when he's playing a couple of times a week, he's pretty good. As a fourth outfielder, he still gives you a strong outfield arm, OK speed, and the ability to hit his way on base. He'll be 41 next season, so you can understand why playing every day is not the best idea. I would think that he would want to be with a team with a good chance at winning the World Series, and probably to stay in the American League for familiarity's sake. Heading back to Seattle would be a pretty decent option, all things considered.

Will Hernandez Jersey How is Robinson Cano not the leading AL MVP candidate? He transformed the Mariners.

Kevin Fitzgerald (@KJF1tz)

It could have something to do with the fact that the best player in baseball plays for the first-place team in Cano's division. I'd also argue that Cano is not the MVP of his own team it's Felix Hernandez. If you don't want to have that argument, I'll challenge the notion that Cano has transformed Darius Slayton Jersey the Mariners, as you say. They are 11th in the American League in scoring, up only one spot in the rankings from last year. Seattle's team ERA was 4.31 last year, and this year it's 3.00. Unle s Cano has been secretly pitching, he hasn't transformed a thing about that team.

do you think the Jays stand a chance in the wildcard race, or will I have my heart broken?

Richard Lee-Sam (@RLeesam)

They still stand a chance, yes, but you're going to have your heart broken.

why does Ned Yost hate me?

J.R. Lind (@jrlind)

Without having the opportunity to directly ask Yost about his feelings about you, I am unable to confirm that he does, in fact, hate you. If he really does, I'm sure he has his reasons. Perhaps you remind him of a schoolyard enemy from his childhood. Maybe it's the sound of your voice. It's po sible that there's just a certain je ne sais quois about your personality that rubs him the wrong way, and that even for all your best intentions, you cannot win him over. Quite po sibly, he does not like the way that you criticize his handling of his job requirements.

Who do you think will be the next MLB star to retire in your opinion?

Troy Johnson Jr. (@TroySports1)

I think it will be Derek Jeter, in about two weeks. Paul Konerko, too.

how much water should I drink right now to not be hung over tomorrow?

Digger (@diggermotherx)

I find that one gla s of water for every two beers or equivalent thereof is a pretty solid rule of thumb. Once you cro s a certain threshold of alcohol consumed, though, it's not going to matter.

My brother is a Cubs fan. Is there any chance he'll see them even contend (never mind win the WS) in his life?

T. Rinn (@YawAxis)

Yes. Next year. So it is written in the scrolls of the North Side Church of McFly. So it will be done.

In 2015 do the scrolls of state that the majority of Cubs playoff and WS games are played during the day

hedda spector (@heddaspector)

All we know from the scrolls is that Lawrence Taylor Jersey the Cubs will win the 2015 World Series. It is likely that most of the games will be played at night, according to the Scrolls of Murdoch.

Why the farewell tour w/gifts from opposing teams for Jeter and Rivera? You
