Red Sox acquire Mike Stanton

[stocker323]

He is not eligible for postseason play, but only for the series against the Yankees. 2 minor leaguers went to the Nats in return. Discuss.

Oh jesus. I've seen a lot of him here in the NY area, and what I've seen wasn't good.

um haha, im speechless

 

what is it about that most players on the red sox and yankees current rosters have played for or will someday play for the rival team? i guess its tradition dating back to babe ruth

[Yankees13]

Why would you acquire someone for 3 games? Sox already have Myers as the LOOGY anyone.

[riverside sluggers]

if he's able to help us, why not? this is a big key series, and it helps if you have another veteran relief pitcher. Besides Sox will now benefit with 3 left-handed relievers in Myers, Stanton, and DiNardo.

 

Stanton did do a respectable job with the Nationals in 30 games. 2-1 record with a 3.58 ERA

Why not?

 

He'll serve as the 2nd lefty in the pen.

I think we should trade Mike Stanton for Alan Embree

 

....wait just kidding

[riverside sluggers]

To make room for Stanton, Wade Miller was transferred to the 60 day disabled list

Psh. Wade Miller. What a joke that was.

In general....the pitching staff of the 2005 Boston Red Sox has been a joke

[RedRuffing15]

He didn't do that great this year, but over the times hes been great for us, I guess in the far future I hope he does the same for you, just not this weekend

[ManyOrtiz]

Too bad about Miller. Definitely had hope that he would return to pre-injured form. Perhaps the joke staff will pull great playoff performances(if we make it) like Lowe did last year.

[yankeessuck013]

look at the brightside, Stanton's ERA is lower then 18 of the 23 pitchers who have pitched for us all year.

[Pinstripe_Pride]

lol that should be fun. i guess the red sox thought they should pick up yankee garbage as the yanks have been doing with red sox garbage. maybe they think stanton will reveal confidential yankee secrets....ohh the possibilities.

[Boogie]

Haha

i wouldnt count on it, Stanton loved his time with the Yanks. Even when he was with the Mets he was always complaining about the lack of a "professional attitude" over there and was always complaining the Mets organization to the Yankees. I bet he's not too happy about this move.

 

When I walked in the door to find that Mike Stanton was traded to the Sox I was in shock. It hurts, because even though he pitched exactly 1 year for you guys before he pitched for us (Trade deadline 1995 he was traded to you guys from Atlanta, trade deadline 1996 you guys traded him to Texas), I, among others, consider him a Yankee.

Hes not garbage. His era with the nats has gone down a lot lately.
