Corey Patterson for our CF solution? Not a bad replacement! Although Trot's value here is pretty high...Tough decision, because I'd much rather have Johnny in CF and Trot in RF, but with Johnny's salary requests it doesn't look like that's gunna happen. Although the Sox' GM by committee has clearly disclosed that one of its top priorities was to re-sign Johnny. The good thing I'm liking though, is that there are a lot of different roads we could take in terms of trades. Lots of teams are interested in lots of our players, and I like it like that.
EDIT: Patterson is still young, and has lots of room for improvement. I see a tremendous upside for him and I wouldn't mind giving him a shot if we don't re-sign Damon. That's what I mean when I say "Not a bad replacement."
