Well you were clamoring for the Sox to trade Lester for Willis
About Ellisbury, its still looking like that he will step into the leadoff/center field role when he's fully groomed in the minors. Coco will more than likely revert back to left field like he did when Grady Sizemore came in.
Coco & Beckett are both 26, not in their mid-30s. They wont be the same players in 10 years, only can get better. Becketts adjusting to the AL while Coco is bouncing back from a hand injury. That must have some affect on his bat, right?
Ah sorry but youre stuck with the "not as good" Coco Crisp for 4/5 more seasons. A guy who is in his prime is really going to pull down the team, damn you Theo
IMO Beckett wasnt the immediate pitcher that Sox acquired after Pedro left. Wells & Clement were the 05 replacements for Lowe and Pedro.
