I was againist it at the time because he was raking this season. I was against it because I didnt think any player could replace his protection against David Ortiz. Admitidly I was wrong, but honestly can you blame me? The guy was so good for so long. However, the point of my comment had nothing to do with Jason Bay. He wasnt even in my mind. I was just pointing out the fact how much things have changed with Pedroia, and Youk in the 3/4, as compared to a healthy Ortiz/Ramirez which was damn fun to watch for 5+ seasons.
