He would take ABs away from Gomes. I don't think that he would be such an upgrade over Gomes to justify making the deal.

Iggy made a big impression on me during Spring Training. He had completely re-tooled his swing , and he was swinging the bat with authority. He was no longer a slap hitter. In Spring Training, he was hitting the ball hard but did not get results. When he got his chance with the big club, the hits started falling in at a very high rate. Recently, that started to normalize, but I don't think he will go back to being an offensive black hole. With Iggy leaving, it seems that some people think that we will see Bogaerts at age 20 (a la Machado for the O's last year). That would be exciting if he injects the energy that Machado did last year. I guess that Middlebrooks is an option, but I am not sure that they will want to risk inserting a black hole into a power slot in the lineup. I don't see Snyder as an option. The trade market also has to be a possibility.

LOL! Good point. The shoe is on the other foot this time. Those trades for nothing always seem to coincide with the player's rejuvenation for the Skanks. I hope that we have the same results.
-
if we win the championship, I'll never look back at the trade. I never thought about Hanley after 2007. I wouldn't care if he beat every record in the book. The same goes for anyone who gets traded to get us another championship in 2013.

me too.

Would you?

I like boobs. When I call him Ben the Boob, it is a term of affection. BTW, I wonder when was the last time that someone used that term in reference to Benny.
-
No, I think you are disagreeing with me because you are a racist.
-
I would rather have picked up most of Lee's salary and give JBJ, but not Bogaerts.
-
So, we got what we paid for. The question is whether it will help. I have said over and over that I would rather get a big bat.
-
The difference between Lee and Peavy is like night and day. I don't see that this trade will help us much in the playoffs.
-
i am not super pumped about this trade. I'd rather have gotten a big bat.
-
I hope they don't trade anyone. You never have enough pitching. We have been looking for a steady #5 since we thought we had excess pitching and traded Arroyo.
-
He'd hit a ton of doubles at Fenway.
-
Another deal is coming is my guess.
-
First base. The guy is a very good hitter.
-
Reports are that Iggy is gone. At this point, I don't care about the other pieces if Iggy is the big piece. I am more concerned about who we will get to play third base.
-
I hope we get Howie Kendrick instead of Michael Young.
-
Now they are saying it's a 3 way deal with the Tigers as the 3rd team.
-
I think this trade means that we will be getting Young. Without Iggy, we will not stick with Snyder full-time at 3B. WMB isn't coming back anytime soon. Young seems to be the obvious choice.
-
BoSox must really worried about Buch's ability to make it back this season for them to pull the trigger on this deal.
-
Details to follow.

Source?

I'd prefer to go with "low-life lying cheat." LOL!

when asked why Iglesias was removed in the 9th, Farrell referenced the speculation regarding the trade deadline, but said that he was removed just to get Snyder in the game.
