In a couple of years his contract will almost be over and we will still have to suffer through 3 more years of Drew.

I hope they are done shopping him. I hated just about every package that I heard. Keeping him will keep the two-headed monster in place, and Yankee fans will be disappointed once again. The Dodgers were *******s if they didn't offer Broxton. A 290 lb pitcher is not going to last very long, even as a short man. That is just way too big a frame. His knees will be shot in 4 or 5 years.

I disagree. This was a miscalcualtion of the market. It was also a mistake for them to be blind-sided by the Yankees. There is absolutely no factual or other basis to beleive that the oft-injured Drew is a better bet than Damon. It was a mistake if for no other reason than they had to pay dearly to restock the OF with a productive offensive player. We already had one. If Damon falls off a cliff and Drew finally reaches his potential it will be nothing more than luck. I don't think either of those things will happen.

Not facing the Red Sox should help his ERA by about a half a run.

After the Drew signing I don't think anyone can continue to deny that letting Damon walk to the Yankees for 4/$52 was a mistake

Drew is a great RF, but not a great CF. WMP is an okay CF, but not a good RF, especially in Fenway. Playing Drew in CF and WMP in Rf would weaken two positions. As for the delay with the Drew deal, maybe the Sox FO is using it as some leverage in the Matsuzaka negotiations. Otherwise, I see no reason for the delay in finalizing the deal.

You are probably right.

Sure. Ir makes perfect sense.

Betancourt would be the starting SS and Lug would play second. Pedroia would be a bench player.

He is a gamer, but if his bat does not make a recovery, he has little left in the way of physical skills. Occasionally, he can throw out a 40 year old DH, but he usually cannot throw out anyone with all of his limbs. His value is in handling a pitching staff which will not be affected by age.

I hope that it would only be as the Clubhouse Boy.

My first choice is that he not be traded, but it looks like a virtual certainty that he will be traded. My first choice of trade would be to get Peavy and pick up Bonds as a FA. My second choice of trade would be Scott Shields and Juan Rivera. Third choice is the Dodgers and I am not crazy about getting a bunch of unproven youngsters. Broxton looks good, but he could be just a hard thrower who is not as good as Beckett. EDit: Today's Herald mentions the Red Sox pursuit of Broxton and Toby Hall of the Dodgers. I would hope that substantially more than that would be involved.

You have to understand that from the time we wake up in the morning to the time we go to sleep at night 365 days a year and 366 days in leap years we hate everything about the Yankees
