marte but is fine prospect but there are alot better prospects than him......delmon young, brandon wood, justin upton, bj upton, stephen drew, etc.....i love marte and i agree i want to keep him if we can revive this reds 3 way deal.
youkilis and it should not even be a question. snow is nothing more than a defensive replacement at this point in his career. he may get an occasional start here or there but what i want from him is a late inning defensive replacement.
the newspapers would have told us if these players ever were coming to boston for a physical. they never did. none of them even came to boston until beckett did recently for the boston baseball writers dinner.
mota, beckett, and lowell never had physicals with boston.....mota was out of the country, beckett never came up from texas and who knows where lowell was. the sox made the deal with medical reports, MRI's, medical charts but no physicals
when the sox made the beckett deal they should have gave each player a physical before the deal was made. had mota failed his physical right then and there i would have went right back to the marlins and asked for juan pierre which would have ended this entire mess. i would have had no problem with throwing in someone like abe alvarez or a kelly shoppach on top of anibal, hanley, harvey garcia, and jesus delgado if it netted us juan pierre.
plenty of time turn to this thing around.....we just need to string alot of wins together.....we're gonna win 8 in a row and get right back in the race.
i wouldn't make that trade. the D was their weak point to begin with. they need both hannu and raycroft to get healthy ASAP and then trade raycroft for scoring help.
how about like when john from medford called in and said he would gladly throw jon lester in the deal instead if manny delcarmen because he saw delcarmen pitch in the majors already. i mean how stupid are these callers that are so called red sox fans.
riverside that is alittle more reasonable deal if the Guardians give us one of their top guys. but if not scrap this whole thing and lets move on to either reed, michaels, or matos.
i hope theo comes to save the day and squashes this whole thing. there is no reason to even through in 3 of our top 10 prospects and getting really only crisp in return. either they give us garko or synder or call this deal off.
