The thing I don't understand is why the hell Theo wants to play moneyball and model after teams like Atlanta and Oakland when we're the SECOND RICHEST TEAM IN BASEBALL. Oakland has nowhere near the fanbase or money that we have, forcing them to have such large value for young players and prospects. We can afford to lose a prospect or two to acquire a Roy Oswalt. Jon Lester would be lucky to ever be on Roy Oswalt's level. Don't get me wrong, I like Lester, but he's a prospect and you can just look at our recent history and see multiple highly valued prospects that failed. When you have Manny and Ortiz, two of the best power hitters in the game and both MVP candidates in their prime, and a pitching rotation that could use one more premier pitcher to put them to the next level, you have to give up a prospect or two. Schilling, Oswalt, and Beckett could have been the most dangerous pitching trio in the playoffs and you add a lights out closer and an already potent offense, come on. All I have to say is that Hansen and Lester better turn out to be what everyone is building them up to be or Theo will look like a fool in the eyes of many.
