Dont you think any year in Boston there is pressure to win it all? Theo wants to build the farm yes, but he wants to build his farm into geat major leaguers... thats the end product and in the end Theo wants his young pitchers to turn into a Dontrelle Willis...overated or not(which he isnt imo) If he can trade a minor league pitcher for a 25 year old alreadyestablished MLB stud, he will. Its shown this already in dealing Hanley Ramirez who people also said untouchable.
He may not be traded, or he may be traded. No knows and thats the point of fans having opinons. =)
