From the Royals? Nothing, they paid the league minimun salary and the Sox paid the rest.

Bud, A player can't be traded for draft picks in baseball.
-
Actually he can't hit RHP or LHP.
-
There are a lot of players who might fit those aspects and would sign for a lot less than Nixon. Offering Nixon arbritation is a mistake, there isn't an organization that will offer him a salary close to what he could make in arbritation and at this time in Nixon's carreer he is barely an fourth outfielder.

With the signing of Japanese LH reliever Hidecki Okajima brings the the Sox forty man roster to 34 players.

Red Sox minor league transactions
scaffolds replied to scaffolds's topic in Red Sox Minor League Talk
The Sox have signed Joe Mc Ewin to a minor league contract. The 34 yrs Mc Ewin could a very good insurance for second base. -
Must of you guys have missed the point and the question. Who else besides Manny will go in that trade?
-
So not only they going to be weaker in LF but also at third base. Weak Weak trade.
-
I do agree that trading Manny is a mistake, but having a unhappy Manny on the team is also a problem. Drew and Lugo isn't enough to help the loss of Manny, they need to up grade first base and Youkilis is cheap and tradeable, while his bat isn't strong because he can play a couple of positions organizations might be interested.

Bosox; There was talk since early in the off season that it was very likely that the Sox wasn't going to tender Snyder a contract, with the new baseball deal the non tender has been change, i believe that is now around December 10 (but I am not sure about that date) I was also very surprised that Spann wasn't placed on the 40 man roster, but he can't be place on it until after the rule 5 draft.

The talk about Manny getting traded at the baseball Winter meeting is picking up steam day by day, but according to some talk it seems that it would be a packaged deal instead of Manny being dealt by himself. earlier in the off season there was talk that Coco Crisp or Wily Mo Pena could be traded, but if Manny its traded its very likely that both will be in the Sox outfield in 2007. If neither Crisp or Pena isn't traded Who would it be. In my opinion one of this three would be part of the seal. 1- Kevin Youkilis 2- David Murphy 3- Matt Clement
-
Its well known that the Red Sox 40 man roster as today stands at only 33 players, but the Sox has a bunch of openings and needs. The possible addition from the rule 5 draft and trades the Sox could need to make room in the 40 man roster. Who could be move out of the roster? 1- Kyle Snyder 2- David Pauley 3- Lenny Dinardo
-
Cashman would trade for Beckett in a minute if he could. Thats how bad Beckett is..... come on.
-
My final point, I have never said that he projects a #5, actually he projects a #3, but that i won't be surprised that he will be the #5 in 2007.
-
Actually you're the one who is missing the point. Papelbon startered three games in the ML in 2005 if you called that a sucess this conversation will be a very short one. Verlander besides a better fastball than Papelbon and isn't straight has a plus curveball and in top of that while he doesn't used as much he should he change up is at least average. Papelbon not matter how much you wanted it to be is 91-93 and a splitter that is a good one, but not great. My college point was to tell you about his background but you don't wanted hear about that and where rude on the information.
-
If you compare Verlander to Papelbon you lose me, Verlander is a lot better pitcher than Papelbon. First of all has a proven record as a starter, Papelbon hasn't, Verlander's fastball is 95-96 which he can maintain deep into games touching 97-98, Papelbon can throw 95 for an inning, as a starter he was 91-93. While Papelbon has a good splitter (can't call it great) Verlander has better breaking pitches. If your point is Papelbon is as good as Verlander your point isn't objective. One more point you keep saying that Papelbon has evindence of sucess. As what as a closer? as a stater? If is as a starter, it wasn't in the ML. he had sucess in Sarasota and Portland, but even at those levels Verlander was better. You keep saying he is a #2, where is the proof that he is a #2 is he better than Schillings or Beckett? of course not, I won't be at all surprised to see Papelbon be the #5 starter in the Sox rotation in 2007.
-
Not all of the questions are health related, Papelbon has a VERY limeted background as a starter, he went to Mississippi state as a first baseman, became a pitcher and was a reliever only in college after the Sox drafted him he was a starter for about a year and half. After i posted earlier he is a two pitch pitcher and unless he can get a least a third pitch to be average he may struggle. People speculate that because he had sucess as a closer he can have it as a starter and that's not true.
-
Size wise he is, as a starter there is a lot of questions.
-
I can't tell you exactly when his family came over to the States, but he was a different pitcher when they came over than before.

In the latest baseball agreement it specified that a player that has been signed at 18 yrs would have to play 5 seasons in the minor leagues before he would be subject to the Rule 5 draft if not protected in the 40 man roster. Chad Spann was signed and starting playing in 2002, 2002-2006 is 5 years in the minors, since Spann isn't protected in the 40 man roster he is elegible for the 2006 RUle 5 draft. This post is in response to another brainless post.

Nipper really screw Hansen last year with the right pitching coach Hansen should be an ALL Star closer.
-
Manny along Pujols are the best right handed hitters in the game for some times and a sure HALL OF Famer, but if traded will never bring back the same value. I don't believe that the Rangers will do a 2 for one trade (Manny for Young and Texeira) but will they Manny, Youkilis and a middle tier minor league pitcher for Young and Texeira?
