Would love that. Reyes is probably more available than Gonzales. He's near the end of his contract and all anyway. Maybe a 3 player deal, Boston pitcher to the Brewers, Hardy and Boston pitcher to the Mets, Reyes to Boston?

Would you two please just get a room and get it over with? This is getting old.

Lars would be in a Gonzalez deal as a matter of course though, soo I actually think the most important player would probably be the second high ceiling near MLB ready position player we were offering in the deal, probably Reddick.
-
Sure, but if Theo isn't filling a need, by which I mean a position that has no average or above average players to fill it, I have yet to see him overpay in those situations. i don't think we "need an impact bat." It'd be nice, it'd certainly add wins that could turn out to be critical, but if the ones we have turn in average performances from here on out we should be OK.

How well would he have to play at shortstop to really muddy the waters after that level of pitching performance? Serious question here, I mean I'd love nothing more than to see the guy dominate the league at SS, but we're talking abou a 19 year old putting up solid numbers at Class A Advanced. That's pretty awesome stuff, I'm not sure if anything he does in Lowell is going to compare. he'd basically have to hit 10 HR's in a month and a half or something obscene like that. that said, I definitely want him playing SS if his body can handling it. If nothing else, having it on your resume in the minors opens up possibilities in the majors if we need to make some odd substitutions in a game, or something. Having a pitcher who can play regular infield as an emergency option just increases his usefulness, even if it doesn't happen in a given year. Also, if the guy can keep swinging the bat a little here and there against live pitching, that'll be useful during interleague play.

I think Drew and Lugo were a little different. We had no ability to internally replace at those positions. We basically had the choice between JD Drew and David Murphy, Julio Lugo and probably David Eckstein. I don't regret Theo taking the risk on the guy he did in either case. Anyway, in this case even if you don't count Lowell, we do still have LaRoche, Youkilis and Bates in the minors who could be called up on an emergency basis. Lowrie's ability to play 3b is also a factor here. The alternative to overpaying is not a hole at the position in other words.

Not convinced that MDC and Westmoreland is worth more than Expo and Reddick.

Just for the fun of it let's try this thought experiment. You're Theo, and you're on the phone with Towers. You want Gonzalez, and Towers comes back with the following offer. To the Boston Red Sox Adrian Gonzalez to the San Diego Padres Lars Anderson Josh Reddick Clay Buchholz Luis Exposito Do you take it and run or do you say no?
-
*shrug* Fine, but Adrian Gonzalez will finish the season a San Diego Padre. He's too good and too cheap for there to be any likelihood that Theo will meet Towers' asking price. And if you'll notice, no one has even suggested that Towers is remotely receptive to this, just that Theo is pursuing it.
-
Because of the character of Theo Epstein. He does not overpay. To get Gonzelez out of San Diego, I think you'll agree he'd have to overpay.
-
The Sox can pursue him as aggressively as they want, he's still not coming here

The "Bring Matt Holliday to Boston" Bandwagon

Scutaro = Orlando Cabrera.

I dunno, if you started resting him now and gave him most of the rest of the season, plus the offseason, to recover, you might be able to get the old Mike Lowell back by next year.
-
Our top prospect rarely is.
-
Right. It might be Maalox Time for Theo, but he knows better than to turn the roster on its head.
-
We could be Royals fans instead. They just blew their 4th consecutive lead, all in the 8th inning, and their manager never brought their closer in in any of those games.
-
Guh. Well, in my defense, it's late, and I'm not the only one to fall for mixing up the two laRoches.
-
Get here fast, Andy. We REALLY need you.

The "Bring Matt Holliday to Boston" Bandwagon
Dojji replied to PWNdroia's topic in Boston Red Sox Talk
Jason Bay OPS: .806 Matt Holliday OPS: .830 JD Drew OPS: .817 Some upgrade. Looks like an expensive lateral move to me. -
I dunno, Kilo, I don't think you made it big enough. Bay is only traded if we can use it to secure our position at LF beyond this year AND Bay won't sign.

I would rather have Drew fin RF than have Holliday there. -
I would be happy to acquire Lee.
