As we all know, there is a temptation in this town to exaggerate the skills of trade targets. While the Sox could use the thump of Adrian Gonzalez, he's not exactly Pujols or Howard or Ortiz (03-08). His career OPS sits at .872.
Not only would it take Buccholz and high prospects to get him, it would send a 1B gold glover to 3B and bench Beltre, another guy Theo and his minions are so high on.
