BCEagle74 {l Wrote}:Red Sox should package their young and great pitchers and other prospects and $3M for Adrian Gonzalez or Prince Fielder.
Sox get Gonzalez and maybe re-sign Beckett, they will be right there with the Yankees with Teixiera and the rest.
Gonzalez who was given away by the Rangers is the 2nd best player in baseball besides Pujols, in that bad hitting cavern and slap hitters hitting in front and behind him.
Yankees have some real weak spots, bullpen lefty pitching, outfield hitting will be a real helter skelter, Posada, Jeter, Pettitte and Rivera are getting old fast too.
Rivera is one second away from having that transition year into Bolivian and Joba is so stupid he can't pitch more than 3 innings and should be eased into Rivera's slot this year with Mariano's mentorship, but old epic Hall of Fame 5 ring warriors off excellent seasons do not want to put the swords of battle away --- in high pressure and adrenalin pumping moments that we all live for...and be set-up men like he was for Wettleland.
Sox can re-leap by with a major move.
Being GM for Pittsburgh and other cheap ass baseball teams and no money markets is a real job, Theo and Cashman have the keys to the mint and should be 1-2 every year and being 2 just sucks.

BCEagle74 {l Wrote}:Berkman and Oswalt are now on the market.
Adrian Gonzalez...
Yankees should package Vasquez and some prospects for Oswalt.
Adrian Gonzalez is the real prize here. Teixiera's equal.
One would have to DH amd OF in in NY.

flyingelvii {l Wrote}:The only place where the Sox have a glaring weakness is the bullpen. Sure they can try to get a bat but who's going to go down or get DFA'd when Pedroia, VMart, Tek, Ellsbury, and Hermida come back? It's really a matter of whether their guys can get healthy enough while they're still in contention. Theo is arguably the best GM in the game (his peers recently voted that) so I trust pretty much whatever he decides to do.

flyingelvii {l Wrote}:So you bench Beltre even though he's arguably been the Sox best bat? Gotcha.
Edit: Fielder's also arbitration eligible next year so the Brewers still have him under control. Isn't a FA until after the 2011 season. CORRECTED!
Edit 2: Before the absurdity of injuries, IIRC the Sox were tops in the ML in runs scored (at least in top 5). So, about that bat. Seriously, though, they need health and bullpen reinforcement and to watch out for that ever elusive annual August swoon.

And? It doesn't matter if it's now or February, you seem to think that it only takes one team to make a trade.
Like I said back in March, the Padres want to wait until the deadline so they can maximize value. And if they're still in first place then, they're not selling.

Dude, it's done already. Think there is any chance he fails the physical or they don't give him Ryan Howard money? Didn't think so. The only way this deal didn't happen was Hoyer asking for too much in return.
