GimmeShelter 21,641 Posted November 25, 2005 Share Posted November 25, 2005 I see in finalizing the trade Boston got G. Mota relief pitcher- he could be a steal in this trade if he can control his emotions. another guy that has real good stuff to try to put it all together You are right Faba. Nice set-up guy who the Sox won't owe anything to after 06 is they so choose. Needs to return to 2003-2004 form. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mbn007 2,854 Posted November 25, 2005 Share Posted November 25, 2005 Sorry Ham....trade was a no brainer. The Sox now have not one, but two Aces who have proven without a shadow of a doubt that they can stand on the mound in the Bronx for a big game and absolutely piss all over the Yankees Fantasy Baseball Line-up. Yes, trade was a no-brainer. But why did the Bosox have serious concerns about his shoulder, so much so, that they demanded the Marlins add Mota for a minor leager, or they turn away from this deal. Add in the fact that Beckett has been DLed twice for shoulder tendonitis, and 9 times in 5 years for blisters, and there is a strong possibility that something goes wrong in 2006 with him. The question is, how long will he be out. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
GimmeShelter 21,641 Posted November 25, 2005 Share Posted November 25, 2005 At 26 worth the risk for what they gave up. He is no more of a DL risk than Randy-Wright-Wang-Pavano-Moose. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Actually, in the last few years, he has been on the DL more times then these folks combined :wink: Seriously, the trade was a very solid one for the Bosox. The risk is what will the health picture be with Schilling and Beckett. Beckett has never pitched more then 180 or so innings. Never. The injury issue is a real live concern.

JonEJet 61,506 Posted November 26, 2005 Author Share Posted November 26, 2005 Must be nice to freespend like the Sawx Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Maxman 539,297 Posted November 26, 2005 Share Posted November 26, 2005 Must be nice to freespend like the Sawx Jon....if they are happy buying championships then so be it. I prefer the homegrown talent approach myself! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jet/BosoxFan 2,164 Posted November 26, 2005 Share Posted November 26, 2005 Must be nice to freespend like the Sawx I beg your pardon, nothing is free when you trade! Hanley Ramirez was/is one of those "cant miss" prospects. He was a SS though, and as you know we have Edgar Renteria for the next 3 years and an infield prospect named Dustin Pedroia equivalent to H. Ramirez's level 2 years ago. What you, as a Yankee fan, MEANT to say was: "it must be nice to have depth" Yes, JonEJinx, Maxman, and others, it is very nice! You wouldnt know much about that. Now Toronto, that team is one of the freespenders! Which is really what youre upset about...you thought it was your birthright to get BJ Ryan, especially after we got Josh Beckett! bwa-hahhahahahahahahahahhahahahahahahahaha Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Good luck turning on Beckett like you did EVERY other sox player to wear the uniform. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
