Lastings Millege... ohh the memories of the dugout dances with jose reyes.
The scott kazmir trade was awful. I remember in the book moneyball, Beane wanted to pass on him because he was a high school pitcher (in the draft). He was obsessed with swisher and wanted a 3 way trade for Youkilis, the greek God of walks.

Moncada is a talent but his two positions are 2nd and CF. No room in Boston. I like to see prospects go to the Sox and make good, like Xavier and Mookie but I rather see holes filled (hee hee "holes filled"). Benny Cherington held prospects like Scrooge McDuck. Could have got Cole Hamels for Blake Swihart. Dolt. True, I never thought of it that way regarding Moncada. Still a great deal for both teams. The White Sox get future building blocks, the Red Sox put themselves in prime position to compete with the AL Pennant. That drives me nuts with Sandy Alderson a bit, although he did bite the bullet and trade Michael Fulmer for Cespedes back in 2015. Fulmer looks like the real deal but Cespedes has been a godsend. But I remember back in the day when the Mets would just never trade their prospects, no matter who wanted them, only to turn around at the trade deadline when they had no realistic shot at the playoffs and dump their prospects for dogshit. Lastings Milledge and Scott Kazmir in particular come to mind. Bloody hell, every team under the sun wanted Milledge and no matter what the offer, the Mets would turn it down. He turned out to be a massive bust. But then they turn around and trade Scott Kazmir when they're treading water in 2004 for.....Victor Zambrano!!! Gross. At least Milledge came out with this sweet single!: Bend Ya Knees
Half the links on here take you back to the op. im guilty of it too. |

yeah. what happened with travis shaw? he was so good early on last year at third. i think he flamed out or something. the sox have a loaded outfield though. i hoped that when papi left, they would calm down for a while, but then they signed chris sale. they just keep coming up with prime FA and the yankees are doing nothing! Shaw was traded to Milwaukee for Tyler Thornburg. kimbrall is throwing some major heat today! remy is impressed. |
