BOS- Just because you're in first place doesn't mean you don't need to make a deal. The Red Sox have not been better than the Yankees this year, just were better and beating up NL teams. The Yankees got two huge pickups and the Red Sox did nothing. They still don't have an ace pitcher and their bullpen sans Timlin and Papelbon stinks.
PIT- "good" wasn't the word I meant to use. Value was. Wilson was high on many teams list and Casey and Wells could've gotten alot more back than what they did. Wilson is the major fuckup here though, only getting Chacon is ridiculous. Wilson didn't have a position? Well he's better than all of the Pirates outfielders sans Bay and better than their first baseman. Their fault for not realizing what they had. And Chacon blows.
NYM- Hernandez is a total fluke. Perez I don't see bouncing back. Needed a quality pitcher, didn't get one.
WAS- They got excellent offers for Soriano, that's the point. I know for a fact LAAA was offering some of their top prospects.
CHC- Doesn't matter. Izturis is shite. And I meant middle infield, not infield. Izturis-Cedeno is unbelievably bad.
KC - lol I didn't mean Stairs as somebody who had potential. Was talking Affeldt and Bautista. Affeldt hasn't been great but he and Bautista obviously have good stuff and could turn it around, that's why I'm on the fence here
