Gotta keep Lowell in this conversation. I think most people are forgetting about him. Sure, he's injury plauged now and is at the end of his career, but he was just an afterthough to the deal for Florida.

He was a huge steal, since his 2007 season was great, and his posteason was monstorous. That one year of performance makes him a major factor in how good the deal was, since he was a sweetener that ended up playing at MVP caliber during a title year.

I've heard so much that the trade was basically one of those rare occassions where both teams ended up benefiting equally in the long run and I agree with that view. The key was the trade had a Beckett equal a Ramirez, so its really the extra stuff in the deal that would be the real "key" parts. Since Lowell basically had a monster season and a huge reason why they were able to win it during a year where both Manny and Ortiz had a slow season production wise , he ended up being the difference maker.

Of course the whole deal was Red Sox were willing to sacrifice the SS position they never had stable since maybe early 2000s while Marlins were willing to sacrifice a good reason they were able to win with pitching in 2003.
