ESPN had some pretty bad headlines yesterday. The headlines tried to play it up like a huge deal, and then the c-dek was just like "maybe".

In terms of the book, I can't determine how credible the sources are, so I will continue to wait for more information. I never really cared that much anyway (for some reason I see Your Hero making a big fuss about this)

White Sox get:
INF Alex Cintrón

Diamondbacks get:
RP Jeff Bajenaru

Pretty even trade with a slight advantage to the White Sox. Slugs, who is going to take Bejanaru's bullpen spot? Javier Lopez?

Cintron is a very solid player, but I dont think there was room for him in the infield. I don't know how Bajenaru is.

I like the Cintron trade. Gives us an actual backup SS now (instead of using Dye in an emergecy situation).

And Miz, it looks like Lopez is going to get that bullpen spot when it gets down to the 25 man roster.

David Wells had some pretty strong words about Bonds.

http://msn.foxsports.com/mlb/story/5393700

FORT MYERS, Fla. (AP) - David Wells gave up Barry Bonds' 701st home run. He doesn't want the Giants slugger to pass Babe Ruth's total of 714.


"No. Not really," the Boston Red Sox left-hander said Wednesday, one day after excerpts of a book were released alleging that Bonds used steroids and other performance-enhancing drugs.

Yeah Arroyo is one of those close to 30 year old pitchers with "potential" Seems be a lot of those types of pitchers around the MLB, when are they ever going to pan out? I liked him but if he didn't do all the "cool" shit on the side like having a band he wouldn't have last aslong as he did in Boston. For some reason people ignored his subpar stats, that usually doesn't happen when you play for the Red Sox haha

He actaully had a real good outing yesterday, his first of the spring. So he could still have a strong season, he was having an awful spring though. Surprised anybody even wanted him in a trade.

I'm not sold on Wily Mo at all. .303 career OBP. And his numbers away from Cincinnati are less than impressive. Just seems to me to be one of those guys who isn't going to hit in the AL. I wonder if they'll try to trade Nixon now.

And yeah Arroyo sucks. If your opening day lineup consists of Tony Womack and Scott Hatteberg, it is safe to assume you will occupy last place.

They won't trade Nixon. Willy Mo will start againest Lefties, and Nixon will be in the line up for righties.

Also, Willy Mo might be able to spell Manny every now and then. Pena will be better then past players that platooned with Nixon (Gabe Kapler, Kevin Millar) I don't think Pena will be anymore than the 4th outfielder. I'd be surprised to see Nixon traded.

Jay Payton was a good option for the 4th outfielder last season though but he went crazy becuase he didn't get any playing time. Now that I think about it, they have Adam Stern too, so I guess trading Nixon COULD be in the works, but I don't know. I think they'll keep both Trot and Wily Mo

Yeah, I can't see Pena starting. He sucks. Never bought into the Willy Mo/Kearns hype.

Dustan Mohr is having a great spring. And they just signed Juan Gon. I think Esptein would prefer a Mohr/Pena platoon to Nixon.

I don't know, if Nixon can stay heathly he is very good and I guess he has been improving on hitting againest lefties. Health might be the thing though, he hasn't really stayed healthy in the last few seasons.

I think the Red Sox still aren't done on the trade market. Right now their outfield consists of:

Manny Ramirez
Coco Crisp
Trot Nixon
Wily Mo Pena
Dustan Mohr
Willie Harris
Adam Stern
Juan Gonzalez
Gabe Kapler

Obviously some of these guys can play in the minors but all are of major league caliber, they're going to have to trade at least one or there are going to be alot of unhappy outfielders.

lol How is Trot Nixon a bad player? He's a pretty good hitter plus he always seems to be making great grabs here and there. I don't think he is an all star or anything, but he's definetly not a bad player.

I didn't even realize Kapler was on the team anymore lol, I haven't heard one thing about him the entire spring. I think that shows where he'll be at haha, plus Juan Gon was only signed to a minor league deal. I don't know what they are going to do with the rest. This Wily Mo/Bronson trade also opened the door for Papelbon to have a spot in the 11 man staff, if Bronson was still around Jon probably would have had to start off in TripleA.

I got this from another site but check this out..


David Oritz (at 25 years old):
303 ABs, .234 avg/ .324 obp/ .475 slg, 18 HR, 17 2B
Wily Mo Pena (23 years old):
311 ABs, .254 avg/ .304 obp/ .492 slg, 19 HR, 17 2B

Wishful thinking haha

And I just read up about Nixon, he is a free agent after this season so they will probably keep him, and platoon with Wily Mo and then hopefully Wily Mo will be able to take over full time by next season. My original thought that Wily Mo would start againest lefties seems to be correct, since he had an OPS of .881 againest left handed pitchers.

I didn't mean Nixon is a bad player, I just meant that I get tired of fans attitude of keeping guys who have been there forever even if they aren't effective anymore, and then get pissed when theyre traded/released.

Kapler is injured and probably won't be ready till the All-Star Break but he's a fan favorite and I'm sure he'll find away up to the majors. Juan Gon will start in the minors of course, but if he stays healthy and hits like the Juan Gon of old they will have no choice but to promote him. I just think that with their outfield depth Nixon is very expendable.

I don't see how this gets Papelbon a place in the pen; Foulke, Timlin, Seanez, Rikse, and Tavarez are guaranteed spots and they need a lefty so that would be DiNardo right?

Alfonso Soriano, asshole of the year.

"Soriano, who played most of March representing the Dominican Republic in the World Baseball Classic, was set to hit leadoff and play the outfield for the Nationals against the Dodgers on Monday night. But when the players took the field, only eight ran to their positions.

During the game, Bowden indicated that Soriano will be given a second chance to play the outfield on Wednesday afternoon against the Cardinals. If Soriano refuses to play the outfield that day, Bowden said the team most likely will put him on the disqualified list without pay."

I really hope they don't trade him to a team that will let him play second. He doesn't deserve to be playing major league baseball. This is ridiculous

I was reading in the paper and it said Papelbon was the 12th man out (before the Arroyo trade) but looking at that, that doesn't really make sense now. Maybe it ment if Wells was start off the year on the DL? DiNardo is the only leftie in the pen so they couldn't send him down.

-edit Just checked out the depthchart on RedSox.com and they have Papelbon listed as the 6th starter, so that is what they must have been talking about? What would have happened if they didn't trade Arroyo though?

If they didn't trade Arroyo I would assume they would go with the same rotation of Schilling/Beckett/Wakefield/Clement/Wells and bump Arroyo to the pen, but there's no one they could really send down so they would have to go with 12 pitchers and send down a bench guy. They could survive with 4 bench players.

I think either Clement or Wells will be traded before Opening Day but if not, you can never have too much pitching and Papelbon is a great guy to step in if a starter gets injured. He doesn't have anything left to prove in AAA but I think it's probably better for him to be a starter there than a 12th reliever and not get much action. He projects as a starter and relieving in the majors could slow his progress, I say if they don't trade Clement or Wells they let him start in AAA and call him up if any starter gets injured (Delcarmen and Hansen should be used for bullpen injuries) and he can open 2007 with a guaranteed rotation spot.

I'm not that upset about Arroyo. I liked the dude but not enough to get riled up over him being traded. I've always been big on Nix though.
