Had that huge win for the team in Boston in September 2005. Always wondered what could have been had he remained in the organization.

The one thing I can think of is it would have helped the Sox not make the playoffs in 2008, since John Danks wouldn't have been on the team.

 

He's a good guy and all, but trading him turned out to be a wise move.

Man did I hate that trade, partly because I was such a big BMac fan.  It turned out to be one of KW's best moves.

I liked McCarthy a lot with the Sox.
But Danks was just as good and for 2008, a lot better.
Williams made several important trades after the 2007 Guillen and injury-driven debacle, especially for the Carlos Quentin.  Even Swisher 1 wasn't that bad; it was cowtowing to Guillen and giving him away in Swisher 2 that was the problem.
