Guest JimH Posted July 14, 2005 Share Posted July 14, 2005 Steal for the BoSox IMO. We could have traded Timo or Willie for Bradford....uhh. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Not that simple. Bradford has a horribly bad back and there is doubt he can hold up and stay healthy ... big doubt. That's why he only fetched a guy who was designated for assignment.

CWSGuy406 Posted July 14, 2005 Share Posted July 14, 2005 QUOTE(SoxFan1 @ Jul 14, 2005 -> 12:32 AM) Steal for the BoSox IMO. We could have traded Timo or Willie for Bradford....uhh. Except that, you know, Payton plays exceptional OF defense and can actually hit a little bit... But, just keep rambling. BTW -- I'm pretty sure that one of Byrnes or Payton will be traded. Probably to New York. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redandwhite Posted July 14, 2005 Share Posted July 14, 2005 Jay Payton is in another league compared to Timo Perez. The sole reason for being designated for assignment was to get him off out of the clubhouse after his outburst at Terry Francona after being placed sixth in the line-up after being pinched hit, than first, leading him to believe that Francona didn't have trust in him at the top of the order. In turn, Payton was placed where he was to seperate consecutive lefties. He never was happy with his role, and being that its a contract year he's dieing for playing time. Shows you what money will do to a guy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
