Came home for lunch today and watched the trade deadline special on ESPNEWS. Gammons and Phillips both commented about the positive psychological effect of getting a player at the deadline, even if said player isn't really needed. I'm still not a fan of Griffey playing CF, but I imagine that everybody on the Sox (outside of maybe Paulie) is excited about their GM adding a future-HOF bat to their lineup. Last year was a good example of how poor morale can sink a talented team.

 

Maybe Griffey can come in and throw a tupperware party for the team.

This is crunch time. Final terms have to be decided in about a half hour, so this when it gets tense. Usually, 4-5 deals get announced RIGHT at the deadline.

How fitting. Storms rolling into Chicago right now. Looks ugly out there.

It was a dead a few hours ago. Once it fell apart, Pitt looked elsewhere. Nice to see Tampa reap the benefits of the Red Sox failure to execute.

 

I think the Red Sox are better off for not having traded Manny. I thought it was a mistake from the get go. I reference 2004 and 2008 to make my case.

I assume you meant 2007?

I'm going to instead go with the top 3 rounds (you don't know who signs and whether you'll get 1st round picks or 2nd round picks depending on the order of the Type A/Type B FA's).

 

Sox own:

1st

2nd

3rd

OC - 2 picks

Crede - 1 pick

Uribe - Potentially 1 pick

Griffey - Potentially 1 to 2 picks (higher probability on 1 and even that is an if).

 

This would give the Sox between 6 & 9 picks within the 1st three rounds depending on how things work out. This assumes at the very least Crede/OC going elsewhere.

Well, I'll add in one detail...I think with Richar moving, the odds of this team finding a way to hold on to either O.C., Uribe, or going out and signing a shortstop and thus losing one of those picks have gone up quite a bit.

 

Are people going to really be comfortable going in to next season with a starting infield of Fields, Alexei, Getz, and Konerko?

You know how it is with us old folks. We can remember 25 years ago but forget about yesterday.

Dude I'm 26 and I've been like that for a few years now. Heh. I can recall a conversation verbatim from high school but I can't remember why I went to the grocery store.
