southsider2k5 Posted July 31, 2014 Share Posted July 31, 2014 Pete Abraham @PeteAbe 9m #RedSox are still working on trading John Lackey. Source put it at 70 percent he would be dealt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Ultimate Champion Posted July 31, 2014 Share Posted July 31, 2014 If he's making the min next year they can deal him in the offseason. No rush for Boston. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chw42 Posted July 31, 2014 Share Posted July 31, 2014 Red Sox are doing pretty great today. Cespdes, Craig, and Kelly for Lester, Lackey, and Gomes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreenSox Posted July 31, 2014 Share Posted July 31, 2014 Nice trade. Card dealt surplus; Boston may be able to turn one of those 2 around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
witesoxfan Posted July 31, 2014 Share Posted July 31, 2014 Craig is 30, is injury prone, and has been terrible this year, while Joe Kelly is really nothing more than a so-so arm. It's better than nothing, I guess, but I'm not too crazy about that return for Boston. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flavum Posted July 31, 2014 Share Posted July 31, 2014 Red Sox had three starting pitchers that made 20+ starts this season--Peavy, Lester, and Lackey. They gone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Donny Lucy's Avocado Farm Posted July 31, 2014 Share Posted July 31, 2014 the real question is... can Joe Kelly grow a beard? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caulfield12 Posted July 31, 2014 Share Posted July 31, 2014 I got ripped to shreds when I mentioned Craig for the White Sox. So he's either the All-Star from last year or the washed-up 30 year old this year? Which one? Good luck buying pitching on the open market, Boston. Your new #1 is Clay Buchholz, and not the 2013 version. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreenSox Posted July 31, 2014 Share Posted July 31, 2014 I love the Bosox trades. Oh, I don't know if they were that great, but they are old school: veteran for veteran. Like it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caulfield12 Posted July 31, 2014 Share Posted July 31, 2014 QUOTE (GreenSox @ Jul 31, 2014 -> 11:39 AM) I love the Bosox trades. Oh, I don't know if they were that great, but they are old school: veteran for veteran. Like it. It worked coming into 2013, at least in free agency. That said, they might be stuck with a bad contract with Craig for two years (how many NL players improve in the AL East?), and find themselves fighting with 12-15 other teams to outbid them all for Cespedes and Lester at their highest possible value/s. And they now have the worst pitching staff in all of baseball, in terms of starters. Buchholz, Workman, Rubby, Ranaudo, Webster... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donny Lucy's Avocado Farm Posted August 12, 2014 Share Posted August 12, 2014 Lackey and Masterson have both been pitching like absolute horses*** for the Cardinals. Maybe they want Danks to complete the trifecta??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yea, but this is Allen Craig. Last year it was the same thing and the Cardinals didn't have him for the last two months of the year and barely in the playoffs, and a dh in the World Series because he couldn't play the field. The guy can hit. The guy cannot stay healthy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
