Lackey traded to the Cardinals

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.

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...

Yeah, but they knew he was injured before making the trade...they don't care about this year....they are hoping they can get him healthy for next year...the same kind of timing the Sox should be looking at.

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.

We'll see...it obviously would have depended on the price.
