That made me laugh. Good line. Isn't he a fourth round pick, though? Fourth round is pretty high. Could he be a sleeper? Kind of a guy who gets by in the bigs? A skinny LaMarr Hoyt?

Fourth round pick isn't too bad. That's a pretty high pick in baseball, ain't it? That was a well-written sentence, though, and I'm not being sarcastic. It had a flow to it and was kind of funny with the word flimsy in it. It was well packed criticism in a free flowing format.

I'll just be relieved if we don't trade him. That's all for now. Not to trade the stud.

Actually, he did pitch like you described him. Good call, sir.

Please do not trade Dayan Viciedo in the Dunn deal. Why go to all that trouble to find and sign him if you are going to give him up as he shows some incredible life in his bat? Kill this thread if you wish. I just think it needs its own area for Dayan backers to vent. Please, please, keep Dayan Viciedo, Sox management.

It is going to be one of my worst days as a Sox fan if we trade Viciedo or Beckham for that matter. Kenny has yet to make a move that has shattered my fandom, so I trust he won't deal either. But f***, Viciedo has to be a piece in the Dunn deal; he has to be. We have too much s*** to offer besides he or Beckham.

That's what I thought. I will keep buying BP hoping they clean the f***ing mess up correctly.

I've filled my car up with BP the last 2.5 years. If I change suddenly will it damage the car? Is Phillips 66 a good brand? Thanx. I really want to stop going there but don't want to freak my car out.

Nice one day rental. Excellent job by him.

These oil spills are a disgrace to humankind. Eventually we will destroy our own world. It is a matter of when. That is the question.

He does? Why would you say that? Evidence please. Also, what managers are great in game strategists? It seems to me most of them do the same things and most of their home team fans b**** about what they do? Who is a great in game strategist? Cox? LaRussa? And how many of their games have you studied?

We better not trade Viciedo. I really think he'd be a productive DH w/out even trading for one. The guy can hit. Problem is he's gonna make a lot of outs cause he'll never walk. I'll be sick if we deal him.

I wonder if KW even checks with Oz or Jerry before making trades or if it's all on him. Probably all on him.

You said it all when you wrote the word "idiot." There are many many at ballgames.

The lefthanded bat we are about to acquire is Scot Podsednik!! I didn't know how to make this in green, but bring back Scotty Pods. Or Dunn.

No condescension, just a post similar in length and format to Squert's. He's the starting catcher, so he plays almost all the games. That's the deal now and always IMO.

A lot of people on this board who look at numbers, study minor leaguers were all excited over Hudson a few weeks ago. I thought he looked pretty good on the mound as I wasn't expecting a rookie to dominate right away. Now we are saying maybe he just wasn't that good? Well he was our top prospect and all we could do with him was trade him for a salary dump?? Weird.

As much as this board mocks the NL, I'm surprised the trade hasn't been criticized more because of this fact. Judging from past comments about the NL, Jackson is going to give up nine runs a game.

Sitting on the bench where most backup catchers sit.

How do the Yankees have this power over teams? Why couldn't we get salary dump Jackson w/out giving up our No. 1 pitching prospect? f***.

How can anybody argue with bearSox's post. That to me was the concise post of the decade.

Exactly!!! You just said it all. Jackson was a salary dump and we got fleeced for the salary dump. God I hate we can't WIN trades any more, significantly win them.

No comment on Jenks. My stance on him is pretty well known, basically regarding his saves.

Let's go get Berkman. Now!! (Assuming we have no interest in Derrick Lee, whom I covet).

Pena definitely has stunk. It would have been interesting to see him get the start tonight, however.
