Yea but they aren't going to do this deal without us on the sidelines to gobble up Nomar, are they? Let's work on the deal to send nomar to the Dodgers. Or even better, screw Boston (I hate dealing with Gammons' love child) and send Maggs and Valentin to the Mariners for Garcia, Winn (decent lead off hitter), that young middle infielder and one of their stud pitching prospects. Then sign Ponson and then deal Danny Wright for Williamson.

I don't know their contractual situations, but Percival makes nearly EIGHT million and Washburn nearly $4 million. Take Washburn and a lead off hitter if they have one - screw Percival

Yea, I got the right one. He comes to the AL and asked to pitch in the clutch and sports a 6.2 era in that effort. Sounds awfully Rick Whitesque to me Or Todd Ritchie - although his era was only 6.06

Didn't we just not sign a couple of our own bullpen pitchers with similar credentials for the want of 3 or so million? It's almost like KW is reading Peter Gammons articles as his scouting reports - the Nomar articles for the last 5 years (Gammons has told us how great he is) and the Williamson article when the redsox got him last fall

I guess so - but it's not like Williamson is anything special. 6.20 ERAs aren't that hard to find for free. In the meantime, we have a worse hitter than maggs for a year AND we blow an opportunity to get something for him by trading him for pitching and young players.

I agree with you Why do we have to give prospects back? KW, even in his good trades, always seems to overpay on paper. And I don't like the maggs for nomar part of the deal either, but that's another story.
