I don't understand how this compares to the Lee/Pods deal at all. KW said that was a baseball move, but it really wasn't; it merely freed some payroll up and allowed the Sox to bring in 2-3 more good, cheap players into the mix.
That's just dumb to compare it to Lee/Pods, but maybe that's just me personally.
I agree with you. Maybe he meant by getting Quentin we don't have to spend money on two of's and thus have money freed for other holes? Overall though, it's nothing like the Lee-Pods trade.
