I have always liked this guy and have been mentioning that the Sox should get him ever since I realized that Singleton had a fluke rookie year in CF in 1999. When the Colon to Boston rumors started mid-season this year, I said that the Sox should take nothing less then Nixon and Sanchez. Lost in the great numbers that the Boston offense has produced is the fact that Nixon was 4th in the AL in OPS. Besides the numbers I love the way that he plays the game. He would be a great addition to this team. The only problem is that there is no way that Boston trades this guy now. Oh well.

I've been backing Nixon to the Sox for the past two years or so too. Him and Ponson are two guys that I have wanted the Sox to get for quite some time.

I brought up Trot Nixon in the "Trade Loaiza" thread. It was one of my first posts here. I would love to bring him in, he is a stud. Never heard of any problems with him.

I really like Nixon. He is great at the plate and plays a solid right field. Has a pretty good arm and seems to be a fan favorite. He makes $4 mil this year in a one year deal I believe. I dunno if he will be a FA or if he has signed a contract since this site I have was updated. Anways, I like him a lot too.

He'll want a raise and we can't afford him unless Maggs gets traded and one of Colon and Paulie ain't comin back.

Epstein is not going to let Nixon walk after 2004. He's a high OBP guy, and Epstein is Billy Beane, Jr.

Except Epstein's got money to burn while Beane does not. I think Beane wants that GM job in Seattle.

Beane to LA is what I keep hearing.
