This would be a bad time to give up on Garland, even if he did want to waive that no-trade clause. He's coming off of an All-Star year and it's not even June yet.

 

The Sox would be better off dealing Fields for a lesser player than Shields than one of our starters.

No Stoneman made the right move there as far as I'm concerned.

 

Figgins and Shields for the money they make, are more valuable than Manny IMHO, even though he's putting up good numbers again for the Red Sox.

 

Well, the argument made was you make two holes to fill one. Figgins and Shields are the two names mentioned when Stoneman's phone rings, and Chone Figgins' value to that team is pretty high. Be that as it may, they're not getting it done right now. Tough call.

 

And then they digressed to say that the White Sox won the World Series on Pitching when they had no offense and were weak up the middle, calling "Taguchi" an average second baseman. They must be getting their information from Mariotti.

 

If Jeter makes those plays Uribe did for the last two outs in Game 4, we'd still be watching them on ESPN.
