September 30, 200619 yr My preference would be Craword Iguchi (with a great no.2 hitter signed/acquired) Pierre Podsednik is "mysteriously" left out.
October 1, 200619 yr QUOTE(nitetrain8601 @ Sep 30, 2006 -> 11:53 PM) Podsednik or Pierre. I think I'm going to say Podsednik though. Don't listen to what you read in the press....there's a zero percent chance that Podsednik is brought back. My answer to this question would be either Juan Pierre or C. Crisp.

My answer to this question would be either Juan Pierre or C. Crisp. Okay, who does Boston have to replace Crisp in CF? No one. They're in the same position as us. Prospects mean nothing, they're trying to win now because that's the window. Juan Pierre may be here, but my money is that he'll be in CF because that's where Ozzie would use him. Podsednik will probably be back with this team IMO.
October 1, 200619 yr Dave Roberts as a 1 year stopgap. KW will try for Crawford and be unsuccessful as he's dealt to the Mets for a package including Milledge.

Podsednik will probably be back with this team IMO. Are you suggesting that Boston won't trade Crisp? There were practically trying to give him away at the trade deadline. There was a rumored deal of Crisp for Garcia(before his good month) and the Sox turned it down. Crisp is not a popular figure in Boston, and will almost certainly be available this offseason. A more pressing need for Boston is SP, so I think a Garcia(+cash) for Crisp and a decent pitching prospect would be fair and help both teams next year. I am a big fan of getting Crisp. If nothing else, he would bring an instant upgrade from a defensive and power standpoint compared to Pods, and if he can get back to his previous two seasons stats, a very solid leadoff hitter. I actually think that Crisp is one of the more realistic options being mentioned.

October 1, 200619 yr I've been thinking about this. We need to do what it takes to get Ichiro. Agree?
October 1, 200619 yr I like Dave Roberts, he is a speedy, scrappy player with post season experience.
October 2, 200619 yr QUOTE(Kalapse @ Sep 30, 2006 -> 11:16 PM) Actually it was Buehrle for Crisp Which is a huge difference in asking price.
October 2, 200619 yr Rafael Furcal. Acquired in a deal for one of our current SP's, an offensive prospect or two like Fields or Sweeney, and the Sox get a few mil back in cash consideration.
