Donnelly traded.

I love listening to the Duke or whatever the f*** his name is on the ESPN updates during the Dan Patrick show. The man is either ridiculously clueless or the most bias human being alive (in more than 1 way.)

 

When reporting this acquisition he rallied off Donnelly's stats over the past 5 years making this look like the BoSox are picking up an elite setupman. He failed to mention that the 36 year old Donnelly has been on the decline for the past 2.5 and was almost non-tendered by the Angels.

Tigers shoulda signed him, he and Rogers know all the pine tar tricks of the trade.

I'm disappointed he's no longer in the same division as Jose Guillen. I was sure there would be fireworks when SEA-LAA met this season. Damn.

Not just because of Donnelly but the RedSox are going to be a force with the additions that they have made.I know iam just stating the obvious but they worry me more than any other team for next year.

Red Sox bullpen will be very strong this year after this trade

Him and JC Romero- both good relievers but have both gotten caught doing something illegal

JC Romero didn't do anything 'illegal' that I know, Juan Rincon on the other hand was suspended for steroids.

Romero was absolutely god awful for the Angels last year and Donnelly is nothing more than a serviceable 6th inning guy. Both were once pretty good, but Donnelly isn't a solution, although he does provide good depth and I'd like him as my last guy in the pen (I don't know if thats what he'll be though). As far as Romero is concerned, he does have good stuff but wow was he brutal for the Angels.

 

Scioscia and the entire staff absolutely hated him and started going away from him because he had no idea how to pitch with anyone on. It was a shame since he has the ability to be a pretty damn nasty lefty reliever (and has been in the past as well).

Romero had a great first half for the twins in the 04 season than the 2nd half he was pretty brutal and he hasnt really been that good these past 2 seasons too.
