July 2, 200322 yr Has there ever been a trade made by the Sox that everybody thought was great? There were even dissenting opinions on the Colon deal, IIRC.
July 2, 200322 yr We have to remember...there is an EXCELLENT chance that Alomar and Everett won't be around next year, so their long term "damage" to the clubhouse is minimal. I didn't want to lose Cotts, but no team is gonna give away a guy with switch-hitting power for someone like Blockhead Jimenez or Jon Rauch (who knows what his status is). I would rather have left Harris and Crash in CF, but since the move was made on good intentions for the team, I'm all for it.
July 2, 200322 yr the clubhouse isnt lookin to happy about everett... look at the post game show and see what i mean
July 2, 200322 yr the clubhouse isnt lookin to happy about everett... look at the post game show and see what i mean oh stop lol.
July 2, 200322 yr Don't get to see post-game coverage in South Carolina...sorry. Whats best for the team, is best for all.
July 2, 200322 yr oh stop lol. im not kidding.. and melton doesnt look to happy either.......he didnt have much to say..........

July 2, 200322 yr The guy had a hot April and a good start to May, then has died. He is nowhere near the defensive equivalent in CF that Alomar is a 2B. I just don't see him fitting in with this team.
July 2, 200322 yr Everett looks like he weighs 240. Jim, I didn't agree with you before, but on this one, I do. I was never a big fan of either Alomar or Everett, so I don't think there is any bias there. From the beginning, I thought that Alomar could help this team. I hated the idea of Everett from moment one.

THe guy can hit, has always hit, and will continue to hit. ONLY A MORON would use 90 at bats to try and prove a point.
July 2, 200322 yr Anytihng official on Everett. If its Cotts and Jimenez I don't like it, just Jimenez and two lesser guys (One probably Rauch the other probably a lower guy); Me guessing; then it isn't bad. If we give up the two of them, then I'll be dissapointed. LIke the Alomar deal a lot.

July 2, 200322 yr Thats not hitting to you? Thats not a good pickup for our lineup. uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh ooooooooooooooook lol.
July 2, 200322 yr I want to see him with a high obp and everything else. I am hopoing Everett pays off. This could be a huge move. If its just Jimenez then it works out just fine to me. The Sox are playing to win and I have no problem with that.

July 2, 200322 yr Thats not hitting to you? Thats not a good pickup for our lineup. uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh ooooooooooooooook lol. C'mon Bmr.... Do you REALLY think you can say he is a great hitter with those numbers?? He has had two good seasons and a good start to this one. That's it. The rest scream of a 4th outfielder.

The rest scream of a 4th outfielder. No? When did i say hes a great hitter? I said hes always hit? Im not a moron. This guy isnt a great hitter. Hes a decent left handed bat that is going to help our lineup.
July 2, 200322 yr The question is, will Everett be appreciably better than Rowand/Harris in CF, taking into account defense and what the Sox gave up to get him? If he has a monster 2nd half and is a key player in the Sox winning, then I will consider relenting. But I think the Sox were primed for that, without him. THAT is my problem with the trade. How much better will he actually make the Sox than what they would have been without him and how does that compare with what they gave up. If Cotts, Honel, or Wing are not involved, then I may be able to stomach it more. But I can't see dealing a guy with top of the rotation ability for someone I don't think will make a huge difference.

What they gave up is very important, but comparing rowand and harris favorably to Everett, is crazy. Its not even close.

Cotts, Wing, Honel and a few others can't be involved along with Jimenez. I'm happy if Jimenez is the key guy cause this really fills a whole and whose not to say if these moves pay off that it doesn't mean that the Sox don't reup on these guys. This were huge freaking moves. In regards to defense, I'm thinking we'll see Harris and Rowand still get plenty of action as well as Daubach. I'm thinking Daubach will play a lot of DH and left field while Carlos will also dh a lot more with Rowand or Harris playing some left or Everett doing it. My next guess is we'll see the Sox make a move for a reliever with Glover as one of the guys used as bait.
July 2, 200322 yr Rex, sorry for getting so wound up about the deal. You have the right to your opinion. Im just really excited. Sorry again.
