July 31, 200817 yr Hmm so could it have been the Sox were going to send some one to the Dodgers, but then they got Manny instead?
July 31, 200817 yr Wow. All these years- when I think of the Sawx, I think of Manny. B****ed in an attempt to get out of Boston before 2004, it never happened. After he won that title and another last year, I thought he'd be a Sawck for life. Good luck to Manny in LA. D-Backs- THEY GONE!
July 31, 200817 yr QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Jul 31, 2008 -> 03:38 PM) And the Dodgers didn't give up Kemp correct? Correct
July 31, 200817 yr QUOTE (YASNY @ Jul 31, 2008 -> 12:38 PM) So the Pirates traded Nady, Marte and Bay for a slew of minor leaguers. And they'll trade these guys in 3 years for more more kids. Typical of the Pirates. Well, they at least got a decent haul to build from. If they were to also draft well as well as developing these guys, then they could easily put themselves in a Rays like position in 3 years or so. But those are all big "If"s. Pittsburgh's drafts always seem to completely implode, don't they?
July 31, 200817 yr Who else can't wait to watch Manny in LF in Dodger Stadium. Oh man it's going to be hilarious

Pittsburgh's drafts always seem to completely implode, don't they? Yes. 1999 - Took Bobby Bradley 8th, and Zito went 9th, Sheets went 10th 2000 - Sean Burnett, injuries killed his buzz 2001 - Vanbenshotten, and these names where still around after he was selected Youkilis, Bonderman, Wright, Crosby, Ryan Howard. 2002 - #1 pick was Bullington, ahead of Upton, Fielder, Francis, Swisher, Blanton, Kazmir, Francoeur, Hamels, Cain 2003 - Maholm screw the rest, they suck
July 31, 200817 yr QUOTE (RME JICO @ Jul 31, 2008 -> 03:37 PM) I thought the Pirates would get more. They clearly won this deal, what else could they have gotten? Meanwhile the Dodgers continue to draw huhs? from the baseball community.

July 31, 200817 yr QUOTE (JDsDirtySox @ Jul 31, 2008 -> 03:29 PM) The LaRoche Brothers together... thats pretty cool. Still can't believe the Pirates didn't get more. Looks like the Bucs think Alvarez is going to play 1B

July 31, 200817 yr Pittsburgh sure got a lot of prospects over the past few days. It's good to see Huntington actually making some moves though, unlike the previous GM Dave Littlefield, who just well, did nothing at all.
July 31, 200817 yr The Red Sox paying his whole salary and the Dodgers giving nothign up is huge for them. The Dodgers have sixty million doller defenseless outfield in Manny, Pierre and Jones.
July 31, 200817 yr The Dodgers will be getting draft picks next season for Manny 4:05pm: Peter Abraham says Manny's team options were removed and he has agreed to decline arbitration.
July 31, 200817 yr QUOTE (Jenks Heat @ Jul 31, 2008 -> 12:55 PM) The Dodgers have sixty million doller defenseless outfield in Manny, Pierre and Jones. I can't imagine Kemp won't be seeing regular time still even after this, for both defense and the fact that he's hitting better than either of the money guys.
