The word on ESPN radio is the Nats are offering Soriano to the Red Soxs for pitching help.

I heard that rumor too. Word is is that the Sox turned it down because they want nothing to do with Soriano. I don't blame them, Soriano is a great hitter but I don't want him anywhere near Fenway, he doesn't walk enough, strikes out too much, isn't very clutch and stinks at defense.

I can understand that, but put his bat in the lineup with Manny and Ortiz?:eek:

Hey I agree, he's a great hitter however we all remember the last time he was in meaningful games.... he played them from the bench because he couldn't hit a ball even if it were on a tee.

As good as Soriano is, he isn't worth the prospects the Sox would have to give up for him.

Hey great welcome to the thread. First of all the Red Sox never traded Damon. Damon was a free agent and took the Yankees offer. It was Damon's choice to go to the Yankees. Good for Damon's father though to speak, as if anyone cares.

As for the worst move in franchise history.... I guess we'll see, however I'm sure this guy named Ruth might disagree with that.
 
Ray you here Wells won't even be reporting.. I think we may be holding out for something decent. Lawerence getting hurt should help our cause..

Wells reported on time last week. He hasn't done much outside of throwing long-toss because the team wants to be careful in how they proceed with him.

I thought I heard they sent him home until a trade happens.. Maybe I am wrong..

Oh, you could be correct on that. I honestly have no idea what they were planning to do with him throughout spring training. Sending him home seems strange, one would figure the Red Sox would want to prove to potential suitors that he was actually healthy. But again, I haven't heard any news about Wells since he reported last week.

Very interesting if this is true and I don't doubt you.

I haven't heard that, however my father has been down in Ft. Myers and was at the Red Sox Spring Training site last Tuesday and Wednesday and didn't see Wells there at all. Everyone else was there but not Wells. So maybe you could be right.
 
Found an article that said he hasn't been taking part in workouts and didn't pose for the team picture.. He has been long-throwing at the indoor facility which is why nobody has seen him..

Yeah I found the same article. My dad did tell me he was talking with some team officials and they told him that Wells has been really be distant with the guys on the team, he's always by himself. That's bad chemistry. I'm sure Wells will be moved soon.
 
Foulke's been getting injections into his knees and will continue to do so for the next 2 weeks. I don't like the sound of that. At least the Sox have Timlin, Hansen and Papelbon to fall back on in case Foulke can't be depended upon this season. I think if Foulke isn't ready to go that the Sox should throw Timlin or Papelbon in the closer role (depending on whether or not Wells/Clement/Arroyo) gets traded. I'd really like to see Papelbon in the rotation though. The closer's job will be Hansens in 2007 if not sooner.

A guy that's on the trading block that I would LOVE to get back on the Sox is Scott Williamson. Word out of Chicago is that the Cubs have no use for him and are looking to dump him. Granted Williamson is always hurt, but when he's healthy he's a very good pitcher (if he has control). I'd love to see the Sox try and get him. I bet they could get him pretty cheap too.
 
Manny is back in camp yesterday, after hearing many tell us true Sox fans he was getting moved this offseason.. Alas he is to good and makes to much for him to go anywhere really, and so Manny will be where he belongs right next to big Papi..
