He also hit about .290 vs Lefties so he start against them and Trot against righties.. I like the deal you are totally right about knowing what you have in Bronson and getting a young player with upside in Pena.. Great move Theo..:cooldude:

Nice job pulling up his lefties stats. I like the flexiblity with him too. He can play all 3 OF positions so if anyone needs a rest he'll fill in. Let's face it Nixon is going to get hurt at least once this year so I'm comfortable having Wily Mo step in and play 30 to 45 games instead of Adam Stern. Dustin Mohr and even Gabe Kapler.

Man this years team is gonna be young and exciting.. We got a lot younger in the offseason while the Yanks get older and the Jays get overpaid.. We may not win the division this year, but should have a great shot at it and have set ourselves up better for future years.

I agree with everything you wrote. I can't wait to see the young guns like Lester, Pedroia and Hansen up at the show. The Sox future looks very promising. Hopefully everyone will live up to the hype.
 
Solid move here..

I would have liked to see the team move Wells or Clement ahead of Arroyo, but Willy Mo was a nice pickup adding depth to our exceptional outfield. Mohr definitely becomes expendable now and I see the Front Office using him as trade bait.

Now the question becomes, do you carry 5 OF'ers into opening day? Adam Stern has looked outstanding this spring and he's making it hard for the Sox to leave him off the opening day roster.

I think you'd have to keep Stern on the roster. He only needs to be on the roster for I believe 16 to 19 days. That's nothing. I think the Sox SHOULD keep Stern on the roster just to protect him. After the 19 days are up the Sox could and should send him down to the minors so he can play everyday.

I agree I think Clement or Wells should have been traded however I doubt they had much value at this point in time. Maybe by June or July it could be different.
 
Stern will stay on the roster till his rule 5 is done, like Ray said its not that many more days..

Apparently the Sox are very high on Stern. I doubt they would want to lose him for only 2 weeks of keeping the bench warm.

Arroyo and cash for Pena

Too bad I liked Arroyo. Although I think Pena could do well in Boston. He's a young basher. So much for that handshake deal the Sox had with Arroyo.

I heard the Phillies are looking at Dustin Mohr as a 4th OFer. I wonder who would could get for him. Probably not much.

My Phillies are going to be sick....too bad we got rid of Lofton. We got Burrell, Abreu, and Rowand (from the White Sox in CF).

Any truth to the Mohr to the Phillies rumors Roman? Who would you be willing to give up for him, do the Phillies have any good minor league players besides Gavin Floyd (which obviously won't trade for Mohr).

Hey maybe the Sox would consider shipping Nixon, Mohr and Clement off to Philly for Abreu like the rumored deal back in November?
 
Some interesting/weird news, not that it really matters anyway:

per rotoworld.com:

"Even though his contract with the Red Sox was reported final, Juan Gonzalez is reportedly set to sign a minor league deal with the Athletics.
There wasn't going to be any room for Gonzalez in Boston following the Wily Mo Pena addition. He was expected to open the season in Triple-A even before the trade. Things aren't going to be much better for him in Oakland, at least not while Frank Thomas is healthy. Though he'll probably start off at Oakland's Triple-A Sacramento affiliate, his return to the majors may come with yet another team."

Oh well, probably better off without Juan in Triple A complaining about everything before hurting himself.
 
You guys know where we can find spring training stats.. Hansen everytime I look has been doing great.. I don't think he has even given up a run yet.. If Foulke can just limp through half the season, so Hansen can rest, I wouldn't mind seeing what this kid can do the rest of the year.. I heard his slider is looking quick sick now..

Ummm maybe try looking at box scores on the spring training games, on ESPN.com or redsox.com. That's a good question though.

I saw Hansen's numbers last night and they were pretty impressive. 0 runs in 7 innigns with only 2 hits allowed. The kid is going to be a stud. I think we'll be seeing Hansen up before the year is done, I'm not counting on Foulke being good or making it the whole year.
 
Hansen 7.2 innings, 4H, 2BB, 5K's pretty good..

I am pretty sure Hansen and Declarmen will be getting major innings at the end of the season..

Yeah I'd have to agree with you there. Throw Lester's name in there as he can be the Papelbon of 2006.

Also if you haven't heard this name yet remember it: Edgar Martinez (not the former DH of the Seattle Mariners). He could turn into something special and possibly be a wildcard/K-Rod type in 2006. He's built like a bull and can really throw hard.
