also, trot's contract is up at the end of the yr, and its a forgone conclusion that the sox wont re-sign him
so willy mo pena can be the full time rf next yr, or at least battle brandon moss or david murphy for the position

he k's a lot, and doesnt have a good obp
but hes young
and has huge upside

this is a great trade
arroyo was at a logjam at starting pitching for us, and someone had to go
we still have six starters now, which gives us one guy in case of injury
plus, lester could come up before the yr is over

overall, i just love this trade
it gives us five young of's
(four very young)
two being cf's
three corner ofs
coco crisp
jacoby ellsbury
willy mo pena
david murphy
brandon moss

But can Mr. Pena play WR??

Threads like this crack me up. All the jumping up and down, shaking fists, shouting till you're red in the face...all the and and ...about how much you "don't care"! I do believe there's a faction of the board that loves hating the Red Sox just as much as they love loving the Patriots. No problem, knock yourselves out. (But you'll have to drop the sanctimony about staying "on topic" until the day when cheerleaders in bathrooms are no longer the top threads around here!)

The problem is there's about 45 threads that have been posted to today, they go halfway down the second page (for me, anyway). Stupid threads like this get in the way and push Patriots' related ones to the second page that some people may then miss.

That's why the two boards are separated so people who don't want to read about the Red Sox don't have to. I shouldn't have to decide whether or not I'm going to click on a link or not. Put it on the Red Sox message board.

I can't believe how tight-assed people get about this stuff. It's a sports message board, not a Papal bull.

The Red Sox are much too important to be limited to just one small section of this message board. Its springtime g_ddamn it! Besides the Pats have lost all of their good players.

Was there another incident of cheerleaders doing bad in the bathroom? Hope that I didn't miss it.

Sorry, it's a Patriots message board. Unless I missed the part when we changed to generalsportstalk.com.
