MoLewisrocks said:Unless he develops tremendously this was a foolish deal. This is all about appeasing the fat man who will be gone soon anyway and covering for the great white hope in RF's long standing inadequacies.
Arroyo was a very valuable asset because of his consistency, durability and versatility. And unlike most MLB pitchers we know he signed a deal this winter at a home town discount to stay with the team who gave him his shot. Silly, silly naive boy.

“I said all along I'd rather pitch out of the pen here than start somewhere else. I still feel that way right now. But it's good knowing that I'll get 33-35 starts and not have to worry about being left out of the rotation. Still doesn't change the fact that I want to play in this uniform.â€
“Just, you know, going to Fenway Park 81 times a year, man. There's an excitement in that place I'm not going to get anywhere in the National League except maybe Wrigley. So that was the No. 1 thing. And then, just the group of guys we've had that a lot of 'em still here, pitching to Varitek. I felt like Boston was my second home and I hadn’t felt that way about any other place I've ever played. So, you know, stuff kind of being uprooted. You feel like you're being ripped out of your home. That's the way the game is.â€
“We were pretty close. Probably as close as you can get to a GM as a player, but you know, the game is business, man, that's what it's about. It doesn't matter how you feel personally about somebody. You just make the best move. It's like playing a chess match, man. Just pieces on the freaking board. That's what players are in the business. It doesn't matter how much they like you. They're not going to not make a move because of personal feelings.â€
Ive seen him play with my own eyes many a time .Hes a lousy fielder who strikes out once every three at bats .This is a guy who didnt even start for the reds on a regular basis and his batting average was 250 somthing last year .Bronson would have been a valuable arm out of the pen and hes proven he can pitch in big games unlike matt small balls clement .They should have waited to the trading deadline in july they would have got more for bronson or they would have had a better chance of dumping small balls clement to a team desperate for pitching .Boston Boxer said:please read what the scouting report says on him and then post. he is not fat and he can run.
I don't see how you can possibly say that. All they've traded from their system is Hanley and Anibal, and they netted them a top, young pitcher. This move only brings in more young talent.jeremiahct said:Just need to be careful about depleting the system. cause it kinda looks like we are heading down that path.
