this thread is just as funny as half the threads in the cubs forum discussing pipedream trade rumors.

If the Sox make this happen, they have a shot at the division. The problem is whether or not what they have to give up will be worth it.

They've been missing a solid offensive player at 3B for years now. They get that back, they're a pretty solid team. Add some pitching maybe next year and they have a good shot at something big.

No fucking way. I don't want anyone in our division to get him except the Sox. Why would you want to make the teams in our division better?

And this is about two things. a) getting rid of fucking Morel; b) adding OBP to the line up.

You don't think De Aza, Youk, Dunn, PK, AJ, Rios would be a formidable line up? I'd put that up against most team's in MLB. And if Viciedo keeps hitting...?

Youk's OBP from 2011 to 2004: 359,402,400,383,379,379,387,361

I agree with this one.. It's not to say it's not possible even that it might be what the Sox need..

Just seems a tad unfeasible.. What are ya gonna give Boston back?

Im not sure if you or x factor follow baseball but here ya go:

wrong side of 30
injury plagued this season
horrible numbers this season
FA to be after this year

boston wont be fleecing any team.

Fact.

now maybe you should trot on back to the cubs forum and discuss how the cubs will go hard for josh hamilton.

Okay.. so where's the part where you're speculating on who you're giving them.. Seemed to have missed it..

And the Indians system is better. Not by much, but if they want to outbid you guys they can. The question is how much is Boston going to take and how much is everyone willing to give up.

low risk high reward.

and if you think boston fleeces a team for prospects you're high. if anything they will want a SP like floyd or bullpen help.

Honestly trading major league pieces is the only way that I see the Sox have better trade chips than the teams rumored to be interested in him. I am sure if you guys were willing to dangle some of the bullpen arms that would get the interest of the BoSox. Again the question is who gets desperate and offers what for him once he starts hitting again.
