Just wondering what will happen to Coco in 2008... Ellsbury will be in
the starting lineup for sure....
Its a dilemma.....He's a great outfielder who did not show up at the
plate...
I keep him for the short money he's making. If you look at the time
missed with Manny and Drew and obvious platoons for all 3, I can't see
a better 4th OF/defensive replacement/pinch runner option and he could
realistically grab 300-400 AB's anyway. I'd say unless he creates a
distaction over role it's a no brainer.
Yeah, if he doeasn't create too much of a hassle over becoming the
fourth
OF I'd love to see them keep him. There is also the chance that
Ellsbury,
as hot as he was this year, could see an extended slump. It'll be nice
to
have Coco around just in case.
fair
to a player in his prime, with his talent. They traded lesser players
(like
Dave Roberts) not just to keep them happy, but to show other players in
the
game, that they can expect to be treated fairly. The Twins will be in the
market as well. If they can leverage him, with other talent, to get
Santana, they must try. I'm not in the camp that would give up Buchholz
however. I hate to even say it, but Lester's stock just rose
considerably.
Wouldn't you at least consider Coco and Lester (perhaps a low prospect)
for
Santana? Might not even get it done...but it would certainly be worthy of
consideration.
I'd consider it...but man...trading a defensive stand-out and home
grown talent for a high-priced superstar like Santana....I dunno. Let
those other guys trade the farm for superstars while 'we' keep the
guys who got us here.
I tend to agree. The money involved to re-sign Santana will be obscene.
I'd rather gamble that Lester and Buchholz give more value between
them...for small money for years to come. I'm hearing many so-called (and
self anointed) experts saying you HAVE to make that trade...I don't agree.
I keep remembering the clamor for Dontrelle Willis. How did he look this
year? Also...pitchers do get hurt.
Which is exactly why I'd pull my hair out to see Lester and Bucholz
and Crisp go. Suddenly your line-up is Beckett, Dice-K, Snyder,
Tavarez (if they keep him) and Hansack?
This is assuming of course Wakefield and Schilling arn't back.
As I said, let the Yankees sell the farm for yet another superstar
that the great Red Sox front office will scout the hell out and figure
out how to get too.
