Re: For Dissection....2008 Red Sox Roster........
[ QUOTE ]
That is actually a reasonable package of prospects for Santana. [/ QUOTE ] This would be a huge deal for the Twins, much better than I thought they'd get. So long as the Red Sox re-sign Santana, it would have to be considered a win for them as well, even though they're giving up more long term value. Question about Crisp. If a player is traded in the middle of a long term contract, he can opt out in to free agency at the end of that season. Is there a service time requirement for this to go into affect? I can't imagine the Twins would do this deal if Crisp were going to hit the market after 2008, although Lowrie, Lester, Masterson, and one year of Crisp, and a draft pick or two is still a pretty good haul. |

[/ QUOTE ] if they do this, they're probably the best team in baseball for the next 3 years. so yes they give up long term value, but the short and medium term value is huge. they don't need both Coco and Jacoby, and Lowrie projects more as a 2b anyways, where he's blocked for a loong time by Pedroia. so the immediate and medium MLB affect is losing Lester (who would be our #5 mb next year) and Masterson (who knows) for Johan. [ QUOTE ] although Lowrie, Lester, Masterson, and one year of Crisp, and a draft pick or two is still a pretty good haul. [/ QUOTE ] the Twins would get picks on top of the players they get? I was under the impression that picks were given only when they lost a FA |
