From the getgo, I thought that the Red Sox only involvement in the Johan Santana talks was to up the price the Yankees were going to have to pay for me. Now it appears that Boston is set to deal a package of young studs to Minnesota that includes cancer survivor John Lester, and possibly young gun Jacoby Ellsbury. Those guys are great, but if you can deal kids to get possibly the best pitcher in the game, you do it. If this goes through, think of the rotation in Bean Town: Johan, Beckett, Dice-K, Schilling, Wakefield…with Clay Buckholtz, Kyle Snyder, Manny Delcarmen, and Craig Hansen all waiting for an opportunity to show what they’ve got. That is some SERIOUS talent…even the young guys that will sit in Pawtucket and Portland this year are good enough to form a rotation for the likes of the Kansas City Royals or the Tampa Bay (Devil) Rays. Also, for the record, since October 10th, the Red Sox, Celtics, BC Eagles, and Patriots have lost a COMBINED total of 5 games. The Sox win the WS, then go out and improve their team with the best pitcher in baseball. The Celtics are running wild through the Eastern Conference. BC could have a Heisman Trophy winner (already won Unitas award) and are probably going to walk all over Michigan State in the Champs Sports Bowl. Hell even the Bruins are in 2nd place in their division at 14-9, and it looks like they have a real chance to make the playoffs for the first time in 5 years. God its a good time to be a Boston sports fan. How long can this last????? (knock on wood)
