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

crow now.

Morel glove >>>> Youkie bat

If I get Youkie for free with cash yes

You severely underestimate the value of a glove

Hmm. Seems like I got the trade right

Not so much...

Morel bat > Youk bat? No way.

The amount of runs that Youk adds to the offense is probably greater than the amount of runs that Morel prevents with his glove.

You are speaking outside of the trade. I said good deal if they only give nothing away and get cash. And hey, they basically gave nothing away and got cash. Spot on. :smh:

And yet you were still against the trade. Whereas someone like me was for the trade all along and knew that the Red Sox wouldn't need much to get rid of him. I was on board all along and wanted him from the start.

No, when the trade happened I was ok with it.

Said I would be all along if that is what they gave up.

Many like you were ok when Matt Thorton was in on the deal. I wasn't and I was right it was too much and they kept their best reliever.

That's because I realized that Youk would be the addition the Sox needed in order to get into the playoffs and giving up Thornton wouldn't be too much for that kind of offensive addition.

It would have been too much. I'm not convinced yet that our issue of winning games has been the I at 3b

But the offense was certainly one of the biggest issues that the Sox had to improve and 3B was holding them down. youk the best option out there for that.

Sox production from 3rd base was atrocious before Youk arrived.

It was an issue but the pitching was way bigger for me

Ehh. Most of that is because of injury though. And there's not much you can do about that. If Danks, Humber, and Crain aren't injured, I think the pitching is good enough.
