BAD MOVE

Sox could just trade for Adrian Gonzalez with ellsbury and prospects then move Cameron to center and sign Jason bay for left? Anyone like it?

Who knows what the landscape holds for the sox after todays little surprises!

No, we arent gonna trade Jacoby.. We just signed John Lackey to a multi-year deal, which makes Clay Buchholz expendable.. According to sources, Jeb Hoyer (Padres GM and former Sox asst. GM) wants Clay and either Casey Kelley or Westmoreland.. I would put the trigger and add a B type minor leaguer, and get Adrian Gonzalez to cover first, moving Youk to 3rd.. Adrian is an extremely talented 1B offensively and defensively, exactly what the Red Sox are looking for.. Our rotation will not take a hit, as Clay was our 5th starter. We could take a runner at either Eric Bedard or Ben Sheets, and give them 1 year deals filled with incentives… Imagine a rotation of Lester, Beckett, Lackey, Dice-K, Bedard or Sheets, with wake as a long reliever or emergency 5th starter, we wouldn’t be touched. Add another bullpen arm like Darren Oliver and we have an extremely productive offseason without breaking the bank over an overpriced free agent like Holliday or Jay Bay, who saw a huge decline in numbers the 2nd half of the season. And mind you, it was a contract year, so his numbers should have been stellar… Our farm system will take a slight hit, but with prospects like either Casey Kelley or Ryan Westmoreland, Ryan Kalish, Josh Reddick, Jose Iglesias, and Stolmy Pimentel, and possibly ARDOLIS CHAPMAN!, our farm system still is tops in the league..

And Cameron hit 24 HR with 70 RBI.. That’s very formidable.. Granted he only hit .249, but Bay only hit .267

maybe when cameron, drew, and hermida either get hurt or flat out suck maybe we can find hard hittin mark whitten i mean he hit 4 HRs in 1 game too or we could sign john lackey to a 80 plus mllion dollar deal oh wait!!!!!

Cameron’s batting average should improve 8-12 points as he’s hitting in Fenway, and it can be expected that his BA will also increase because he will get pitched to more often with the players around him as compared to the Milwaukee Brewer’s bats.

Batting average increase>? LOL

Yessss I am laughing out loud. This guy strikes out once every three times up. He is also 36 yrs old….Can you say “Hammy”. Give me a break this guy is overated and overaged. 8 MILLION DOLLARS? He is a perfect fourth outfielder, BUT 8 MILLION DOLLARS? He is a perfect 7th-9th inning defensive replacement but 8 MILLIION DOLLARS? OMG take off your Redsox glasses will ya.

It is certainly better than pissing away money on Jason Bay, who’s defense was statistically figured out to be well below average. Mike Cameron will save plays this year, and is seen as one of the top defensive outfielders in the game. We’re not paying for his bat, we’re playing for his defense, I.E. Marco Scutaro… It’s clear Theo is focusing on defense, and if you try to argue that Cameron isn’t better defensively than Bay, you’re ignorant… People thought the Phillies over paid for Raul Ibanez last off season, and he had his best statistic season in his career… Matt Holliday would have been overpriced and I’m convinced he’s an NL only player, look at his numbers with Oakland, and Bay’s defense is questionable at best. Why over pay for a player when we can compensate defense and gain a bat at another position, first base with Adrian Gonzalez?

And how can you say Lackey is a bum? Look at his stats the last four seasons, they mirror Josh Beckett’s… Not to mention Beckett’s contract ends after the season so the Lackey signing gives us security if we can’t sign Beckett.. Also, look at Lackey against the Yankees the last 2 seasons, he’s 4-2 with a 3.38 ERA… He’s a gamer, he was the ace of the Angels pitching staff and he’s proven in the playoffs. Look what the Yankees did when they signed the top two pitchers in last years off season, they won a world series… It’s about time we stop waiting on our prospects and make a legitimate signing.

I agree with a lot of what Justin said. We have a great farm system. But, if it takes Clay and a couple of minor leagers to get Adrian Gonzalez. DO IT! The guy is only 27yrs old. We’re talking longterm here. Gonzalez would be a great answer to losing Texiera. Man I want to beat those guys. If Ortiz comes back he’ll have a new Manny next to him, Gonzalez. Get er done!
