Why is everyone so high on Westmoreland? He messed up the Vietnam war.

LT Col. Podovsky…really, your comment lacks good taste, or any taste for that matter, this is a baseball column..not a venue to make light of the fact that some 50,000 youngsters died in an armed conflict, get a grip…..and some compassion…idiot…

Don’t be a faggit APatriot

Calm down, APatriot.

Hey APatriot, I was in the Vietnam war. Take a chill pill.

i was there too,and westmoreland was a real ahole.

Well, I wasn’t really there but I saw a show on him.

we should trade him for Albert Pujols. Yea, I like that.

Westmoreland is a up coming star and this surgery will not affect his goal for the pro’s. I went to every Spinner’s game last season and got to know Ryan a little. He will bounce off from this delay and be starting up hot again soon. As long as he has his mountain dew before a game he will do just fine.

I know he was going to take a full scholarship from Vanderbilt, in lieu of the draft, but agreed to go pro only with the Sox(because he’s from RI). Does anyone know if there is language in his contract that says he cannot be traded(or can nix a deal),or was it a “hand shake deal” that he won’t? Trading Arroyo was kind of weak after he accepted a discounted deal. Trading Ryan againt his will would be a disgrace!
BTW, he has potential for .300, 25hr, 50sb.

I doubt Theo and company will trade Westmoreland–or Kelley, or Iglesias–though anything can happen, of course. I get the feeling Mr. Epstein still feels a little torked that the organization traded Hanley Ramirez while he was preoccupied getting in and out of his gorilla outfit . He’s proud of the talent the organization has piled up over recent drafts and has shown great reluctance to trade blue-chip prospects before they have shown their minor- or major-league limitations. Jed Hoyer knows exactly what the Sox have in their farm system, so–the fact that no deal for Adrian Gonzales has been made to date suggests, to this uninformed observer, that Theo has balked at the names on Jed’s wish list, and Ryan Westmoreland is very probably one of those names. It seems like, given where Jacoby Ellsbury is in contract status, Theo might be more willing to give him up than to give up the kids, but for that same reason, Jed is probably not willing to take that option either.

the only person i think the sox should of gone after was granderson did you know that the tigers tried to make a deal buckholz for granderson and the sox said no other than that all these stars are coming and and pujols is going on free agent list the yanks cant get him he says he doesnt want to go back on the cardinals the sox could though pay for him

“I am the most ruthless, brutal champion ever. There is no one who can match me. I want your heart. I want to eat your children.”

Westmorelamd is a future star and i doubt the trade for gonzalez will happen. The Padres can not afford to lose him no matter if you get ellsbury and bucholz. Plus if this deal those happen it wont be until the trade dead line in july. We all just have to wait and see what happens.

Gold diggers are the type of scum, if they were in a fight with a bear I wouldn’t help them, I’d pour honey on them

Subsequently, after spending many hours on the internet at last We’ve uncovered an individual that definitely does know what they are discussing many thanks a great deal wonderful post.

Spot on with this write-up, I really suppose this website needs way more consideration. I’ll most likely be once more to learn much more, thanks for that info.
