Sorearms, baseball question

Arroyo was utter trash IMO, def not cut out to pitch in Boston. Three games into the seaon and people are already claiming this trade a bad one?

Also Bill Mueller, that guy is good, but with his knee conditions worsening over the past two seasons it concerned them. Couple that with the ONLY way Florida would deal us Beckett is if we took Lowell who will make 9 mil per season this year and next. So by your logic we'd sign Bill Mueller and pay Lowell 18 million to sit on the bench? Not good money managing IMO. (I know Lowell stinks though).

Im pissed at the franchise and fans for letting someone as standup and talented as Bill Mueller go.

WTF is wrong with REd Sox fans getting caught up in that stupid statistical moneyball shit. OPS, OBP, bla h blah balh.

Bill Meuller shouldnt have been let go.

And has anybody else noticed how good Shea Hillenbrand is now?

I liked Mueller but Kevin Youklis is younger, cheaper, and will get on base just as much.

Same thing with Damon/Crisp. Comparable players, but Crisp is younger, paid much less, and will be better in 4 years when Damon is old.
