Bloody Sox Laundry - 9/8/09

No holidays for me to mix up today - YAY! Oh, wait, back to school now... Darn. Anyways I found some other news that makes me extremely happy:

@SoxProspects

SS Jed Lowrie activated from DL, C Dusty Brown recalled from Pawtucket. #RedSox active roster at 34.

YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! AND, I beat the reporters who get direct access to the locker room. Of course, I also said that he'd be on the playoff roster, which we won't know for a few more weeks - unless a certain pitcher can't go anymore.

Wakefield to be skipped - Boston Herald

Hey, umm, Jed, can you slip Wake some of those pills you take for nerve pain? Because I don't really want to have Byrd on the playoff roster - if Wake's the long reliever, he can still have an impact in low leverage innings by messing with the batters.

After the jump: another young prospect returns to help his team in its playoff run, and we just guaranteed ourselves another season of Commander Kick @$$.

@SoxProspects

Huge for Salem's playoff run: Federowicz behind the plate today for the first time in over a week. #RedSox

Josh Beckett's 2010 Option Vests - MLBTradeRumors.com

Alrighty. Why do I have a nagging feeling that Theo is going to dangle Beck as a way to get Felix or Gonzalez?

Hey, you've stopped using caps altogether.

Jed would literally have to lose both arms to be a worse player – don’t judge off of roughly 80 ABs when he wasn’t healthy – if you’re going to take anything from his numbers so far, look at last year’s numbers when he played like a league average SS with a broken wrist.

No he isn't.

To the 1st and 3rd assertions.

OK, I'll bite...

How do the Sox use Beckett to get King Felix? I guess I’d take the swap, but what’s the plan, Stan?

Trade him to get prospects that would be flipped.

Not likely

Beckett is one year from FA and makes more than either player. Why would San Diego or Seattle trade a younger, cheaper player, under control longer for Beckett?

I gotta go 'cause I'm probably definitely gonna nod out again.

They're not getting him.

A third team is – which gets us prospects to use in acquiring either of the big prizes. I hope it’s not the case, but these damn voices won’t go away.

That doesn't make sense

Exactly

Why would a team give up valuable prospects for an expensive pitcher who is a year from FA?

I gotta go 'cause I'm probably definitely gonna nod out again.

If they're a player away from contending?

Gotta agree with Drugs

gee there’s something I never thought I’d be saying

by Mister Snitch on Sep 8, 2009 6:57 PM EDT reply actions 0 recs

why trade beckett?

he’ll have a nice new deal way before spring training. why would you trade a guy who has proven to have cy young stuff & shows up in october. he’s roughly the same age as cc sab w/a much more attractive playoff resume. not to mention you know he can handle the scrutiny that comes w/being a red sox. wake up fellas
