Dye switching Sox?

Posted by Insan

The Red Sox are apparently "very close" to grabbing Jermaine Dye for Wily Mo Pena and possibly Manny Delcarmen. I gotta be honest, I don't like this move. Dye is a RF and the Red Sox already have Drew. By grabbing Dye they basically admit that they've wasted money on Drew. I really don't think Dye can play CF and Manny is in LF so that wouldn't work either. Dye is too good to be benched as well so I don't know where they could put him. Also the Red Sox need Delcarmen to continue their bullpen success. What do people think of this?

I don't like this move at all. It'll hurt us. I'd rather have a Drew for Dye trade. At least we'll get a hit or a HR here and there. If this trade happens, we'll lose a really good relief pitcher, and I don't like that. Now, if it was Willy Mo for Dye, sure.

Actually no. Dye is getting older, and at least Willy Mo can make some progress. Dye is in his mid 30s and probably doesn't have much in his career.

Getting Dye for Wily Mo is a no brainer...throwing in Delcarmen is interesting...but is basically what is enticing the white sox here... I like the move...and perhaps something is wrong with Drew? Also, Dye is an FA at seasons end, i believe...

Drew can play center with Dye in right. It's a good move.

I agree that I wouldn't give up Delcarmen in that deal, but I think Dye would be a great player to have. They need some depth. Drew has the ability to play center, so they can rotate and get him at bats. They could also use an insurance bat in case someone goes down.

Abandoning Coco Crips so soon. He's been playing well, has had timely hitting, and is waaaay better than drew in the field...With Drew and Ramirez out there, Crisp is the only guy that can legit control them... I'm imagining Manny telling Drew to "shut the F*** up" right now...haha

As long as the Phillies don't trade Michael Bourne, I really don't care about what outfielders, or any team, gets traded.

Sorry buddy, Michael Bourn is an Otis Nixon or a Dave Roberts, not somebody you need to hold onto.

I disagree...bourn is a ML talent when given full playing time...he's played exceptionally well when given time... However, assuming Pat Burrell is unmovable/unbenchable (for a season), I'd prefer Bourn to get traded than Rowand to not be resigned...

My only solace last night was a Theriot homerun and seeing Bourn wipe out on the visitor's bullpen mound. *Don't interpret this as me enjoying that someone gets seriously hurt, that's not me.* He showed that he was a tough guy and stuck it out for another inning or so.
