Trading Deadline Lands Boston Some Super Stars…
Trot Nixon is hurt. Everyone from Coco Crisp and Mike Lowell, to Wily Mo Pena and Mark Loretta have been rumored to be on the trading block for the Sox who need a quality starting pitcher to add to a very beaten starting rotation that still finds itself in a half game lead in the AL East. The Sox most likely won’t land Barry Zito from the Athletics, as I’m sure Billy Beane wants a fair share of young prospects that the Sox SHOULDN’T trade away — mabye if they want an Abe Alvarez 
The Sox have been rumoured to be trying to squeeze Clemens out of Houston, but I doubt that’s a high possibility, especially with only a couple of hours left until the deadline. It would be a nice add for only a half a season and still complete the fairy-tale ending to a Hall of Fame career and get Clemens a World Series ring with the Sox.
At any rate, I really hope the front office doesn’t slip and trade somoene that’s been valuable to the team this year and who the Sox have locked up for a couple of years. In short, I think trading Crisp now is very premature. Lowell has struggled lately with the bat, but have you been watching his glove and doubles total? Nixon is hurt and most likely won’t be going anywhere; could be an interesting off-season for Trot. How are we going to get a starting pitcher?
… anyone’s guess.
