since no one follows soccer, I will take torres..
spain starting 5 midfielders and no natural striker is absurd..
torres had one helluva game vs ireland..
and dont give me mickey mouse nonsense that it was easy cause ireland is weak..
the goals torres scored, where ones fabregas can only dream of..
with torres, spain gets a different type of weapon..
its in torres instinct to play half an inch on side..
fabregas is a great player, but he does not have this instinct..

As for youk.. Boy does it hurt, when you trade a great player for a freakin utility guy..
ha ha ouch!
youk is worth a
t least a dempster..
BUT
Youk was begining to get grumpy, just like nomar..
and when you get grumpy, its time to leave..
we already have a younger and "prettier" 3rd baseman..
Dumping youk, its not showfriends, its showBUSINESS..
we will be fine, we dont need youk anymore..
but
I still think the red sox GM had his head up his butt..
a freakin urility guy? Who will probably be cutting our grass in 6 months?
ha ha
its pretty awful!
but not as bad as torres being a benchwarmer..


You're putting me in a tough spot here, but I'll say trading Youk for nothing was the bigger mistake.

Youk had no trade value. You can't expect to get top players for a washed up bench warmer.

Trading a player you neither want nor need for the best compensation you can get isn't a mistake.

If Middlebrooks breaks down...it will have been a retroactive mistake...

Yeah, but timing wise the soc cer move makes less sense. I mean in boston you have a .500 record, a new mgr. and no offense output. Spain was undefeated i believe (barring ties) and they sit one of the two guys on the team who would win them e euro champ.? (Silva)
