Teams want too much from Red Sox
As Tuesday's trade deadline nears, the Red Sox don't appear too likely to make a major move. Teams are almost exclusively asking for Jacoby Ellsbury, Clay Buchholz or Jon Lester. And in the case of prized first baseman Mark Teixeira, Texas has asked for two of those three prospects. And sure, the Sox have feelers out on players such as Tampa Bay's Ty Wigginton and Oakland's Bobby Kielty, but even for those relatively small pieces of the puzzle, the price is too high.

Smart moves.
Those three kids are going to be integral members of the team as this season ends and for the years to come.

ELLEN abandoned her ALL CAPS craze, and usurped my rightful place to post the first insipid remark.
Still, I'm undaunted.
Nothing can alter the fact that I am tthe supreme sports guru in these environs, or the obvious fact that I am:

I think OKI and K-Dice was a good move for the Soxs - but the price paid was the wrong move...

They're not stupid, they know that Red Sox and Yankee rumors get the most attention.
Have you seen days on here when there isn't 1 rumor involving Red Sox or Yankees? It is DEAD.

I think the Red Sox could use a bat. LoL.
Yeah they are in first, but the pop ain't what it used to be. Good pitching, I think they need a little more offense.

Boston has the 5th rated offense in the league (and that's with 80 games of Manny, Ortiz, Drew, Lugo and Crisp all under-performing). Everyone but Drew has picked it up dramatically since the break.
Couple that with the 2nd best pitching in the league, and you have one hell of a balanced attack (the only team in the Top 5 in both, actually).

whoa whoa whoa... "I think OKI and K-Dice was a good move for the Soxs - but the price paid was the wrong move..."- J17
are you kidding me? Dice-K has won 12 games with a 3.70 ERA. thats not worth 8 million a year? they did pay the posting fee but that pays for itself with all of the advertising and everything you get from Japan. Okijima was a steal. he is the best setup man in the game and he is making 1.25 million a year. that is a HUGE steal.

"will win the division" and "could happen" are two ENTIRELY different sentiments, TyBk.
The latter one is undeniable, the former one is completely debatable.
