Eckisten would be a very nice addition for most teams. Solid, little player. Didn't work out with the Blue Jays. They didn't even need him anyway before they signed him.

Red Sox have Lowri they dont need to pick this guy up

I agree with the guy above me. The BoSox dont need Eckstein.One team that could use him is none other than......St Louis(former team)

Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz...............

its a saturday , what do u expect , its always slow on a saturday

the dodgers need him the most because they need some offense in their lineup besides Manny and Kent.the red sox and angels don't need him at all.

Johnny MAc is way better than eckstein why sign him in the first place?

It's not really a "snag" when other teams want him. That's called "competition." Here's hoping JP actually makes a good trade.... but I won't hold my breath.

The red sox need pitching, not infield positions they already have promise in.

^^^ What up with the name pal he hasnt even played three years left to be going to abritration.. the Sox have him for a while.

But the Sox need bullpen and maybe a starter but a starter is a bit of a reach since they have good depth

Bravesfan - No we don't need him. His range is gone completely. Our defense (and ERA) suffered considerably because of his rapidly shrinking range last year. Let the other teams looking for insurance spend prospects on him.

Yeah....and how does Eckstein, and his career OPS+ of 89 help there? Or anywhere for that matter? Eckstein's best season, of his entire career, offensively, was 2002 when he had an OPS+ of 101. Meaning that in his career year, he was 1% better than the average player offensively. He's terrible.

Eckstien is a great late season addition for a contender. If I were the Rays, I would be interested in him.

I hate that. The Angels would be a good fit for Eck.

Eck is a solid pro and a proven post-season performer. He could help a contender down the stretch and in the clubhouse.

CF2 is right...his range killed us in STL last year. I'm not sure he was ever a fit in Toronto, but he could help a team down the stretch. Long term, he probably needs to move to 2B if he wants to play every day somewhere.

it's too bad that everybody seems to be blocking the Rays from getting anybody. You wanna talk about collusion? The teams like the Red Sox and Yuckeees can't stand the competition!!!

There's some speculation that the Dbacks are the other team, actually.

Awe..the Dbacks got him....it would have been a nice homecoming....but stick with Brandon Woods and give him the chance to shine.
