i am confused somewhat. marte is 'clearly ready' to be starter on a 105m payroll team, but the reteria trade was 'terrible' for the red sox?

He is clearly ready for his chance to start. There is always the possibility that Marte goes the route of Sean Burroughs, who was rated just as highly. After all, he is still just a prospect. That is a big reason that I think this deal is so terrible for the Red Sox. They trade away a sure fire starting shortstop for a prospect at a position that they have covered. Sure, it saves them $6M/yr, but they will have to spend more than that to replace the value of Renteria, especially in an obviously inflated market.

not to sound rude, but after reading your analysis of the soriano deal and this one its apparent you have no idea what you are talking about.
