We'll send you Arod for 4 young arms, Manny, and a promise that Ortiz retires.

Why would the Sox want another 3B?

Sportscenter's been floating rumors of a Ramirez for Tejada swap.

Looks really good. I am a bit surprised the Sox only had to give up Mirabelli. Especially after last season, where Doug was fairly mediocre. He definitely has starting potential though - a catcher with a career .750 OPS has quite a bit of value. It makes sense to trade him, because the Sox aren't getting much value from him and have a comparable player in Shoppach ready to step in.

Even if Loretta doesn't get any of his power back, he would be a huge improvement over last year's 2nd basemen.

Doesn't seem like Theo leaving has hurt the Sox F.O. that much.

good move. your stats put another way: we are trading a good backup for a good starter.

lets hope Shoppach is ready to back-up? Somehow I doubt it thought.

Why? He should be more than qualified to backup. Or are you saying his 0 for 15 in the majors nullifies his .860 OPS in AAA in >400 PA.

Red Sox have done themselves a world of good in the off-season so far.
