A Long over due Redsox update.

Its been while since i've update my blog, to those of you waiting in baited breath i apologize.

Let's get right to it shall we?

Bronson Arroyo and cash was traded a few days ago for Willy Mo Pena. First i want to personally thanks BA for everything he has done, he was one of the "25" and everytime one of them leaves it is definatly a sad moment in RSN. I also feel bad they way he went out, ignoring his agent and signing a below market value contract to stay with the sox. I want to point out that this may have been the biggest reason he was traded. It was a cost effective move for the Reds. Im sure the Redsox would have loved to off load Clements/Wells contract for WMP, but the reds are not that dumb. They needed SP and they needed it cheap. BA fit that need. The Redsox i believe just recieved and offer they could not refuse. it is a perfect trade for the RS, Nixon is a FA at the end of this year and we need a 4th OF who can platoon with trot and his fragile body.

On a quick sidenote, Trot Nixon better bring it this year, his FA year, because he may not even have a starting job this entire year, and that would indefinatly cost im millions on his next contract.

a good papragraph from the Boston Globe
core that 5-6-3 Alex González made another otherworldly play, on a Luis Ordaz grounder to Mike Lowell's left that caromed off his former Florida teammate's glove. González picked the ball out of the air with his bare hand and threw on a hop across the diamond to cut down a stunned Ordaz. ''Lowell, every time he makes a play, says, 'Told ya,' " said manager Terry Francona. ''He came in and said, 'I haven't seen that one.' " . . . Lowell, 3 for 21 (.143) at one point this spring, collected two more hits, a double and single, and is 5 for his last 11. He's up to .250 (8 for 32) . . . The Sox went deep four times yesterday: David Ortiz in the fourth inning, Mark Loretta and Manny Ramírez in the fifth, and Alex Cora in the seventh. Ortiz's homer, a towering blast to right, came in his spring debut for Boston; he'd spent the previous 2 1/2 weeks with the Dominican team playing in the World Baseball Classic. Ortiz also doubled yesterday . . . Classic scene in the fourth inning: Ortiz homered, and Ramírez, who was on deck, held up the game for about a minute while looking for his helmet. ''He couldn't find it," Francona said. ''He went back and forth three times. It was right there.

Until next time, my little papi's
