Heard the Sox acquired Adam LaRoche.
Any idea who the Pirates are getting in return?
Yankees and Red Sox need to sign a player development contract with the Pirates imo...

Sounds like Lowell might be done. Youk will prolly move over to third and Laroche will play first. Lowell had been getting slow and he doesnt have the powerthat he used to.

Lowell looked like he might've re-injured his hip when he slid into home the other day.

Yea I gotta trust Theo tho. Hes made good decisions in the past. And apparently we have a knack for making mediocre playerssuperstars, so we'll see. But right now even a couple hits here and there is as good if not better than what Lowell has been producing the last month orso.

LaRoche in the second half = Good $$$$$
Career .300 hitter with a .900 OPS after the all-star break...
And Fenway plays pretty well for hitters, so I'd ignore that small sample almost entirely.

I suppose that rules out a possible Vic to Boston move.

Didn't you also say Jason Bay won't cut it in Boston Craftsy?
LaRoche and Duncan are some great small moves for the Sawx for this 2nd half.

my argument with Bay was based on the fact that I didn't think he could be a reliable power hitter the Bosox wanted him to be... i was wrong,he's been surprisingly good and apparently is flourishing in such an atmosphere. But if you had watched him as closely as I did in Pittsburgh, youwouldn't have thought he had it in him. He was looking like a guy on his way out of the league towards the end. Apparently he just wanted to be tradedOriginally Posted by Mez 0ne

Laroche on the other hand - can't hit.

Well here's hoping you are 2 for 2 on dumb predictions.

I liked Red Sox fans before they finally won a championship a few years back... most of you guys are just yankees fans in different colors now.Originally Posted by AllenIversonFan01

I feel you, LaRoche is
....but knowing the Red Sox luck, he will flourish (especially the 2nd half of this season).
