Yep. Poreda is the 63rd player in BA's top 100 and the Sox #2. Richard is the Sox #3, Russell #9, and I just read that Carter is a major sleeper.

Lopsided trades (numbers-wise) always seem to come back and bite the team in the ass that gave up the higher number. Throw in the fact that they are all pitchers and this deal has the makings to really turn out well for Padres/bad for the Sox.

BTW, when is Peavy supposed to be ready to play again? Also, if I were a Sox fan and he already turned down a trade before, it'd be hard for me to really accept him now.

You know they're going to soil themselves anyway, and they will still talk shit about how the Cubs couldn't get it done during the winter. I don't really give a shit anymore, but their fans will still be asses about it.
