So... what are the Red Sox going to do with Kotchman?

[Coach]

It's Edwin Encarnacion and Yonder Alonso (#1 prospect) for Rolen

They apparently like him off the bench (?)

Nick Johnson to the Marlins. Assholes, right in time for us.

[Clapp]

Talk of Halladay to the Angels.

That is laughable. I'm not sure what Alonso's been up to in the minors but that dude was the most impressive college hitter I've seen in a long time.

Rot him on the bench or send him down to AAA if he has options left. He's a solid defensive 1b though, so he might get some time there when Youkilis plays some 3rd.

I agree that this sucks.

Seems to be a lot of man-love on Heath Bell huh?

Joe Saunders/Halladay deal?

Ben Badler from BA:

I hate America's GM more than any other talking head out there. I've never seen him agree with a fellow analyst, which I don't understand since he sits next to Gammons so often. Was he actually a decent GM while employed w/the Mets?
