Oscar goes to..The Padres for RP Cla Meredith

[Lucky Jim]

Here is where Sickels had him ranked in the BoSox system in 2005.

Classics from the comments:

not a good system I am of the opinion that Pedroia is their number 1 prospect. He's really performed well, although he did come straight from a major college program. He reminds me a lot of Marcus Giles, honestly. I like Moss, too. But that's it.

Hanley Ramirez is hands down the most overrated prospect in baseball. He has no power, and he doesn't walk. I just don't understand why he gets some much hype. Well, I do (because the white haired redsox homer from ESPN pimps him in nearly every article), but I don't. He's got utility infielder written all over him. If he's lucky.

Papelbon had better numbers at A-ball (as a 23 year old), than he did at college. Huge red flag.

He's from Richmond, VA and he went to VCU. I like him already

Represent.

Seriously, anyone upset with this deal is overrating Oscar Salazar.

A lot of Pads fans aren't happy with the trade. They seem to think they could've gotten more for Meredith.

I think it's downright hysterical that you're getting petty about me getting petty about a strange name for a guy.

I think you were pretty classless too...

My guy said this guy is a bit of a redneck, but is a decent pick up. I like it. Im going to miss Salazar, but he is going to shine in SD.

What's that supposed to mean?

Sorry to see Oscar go, but I like the deal. Welcome to Baltimore Cla.

Means he is an Oriole:laughlol:. Can't wait to see how he handles our 7th inning stretch.

Well, that's good. After they cut Walker, the token redneck spot has been wide open.

What should this guys running to the mound from the bullpen music be?

[Roll Tide]

Bradford has pitched 4.1 innings this season, he makes 3.5 million. Would you want a middle reliever who was out till the all-star break on your team at 3.5 mil?

I think AM did pretty good just to get out from under that contract, if he actually got money back from Tampa in addition, then even better.

AM had no idea that Bradford was injured when traded ...Who knows he may not have been injured if he stayed. When he was dealt he was a healthly & productive relief pitcher.

Whatever it is, it can't be as terrible as Nick's at-bat music.

Some ridiculously cliched sounding country song. I suppose someone else might enjoy it, but I was speaking in terms of Meredith being a "red neck".
