Varitek out 4-6 weeks - trade Javy to the Sox

[blakesta]

well...sometimes you have to look above and beyond...look at his track record at the ML level...he had a decent if not good year last year with the dodgers and was in the HR Derby....

If you were Korean you would have been in it that year as well.

Pena can't get through waivers.

Ok, the waiver process is as follows. A team puts a player on waivers, than all teams in the same league gets a shot at him, from worst to first to claim them. If no one claims them, than the process goes to the other league, worst to first.

So, if the Red Sox would put Willy Mo Pena on waivers, teams in the AL have first crack at him, and in worst to first order.

All the Orioles would need is for Cleveland, Tampa Bay and Kansas City to pass on him.

And i think that is unlikely.

Will Javy clear waivers? Doesnt every single team with a lesser record then Boston get a shot to block that?

Only teams from the AL...

Again...it doesn't matter because the Sox will not trade Pena. Who is going to play RF for the Sox?

Yea, they were reportedly looking to deal him but that was before Nixon went on the DL.

Unlikely they want Kapler out there everyday.

[LADANK]

There you go...The break we needed.

You gotta think the Red Sox would want Javy right now.

This is quite funny:rolleyes:

So, your saying the Sox are happy to have Doug Mirabelli go out their everygame for 4-6 weeks while Varitek recovers?

Mirabelli as a Red Sox - 188/253/350/603

Javy for Hee-Seop is the perfect deal IMO... why not give Choi a try out at 1b for the last two months?

I like this a lot.

I would be happy to get JIM TRABER OR SAM HORN for J.LOPEZ!!!! I KID, I KID. To me it would not matter if we go someone from rookie ball for the :SuN015: baby!!!!!! He knew what his role was going to be in Spring Training. So there should be really no complaints from him. He should have made more of a fit then or produced more so HE would have been attractive to other teams at the trade dead line when he was in the line up.

I think that's more than unlikely, I think that's virtually impossible! No one would pass up Wily Mo!

Plus, there's no way the Sox are trading Pena for Javy.

[Nuclear Dish]

Just a word on the PTBNL idea. It isn't likely to work. In most cases, the PTBNL has either already been named, just not released to the public (and therefore not in the new team's organization), or the new team is choosing from a list of players who have already been stipulated.

It would seem to me that if the PTBNL is going to be a major leaguer, either that guiy ould have to have cleared waivers to be included (the league would know, even if the public does not), OR perhaps that player cannot be included on such a list specifically because of the idea of skirting the waiver rules.

[TonySoprano]

Not sure that is true...What if we say, ok take him..What are they going to do with him?

As I said last night, push comes to shove, they take him and DFA Fasano. This becomes a moot point if the Yankees go into 1st place.

[CrimsonTribe]

The Sox added C Ken Huckaby to the 40-man today, to make room they DFAed Hee Soop Choi (who was stashed at Pawtucket).

Javy Lopez for Hee Soop Choi?

Great Idea. Choi may suck against lefties, but he'd be a good part of a platoon. Better than Javy at least.
