Still tough seeing a guy go that many of us watched in Pawtucket (well, at least read about). Good luck #5 (unless wee see you in October)...
Maybe the trade will in fact round out the talent on this club. The Sox are leading most meaningful offense stats, including runs scored, but are only playing .500 ball since May. Sure, we will lose some offense but things just defensively got better.
No we have someone making better throws to 1st, better scoops at 1st, soon sandwiching Reese, gonna be a good defensive outfield. And of course, Mr Clutch now becomes out full time (nearly) D.H. ....
Hope it goes well... Now to tell son his baseball player is gone day (well, really just his favorite #5) after his goldfish went belly up
