Arroyo and/or Harang anyone?

[REDSEER]

With Volquez out for most of, if not all of, next year, I would be reluctant to trade one of our innings eaters unless we are sure that we have an in-house option or can sign a cheaper option.

With that said, maybe we can work an Arroyo to the Red Sox coming off of Smoltz's shaky start last night...

Actually, I agree with this statement. Unless Jocketty can definitely parlay the savings into another, better starter, I don't want to trade Harang or Arroyo. His recent history of turning the Griffey/Dunn savings into Tavares is not very encouraging.

The Sox can afford to take Arroyo's contract and may be ready to make a panic trade.

Smoltz can't get LHHs out and gives up too many HRs, they traded Masterson, who can't get LHHs out and gives up too many HRs, ...

I wasn't necessarily saying that it would be a good trade for the Red Sox, just that they might be panicking a bit after the 8-run 4th the Yanks put up last night and be ready to make a trade, whether it's a good one or not.

Oh, they might panic, but more likely in a different direction considering the circumstantial similarities, though.

Pavano's numbers are not very good, but he doesn't arrive come to the Twins with a hefty contract. I wonder who the player to be named is. They were either in a hurry to complete the deal or the player is currently on the active roster.

"American Idle."

Ouch. By your own teammates, no less. That's rough.

I believe its much easier to find a new pitching coach to make Bronson and Aaron pitch more effective on a consistent basis than it is to replace Bronson and Aaron.
