Trade: Wily Mo to Red Sox

Per Lance's blog ...

Quote:
The Cincinnati Reds today acquired RHP Bronson Arroyo and cash from the Boston Red Sox in exchange for OF Wily Mo Pena.
Arroyo, 29, went 14-10 with a 4.51 ERA in 35 games (32 starts) for the Red Sox last season. He established career highs in wins (14), starts (32) and innings pitched (205.1) while producing a team-high 20 quality starts.
Arroyo has appeared in the postseason in each of the last three seasons, including as a member of the 2004 World Champion Boston Red Sox.
Originally selected by the Pirates in the third round of the June 1995 draft, Arroyo owns a career record of 33-33 with a 4.59 ERA in 126 games (90 starts) with Pittsburgh (2000-02) and Boston (2003-05). http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/player...?playerId=4416

Pena, 24, batted .248 with 51 HR and 134 RBI in 302 games with the Reds from 2002-05.

Re: Trade: Wily Mo to Red Sox

Holy Smokes. R U kidding me?

I'm not sure how I feel about that.

At least Arroyo is relatively young and he should be coming into his prime within the next couple of years.

Re: Trade: Wily Mo to Red Sox

With having only Claussen and Harang to depend on from what weve seen during spring training this is a great deal......

Re: Trade: Wily Mo to Red Sox

Bronson Arroyo and cash for WMP.... This maybe puts Arroyo as our #2 behind Harang and marginally above Claussen?

Time to support our new starting 1B, Scott Hatteberg...

Re: Trade: Wily Mo to Red Sox

Does this move in any way put Dunn back to the outfield and Hatteberg at first? I'm not sure how much I like this either, Pena is full of potential, but how long do the Reds wait for that? Plus, they do need pitching. I don't think Arroyo is a number one pitcher but he can help.

Re: Trade: Wily Mo to Red Sox

I know pitching is needed, but I don't think I like this. I wonder if Wily Mo had been in spring training the whole time if this would have happend?

I'm curious what SOSH's take is on the trade.

Re: Trade: Wily Mo to Red Sox

I hate being a Reds fan.

The offense just got worse and the pitching did not improve much at all.

Horrible organization.

Re: Trade: Wily Mo to Red Sox

Couldn't get a prospect or two for a young slugger in addition to the 29 year old 4.50 ERA pitcher?

Geesh, not sure about that trade, but I suppose desperate times call for desperate measures.

Re: Trade: Wily Mo to Red Sox

Why dont any of you like this? Arroyo is a groundball pitcher and has been pretty decent over the past 2 seasons. WE NEED PITCHING not to mention he is relatively cheap.
