mighty_thor 115 Posted November 29, 2007 Latest rumor from a Minneapolis reporter with inside sources is the Red Sox could be close to getting Santana. For who? Ellsbury? NOPE! Bucholtz? NOPE! Try: Coco Crisp, Lester, Jed Lowrie and Justin Masterson. the last two are highly rated minor leaguers. http://www.twincities.com/walters Red Sox would have a window to negotiate a contract extension before going through with the deal.

edjr 7,137 Posted November 29, 2007 I'm not buying it. They are just trying to drive up what the yankees are willing to offer. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mighty_thor 115 Posted November 29, 2007 I'm not buying it. They are just trying to drive up what the yankees are willing to offer. Thats what I have been thinking. They would not even be that interested except the yankees are after him. If the Yankees have to give up Chamberlain then the Sox should be pretty happy. And if the Red Sox get ready to make this trade you gotta think the Yankees will offer up Chamberlain. Otherwise they will be looking up at the Red Sox for the next 5 years.

mighty_thor 115 Posted November 29, 2007 Yeah...he'll be great staring every SIXTH day in Boston. If Bucholtz makes the rotation then I bet wakefield will be in the bullpen. Beckett DiceK Schilling Bucholtz Lester or Santana Not bad even if they don't get Santana Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mighty_thor 115 Posted November 29, 2007 yeah, I'd much rather face Santana than Chamberlain They won't be happy that they face santana but happy they had to a least give up Chamberlain. Who would you rather see: Ian Kennedy or Chamberlain? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lowrie is someone we could use, but the rest???? I'd hold out if I was Minny. My hope: Santana to Bos for Lowrie, Ellisbury, buckholtz Santana to LAD for Kemp, Kershaw, LaRoche Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
