There will never be an effective vaccine. I'll never get one anyway.

This his the best trade by far. Most of the others are indeterminate at this point.

It wouldn't surprise me if every other MLB GM gets together and decides that trading with Theo is a big mistake and should be avoided at all costs.

Is this some sort of bait I'm misunderstanding?

If you hate Laurence, then don't listen - don't comment. When he co-hosts the B&B show, take that day off ... listen to an old podcast of a Bernstein solo show and jerk off all day.

I rarely troll.

Cashner for Rizzo looks pretty even.

Cashner is greatly aided by Petco. His home/road split is no good.

Since the trade Cashner has made 43 starts in 3 years to the tune of a 15-19 record. A decent 3.08 era but in Petco

picks up random pitchers and they turn out great.

But when the Sox do that, its because they are cheap.

which is at least commensurate with Rizzo's production over that time...at best, this is a tie

you gonna compare hammels to paulino? Feldstein/arrieta to mikel cleto? no no no don't crap me now.

No, but its happened in the past.

Quintana and Travis Wood were essentially another team's junk that the Sox and Cubs took a chance on. Sox got some good out of Humber. It even goes as far back as Contreras, Gavin Floyd, Carlos Quinten. My point always is that this happens across MLB, its not exclusive to the Sox as much as some Cubs fans would like you to believe.

Nothing to really complain about with the trading record. The draft has been okay. It's his big time free agent signing record that has always been his downfall.

Maybe that is why he is trying to avoid paying big money in free agency --- he knows he will choke.

Its not like he's been terrible in free agency. There have been as many good moves as bad ones.

When you shell out big bucks, 50% isn't good enough.

Or Barry Zito for the Giants? Does a WS cure all?

Two of them does, and one certainly helps.
