I think this Crede issue might even get tougher now.

Let's just say it is July 15th and the Sox are 4 games or less out? Do we just sit on Crede almost knowing he is going away?

I would start looking at Milwaukee and St Louis prospects as I think they would be the most likely to trade for a 3B.

What?

If we're in it we keep him and take the risk of losing him at the end of the year. Jeez. It's so simple.

Trying for a division is worth risking losing him for nothing.

The Sox have been in first place for the majority of April.

Not in attendance, and that's what is really important!

Given Crede's hot start, apparent return to form in the field, and contract situation, he is highly tradeable; his market value is arguably as high as it was after the 2005 season. If I were Kenny (and god knows I wake up every day wishing that I was), I would still be listening to offers, but one would really have to knock my socks off for it to be consummated. I agree with Beardown, it's worth losing him for nothing and stagnating the growth of Josh Fields if it means post-season play.

If it is get away day, the team is not coming back to that teams field and the rain delays the game at anytime for more than 1 hour, managers can agree to have a Home Run derby to determine the outcome of the game.

10 batters chosen, each batter gets 3 pitches from BP coach of that team

Most homeruns wins!

I know what he said. I said if they "are in it" then you don't trade him. 4 games out means they are in it.

Unless you are ready to run the white flag up the pole again

Not on Kenny Williams watch. That was Ron Sheuler.

Bottom line, no home town discount, Crede is gone. Crede is looking for 13-15 mil and if he goes on the FA market, he could get 16-17 with a good year, Sox will never pay that.

Who was the chairman ?

Right. But think about it. From 2000 to now Kenny has never done a white flag trade. How many times did he trade for Alomar and Everett. We were 4 or 5 games out in 2004 and Kenny bought at the deadline. He's never given up since he's been here.

Well maybe they can trade for another 220 hitter and hype to the point of wanting to puke.

Durham for Berry/Barry

If Kenny didn't have a firesale last year, he certainly won't this year either.
