Red Sox/Indians Trade
Javier:
How is Coco Crisp a below average CF? If that's the case then the Yankees have an even worse CF lol
Real American:
This trade is bullshit. I am tired of teams like Cleveland and Oakland developing tons of young talent only to have to trade them once they get good in order to save money. The Red Sox already stole Manny Ramirez from us, now they got Coco too. Fuck them, they can't develop their own players so they have to raid small market teams.
I don't care what the experts say about Andy Marte, you don't trade young, proven players for unproven players.

Your Indians biggest weakness on the field is the 3B position. Having Marte will solve this problem for years to come. CF is already locked with Grady Sizemore who is a way better player than Crisp. The deal hasnt gone through anyway because of Mota's physical. Your team will also be getting Jason Michaels to cover LF.
Dubois/Michaels-Sizemore-Blake/Michaels OF is solid. Come on man, your GM is setting up good players up and down the lineup. Marte without a doubt will be better than aaron fucking boone. Just because prospects are "unproven" doesnt mean they are worthless.
Real American:
The Indians won 90 plus games last year. If we were in the National league we would have made playoffs. This team is ready to win NOW. But now we traded Coco for a guy (Marte) who is not ready for the major leagues. They said he will start the year in Triple A. Now I guess we can pretty much forget about competiting this year.
Baseball needs a salary cap because I am sick of this shit.....
Javier:
lol losing Crisp is not that big of a hit. Coco Crispt is not a key part for the Indians to win this year, by adding Michaels you will hardly notice Plus your team will be having improving years in a shitload of positions, especially in 2006 MVP Candidate Hafner. Marte will definately be called up after he'll tear it up in AAA and especiall when boone starts hurting your lineup.
