Matt Collins會這麼交易: - 美國職棒

http://0rz.tw/lXAZk

1.這些人他不想動: Xander Bogaerts, Matt Barnes and Jackie Bradley Jr.

除非要搶下大包裹，不然不要動這組killing B's

還有Cody Ross最好也不要動，他是重要的右打巨砲。


2. Bryce Brentz, Lars Anderson, Junichi Tazawa + cash ←→ Ryan Dempster (Cubs)

紅襪要加強的一環就是先發，

而Matt Garza, Greinke 和 Hamels會吃超過一個Top prospects。

Brentz是主菜、Lars正值丟出去的時機、田澤天花板不高，但對小熊很有用


3. Kelly Shoppach and Ryan Sweeney ←→ Kyle McPherson (PIT)
或 Luis Heredia

因為Votto受傷，海盜有希望衝季後賽，會想要一些棒子

Sweeney的棒子和防守都不錯；Kelly Shoppach能當好用的替補捕手

Ryan Lavarnway可以上來當捕手

海盜還有Gerrit Cole and Jameson Taillon，丟McPherson不至於太傷

紅襪則拿到一位high-floor, low-ceiling的投手新秀

(即將18歲的Luis Heredia有更好的前景，如果海盜肯丟會更好)


4. Nick Punto and Matt Albers ←→ Reese Havens (NYM)

Albers趁高點賣出/對大都會很有幫助

Punto順便丟進去

Reese Havens是不錯的內野新秀(但有一些傷病史)

Fire Bobby Valentine

I'm typically not one to favor firing a manager mid-season, but this is one
of the rare times where it seems like the right move. One of the most
important jobs of the manager of the Boston Red Sox is to keep control of the
relentless media that comes with this town. Terry Francona was amazing at
this, deflecting almost all criticism towards his players to himself.
Valentine has done the opposite, throwing multiple players from his own team
under the bus. Due to my trades above, combined with many players returning
from injury, this is almost an entirely different team than the one that was
trotting onto the field in May and June. Because of this, it seems fit to
change the man at the helm and truly treat this final two-and-a-half month
stretch as a new season.

嚼嚼會把媒體的攻擊攬到自己身上，而BobbyV...

Well, there you have it. With the team sitting just on the outside of the
playoff picture, there is no way this team shouldn't got for it. Solidifying
their rotation with a guy like Ryan Dempster not only strengthens their
starting staff, but it also helps the bullpen by returning Morales to the
group. With the return of guys like Ellsbury, Crawford and Bailey, as well as
the looming Lavarnway, there are other excess pieces the Sox can turn into
prospects without hindering the current success of the team. The roster I
outlined above should be more than enough to push this team into the
postseason, where we all know anything can happen.

既不傷現有陣容，又加強先發(摩拉強化牛棚，還可當備用先發)以及農場深度

在傷兵歸隊及Lavarnway升級之下，可望將紅襪拉進季後賽~
