In Response to Re: Rally killer Mcdonald : McDonald is easy to get rid of and will undoubtedly be designated for assignment (released) once the team has 25 healthy players who are better than him and that's not saying much.  He's on life support.  Cameron is in a different category in that he is still quite expensive and has absolutely no trade value.  Cutting him means eating yet another useless contract.  I am pretty sure that Henry and the Sox cartel are tired of paying players to play for other teams as they have many times in Epstein's tenure, but ya gotta do whatever it takes.  I can name over a half dozen Sox players plus off the top of my head who were paid to go away in recent years.  That's the most in baseball by the way for you kids at home.  As far as Scutaro goes, do not be surprised if the Sox trade for and audition a shortstop named Reyes who is currently on the New York Metropolitans assuming they are non contenders in late July.  Knowing the Mets, they would be happy to take guys like the oft injured Lowrie, Dubrount who has no real future with the Sox and either Reddick or Kalish in return for a 2 month rental.  If Reyes does not work out, the Sox will get a first round pick.  If he does and they end up signing him to a long term deal, they will finally stabilize Epstein's chronic "revolving door" position.   It's either a "win win" or a "lose lose" proposition for both clubs depending on what happens a few years down the road.

In Response to Re: Rally killer Mcdonald : These speculations are reasonable -- if the Mets will take the players you name for Reyes.  He'd cost a ton to sign as a FA, but money is coming off the books and Iglesias probably won't be ready in 2012 -- if ever. Part of the equation is what the Sox think of Navarro.

first off its a loss we lost the series i dont know if you watched the last two games or not but we lost two games by two runs and Mcdonald who is hitting .109 probably cost us the first one. while this time he was in that spot because of an injury to drew but him in the lineup is killing us

this is a white flag lineup - nothing more nothing less....sickening just pray that the Gods have a sense of humor and let these ohfer's hit for once in a blue moon - especially with risp

D-Mac needs some extra time in the cage with Dave Magadan. Cameron needs some Geritol. Beyond that, it's all good.

In Response to Re: No Reddick! DMAC 5th : Geo - While I certainly do not feel good trotting out this line-up, why is it white flag?  I mean, what are the options?  Reddick against Lee (I would prefer, just to see, but that ain't pretty either)?  There really are no other options available, unless they go for a wild position change for A-Gon.  I totally agree this line-up blows, but I don't see the White Flag aspect of it.  This is actually all Tito has to work with.
