I think it's very funny that NYY basically depletes their farm system for veterans who aren't proven successes in NY.

I mean, Boone will be a FA after this season. They give up their #1 pitching prospect for a guy who will be a FA after this season?

Just not smart, IMO. Look at Oakland and the success they are because of their farm system. You would think other teams would take lessons from the A's.

I'm pretty sure Boone is not a free agent after the season. I am not 100% positive, but I think that would have been mentioned throughout this trade talk.

I think he is eligible for arbitration

I'm f--------- fuming right now. We give up our best pitching prospect for Aaron Boone?! Come on, what the f---- is Steinbrenner thinking?! Not only do we give up Claussen, but money and another prospect?! Geez, we got screwed.
We need pitching, not hitting.

What's even worse is that this guy is a FA this off-season.

It's not like Aaron Boone is going to help us incredibly. The guy hasn't been in a big situation in his life. I'm going to worry now while I'm kicking myself around.

We definetely could have gotten more for Claussen than Boone.
And why are people suddenly think BoSox are going to the World Series or even beating the Yanks? When was the last time BoSox beat Yanks when it really mattered? Just because they got Jeff Suppan, they're favorites?

You win championships with PITCHING, not offense. Pitching, outside of Pedro and maybe Lowe, BoSox don't have.
Dumb move.

Jeff Suppan's the kind of guy that can put the Sox over the top. He's having a great year. I hate to see him leave Pittsburgh, but wish him and my 2nd favorite team, THE BOSTON RED SOX, the best of luck.

Boone is NOT a free agent. He's eligible for arbitration in the offseason. I like the move a lot. Boone is a quality player (and they got Gabe White too, which will help the pen) and good defensively. Ventura obviously didn't have much left, so it's an upgrade over him, and he's about 5 years younger too. Claussen MAY be good, but who knows? It's tough to tell with young pitchers.
