Re: 2006 Atlanta Braves Discussion

I'll comment on the rumor since I was raised a Sox fan and Andruw happens to be my all-time favorite player. Had Lester NOT been apart of the deal, and we substituted a lesser arm like Bowden or Bucholz, I probably would have been on board. Andruw platooning center at Fenway might just be my biggest sports dream. But Boston simply couldn't afford to open up a spot in the rotation with 4 and 5 currently in major question. Lester has the chance to be a legit # 2, Hanson has end of the line stuff, and the Coco of last year is enough to believe he should be a very good player in Boston as he gets healthier. That said, aside from jumping out of my chair at work seeing Andruw's name on boston.com...it was way too much, especially since pitching was our number one goal heading into today's deadline. Maybe in the offseason when parts are interchangeable and the asking price is less...
