today's random Red Sox off-season coping strategy quote: December 10, 2007

this really drives home the magnitude of a Santana acquisition in Boston, no? (but i am still not willing to give up Ellsbury for it.)

As an NL exec told Jayson Stark, a rotation that consisted of Beckett, Dice-K, and Santana, to say nothing of Schilling and Clay “Oh No-No You Don’t” Buchholz, “might just be the best team in the history of the frigging universe.” It would also complicate Tito’s job. Seriously: which of these guys do you sit down to tell he’s going to be a fifth starter?

"Best team in the history of the frigging universe".

I like how that sounds.

As long as it's not at the cost of Ellsbury!

And I like how that sounds too.

I see the rumors starting up again, and that they revolve around Ellsbury. I had hoped they would prefer Lester, although I like him we have two other top pitching prospects, were we don't have any other CF prospects. And it would mean Coco's bat in our lineup again. The Sports Guy on ESPN brought up a good point, that if we trade Jacoby, as soon as Coco starts to suck again at the plate he is going to be booed a lot, by fans wishing that we still had Ellsbury. That could get ugly. I'm hoping we are just keeping the price high so that the Yanks can't get him. Santana would look fine in Mets blue and orange.
