You are trading Miller and Mueller for Youk and Lowell who was a former Gold Glover and had a bad year. Interesting to see what next year brings. (Maybe a juice guy???) You lose Fatso but get Beckett in return plus you can likely get Roberts back along with maybe some good late game relief help. In the end it costs them an extra few million which isn't a bad thing.

I love Fatso for Roberts, but I'd like the money to bring Damon back as well. Play Papi at first more, DH Manny more, and you'll still get Roberts 500 at bats in LF CF RF when Trot gets hurt for a month or three, Damon needs the rest, etc.

That's why I wonder what the Sox scouts think about his woes ......
