Except that he'd have to be: a. really hurt b. willing to play along with the ruse I can't imagine a guy with his pride being willing to take a DL stint if he weren't really hurt. -- Matt

Can't trade them until June 15, according to the CBA. (at least that's what i think i heard the other day.) Penny would be traded before Smoltz. THey're not trading smoltz.

There is a zero percent chance that Smoltz will be traded before he gets to the majors and shows he can still pitch. And if he's successful, there's a zero percent chance he's used as a sweetener to take Papi off our hands. If Papi can't shake this, there's a chance that the Sox will eat his contract, but they're not going to pay another team for the privilege.

Remember Arroyo's hometown discount and subsequent trade. Now THAT was classless. As for Smoltz, who cares if he wanted to be a trade chit. As they told Crash Davis, "You get to come to the ballpark each day and get paid for doing it." On Tue, Jun 2, 2009 at 8:47 AM, Steve Ouellette <[email protected]> wrote: There's no way they're going to up and trade Smoltz before he throws a pitch for them, coming off of shoulder surgery. 1) because he doesn't have much value until he shows he can pitch and 2) it's a classless way of handling him -- he didn't agree to come to Boston as a trade chit.

Anyway, if the news has any baring Papi wants to stay put and would rather retire then be traded. On Tue, Jun 2, 2009 at 8:21 AM, Ray Salemi <[email protected]> wrote: > Why do you say that?
