I'd say odds are he is in the deal. aminahyaquin: Alou is a 37 year old 7 time MVP with a .347 lifetime batting average and a world of hustle. he can golden glove field in his sleep. tGG: Alou is actually 42, has never won an MVP, has a .303 lifetime batting average, and is mediocre at best in the field. joshv02: But, other than that, you're wrong.

Granted Martinez is a very good talent but this team's pitching is struggling outside of Beckett/Lester. Twitter: @Jonathan_Singer/@Soxprospects

Per theo's MO there are a lot of moving parts and they will explore every option to make it work. If it didn't work with Clay a few days ago, I hardly doubt it's Clay today. They disagree with the content, and rather than address it, they simply decide the content reflects a bias, and they attack that. -- Joe Sheehan

What I tried to say was that I agree, but that you could possibly send Lowell to the DL and have Kottaras be the backup 3b if an only if you feel you need Kottaras next year. (also if LaRoche wasn't traded). Last Edited By: SoxSail 07/31/09 2:21 PM. Edited 1 time.
