To the Mets-Red Sox Trade Naysayers
-
This is just in response to the nay-sayers and scolders of my last post:
Mets Hurting;Red Sox-Mets Potential Trade
(http://www.majorleagueblogging.com/major-league-baseball/mets-hurtingred-sox-mets-potential-trade/comment-page-1/#comment-1100).
There were a few scolding comments, however, the idea was again brought up via MetsBlog.com (probably the top Mets Blog). Matthew Cerrone (author and site creator) had this to say:
…lastly, i’d have to think long and hard about what can be had for Jose Reyes, whose ultimate potential i am starting to lose faith in… last month, Boston talk-radio host Danny Picard suggested on his blog I’m Just Sayin, that, in the off season, the Red Sox should offer RHP Clay Buchholz, top prospect RHP Michael Bowden, OF Jacoby Ellsbury and SS Jed Lowrie to the Mets for reyes… this would be super tempting, to say the least…
Obviously, this is A LOT to give up for Reyes and that good of an offer won’t happen, but Buchholz, Bowden, and Lowrie for Reyes+… I don’t see how that couldn’t happen (before Reyes’ injury). Hopefully his injury isn’t catastrophic and if he’s back in time healthy by the deadline, I can see such a deal being at least talked about, and I want credit.
You're a MLB Pro..Thanks For Coming Back!

jose reyes and jacoby ellsbury are basically the exact same type of player, except ellsbury is a better defender at his position…i wouldnt even do the trade straight up for those two let alone all those other prospects…

I didn’t say/think it would be fair to include Ellsbury. The blog from Picard/I’m just sayin said to include a package of those 4. Two out of the 3 could do. I never said Ellsbury in the first place.

Congrats, we’ve found someone dumber than you. The funny thing is that 20% of Mets fans think they are not getting an enticing enough package for Reyes when it included Buchholz, Ellsbury, Lowrie, and Bowden. The Sox would MAYBE do that deal for just Lowrie and Bowden.
