As long as the Reds dont get some veteran Im extremely pleased with the move

That's funny. If you can't get a shortstop that can hit, may as well get one that plays defense. :lol: Let's see what happens.

If the Sox just take on the cash, then the move is GREAT! I'm interested in seeing if the Reds slide Phillips over to SS to see if he can play there next year.

I really cant see them moving Phillips in-season, but I really hope that the do

Then call up Frazier to play 2B

There was an article about a week ago in which BP said he would play SS if the Reds wanted him to. He's a better alternative than anything that they have in the minors. Frazier has moved to 2nd in the minors too, so maybe the Reds are thinking about it? Although it's a move they should have made 3 years ago if they do decide to do it.

...hmm, didn't the Sox have some guy by the name of Alex Gonzalez play for them back in 2006? :lol: :lol:

I love this move so long as there is nothing major being given up. I would expect a mid level prospect if CIN would pay any of the $, or a low end prospect if Boston takes on the rest of the contract

Looks like the Red Sox dealt Kris Negron to Cincinatti for Gonzalez.

You have a link or just speculation?

here is the link:

QUOTE The Red Sox have acquired Reds' shortstop Alex Gonzalez for minor league shortstop Kris Negron. The 23-year-old Negron, a seventh round pick by the Sox in the 2006 draft, was hitting .263 for Single A Salem. The inclusion of Gonzalez in the deal was first reported by Boston.com.http://www.weei.com/sports/boston/this- ... -shortstop

I'll take that for Gonzo for sure, as long as we arent picking up any $$, which im assuming we arent
