That is a really bad trade, but you never know what those two players can turn into. Maybe playing in a different environment will make them better.

cabrera is 30.. had one decent year last year..thats it.. You dont trade an All star batting .323 for a guy you hope will get better.. Thats a huge gamble.. Sox fans thought they would get pitcher Clement in the deal.. they didnt .. ouch!Originally posted by pxxx

Cabrera is a better defensive shortstop and Nomar is headed elsewhere after this season anyways, why not try to at least get something for him?
Their defense improves greatly with this trade. I also have a feeling they aren't done dealing yet...Last edited by SykkBoy; 07-31-2004, 05:39 PM.Comment

Red Sox could have had so much MORE for Nomar,, like a good pitcher! Or they could have just kept him and try to go all the way this year... Adding two .245 batters with no power to your line up and taking off a .323 batter wont help.. As for defense..there's plenty of SS as good defensively as cabrerra with numbers approching .275 , 15HR...
btw.. today was the trade deadline..Comment

Did they also save money on this deal?Originally posted by SykkBoy2

Today was only the deadline for non waiver trades. Every team now will probably try and send 20-30 people through waivers, the ones that get through can be traded.Comment

How much has Nomar played the last few years? He's complaining about his achilles again so good luck with him. BTW, the Red Sox offered him 60 million in the offseason he turned down, so what do you expect?Comment

Agree...Nomar's good, but too much of a risk injury-wiseOriginally posted by Gator

IMPORTANT RELEVANT INFO IN THIS POST...
The redsox just got something for nothing...the trade deadline was today, and the sox just added TWO gold gloves to their infield...and an EXTREMELY FAST outfielder who adds a NECCESARY dimension to the sox lineup....STOLEN BASES...
Sox now have a SOLID first baseman an excellent everyday shortstop, and a rotateable/pinchrunnable outfielder...Redsox can now MANUFATURE runs in their late game, and reduce their errors SIGNIFICANTLY.
Cabrera was added for defense only. The guy with the 12 letter last name has "decent" offense, but again, hes also only their for his glove. When pokey is back...3 gold gloves will line boston's infield runs scored will drop significantly, and errors will all but dissapear.
Nomar was walking away after this season anyway...this trade may not have been the "Best" one possible, but if you look at when it took place, right before the deadline...youd realize it was better than keeping him around...
bottom line...Bosox now have DEFENSE.
NOMAR was walking away after this season. We got something for nothing...
His bat may be missed, but his errors wont be. Improved Defense more than makes up for it.

Nomar only bats .245 away from fenway. When he turned down a 4 yr 60 Million dollar contract he fucked up. I hate to see him go but fuck him. Ill take the defense, and im willing to bet those bats are alot better in fenway.Insert Sig HereComment
