For yall Bosox fans...

I am a Sox fan and I honestly don't know what to think of this trade. I liked Hillenbrand, but he definitely didn't buy into Epstein's philosophy, Mueller is red hot, and they have like 43 guys who can play 3rd base. Kim has pitched well, even though he doesn't have a good record, and I think that if they can convince him to be a reliever then this is a good deal for the Sox. The problem is that Kim thinks that being a reliever means that you are not good enough to start - because that is what it means in Korea - so he may be reluctant to go back to the pen. Also, Fossum will be fine. The bottom line is that the Red Sox needed pitching and you have to give up something to get something in return.

 

i'll agree to that. getting him back in the pen and having him be happy with it, thats what they have to do. oh yeah, and lets just bench him with a "sore arm" when playing the yankees...please

and hillenbrand at 400k/yr.......you're right, that is one helluva deal

 

hillenbrand soaked up 59 faab dollars in my nl only league. thats pretty steep.

 

He better pitch good tonight. The Pitching has been horrible especially this past week.
