Ellsbury being brought up in conversation with Theo this off season should be the following <br/><br/>Other Teams' GM-"Soo, what about that Jacoby Ellsbury kid, hes going to be pretty good, he would be a good addition to our team."<br/><br/>Theo-" Who? Who is this Jacoby Ellsbury? This kid does sound pretty good maybe we should make a bid at him too." <br/><br/>PLAY STUPID. It works. Make the conversation awkward. Its ends faster. <br/><br/>If Theo trades Jacoby Ellsbury, David Murphy and Kason Gabbard in the same callender year, Im going to be a bit pissed and question what the hell the farm system really is for.

PLAY STUPID. It works. Make the conversation awkward. Its ends faster.

If Theo trades Jacoby Ellsbury, David Murphy and Kason Gabbard in the same callender year, Im going to be a bit pissed and question what the hell the farm system really is for.

They would never agree to add 30 million dollars in payroll. Plus, I'm kind of interested in seeing what kind of years Lugo and Drew are going to have in 20008, it has to be better right? I would offer Minnesota Lester, Moss, Craig Hansen and Coco Crisp. I would even pay some of Coco's remaining salary. The one guy I would label untouchable is Ellsbury. They can have anyone else. M3,

I feel it is too much, I say we give Drew, Coco, and Lugo PLUS Cash to Minnesota for Johan. Id rather start Keilty in Right than Drew. Im sure we have some other kick ass SS prospect in Pawtucket, Jacoby in CF, things work. Then again, with Beckett - Santana - Schilling - Wakefield - Buchholz... Damn. Personally, Id rather trade Buchholz, Cash and Moss. I like Lester plus he is a lefty. Buchholz is a good rookie prospect. <br/><br/>Then again, no one saw Theo getting rid of Bronson either. Yes.

We wish you the best of luck.<br/><br/>You're right Johan is a baller, but would you be willing to give up a package that included "Wonderboy" Ellsbury to get him? I'm guessing that a package of Ellsbury, Lester and one more (Craig Hansen??) would get Santana. Is that too much to pay? Congratulations on getting in to UMass. We wish you the best of luck.

No one should ever pass up this great lefty talent. Thats probably our only issue in the rotation right now. Lester is good, but Johan is Cy Young good. <br/><br/>Speaking of going back to New England, I found out LAST night about 2 or so hours after my post that I infact did get into UMass Amherst and that I can start the Spring there in Jan. Im going home guys. lol Johan is a baller. No one should ever pass up this great lefty talent. Thats probably our only issue in the rotation right now. Lester is good, but Johan is Cy Young good.

Any word on moving back up to New England?<br/>I like that the Sox learned from the mistakes they made after the 2004 WS. Locking up Schill and Lowell was a smart move. I want to see these guys defend their title. What are your thoughts on making a push for Johan Santana? Hey M3,
How’s it going? Any word on moving back up to New England?

Lowell back for 3 more. I like how he took less and fewer years to stay with the Sox. Thats a real player for you. btw, good luck to Gatorz in the Playoffs, Two Championships (Sox and Gatorz) in one year. Good luck guys. Whats up guys, its been a while. Lowell back for 3 more.
