	Curt Schilling to Bosox? Support Apolyton, buy Civilization: The Boardgame

That's the current buzz anyway. He has announced a tentative trade deal that would send him to the Boston Red Sox. Looks like the Bosox are tired of being the perennial bridesmaid

Well Gee, LoA, maybe Arizona will rent him out for a season. The Sox have plenty of offense but imagine how they'll be with Pedro, Schilling and Lowe!!!

The scroll on MSNBC didn't name a Red Sox player so it might not be one of their biggest stars. Maybe someone like Nixon and some draft picks

Getting rid of Manny would be the best thing the Bosox could do. Too bad no one wants his overpaid, worthless ass.

he's a good pitcher.

too bad he's playing for the wrong team, and might not be playing real ball anymore.

Quite possible. He pouted his way out of Philly and now he is pouting his way out of AZ.

You Boston fans beware: Schill is making the agreement to be traded to Boston contingent upon Terry Francona getting the manager job in Boston. Francona and Schill were in Philly together. Schill loved Francona because he could tell Francona when he was coming out of a game and Francona was afraid to argue. Schill would then try to pitch a complete game every time out and wound up being useless by September. Of course, it's not like the Phils were in any pennant races under Francona anyway. Francona had very little respect from the players and the Phils had last place finishes almost every year he was there.

It's Casey Fossum and another prospect. Then the D'Backs are dealing Fossum to Milwaukee for Sexton.

Actually, the way I've heard it, it's Fossum (who is well on his way to becoming the next Ted Lilly), Brandon Lyon, and two prospects, with the prospects getting shipped to Milwaukee for Sexson.

I'd just as well that this trade not go through, as I don't want Francona as manager. (Hoping that Larry Dierker gets the job.)

Word was that when they were offering Schilling to the Yankees, the D'backs were asking for Soriano and Nick Johnson, which would be an absurdly high price even if the trade wasn't a salary dump. I wonder why they're being so much more reasonable with Boston? (Not complaining; I grew up a Red Sox fan.)

I have a hunch, just a hunch, that next year we will see a Red Sox - Cubs world series.

That isn't all that bad. Lilly is/will be a consistent 14 game winner, with the potential to be a very solid 2 and a great 3.

Well the deal for the D'Backs is really Schilling for Sexson, Lyon, and 2 prospects. Milwaukee wants Fossum and will dump Sexson for him. Sexson is better than Johnson (and in the same league), and the D'Backs would probably rather have a closer and 2 prospects than a 2B they may want to turn into a CF (since they have Spivey at 2B).

Oh, please! Soriano is an All-Star. Lyon has 9 saves and a career ERA of 4.99. There aren't two prospects in all of baseball good enough to make up that difference, let alone in the Red Sox system.

Congrats on not knowing a damn thing about what you're talking about. Schill isn't trying to leave Phoenix, the D-Backs are trying to get rid of him to get more offense and free up cap room. The issue with the trade is the no-trade clause in Schilling's contract, so he has to agree with any trade made... so it's basically the opposite of what you said that's really going on. Get a clue.

Soriano sucks. I wouldn't want him on my team. He has no patience. He strikes out a ton, doesn't walk, is bad defensively, and you could him slump for a great portion of last year. He was horrid for a 3 month period. I wouldn't touch Soriano, let the Yankees deal with his (soon) decline.

Lyon has good stuff and can be a closer. The rumored prospects looked good as well.

And Sexson is cheaper AND better than Soriano.
