I think Reed will hit .300 next year. Let's say .304 with an OBP around .360, 11 HRs and 16 SB.

We need to end the nonsense of the Reed/Olivo talk. How many of us aren't happy to have Freddy? Not many. I love Freddy. I'd much rather have a proven #1/#2 starter than an unproven outfielder and a catcher that wasn't living up to expectations (even though he was a great guy and I'll miss him for his love for the team). I know we would all have rather acquired Freddy for a bag of balls and an AA backup 2B, but we had to do what we had to do. Reed will be alright if not good. Outfielders aren't hard to come by in the FA market. I think it would be wise to leave it to people on the Seattle message boards to gripe about the progress of Reed rather than us. He's no longer in our system and we're better for it.

This could come back and bite us in the ass, but I think it was a risk worth taking. I'm not a fan of Reed's mechanics, Olivo has trouble hitting right handers, and Morse has really only had one good season (and really isn't doing much in the AFL). Prospects are a crap shoot, we all learned that the hard way after the 2000 season. |

It's always a double edged sword with armchair GM's. If KW makes the trade, he's stupid for trading an unproven outfielder and an underperforming catcher for an outstanding pitcher to make a run at the playoffs. If KW doesn't make the trade, he's nothing but a quitter who waves the white flag too soon and a tool of JR's pocketbook for not getting the pitching the Sox needed to make a run at the division...
I don't know about the rest of you, but I feel much more comforatable about 2005 knowing that Freddy is on the roster than I would if we had Olivo, Reed, and a huge hole at his spot in the rotation. |

Seattle wasn't looking for an expensive right fielder they knew was going to be a free agent at the end of the season. They were looking to dump salary and get prospects to build for the future. Trades are a two way street- both teams have to agree. Hindsight is 20/20 |
