Seth's good buddy Murray Chass, Mr. Sensitivity when it comes to possible tampering in MLB, can't quite bring himself to call ol' Charlie Monfort out -- despite the fact that the Rockies' buffoon of an owner blatantly named names (Lowell, Tavarez) to the media while in the middle of sensitive trade discussions. Yeah, OK, Murray - you're just out for the truth - no anti-Red Sox bias or anything.

I'm not sure I like Montfort as a trading partner. He has unrealistic expectations and can't keep his mouth shut. Thisis probably for the best. I’m not sure I like Montfort as a trading partner.

We're talking baseball again, which is the way it should be. Interesting on WEEI today; Ken Rosenthal from Fox Sports called the Helton-to-Sox trades a no-brainer, do it in a minute, and the Boston Herald's Tony Massarotti said no way. Of course by the time Tony Maz was on, we all knew that the Rox wanted Lowell, Tavares, Hansen and Delcarmen. At this point, I'm inclinced to agree with Maz. I think it's too risky.

We're not the Yanks. It seems as if Dice-K has you guys worked up like your cousin's name is Vinny! The money(even at 40mil)is to much. The players discussed actually thrive in Boston. The young guns will come around. Next year when Lowell leaves maybe an other non-free agent will opt out of their contract and get 14 mil a year from us!

Who does that leave for first or third besides Youk? Not sure what next year's corner IF free agent class looks like but acquiring Helton would potentially shore up the infield corners for the next few years.

Bernie Lincicome of the Rocky Mountain News had an intriguing opinion of the whole Helton situation. I say intriguing, because if it weren't for the title, I'd have no freakin' clue what he's trying to say. The man loves his commas.
