Padre Fan Maybe Hoping A Little Too Much
Posted: Fri Oct 07, 2011 4:48 pm
This guy wrote on his blog today about the Padres maybe trying to acquire John Lackey. First of all for any team to willingly acquire Lackey at this point, first 
second, bless their hearts if they want to. 
But I think this guy is a little delusional in his trade idea.
He wants the Red Sox to send them Lackey (No problem) and pay most of his remaining salary (feasible). That right there sounds good... We'll pay him most of what he has left and take nothing in return just to get rid of him.
But nooo. This guy goes on to say the Red Sox must also take Orlando Hudson and the Sox must pay every dime Hudson has coming. (I still might be ok with this... but this guy is pushing it).
We arent done yet... He also wants Boston to send them a young major league player or a couple "good" prospects.
What the fuck is this guy smoking? Sure Lackey hasnt been great, but the Padres would surely get great value out of him playing in such a pitcher friendly park and I feel his being back on the west coast in a small market maybe just what he needs to be the kind of pitcher he was... and maybe getting past his divorce issue certainly could help a bounce back.
But this guys trade proposal is downright highway robbery and theres ZERO chance the Sox would bite, because there are NL teams out there who would take Lackey with Boston paying most of his salary for a dozen baseballs...
