Imagine our rotation if we still had........................


Recommended Posts

Imagine we never traded Penny for Lo Duca and Mota- Really, what did they get us in a Trade.

 

Beckett gone I understand- I am happy with Hanley over Josh.

 

Olsen

Penny

Hendrickson

Johnson

Sanchez/Mitre/Miller/Nolasco/Volstad

 

Imagine that- because for what we got for penny, isnt around anylonger. You would have a top rotation with him still around.

Here's what the team would look like according to me.

 

C= Pudge

1B= Jacobs

2B= Louie Castillo

SS= Hanley Ramirez

3B= Mike Lowell

LF= Jeff Conine

CF= Juan Pierre

RF= Hermida

 

 

Rotation

Kevin Brown

AJ Burnett

Brad Penny

Scott Olsen

Josh Beckett

 

Closer: Todd Jones

So you expected the Red Sox to give up their top prospect for nothing?

I miss our elite pitching. Beckett Penny Burnett Pavano Willis.

Those last too aren't elite anymore, and you can make the argument that Beckett was great but not elite when he was here.

 

and healthy :thumbdown

 

Sans the World Series, I'm very dissatisfied with Beckett's tenure as a Marlin

I can't go sans the World Series. That's a big sans. Also, he had a pretty good year in 2005, but D-Train overshadowed it.

The thing is, he never quite was what he could be (and is now) with us, except for the 2003 Postseason... everything else was a glimpse, or a flash or a "what could be if he stayed healthy a full season"...

 

Yeah, World Series heroics kinda gives him a bullet proof vest for criticism, but... I can't help but feel slighted when I think of what Josh could have been here...
