Thread: Danny Valencia Traded to the Red Sox

What? I can't say (star star star star)? ;(

A man playing against boys is always going to swing the bat.

If they woulda waited another wk to send Danny thru waivers.....could we have gotten more than Pineda now that Middlebrooks broke his wrist???

Probably, but:

1.) there is no way to know that's going to happen, and
2.) Once the Red Sox claimed him, there are 48 hours to agree on a deal.

So, maybe the Twins could have waited a week to put him on waivers, but most players are put on waivers right away. Again, since there's no way to know of upcoming injury, it's kind of a mute point.

Grammar police: that's a moot point, not mute (which means unwilling/unable to speak).

yup.....just timing.
