Joe,
What do you think about New York Yankees pitcher, Chein-Ming-Wang being hurt? Will they find a replacement you think?
Why do the Mariners suck?
I'll take that one Joe; it's because they have too many lemons.Quote:

Joe,
If you were the GM of the Red Sox, would you trade John Lackey straight up for Jason Bay?

What the Red Sox need is more good hitting, because if the pitchers can prevent the other team from scoring runs but your offense can't score any themselves, well, that's going to be a really long game.
Looking at the numbers you gotta go with a guy like Jason Bay over Lackey. Lackey is only 1 for 30 in his career as a hitter, but he only has 9 strikeouts, so he makes good contact at least.
As for Jason Bay, using advanced sabermatronics, we see that he has a lifetime .280 batting average with 185 home runs and 610 RBI. These are the main offensive numbers. You really have to go with what you see on the field, and although I've never seen him play in person, I believe he used to play for the Red Sox, so this could be an advantage.
Bottom line, the Red Sox need more hitting, so I say pull the trigger on the trade for Jason Bay.
