yeah I gotcha Rathman lol … and I agree … he’s insane … Hanley would be so much better then that waste of life we have now but honestly … think about it … can you guys come up with ten players from all of baseball who you’d rather have in October? its not easy … hes money right now

The MVP of the NL? Jeez, who knows, but it’d be rough. Jacoby, Lowrie and Bowden, maybe?

just curious, what do you think the Sox would have to give up to get Hanley back?

We can all guess what *might* have happened with Hanley here. But all we know is what has happened with Beckett and Lowell and what Hanley’s done in Florida. Like Zach said, it was a win/win for both sides, but I don’t think the Sox would be sniffing the world series right now if Beckett wasn’t on the team.

The Hanley-Beckett/Lowell trade will go down as one of the biggest win/wins of all-time, especially if the Sox finish this.

I still like Hanley, but with every outing… jesus. I always said I’d want Hanley until Beckett game through in an important WS game, so if we get to game 5 and he comes through, or if we don’t even make it to 5, I may have to reconsider.

“Greatest offseason pitcher”
(Yes, that’s what 2 hours of sleep does to you)
You know what I meant, dammit. :-)

And that’s the scary thing. He didn’t throw many hooks or change ups. He just threw his fastball and said hit me if you can.
You do this in one post-season and you can call it a fluke. But he was dominant on ‘03 as well. He’s for real.

Last night Beckett threw like 85% fastballs, those poor Rockies never stood a chance…
