DELAY
At least two big trades went down requiring much commentary which is delaying the post. The lack of confirmation on the A's - Padres deal is also contributing to the hold up, stick 'em up... Many of these deals could impact the Sox.
The Sox did make a move signing Adam Hyzdu to a minor league deal. Hyzdu has played about 50 games each of the last three years in Pitt. At 31, it is unlikely that Hyzdu's performance will improve. He has decent power, hitting 11 homers in 155abs in 2002, and plate discipline, 35 BB in 349 pa over his MLB career. He can play all spots in the outfield. Hyzdu is a cheap insurance policy. Hopefully, he plays all of 2004 in RI.
Allen Barra of Slate is a must read for a different view on the A-Rod situation. Thanks to baseballprimer.com 's clutch hits section for the link.
