Message: [QUOTE="HuskyHawk, post: 5299186, member: 1414"] This is just so wrong. Hicks has been an excellent reliever and the Sox tried to sign him previously. He was a bad starter in SF. Harrison was one of the top pitching prospects in baseball very recently. They are good players. Harrison is probably the #3 starter on this team after July. Devers isn't their best player, Duran is (Crochet is if you count pitchers), and he doesn't have a reasonable contract for a Dan Hurley. He was the best power hitter, sure. You're suggesting that if Harrison becomes something close to Crochet or Skenes, this is a bad trade? Because that alone is enough to move Devers. So, as I said, we don't know. There's a big IF associated with this. I thought it was a salary/disgruntled player dump, but some more analytical Sox fans dug into the guys coming back and suggested it's better value than initially believed. Certainly the contract reduced what came back. [/QUOTE]
