    really? Well his defense is great. Can't be any worse than Green or Lowrie. Can we just get fucking Mauer already and a SS somewhere?

    Green has cost the Sox at least one, if not more games with his horrid defense.

    he tries to much. A-Gon is a nice fluid defensively sound athlete. his bat isnt that bad either.

    i forgot "get" as I was typing fast. I like Martinez, but think Mauer is better and don't know if Minn. will resign him when his contract his up.

    He's a career .246 hitter and is hitting a whopping .210 this year.

    Yeah, why can't "we" just get the best catcher in the game already?? :roll:

    Acquiring A-Gon just seems like an expensive lateral move to me.
    He floated back down 'cause he wanted to share, his key to the locks on the chains he saw everywhere.

    Do you really think the Twins wouldn't resign their home-town hero?? Or that Joe himself wouldn't resign with his home-town team?

    Yes I know money is a big factor in all this, but from what I've witnessed of Joe he is going to stay right where he is. Only way he leaves Minnesota is if he feels like the ownership isn't trying hard enough to win a championship.

    unrealistic.. and if there was another team who would need a catcher in 2 years... well we all know where that road leads us.

    Oh, you mean the same guy we shit canned after 06 to pick up Theo's man crush Julio Lugo. At least the defense will improve and actually it's a step up from Lowrie's hefty .080 average. Should have never got rid of Cabrera after 2004.
    I'll ride the wave where it takes me.
