1. Lackey: no way!! He was disaster waiting to happen
2. Crawford: I was excited to get him, but like many others have said, the Sox wayyyyy overpaid for him.
3. Gonzalez: this is the difficult one. Adrian is one of the best hitters in the game, BUT after they re-signed him to that mega-contract, I realized they could have kept Beltre AND added another pitcher for about the same money.
I STILL would have made the A-Gon trade, but with Youkilis' recent hip woes, it makes you wonder if keeping him at first (and keeping Beltre at third) would have been better for the team in the long run.
The ironic thing is that there has been talk that when Jose Reyes is a free agent after this year, he wants Carl Crawford money. Makes you think if he wants to take that back now considering the year Crawford has had.
