I also like to see stars come up. That being said its been over 20 years since our last WS. I have been a fan since 85 and got to see 1 WS win. I DO NOT WANT TO TRADE REYES but I also realize at this point we need pitching and do not have the means. I DO NOT WANT A 200 MILLION payroll but I understand that sometimes you get caught in a bind and over pay and that's a luxury of a large market team. You can't keep all of your prospects and be a real contender. Where would the Sox be without Beckett, Schilling, Ortiz....... The Sox traded Ramirez for a potential injury risk Beckett. That worked well for both sides. Granted that Ramirez was not the player then that Reyes is now. All I said is that if I could have Santana and Bedard for Reyes and our prospects I think I would do it. Our rotation would be Santana, Bedard, Pedro, Maine, Perez. That's 5 starters under 30 years old in their primes. That is not a win now team! I would love for my team to contend for the WS every year. I also like to see stars come up.
