Poor Arroyo.
Guy absolutely loved Boston. He could have signed with another team for more money as a free agent this offseason, but instead, took a hometown discount to stay with the Red Sox. Then he gets raked in spring training and subsequently chewed out by Cooch in the blog. And how does he gets rewarded? By the Red Sox shipping his ass out of town. Guess it's safe to say there won't be any hometown discounts to stay in Boston anytime soon. Ouch! When they say baseball is a "business", they ain't lying.

writing was on the wall. with a staff overloaded with starting pitchers and arroyo showing no signs of improvement during his beantown tenure, you knew something had to give. this is a good trade for the sox. they lose nothing in terms of pitching depth and gain outfield depth they desperately needed.
wily mo has some serious pop. 51 HRs in 801 ABs ain't so bad, especially for a platoon guy. great fit, nice pickup.
