Arroyo and Youkilis for Torii Hunter is like the Yankees? Elaborate, plz, b/c when I think of Yankees, I think of overpaying for veterans, not making good trades.

It's the idea that your team has the god-given right to acquire a big name for every single hole you have in the ballclub. No center fielder? Let's get Torii Hunter! Need a pitcher? Let's trade for Curt Schilling or Randy Johnson! Need a set-up man? B.J. Ryan! There are such things as role players that other teams settle for. I don't think it's the teams as much as the fantasy baseball mentality of the fans and sports radio.

So saying the Red Sox are turning into the Yankees is a stretch- we already went over their fanbase, and you seem to agree that its not the teams.
For someone who doesn't pay attention to theoretical trades during the offseason, why are you getting worked up over what one guy said in passing on a local sports television station?
