Hanley, Cliff Lee, Adrian Gonzalez, Josh Beckett were all available to basically whoever wanted to pick up their contracts Oh come on. 1.Those are all "bad contracts." 2A. Hanley was traded for a league average 22 year old starter. 2B. Cliff Lee wasn't traded, so we don't know that. 2C. Gonzalez and Beckett were tied together with one of the worst contracts in baseball, and still returned an okish prospect and a guy who I don't like personally, but dexter and somebody else had filling Josh Beckett's shoes. (har har, SSR doesn't like Rubby De La Rosa, what an idiot!!!) are those guys all studs?
