So now Hendry signed Alou and Sosa's deals? Lee, Ramirez, and Wood are far from "old and declining". It's also funny how you talk about Harris, Beltran, and Jones as being future stars, you neglect that we got Boston's 1st Round pick from last year who is ripping up High A. It's also worth noting that neither of the players given up were the only one's of their kind. Lewis is an upper level 2B, Wellemeyer a young RH fireballing reliever, and Sisco is a better prospect than Jones, not to mention Pinto, Marshall, etc. So, the worst case scenario is that we get two first rounders plus Murton for Jones/Beltran/Harris. Add in the fact that we get Nomar for the rest of this year plus an inside track on signing him. I think it's worth it.
