It doesn't do anything for the Red Sox. Cintron is a fine player if you plan on platooning him with a good LH batter (he hit .322/.359/.463 against LHPs from 03-05) but you don't want him playing every day because he's a below average fielder and doesn't hit RHPs very well. Terrero is a toosly guy but he's never put it together for any level of success. He's the type of guy you shold be able to pick up on hte waiver wire.

Despite his age, Wells is still a good pitcher. He doens't get many K's but he doens't walk anyone and doesn't give up HR's.

I don't know if it's the best trade. I think AZ might be able to do better.

I see your reasoning Kutulu and it has merit, however, with Wells at 43 this season and his shape he's due to falter soon. I just don't think he's worth any kind of prospect that you can get better value for.

If I were Az. I'd pick up Brian Tallet off the Indians waiver wire and see what he has. At worst you end up sending him back. The kid has some talent, he's just not a good fit for the Indians (probably because they really do not know how to treat their pitching staff). In Phoenix, the kid maybe the next Webb. An NL park that is geared more for pitchers than Cleveland's, will probably do wonders.

I'd take that gamble before Wells. In ST you can always find something if Tallet doesn't work out.

But then again, if I were truly that great at GM thinking I'd have been a GM somewhere by now.
