i never thought i'd ssee the sox pitcher heavy but they did need the bat so this looks like another stroke of theoism brilliance...
the reds got him on the cheap when bronko took a cut on this contract - but even though wily mo is young he has been prone to injuries - more than likely he'll only play against left handed pitchers and leave trotter in against righties - trot is up for freebies after this season so the deal does look good for the sox having pena as insurance should nixon grow wings...
