Trade Deadline Approaching

What will the Sox do? So far just a minor deal for Matt Thornton who hasn't exactly lit it up out of the pen. Jake Peavey's name is being tossed around. But in reality I hope that Ben & Co. agree with me - keep your young players & use them. We haven't seen Ruby de la Rosa yet. Allen Webster has the stuff, but he needs more seasoning. Brandon Workman has been great. He could be a valuable bullpen guy when the "Clay" man gets back into the rotation. Steven Wright & Drake Britton have looked good. Throw in de la Torre & Beato for good measure. The Sox offense has scored more runs than any other team. I would mix these young pitchers into the big club & take my chances. Why give away valuable pieces for a 2 month rental that may break down? Stay the course, Ben. Stay the course.

Earlier in the season I said the Sox need a catcher & that still holds true. Lavarnway is not (and may never be) ready for prime time. Ross is not (and may never be) totally healthy. Salty is OK offensively, but weak defensively. Thq question is, what is available?
