Juan Enc for Matt Clement

Braden Looper for Matt Clement

Clement's last three years in the NL (at wrigley no less) he had a sub 700 OPS against.

Straight up. I'd do it now. What do you think? Good idea from Lboros related to Juan Cruz. Great defensive replacement for dunc and HR power off the bench.

Blooper yes,
Enc no...he hasnt been THAT bad...i think he hasnt been clutch and screwed up at the wrong times.
I bitched more than anyone when we signed him, but hes done better than i expected...
He is what he is...

Whoopss

Looks like Clement is rehabbing from some form of shoulder surgery. Probably out for the first few months of the season. I wouldn't do these deals given than info...

I wouldn't do the first one

if he was healthy. Enc is an average outfielder. Clement might be an average pitcher.

No....no no no no no no no.

From RedSox.com: "Clement underwent extensive surgery on both his labrum and rotator cuff. It would be a surprise if Clement throws a single pitch in 2007."

The Sawks rotation for 2007 seems likely to be Beckett, Schilling, Wakefield, Papelbon, and maybe Matzusaka.
