That would be the far better move in the short term and long term. If one is going to give up all that for Roy, why not give that package and alittle more to get Johnson.

Then get a bullpen arm...Soriano? Stay away from trades, and stay away from a multiyear Damon deal. Signing Lackey forces Boston to throw away their young prospective talent.
