That's the title from Eric Wilbur's most recent post on le affair Coco Chanel. Word is that the Indians want Andy Marte, Kelly Shoppach and now Manny Delcarmen for Crispity Chocolaty -- three of the top 10 rated prospects in the Sox system. Shoppach doesn't seem like such a big deal -- we've been waiting years for him to develop into a major league caliber talent -- but Marte and Delcarmen are clearly guys that most people have tabbed for solid (Delcarmen) to great (Marte) MLB careers. Seems like a stiff price to pay for a guy who's never hit leadoff and may or may not be able to handle the pressures of playing in Boston. But then again, there are no guarantees with prospects, are there? I say screw the Indians. Take the deal off the table and see if they decide it's worth a flier on Mota's arm.
Speaking of taking a flier on Mota's arm, turns out the Red Sox never even did a physical of their own, for either Mota or Beckett. Um... isn't that professional sports 101? Apparently not, according to Chris Snow's story in the Globe today.
