My main problem with this theory (and I should note that I'm a Sox fan) is that Floyd is *not* what we "desperately need" as Sheehan puts it. The Sox are second only to the Yankees in most batting categories. We benefit from Floyd's addition only a little more than any team would. If this trade were rigged, we would have gotten Colon too (by adding Fossum and/or Nixon, perhaps), as what we clearly need is a starting pitcher. Why didn't Selig hook *that* up if he was putting in the fix for us?

Fraud!
