Sox & Sox Swap Mark Kotsay For Brian Anderson

July 28: Mark Kotsay and Brian Anderson will be switching the color of their socks and heading to the South Side and Bean-Town, respectively.

Winner: Red Sox

Theo Epstein does it again! It's not that Mark Kotsay is a horrible player, but he doesn't really have a spot on either team behind Kevin Youkilis and Paul Konerko, who is quietly putting together a fabulous season. On the flip side, it seems as if Brian Anderson was only traded because he demanded one, and quite frankly, it looks like the Sox... the white ones... just took the first offer they got. It doesn't make much sense to trade a guy that is 7 years younger for a journeyman with relatively low upside and no place on the team. Maybe Kenny Williams is just a nice guy in giving Anderson his wish. Will he be happy in AAA though???
