| Trade Deadline Analysis With The Q |
| Cards get: Scott Rolen |
| Doug Nickle |
| Phillies get: Placido Polanco |
| Bud Smith |
| Mike Timlin |
| Analysis: The Phillies got beat on this deal. They didn't |
| even get Jimmy Journell, the only player in the Cards farm system worth trading for. Polanco is a good fielder but not a good stick, and not a starter on a championship team. Bud Smith is the best player in the package,him, Duckworth and Myers should be an awsome combo in the next few years. Timlin isn't a closer or a great set-up man, but is an upgrade in their horrible bullpen. Journell should have replaced Timlin. That would have been the best deal that they could have got. |

| Red Sox get: OF Cliff Floyd |
| Expos get: P Seung Song |
| P Sun Woo Kim |
| Player to be named |
| Analysis: This is a great deal for the Red Sox. Not only do they |
| get a left handed power hitter, but they don't touch the major league roster, and they kept their 2 most valuable pieces in the farm system. Although they won't be dealt now since no pitcher worthy of either of those players will clear waivers. The Expos get 2 young pitchers who won't cost them much. The move also gives them payroll flexability if they do get in the wild card hunt. |
