32 home runs is pretty good, I never would have expected that much power, but Salti hit 25 hrs in only 70% or whatever of the games. Over the long run, I am not sure Reddick is any better than Cody Ross. Bailey was a total disappointment so it is hard to call this anything but a bad trade but I am not all that worked up about losing Josh Reddick.
We were also left hand hitting heavy so giving up Reddick and getting Ross help in that regard as well.
If Reddick goes on the average 30 hr a year for the next 5 years, then yeah, you can say "why on earth did the Sox let this guy go" but I am not there right now.
