As a Bostonian, I can state confidently that moving Nomar along was a good move for the Red Sox. His attitude was terrible after the Sox attempted to get A Rod, and (whether due to lingering injury which I suspect, he has never been quite the same since his surgery, or other reasons) both his hitting and fielding had markedly deteriorated from his peak. Could this turn out to be another Clemens (who proceeded to win 3 Cy Youngs after the Sox decided not to resign him because he was in the "twilight" of his career) disaster? Sure. But I think not.
