Thank you, Cards

The Red Sox traded Julio Lugo to the St. Louis Cardinals for outfielder Chris Duncan and a player to be named later (or cash considerations). Duncan, who will be assigned to Pawtucket, was demoted to AAA earlier today after going .227/5/32 in 87 games this season. In 2007, he hit .259 with 21 home runs and 70 RBI in 127 games. Boston reportedly must pay the remaining $13.5 million salary owed on his contract through 2010. The Sox also traded two prospects for Adam LaRoche of the Pittsburgh Pirates.

This trade seems sort of like swapping the trash in front of your house for the trash in front of your neighbor's house.

Plus, once the trash is swapped, you end up paying for all of it.
