When I said "low ceiling prospects" the players hadnt been named yet and the word was at the time that they weren't giving up any top prospects. That being said, I don't know anything about the prospects they gave up.
I agree with you on this being a no brainer for the red sox. To me, getting a good prospect out of the deal is gravy. Finding a team that would take that Crawford contract as well as the Beckett contract is ridiculously good fortune for a team that is going young.
good for LA for seizing the moment and going for it now. Gutsy move.
