That day, the Marlins nearly traded Josh Beckett and Mike Lowell to the Rangers for Hank Blalock and John Danks. Let's start with the Fish. They would never have received Hanley Ramirez, Anibal Sanchez, and others from Boston. Instead they would've gotten Blalock in '06 and Blalock plus Danks in..   Continue Reading
