Red Sox acquire Thornburg for Shaw, Dubon, Pennington

Thanks for the updated scouting report.

I've got to say, when players get traded away from our system there are always subsequent mixed emotions. On the one hand, I can't stomach the idea of seeing one of our former prospects turn into an elite player at the major league level, so there is a degree of rooting against the player. On the other hand, I'm not a super awful person and hope these guys experience a degree of success (and $) as a result of their hard work.

For Dubon, he seemed so easy to like and his story from Honduras was inspiring. He's someone who I'm still strongly rooting for even outside of our system.
