For some reason I get a lot of trade proposals focused around the late 2000's/early 2010's. I don't have an explanation other than people trying to clear room of an era that isn't making much impact on the hobby anymore. A lot of the cards in this post are from that time period.

1. Glenn Hoffman. This is apparently from an All Star program insert? Maybe? Hoffman is actually the older brother of Trevor Hoffman, which is somewhat odd since he was out of the Majors a few years prior to Trevor making his debut. Glenn was a light-hitting middle infielder.
2. J.D. Drew. Drew is one of those players I defend a lot. There is a subset of fans that refer to his free agent contract as a huge bust. That is simply not borne out by the results. Drew had an .824 OPS and 114 OPS+ during his time in Boston, but if you take out his injury-riddled final season, those numbers are .853 and 121. That's a damn good player.
3. Roger Clemens. This is apparently a Canadian version of this card. I accept these minor variations occasionally.
4. Wade Boggs. From the Idols subset, Boggs grew up idolizing George Brett, fittingly. Brett had more power, but they were very similar players.
5. Ryan McGuire. McGuire was a third-round draft pick by the Red Sox in 1993. He never played a game with Boston though as he was traded to the Expos prior to the 1996 season in the deal that brought Wil Cordero to Boston.
6. Michael Bowden. Bowden was a first round pick in the 2005 draft (which produced Jacoby Ellsbury and Jed Lowrie). He was given a few stints in Boston then was traded to the Cubs for Marlon Byrd.
7. Josh Beckett. I don't know why I thought of this the other night, but I remembered when Boston played Cleveland in the 2007 ALCS and Beckett was pitching in Cleveland with the Indians staked to a 3-1 lead in the series. In an effort to mess with his head and put Boston away, his ex-girlfriend who is a minor country music star, was brought in to sing the National Anthem prior to the game. It didn't work. Beckett pitched eight innings, gave up one run and struck out 11 en route to a 7-1 victory. The Red Sox came all the way back to win the series and eventually the World Series.
8. Clay Buchholz. Buchholz was a first-round draft pick also in 2005. The Red Sox had FIVE picks in the first round that year. And all five made the Majors with Buchholz, Ellsbury and Lowrie eventually going to All Star games. That is one hell of a draft.
9. Jacoby Ellsbury. Speaking of Ellsbury. He was the best player Boston picked in that draft, especially when you consider his efforts to bring down the Yankees from the inside after signing a lucrative deal prior to 2014.
10. Anthony Ranaudo. Ranaudo was a highly-touted draft pick when he was a first-rounder in 2010. He struggled in his initial Major League appearances though and was eventually traded for Robbie Ross.

11. Anthony Ranaudo. Here he is again.
12. Clay Buchholz. Had he stayed healthy, Buchholz might have won the 2013 Cy Young Award. He was 12-1 with a 1.74 ERA.
13. Allen Webster. Webster was one of the big names acquired when Boston reset during the 2012 season by sending Adrian Gonzalez, Carl Crawford, Josh Beckett and Nick Punto to the Dodgers. Webster and Rubby De La Rosa were the big gets, along with Ivan DeJesus Jr., Jerry Sands and James Loney. Eventually all of those pieces were sent elsewhere. Sands and DeJesus were sent to the Pirates for Joel Hanrahan (and Brock Holt) prior to 2013. Webster and De La Rosa were given a bit longer, but were eventually traded to Arizona for Wade Miley. Webster never did develop into a reliable Major League starter.
14. Teddy Stankiewicz. I feel like he was some kind of relative to former Yankees infielder Andy Stankiewicz, but I can't confirm that. He never made the Majors.
15. Steven Wright. Man, his off-field issues ruined what was a pretty good story. I liked him a lot. He had a fun knuckleball.
16. Henry Owens. I remember when he was a can't-miss prospect. A first-rounder from the 2011 draft, he ended up pitching in 16 games with a 5.19 ERA. This is why I don't get too hung up on prospects.
17. Ted Williams. A can't-miss prospect that didn't miss.
