maggsmaggs Posted July 29, 2011 Share Posted July 29, 2011 QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jul 29, 2011 -> 12:51 PM) He said he doesn't pick up a bat in the off season. That no where near means he doesn't work out or condition. Well I said as compared to others. Some guys are workout freaks in the off-season, and Adam Dunn isn't. I didn't say he did nothing but sit on his fat ass and watch hillybilly movies while drinking PBRs (though i wouldn't be surprised if true), I just said he doesn't take off-season work as seriously as other MLB players.

maggsmaggs Posted July 29, 2011 Share Posted July 29, 2011 I also love how a Quentin-trade-rumor thread has sub-arguments concerning the Red Sox-White Sox matchups and Adam Dunn's conditioning. Granted, I am integral in both tangents of the thread. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jordan4life_2007 Posted July 29, 2011 Share Posted July 29, 2011 (edited) QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Jul 29, 2011 -> 01:25 PM) That would be 3 straight starts of hitting Lester hard. How many times would it have to happen to not be a fluke? Sometimes a great pitcher has a team he struggles against. Â If baseball is funny like that, why can't something like that happen in the playoffs? We aren't talking about 162 games either, we are talking about a single 5-game series. If the Sox pitch well, which can happen, they still have no chance to beat the mighty Red Sox? Â I never said it couldn't happen. I said I don't believe it would happen.. 3 straight starts? What's that? One start a year. That sample size is too small for me. Edited July 29, 2011 by Jordan4life Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CaliSoxFanViaSWside Posted July 29, 2011 Share Posted July 29, 2011 (edited) Looks like the Phillies are willing to trade Brown maybe to a 3rd team involved in the Pence talks with Houston since Houston wants pitching.

Couldn't a 4 team deal potentially make sense. White Sox land Bourn plus prospects, Phillies land one of Pence/Quentin, Braves land the other, Astros get prospects from both teams.

Put him and Pierre at the top and than use Bourn going forward at the leadoff spot (when Pierre leaves). Â I still think the Sox could move Quentin and than buy elsewhere. Of course, that is tougher to do than a 3 way deal where you are getting exactly what you want. I definitely don't see the White Sox "waiving" the White flag though. Unless they get swept by Boston and Detroit/Cleveland sweep whomever they are playing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
