Well if we trade Jackson in a Dunn deal, our rotation is really s*** now. Really bad. So we need to get a pitcher back along with a slugger. So I thought Lilly and Lee would be the key. I don't wanna see Torres on the mound the next two months. I guess the guy we are pitching tonight could be the savior, however. Maybe he's a bulldog like somebody said.

Here's how to salvage the day. Trade Jackson and pay some of his salary to the Cubs for Lilly and Lee! How bout it.

So now we've flopped Jackson for Hudson. In reality that is not too bad. But ... if we trade Jackson now and don't get anything good, we have a big hole in our rotation. As of now, it's not been a horrible day trade wise. It could get bad, however, if we are stuck with Torres or somebody as No. 4 and Freddy No. 5.

I sort of want to see it. Can we keep the home win streak alive with this new pitcher? Can we score some runs at home and win? It has some intrigue to it.

I'm not trying to be sarcastic. I love Gordo.

That's going to be sad losing Beckham. Very sad. I like everything about him.

Oh, Ok.

Thanks again. Wow, he gives up some runs on a consistent basis. He had a pretty good last outing though.

No sarcasm. If the GM acquires a lefthanded big bat like Dunn and he platoons with a lefty weakling like Kotsay, yes I feel that is a fireable offense. I worship Ozzie but that would be insane. I can't imagine that happening with Dunn/Kotsay.

Platoon? Aren't they both lefties? That makes no sense. Oz will be forced to play Dunn over Kotsay or get fired and as an Oz lover, that would be a fireable offense. You don't acquire Dunn and split his at bats with Mr. Out.

A nibbler, huh? I assume he's a righty? Thanks, can you guys give me a full rundown of him, what he's done and how you project him to be in the majors? How old is he, etc? I've never heard of this guy.

Who the heck is Lucas Harrell and can he win tonight?

Did they ever reveal Bobby's family emergency a few weeks ago? Does anybody know what the deal was?

QUOTE (kev211 @ Jul 30, 2010 -> 07:23 AM) Greg why when you quote some do you not use the reply button? I've honestly been wondering this for a very long time now haha. I dunno. Did I do it right this time? I have a hard time with message board functions sometimes.

QUOTE (J.Reedfan8 @ Jul 30, 2010 -> 07:07 AM) Now your putting words I've never said into your mouth. You discussed chemistry, I called you out on that and you mentioned A.J. (for whatever reason) which I said we won with Castro as well. My point is don't act like A.J. (who has been terrible offensively this season) is the reason why the sox are doing well. Castro nor anyone else individually is the reason either. The sox are winning because our pitching as a whole has been fantastic and we are playing great defensively. (especially Alexei) Why get so upset? I am confusing you with the other guy who was mad about AJP. I think AJ is a reason we're doing well. He calls a good game. He's a competitor and part of this mojo that's going on. What is with all the anger on this site lately? Can't we just discuss things? Maybe it's as hot and muggy in Chicago as it has been in Kansas. I apparently mistook you for the other poster who flat out said Castro should be playing until further notice. It's late at night and I have not got the two of you straight. I am sorry for that. Didn't mean it. I just feel that his point is way off base regarding Castro/AJP. I stand by my chemistry comment in reference to the quote you showed me. I think AJ has helped us win, thus has helped our chemistry.

I got a feeling we're going to get him now that the Astros have the Jays' AAA phenom Wallace. You heard it here first. We are going to acquire Berkman.

I want Derrick Lee at DH and have a sneaky feeling Ted Lilly wouldn't be a disaster. Of course I don't want to give up any of our name prospects for anybody, so I guess in my world we can't acquire Lee/Lilly.

JReed, do you really want AJP to lose his starting job to Castro??? Are we really having this discussion after a 2 homer game versus the M's? You could hit a homer vs. the Ms. Castro is doing very very well in his backup role. AJ is AJ. He is part of the heart and soul of this team. Not saying it's you -- I haven't examined your posts that closely to memorize your position -- but it seems to me a lot of people want to change a lot of things or nitpick about a lot of things (lineups on a daily basis) for a team that has won 11 straight home games and has been overall amazing for quite a stretch now. I really don't get it. I do know one thing. This place is going to get all-time crazy if the Sox start losing a batch of games again. Wow.

And we are winning with AJP; exactly my point.

The wave is a disgrace to all sports. Boo on Sox fans for doing it. Kill it.

My god. Brett Wallace was available???? I would give anything for that guy! Houston fans should be thrilled.

Sweet. I love agreeing with people and them agreeing with me. Peace is wonderful.

Nope. But you don't make Castro the starter over AJP. You just don't. If you think chemistry means little, then I would disagree with you. Me thinks if Kotsay would have hit two home runs, somebody might have said, "Don't get excited. It was against Seattle. One of the worst teams in baseball." I am fired up about Castro. I just don't want him replacing AJP.

What is your definition of more? What I said? Or what the other poster said? Or ? In no way can it seem like AJP is being demoted or you can say goodbye to team chemistry.

Not unreasonable at all. But make him the starter?? Why? AJP is doing fine. Castro is doing fine. Start him when Freddy pitches? Of course. Against all lefties? I wouldn't be against that. Rest AJP a little more than normal? Fine. But AJP is the starter. There are things about baseball that include chemistry. This team has it. It would be insane to "demote" him. Just insane to team chemistry/unity.
