QUOTE (Tony82087 @ Jul 28, 2009 -> 02:09 PM) Who goes down? Fields? Kotsay is pretty much a UTL IF at this point. On any other team I would agree... but on the White Sox... Kotsay might be the best defensive OF we have now that Brian is gone. Even with his bad back, knees, etc.

sounds like we are getting Kotsay in return.

1. Game 2 of the World Series. 2. Tie Breaker Game. 3. Game 1 of the World Series. 4. ALDS Game 1 vs. Red Sox. 5. AJ's Walk Off vs. Dodgers in the throwbacks... Summer of 05.

I think he needs a clean shave.

QUOTE (onedude @ Jul 20, 2009 -> 08:24 PM) this is a four game series.....so you mean all four games right...LOL Sure... 4 games then... hell make it the whole week. BA is not a good everyday player... sorry. Scotty Pods isn't BA in the field, but I will take the bad out there to go with his lead off ability.

Pods has 2 runs scored and been on base twice. It would have taken BA all 3 games of this series to reach base twice.

Yeah... after looking at Cortes' numbers from this year... he has pretty much made himself a non-prospect.

Correct... Lumsden was the main piece, he is either out of baseball or getting real close to it. Cortes was the throw in that turned out to be the better player.

A prospect that many people were sad to see moved is on the move again.

QUOTE (WSoxMatt @ Jul 7, 2009 -> 10:54 PM) we go 88 years w/o a WS win, KW gets it done, and you guys rip every move he makes...makes me think you are all ungrateful bastages at times Go watch the Cubs and see what suffering is all about!! Seriously... some of you guys need to get over yourselves. Trust our GM to do his job... he is pretty good at it.

I have faith in Kenny Williams. I also have faith in Buddy Bell.

I think this is Bartolo's way of retiring.

While I am sad to see Brandon Allen traded... I love Tony Pena's arm. He is a guy who hasn't been consistent, but has absolute electric stuff.

Just wanted to put this out there for those that might be interested. http://www.triplethreatsports.com/ Note: I am not affiliated with triple threat... just passing this info along.

I disagree... you are talking about a guy who after being demoted, their GM came out and said resigning him was a mistake... yes he said that to the media. Snell is still due 5 million for next year too. I think you can give them a warm body and they might jump at it.

Snell is making his 2nd start in the minors tonight since being demoted. He struck out 17 in his first outing. Lets go take him from the Bucs since they don't want him. I know we don't need him, but having a glove like Jack Wilson would be nice too. How about Snell for David Cook.

QUOTE (whitesoxbrian @ Jul 4, 2009 -> 03:54 PM) Josh Johnson has a 2.78 ERA, a 1.13 WHIP, and he's 25 years old. There is no way he's going anywhere. remember you are talking about the Marlins here... and about a guy with a history of arm troubles with Boras as his agent. I think that reason there will prevent him from coming to us... but I could very easily see Johnson traded for a package of 3 good prospects.

what if the price for Bedard was just Richard?

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jul 4, 2009 -> 03:47 PM) Garland? For the money, I would rather keep Richard in the rotation and find another bat to come off of the bench. not saying I want it to happen, but at the same time... if the cost is just picking up some of the remaining scratch he is owed I am all for it. I like Clayton, but I am tired of seeing him last 5 innings. I am fully confident that Garland could eat innings for us.

QUOTE (whitesoxbrian @ Jul 4, 2009 -> 03:34 PM) Face it: if we aren't going to give up Viciedo, Beckham, Danks, Flowers, or Hudson, we have no chance at Halladay. There's nobody really on Toronto I'd want (by the way, the hats they wear today and on Canada Day are awesome). Rios has a huge deal + his OBP is a whopping .318 this year. Wells makes way too much + he sucks. Scott Downs or Jason Frasor would be solid pick-ups to help our bullpen. Both have ERA's under 2. I'd love to add Downs, and would even be okay with Frasor. Just wonder what they would cost us. and who's spot would 1 or both be taking.

everyone is going to be looking for starters... thats why teams are trying to get something done before the all star break. shockingly... the most attractive name out there for other teams is Javy. I know for a fact that he is available but the price is going to be high IMO... and teams don't seemed to be scared to pay it. anyways... names I would like to see the Sox rumored with... Danny Haren Roy Halladay Josh Johnson Eric Bedard names that I won't be surprised to see, but I will be less excited about... Jonathan Sanchez Aaron Harang Bronson Arroyo Ian Snell Gil Meche John Lannan my prediction: Sox trade for Jon Garland if they can't get a big name Starter.

I'd like to see the Bulls go after Anthony Parker.

BARONS WIN BARONS WIN

great strategy by the Tribe... bring in a guy who takes 45 seconds between every pitch.

great job guys... I am proud to call Soxtalk/Future Sox Home.
