QUOTE(fathom @ Jul 31, 2006 -> 01:26 PM) Joel Guzman is a terrible defensive player, but he's got some massive offensive potential. He is very well regarded and your right about his defense, but he's not been quite as hideous since he moved to 3rd base a year or so ago. But ya, this is a pretty highly touted kid who really hit well last year for Jacksonville in the Southern League.

Cesar Itzuris was a real nice pickup and now the Dodgers acquire Julio Logo giving up a top prospect in Joel Guzman and than Sergio Pedroza who was from Fullerton. Man you guys really look to much at Itzuris stats, prior to his injury last year he had some real nice offensive numbers going and he's really gotten better offensively every year. Betemeit at 3rd, Lugo at 2nd and Furcal at SS with one of Kent/Nomar playing first.

QUOTE(Dick Allen @ Jul 31, 2006 -> 01:21 PM) Did anyone hear DJ or Hawk say yesterday that Konerko said Gload would be the best hitter on the White Sox if he got regular playing time? I can't believe KW is getting roster advice from him. I wouldn't be shocked if that was true.

QUOTE(spiderman @ Jul 31, 2006 -> 01:03 PM) Who's Perez ? Oliver Perez, LHP who throws in the upper 90's but has stunk for two years.

QUOTE(Milkman delivers @ Jul 31, 2006 -> 01:02 PM) The Mets turned Xavier Nady into Roberto Hernandez and Scott Linebrink? Damn, that's some good GMing. Wow, nice job by the Padres and Mets. I really think Perez needs a change of pace. Very good job by the Mets though.

I don't mind the Chacon deal. He's not a bad arm although he has been horrible and Nady replaces Wilson.

Yanks are talking about acquiring Craig Wilson. Shawn Shacon was traded to the Pirates, is Wilson the guy coming back?

QUOTE(Reddy @ Jul 31, 2006 -> 12:50 PM) rangers? i thought it was boston Ya, I thought it was Boston as well. Mariners are very interested in Jason Schdmit apparently.

Remember, you may not hear everything right at the deadline as some deals have to get through the mlb offices and don't get announced till as late as an hr after.

I thought we just acquired Jacque Jones to play left field (that was my thought) and honestly it wouldn't be horrid. He could play defense throughout the outfield. But I realize most everyone hates Jacque Jones, although I've long been a big fan.

The Baseball Tonight guys are saying its not official that he would be done for the year. Apparently he was the passenger in a car accident.

QUOTE(CWSGuy406 @ Jul 31, 2006 -> 12:19 PM) Oliver Perez + Robbie Hernandez for Xavier Nady Isn't Nady basically the same player as Craig Wilson? Nady is a better player, imo. But I like Xavier Nady. Considering Duaner Sanchez is out for a while, this is a good move by the Mets, imo. I also think Phillips was onto things when he mentioned that they could enter the Soriano talks to replace Nady if they really wanted to.

So Oliver Perez for Xavier Nady is apparently in talks or done. Can't figure out which.

Oliver Perez to the Mets???

Hey R&W. What happened with Loretta. First he was traded than not, but who are they talking to about Loretta?

QUOTE(SoxAce @ Jul 31, 2006 -> 08:47 AM) http://mlb.mlb.com/NASApp/mlb/news/press_r...sp&c_id=cin I gotta say the Reds are not playing around. They are looking to go make some noise come Sep-Oct. Lohse will probably thrive in the NL. And of course good move for the Twins considering they got rid of dead weight and got a pretty good looking pitcher in Ward (Reds third round draft pick with impressive numbers this season) who will probably turn into a stud for them considering their farm system and our luck. (right Flash ) Loshe has a good arm so its not a bad move for there sake. They also acquired Kormeil.

You should probably look in itunes and make sure its reading the ipod. From there you should just click around in your settings and see what the settings are if it auto updates the ipod based on your library or whatever. But you don't hit import library to get things on the ipod. Just look on your itunes and if your ipod is connected and synced in you should see the ipod (mine says Jason's Ipod) and than right click that and hit update.

So I was sick yesterday all day and didn't eat anything (stomach was hurting) but a little chicken chow mein, some 7-up, and a piece of unbuttered bread. So this morning I woke up starving and heated up the chow mein for breakfast...wow, thats some good breakfast food. Thought I'd share cause it was damn tasty.

Series Preview: White Sox @ Royals By Tony Mazzuca Soxtalk.com It has been a very frustrating two weeks for the White Sox, even after the recent series win over the Baltimore Orioles. The Sox will look to get back on track as they travel to take on the Kansas City Royals for a three game set. The Sox need to get the pitching back in gear, and carry over the hits they put up in Baltimore. This series will close out the month of July and carry into August, so a fresh start might be just what this team needs...Click Here For More Info on the Series

QUOTE(SoxAce @ Jul 31, 2006 -> 10:23 AM) It's true. Buster reported the same thing. I posted this in the three way thread. If the BoSox want Jones, they have to part with Lester. That's the main reason this deal isn't done yet. The Braves want Lester. If they got Crisp, Hansen and Lester I'd do it in a heartbeat, but I don't know if they could get all that. QUOTE(redandwhite @ Jul 31, 2006 -> 10:24 AM) The Braves offered Andruw Jones to the Red Sox for Coco Crisp, Jon Lester, and Craig Hansen. The Red Sox didn't hesitate to reject this offer and close off all talks with the Braves. What are the Braves thinking? Thats a fair trade considering the type of talent Jones is. Its a lot to give up as well if your the Red Sox. But if your the Braves and are going to move a star you better get a lot in return.

QUOTE(RockRaines @ Jul 31, 2006 -> 10:20 AM) Im just trying to figure out what would be mutually beneficial to another team. The astros were looking to maybe move Ensberg, maybe they want fields as the future? Maybe they would want another starter which is needed. Can we afford to trade a bat for some pitching? Just heard a rumor of Andrew Jones to the Red Sox? No way Atlanta does that deal. Lester is cheap so that would free up some serious salary and I know they have thought a long time about moving Jones. At the same time Jones is a proven super star, but you got to like the way Lester has pitched thus far. I actually think thats a real bad deal for the Red Sox, unless they are working on something that gets them some legitimate starting. No Josh Beckett is not an ace, not right now he ain't.

QUOTE(RME JICO @ Jul 31, 2006 -> 06:31 AM) Here is a quote from MLB.com: Ya, its Mack.

Odd move, but Casey knows how to handle the bat and is a pretty good hitter. He may not hit for power but the man can get basehits. Of course they have Dmitri back so Dmitri gives him some left handed pop too.

QUOTE(redandwhite @ Jul 31, 2006 -> 10:07 AM) I'm not familiar with Thomas Pauley, but David Pauley cannot touch the upper 90's. He's more your low-nineties fastball, with a solid change and curveball complimenting it. So I'm guessing they are infact different. Alright, I didn't think Thomas was in the Red Sox system. I assume he got hurt or something because he didn't pitch in 05. He was a 2nd round pick of the Reds and I saw him pitch again Winston Salem and wow could he throw gas.

Figured we could have a new thread on this. Kenny has shown interest with him in the past and I'm not saying its very realistic, but Olney was on talking about Lidge and said it didn't seem he had much value on the trade market and than another report said the Astro's owner has pretty much demanded he would be moved. Olney went on to say teams are really concerned with him right now becuase he's all messed up. I took that to mean he's mentally screwed up right now and usually a change of scenario can be exactly what fixes a team. The only problem is we don't really need a guy like Lidge, but it does give us the option of moving Brandon into the rotation and makes the pen very deep. Plus, if you get value for Lidge and get things out of him, you can always swing talent for other talent in the off-season. So while this may not make sense long term, it could be a decent short term plan where he helps us, rebuilds his value and than we swing him for more (especially if its true and the value for lidge in terms of players given up is quite low).
