They traded away Millwood and he's pretty darn good. Remember they traded Ortiz for Moss so that says a bit something of Moss' value. I think they also dealt a prospect with Moss. Either way I like Moss quite a bit. He's gonna have a good career.

Ainsworth is a better prospect then Cotts. It be the equivalent to giving up Honel and someone not quite as good as Garland. Moss is pretty good though. I'm a big fan of his. Orioles did pretty damn good as they now have two guys for their rotation next year. I'm surprised they didn't move Helling. But that could still be announced.

Damn it, Skanks got Gabe White :fyou

Especially if Ventura heads to the Dodgers. Think the Yanks get a guy better then Rockin Robin and they'll add like 6.5 mill (counting whatever cash they sent over) and then they'll deal Robin, probably pick up part of his salary but still save quite a bit of money. Got to give Cashman credit on this one.

Oh Jason.. you have no idea how funny what you wrote is.... "We" said the same exact thing. I'd be at all 7 games!! If things go well for the Sox I'm gonna buy plane tickets via Southwest for the date of the series and will spend some of the money I've made this summer working like 50 hours a week. Oh man...you tell Sidney if he joins the Sox he'll have you and me head up the Ponson Fan Club

Ya, didn't even notice it.

Agreed, Levine would of been a good pickup for the Sox.

But it would solve baseball's woes overnight if the Yanks were contradicted. They should just get turned into a baseball variety of the Harlem Globe Trotters

Sweet...Now I only hope you'll get to see the Sox play the Giants And next season if Giants don't resign Ponson (They will sign him considering what they gave up) then the Sox should go after him. And for those that doubted, I think its a given they would of given up their 3 best prospects for Colon.

We got Heads in charge of getting the color changed

Levine is solid.

Damn the Orioles did really good.

Borchard and Rauch for Vazquez would be a very fair deal as it wold be if it was Cotts instead. I think Sox will acquire Vazquez or Ponson. Its just a hunch I have. I think KW will look at the price for the mediocre pitchers and say screw it...I can get one of those two and keep them long term and not really give up much more.

I got a hunch that the Sox will land Ponson for Malone, Rogowski, and Majewski.

Last year Young was coming off a season ending surgery when he broke his arm for his highschool team.

I think its a really stupid move if they give up anything. Karros has been playing really good and Choi is still very solid and will become a good player.

The deadline is still an hour away.

Selig...if you have any decency you'd step in and veto this deal if its true that the Yanks are sending over 3.5 mill in cash and basically buying the player.

The only hold up is that Palmerio has to accept his no trade clause back to the team that he came up with. No idea who is involved. Its supposed to be announced at 1:00 in a press conference.

Graphic looks cool Spiff

How has he been doing?

After the Sox game I watched Eight Men Out on the IFC channel and damn as usual I got all pissed off at those bastards for throwing the game. Come on Sox...play to your ability and play hard and maybe you guys can end this curse

Escobar would be nice if Malone and someone else, maybe Ulacia could be the basis of it. Those would be the two guys I'd be willing to move right now along with Majewksi and some others. Pacheco, Reed, Honel, Cotts are untouchable. Notice Borchard isn't on that list...but it has to be for a real good player and a long term solution to do it.

I'd be willing to give up Malone. I'd prefer Malone going in a package to land Ponson. I'd play hardball with the Orioles and I think they've got most GM's to sour and at the last second I'd come in with an offer and say take it or leave it. Ponson isn't a short term acquisition, he's a long term one too.

He'll make a deal if a good deal is out there, I know that much. If it doesn't go down now, expect him to look at Chuck Finley or Kevin Appier or someone that will clear through waivers.
