I'd try to pick up Uribe or someone of that ilk to be a nice defensive utility guy as well but I doubt the Giants would be moving him.

I was an idiot. Might be the dumbest post I've ever made in Soxtalk history. I still like Soriano too. I like guys with speed and power. He clearly was a terrible signing though and is a huge baby.

QUOTE (SoxFan1 @ Jul 10, 2009 -> 04:12 PM) I really don't think it'd be a wise idea to move Alexei, not for Halladay at least. I understand moving Beckham to SS, but then we'd have to play Fields or maybe Nix at 3rd? Temp fix and in the off-season you sign Figgins to play 3B until the Cuban tank slides over there.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jul 10, 2009 -> 04:08 PM) http://www.examiner.com/x-5758-Chicago-Spo...or-Roy-Halladay That would be a no brainer of a deal, but one the Jays wouldn't do or at least I doubt they'd do it.

Get er done.

Of course I was saying its that stupid thing Kap and Soxy use and my girlfriend is like, huh, but I gave myself points anyway.

Ya Rescue Me has been awesome this season. I just like Dennis Leary.

I don't use a clip but I'll pick them to go shorter. Don't bite them at all. I do get narly hangnails from time to time though from basketball or I assume that is what it is.

Quentin was 1-4 with a run scored in yesterdays game.

QUOTE (SHIPPS @ Jul 10, 2009 -> 06:50 AM) Salmons being traded doesnt make sense.He was your backup in case you lost Ben. You lost Ben and now you are going to trade two more Guards? Unless your getting a young win player or two from Portland.

Cool stuff. Thanks for sharing that JPN.

QUOTE (ptatc @ Jul 10, 2009 -> 05:23 AM) Maybe they don't feel he is mentally ready. Maybe he loses composure at tough times. Maybe there isn't room ahead of him. There are many reasons other than numbers that they may feel he isn't ready. Organizations evaulate the talent not just the numbers from afar. To say there is not reason he should be there is somewhat short sighted. *Ding Ding Ding* I do think you'll see him promoted soon though but the Sox are taking the slow route with him for that precise reason. Mentally he's got a lot to learn and he's just not mature on the mound so to speak. Great arm though and his maturity isn't like bad immaturity, just that he has to work on his poise, etc.

I'd buy a solid gold rocket car and a solid gold server for the site. Oh and I'd still be a penny pincher.

Rumor for a Bulls/Portland/Utah 3 way trade. There are fillers but this is the gist of the rumors: Bulls get Boozer, Trade Hinrich, Tyrus, 1st rounder

This is shaping up to be a fun 2nd half. Now fans get your ass out there, the club is finally performing!!!

First off welcome aboard. I would hope we get Morgado, Thompson, and Jones signed. Thompson sounds promising and given he was a comp pick it would be a big mistake if we didn't get him signed (as we would not get another draft pick if he didn't sign). Morgado is a very high upside arm and again a high pick. Not the greatest production but I'd love to have him in here cause his stuff is impact stuff. Goodwin and Dane Williams (a guy you didn't list) are unlikely signing but it would be good if we got one of Jones/Goodwin/Williams and great if we got two, stellar if we got three.

QUOTE (baseball17 @ Jul 7, 2009 -> 04:40 PM) What's going on with charlie leesman? His numbers seem pretty good, I wonder why he hasn't moved to WS I think he'll be promoted shortly. He might be the best arm in Kanny. Yes, I'd be tempted to put him over Dex Carter although Carter has a really live arm too. Leesman's is just from the left side. Either way both are guys to watch.

QUOTE (maggsmaggs @ Jul 7, 2009 -> 05:25 PM) I think this is a big part of not hating the deal, but seriously, Pena is mediocre. Allen could have been in a bigger package or certainly netted you a better overall player than a 27-year-old reliever with average numbers. Relievers have a lot of trade value. Especially ones with set-up man stuff. I do think the Sox would have been better off using Allen in a bigger trade to net us a young corner outfielder though. But one of Phegley/Flowers/Viciedo will be at 1st long-term and I think two of the three will end up having better major league careers than Allen (if not all 3).

Pena has a great arm and Allen was overrated by a lot of people. Sox have a lot of guys that play 1st/3B and Pena is a young guy that fits and can replace one of Dotel/Linebrink. I liked ALlen but didn't love him like others did. Viciedo and Flowers both project much better and one of them will probably end up playing 1B. Plus you have Phegley and there is a guy named Paul Konerko whose been pretty good and still has at least a few good years left. Oh and did I mention 1st baseman aren't that difficult to find in general so again, it isn't that huge of a deal to trade a 1st base prospect unless he's a top 50 spect and Allen isn't that.

QUOTE (Jimbo's Drinker @ Jul 7, 2009 -> 01:43 PM) Whomever is doing the futuresox twitter updates is doing a splendid job!! Is that you Alex? Its a group of us. Probably 4 people in general. Myself, JPN, Alex, Ozzie, Dan...might be forgetting someone.

He'll get promoted shortly. He's not as mature so I think the Sox are taking things slowly with him.

The Bulls would than probably resign Boozer and than either trade Hinrich or Deng or just have push Salmons elsewhere as that combined with Miller and Tim Thomas expiring contracts would give Chicago enough room to make a run at one of the guards in the 2010 class. Chicago could than of course sign Salmons or Miller using Bird rights but they'd have to be willing to pay luxury tax too.

Boozer is obviously a whole lot better than Tyrus and Jerome James. The key is not preventing ourselves from getting Bosh. A healthy Boozer is a damn good player though, imo.

Congrats Marky!
