Strasburg will walk and Harper will be the next to fall victim of the Nats.

That was very nasty. Floyd is one of my favorite pitchers in all of baseball to watch. I really have a massive mancrush on him.

I wouldn't trade Gavin Floyd straight up for Roy Halladay. I'm not saying Floyd is better than Roy but that the money savings and the age and everything combined make Floyd far more valuable, imo. Plus if the Sox are willing to pay a pitcher 15M a year they can get an above average righty without giving up Gavin, imo.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 11, 2009 -> 05:00 PM) Does he know Blackburn has better numbers than any of our starters? That's a pretty dumb statement by some pretty dumb announcers. Blackburn has nasty movement. Nasty.

I f***ing love Floyd. Have I said it enough times that I think Floyd is the best starter we have. ERA under 2 since May 21st.

Luckily I was right about Gavin Floyd and I still think Floyd is going to be the ace of the Sox staff. He's so f***ing good and I love his ability to go deep into games.

I don't mean to be mean, but obviously not enough, I don't even know who he was. RIP though.

QUOTE (GreatScott82 @ Jul 11, 2009 -> 10:35 AM) Per Phil Rogers Gavin Floyd and Alexie Ramirez+ probably Flowers for Doc Halladay and Vernon Wells at half price. .. ??? Losing Floyd would hurt, he is young cheap and talented, i guess adding Wells would spell our CF issue for the next 5 seasons but then who would play 3B? I would do this deal if: A) Toronto includes Rolen instread of Wells. B) Halladay immediately signs an extension say 14-15 mill for for 3 seasons till 2012. Then the Sox could move Beckham to SS and insert Poreda into the rotation. This deal would be nice because you still keep Beckham and Poreda, which still gives the Sox a good blend of youth and veterans. Talk about a scary lineup: Pods CF Beckham SS Dye RF Thome DH Konerko 1B Rolen 3B Quentin LF Pierzynski C Getz 2B Buerhle, Halladay, Danks, Contreras, Poreda There is no f***ing way I trade Floyd for Halladay, none, end of story. Floyd is a cornerstone in that rotation and a f***ing stud.

I thought Bruno was funny but definately not for the faint of heart.

I would have traded BA for Francouer and taken a flier. At least Jeff has put up some semblance over major league numbers in his career. That said Jeff is probably a lost cause.

QUOTE (lostfan @ Jul 10, 2009 -> 04:33 PM) Above average left fielder? This was actually posted? I think LF is a garbage defensive position so I assumed a guy that is a good athlete with a strong arm would have been a good left fielder. In his defense he wasn't near as bad as some people would make you think. Offensively he's stunk though and the economy took a s***. I still say I looked at the deal as something to erupt a quiet fan base but even than it didn't work out. And in my defense I love wiry power hitters with speed.

QUOTE (PlaySumFnJurny @ Jul 10, 2009 -> 06:56 AM) Ron Zook hauls in a big catch for Illinois. http://yourseason.suntimes.com/football/16...llinois.article f***, I thought Iowa was going to snag him. Would have been a better fit given how Iowa uses its TE's.

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.
