QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 20, 2009 -> 08:31 PM) I think he's a great #3 hitter and could be a multiple time all-star if he moves to 2nd base I've always agreed with you on everything on Slayer, except I want him at the 2 spot.

YES

QUOTE (Stan Bahnsen @ Jul 20, 2009 -> 04:37 PM) Actually, I think that in half of the remaining 25% of games, we'll see Nix in LF against lefties. Lefty or righty doesn't matter too much with Q, so resting him vs. a lefty is no biggie. Agreed. I have 0 problem with this move especially considering Wise can steal a base late in games. You lose that defensive replacement, but if this means Jayson Nix gets more at bats now, and who can play LF/RF, then I don't see how anyone can argue this. That kid has shown some flashes this year. And Josh is a disaster in LF, so having him play 3B/1B/DH is fine. Getz will probably man 2B more often now.

Outstanding. QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Jul 20, 2009 -> 03:34 PM) That cannot be real. You should be used to your wife saying that Steven.

QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Jul 20, 2009 -> 11:14 AM) Red Sox. I honestly don't hate any of our division rivals, I want them to lose more than any other teams but I don't hate them. The Red Sox on the other hand, I despise more than any other franchise in sports. Preach. Totally agree.

QUOTE (Jenks Heat @ Jul 20, 2009 -> 04:27 PM) Coming from a big Brian Anderson fan, I have no problem with this move. Not a problem here either. Q is back.

God damn it's good seeing Q back. This presence alone makes our lineup even deeper.

QUOTE (chisoxfan09 @ Jul 20, 2009 -> 01:21 PM) OK my bad. That is hwy I am a rookie. LOL Looks like Balta is learning from me with the ol' pull your finger quotes.

Just don't have a heart attack on your way down the raft tomorrow Jim.

QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Jul 19, 2009 -> 10:20 PM) I was going to say Santana with out looking at any stats, so glad to see that the stats back that up. Ditto. Him and Brandon Webb instantly popped in my head.

QUOTE (Palehosefan @ Jul 19, 2009 -> 10:10 PM) If you want to look at it from a glass half empty point of view, which I do for the moment... Pena is 27 years old and has had 3 mediocre/bad seasons in the majors and 1 good season. IF Cooper can fix him and he becomes a reliable set-up man, then I will be fine with the trade. I still wouldn't as far as a "value" standpoint. I said this in the trade thread below my sig. I really hope Pena can turn into the RH Matt Thornton, but I still wouldn't like the deal even if he did as I've stated. There's no secret I've said this is the only deal I've ever hated from him. Every deal I liked from KW even if others didn't. (there is still a few of us who defend the Swisher deal FYI)

QUOTE (Tony82087 @ Jul 19, 2009 -> 08:32 PM) Established, back of the bullpen power arms can be much harder to find then a DH prospect with a nice stroke. I understand your point but try not to also downgrade Allen in the process Tony. It was a brutal deal, people need to move on though.

QUOTE (beautox @ Jul 19, 2009 -> 05:21 PM) black stays in the game, limping back to the bag Wound up leaving after the inning. Mitchell K's in his second at bat.

QUOTE (SHIPPS @ Jul 19, 2009 -> 03:45 PM) I just wanna know if you are the same Gene Honda Civic that emails B&B with awesome emails on the radio. Have a good one by the way. You haven't been around long enough to know he is the legendary Cheat, Jeff. Or you have.. just forgot. He still lurks, hopefully Cheat can post some more and bring another fellow ST poster from the golden days out of the closet. Happy B-Day though bro.

Mitchell with his first BB in professional ball. Continues to show that discipline/eye at the plate. Of course... it's only a walk which some people hate. QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Jul 19, 2009 -> 04:54 PM) Also interesting... Justin Greene hit 3rd in the Kanny lineup instead of leadoff yesterday, and today isn't even in the lineup. Did he maybe get promoted and we haven't heard about it yet? FutureSox All Over It.

QUOTE (knightni @ Jul 19, 2009 -> 04:31 PM) "Flirting with 300" Is that 30 very hot chicks? Well he nailed 10 of them who were stunning, and the other 20 were decent to meh, so he's hitting a legit homerun 3 out of every 10 at bats. BTW Steve, you suck for starting this thread basically jinxing Slayer today.

QUOTE (SoxFan1 @ Jul 19, 2009 -> 01:34 AM) Jon Link, Jhonny Nunez, Fernando Hernandez, Carlos Torres, Derek Rodriguez, Adam Russell... If you're not going to use him, send him to AAA and let him continue working as a SP. I was thinking of those guys as well.... until the sox traded Brandon Allen away to get Tony Pena, so I'm thinking the org. doesn't have any confidence in the others/aren't high on the relievers/or don't think the younger pitchers are quite ready yet.

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Jul 19, 2009 -> 12:55 AM) Wait, I don't think anyone thought Posey was going to fall to the Sox pick. I remember gushing over the thought of Posey falling, in fact, Posey "fell" to the Giants IIRC. Jason Castro was the catcher everyone was surprised went as high as he did (to the Astros). Castro has been exceptional in the minors thus far as well. God damn Jas you are correct. I had them both confused. It was Castro. He is the one who is making alot of people look stupid so far.

QUOTE (BearSox @ Jul 18, 2009 -> 11:01 PM) Buster Posey has put up some awesome numbers in the minors. The future is bright in San Francisco. He and SF are making alot of people look stupid so far. Many scouts, analyst, and many people here (inc. myself) thought he was picked way too high/alot higher than he was projected to fall. SF scouts saw something in him to think otherwise, and so far.. he's showing what they saw.

Holmberg with a nice outing in relief for Bristol.

QUOTE (Kalapse @ Jul 18, 2009 -> 05:36 PM) Thank you lord. You must have gotten a new job or something you black asshole.

1.5 back b****es.

Bobby's era was 7+ in his career vs these guys. That's probably gonna rise a bit.

Fastball strike 3 (**throw's a curve**) Thank god Mark Grace is in the booth.

QUOTE (knightni @ Jul 18, 2009 -> 05:28 PM) Jenks looking rusty? He's been terrible in his career versus the Orioles. One of those teams that has a pitcher's number.
