Poreda/White Sox benefit from all of this
Well, first it was already reported/stated that it was Poreda, Richard and the other two PTBNL were pitchers. And second I doubt the Pads would want a 1B spect especially since they have a couple of them already in Blanks and Dykstra along with AGon who is still in his prime. Beckham actually woulda made the most sense for them since they are ridiculously thin on middle IFs (or just infielders for that matter) but of course we all know Slayer is probably the most untouchable prospect in our system. (and rightfully so.. has a real good chance of becomming a superstar)

Who do you root for tomorrow night?
Won't make me hate the Cubs any less. I'm not mad at Peavy as much as some/most cause I expected him to do what he did, and I can respect his decision enough. Hopefully the Padres win.. though I can definitely see Peavy struggle alot (esp. mentally) from all the trade chaos.

Who are your CF of choice?
I look at it is what Pods does that Wise can't do and what Wise does that Pods can't do. I can think of much more of what Wise does better than the latter. Obviously BA is the best option, but I'd rather see Dweezy here if I to choose who can do more with the bat, defensively, versitility and even the arm strength.

Peavy Rejects Sox Offer; Deal Now Dead
Honestly like qwerty said this might be a huge blessing for us. Something we can look back on in a couple years and thank the lord we didn't make that trade for Peavy. I also hope this doesn't effect Richard or Poreda too much and they see how they are good enough that other teams want them. You never know what can go through a young guy's mind regardless of the professionalism they have to show.

Ditto and I don't blame the man. Like I said earlier, he's getting paid regardless and I'm sure he's looking out for his family and he loves the city of San Diego. Sure he loves Chicago, but he wants to stay in the National League. I'm sure also he hears the media outlook of the southside compared to the northside which doesn't help. Even him having to call Linebrink about Ozzie and the org. wasn't helping our causes as well. Perhaps if were in it, we'll revist this during the deadline. I just hope now the sox have another plan whether to still compete or just rebui..er... retool a bit.

I knew this was going to happen. Hell I called it a couple hours ago. I'm surprised many are shocked by his decision.

I said it before, some of you should really eat crow for bashing the original poster on the main site about this deal earlier.

In a player's eye, that sometimes doesn't matter. I seen players turn down a legit 1st place club for years just to stay with their teams for sometimes family, teammates, money or the city. Everybody is different. Not saying Jake would do that cause he has already stated that he loves Chicago and prefers the Cubs, but just to think he had to talk to Linebrink about the organization and specifically Ozzie had to persuade him originally.

And still get a no decision in a loss. But I feel alittle more optimistic about it now. He loves Chicago just that "wrong side" always gets thrown around by the mdeia which pisses me off.

They really love Richard.. I know Poreda is icing on the cake, and those 2 PTBNL (not accurate at all from Ely from what I heard) should be interesting considering they are pitchers. Looks like the Slayer, Flowers, Allen, Shelby, Gartrell, Reterford rumors can now be put to rest.

He'll still be made in SD regardless. Is going to another s***ty team away from your family really worth it?
-
Peavy Rejects Sox Offer; Deal Now Dead
I HIGHLY doubt Peavy accepts a trade to us. Neither does most Padres fans.

I'm hearing one of the PTBNL is John Ely though not sure how accurate that is.

Ya it looks like the Twins aren't too happy losing two games against us and wanted to just ass rape us in this game.

I'll say it again. Some here still should still eat crow for ripping the poster on the main site for originally posting this deal.
