QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Jul 29, 2013 -> 06:17 PM) Maybe someone with a 98% chance of bust. Another team's Jared Mitchell. Someone mentioned Tim Beckham earlier.

QUOTE (GreenSox @ Jul 29, 2013 -> 05:13 PM) I think your price on Quintana is high.commodity regardless, we've got to do something to fix the defense and offense. It's atrocious. And I think teams will give us a good package for Quintana. If that asking price is too high then we don't need to trade him. Young cheap quality SPs are the most valued commodity in baseball and should be treated as such.

140 people in trade winds. 80 in this thread. More exciting than actual baseball

QUOTE (flavum @ Jul 29, 2013 -> 03:35 PM) http://espn.go.com/chicago/mlb/story/_/id/...ing-jesse-crain Mods should update the title/op with that.

QUOTE (IowaSoxFan @ Jul 29, 2013 -> 03:14 PM) I think they definitely would in the right deal, though not to us for what we would send back. If it were a deal for Sale, then yes, I think Bogaerts could be had. Uh, you think?

QUOTE (Jake @ Jul 29, 2013 -> 02:37 post=) It is still relatively common for a pitcher to never be right again after TJS. Maybe 1 orecently 20. It's not a no-risk endeavor A lot higher that for the not the same pitcher odds. Wikipedia has an article on TJS and a notable pitcher section. A lot of those were done relatively recent and they certainly did not come back the same.

I will gladly claim Hahn made a terrible trade if he gives up Jake Peavy for a minor leaguer going through Tommy John surgery.

No thanks.

QUOTE (bbilek1 @ Jul 28, 2013 -> 09:06 PM) Oh how this pisses me off. We should eat his entire f***ing contract if we can bring in more young, controllable talent. I don't see what the hold up is. How is our payroll even going to surpass 100 mil next year? If the Sox eat 24 million for prospects, I would laugh so hard. Horrible f***ing idea.

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Jul 28, 2013 -> 06:40 PM) Bruce Levine sez Peavy brought 5 full suit cases on trip and feels today is the last day for Peavy with the Sox. . Pretty sure it's that. It was speculation.

Pretty sure that Bruce Levine thing is what I posted earlier

QUOTE (elwood5892 @ Jul 28, 2013 -> 06:58 PM) Thanks guys. I agree about the Oakland rumor as a smokescreen to get one or more teams to up their offers. I think it is looking more and more likely that Jake has pitched his last game for us. Ask your sources over at Fox Patrick.

Bruce Levine sez Peavy brought 5 full suit cases on trip and feels today is the last day for Peavy with the Sox.

I thought it started at 7 to be fair

Nah. We have to trade Peavy. Because reasons and I'm "tired of waiting".

QUOTE (Dunt @ Jul 27, 2013 -> 08:11 PM) Starting to get a bad feeling that nothing of consequence is going to happen here and Hahn has been overplaying his hand. Atleast they are a game away from being the second overall pick. You would make for a terrible gm.

Crain would be one of the fastest blocked players out there. With so many teams not sellers, we will get nothing for him in August.

QUOTE (SoxPride18 @ Jul 27, 2013 -> 04:45 PM) If they want Quintana, it'll be cost more than Peavy. A ton more. On another note, who isn't looking for cost controlled pitching? We have as much as anyone and we still look out for it.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jul 27, 2013 -> 03:17 PM) The Sox tried trading Paul Konerko for him that year. Well it wasn't 2010. That was the best season of his career. AZ claimed him the next year but I dont really think we tried trading him

QUOTE (kwill @ Jul 27, 2013 -> 06:00 AM) Question: If the Cards offered Tavares,Wong,Martinez along with some lottery picks for Sale and Alexi would you take it? I would just on the pure upside of the deal. That would be three top 50 prospects and would probably make the White Sox a top 10 farm system right off the bat. would be a horrible deal for us.

QUOTE (bbilek1 @ Jul 27, 2013 -> 07:24 AM) Only problem is Keppinger's average against LHP has dropped .173 from last year. Keppinger vs LHP - '12: .376/.402/.521 & '13: .203/.241/.270 Yeah he's got an OPS over .800 career. Not sure what has happened this year.

If we were actually capable of running a true platoon, maybe our third base issues could be solved.

QUOTE (GreenSox @ Jul 27, 2013 -> 05:10 AM) Good question. It's a horrible question. Do we have three young starters all exceeded anyones wildest expectations for each of them? Does he still have an amazing track record? Did he really make a guy from the Windy City Thunderbolts look competent in MLB for a couple months? Holy s***! The case for Cooper has never been stronger.

QUOTE (flavum @ Jul 27, 2013 -> 04:36 AM) I really hope Hahn puts a deadline on the Peavy stuff before the 30th. It would suck if he takes the mound for the Sox next Tuesday night. No rush

QUOTE (flavum @ Jul 27, 2013 -> 03:15 AM) Hmmmm... https://twitter.com/Jen_Royle/status/360945919182651392 Fired for his false info the other day. Jk. But deserves it's own thread if true. What a traitor.
