Buehrle>Wood

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.

QUOTE (GreenSox @ Jul 26, 2013 -> 11:20 PM) Finally a suggestion from an intelligent Boston Blogger. Red Sox Would Receive: SP Jake Peavy White Sox Would Receive: P Anthony Ranaudo, 3B Garin Cecchini, C Christian Vazquez. http://www.overthemonster.com/2013/7/25/45...-for-jake-peavy Meh

QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Jul 26, 2013 -> 03:28 AM) Hey at least that's only a 40 percent k rate! Obviously Rienzo has been ridiculous as of late but I'm curious if there was a reason he got off to such a bad start this season? Back on the roids.
