Danks for Middlebrooks? I'll get my car ready to drive John to the airport.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 25, 2013 -> 02:47 AM) Stoney and Hawk hinting that White Sox and Rangers possibly making a deal? Rios

Danks put up a sub 3.50 ERA once. At best he is paid market value and no reason for us to take the 15 million per year risk to find out if he's even that.

I pray to god someone claims Danks.

Funny the high amount of readers in this thread. Hi press?

QUOTE (bbilek1 @ Jul 24, 2013 -> 09:22 PM) If money is an issue with STL, we should pay Peavy's contract and take in more talent. I know it would never happen but to me it is entirely practical. We have more money than we will spend why don't we use it to create young talent. Ultimately, I think Jaker goes to Boston but I think the FO should do everything in their power to have Matt Adams as our OD first baseman next year. Whatever the cost. And effectively pay a prospect or two 18 million dollars or so? Uh no that would be just horrible.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jul 24, 2013 -> 10:06 PM) I'm going to be skeptical until it happens, the Sox holding on to Peavy would almost exactly fit with what happened in 2007 the last time they stunk it up. Yeah, I fond Soxtalk's confidence in him getting dealt pretty funny right now. it could still happen but it is 50/50 at best

QUOTE (SoxPride18 @ Jul 24, 2013 -> 07:32 PM) A's could be dark horse team for Peavy says Jon Heyman. They were the runner up for Garza fwiw

We've played the most one run games in baseball and lost a good chunk of those. Even just remotely average hitting would go a long ways.

QUOTE (beck72 @ Jul 24, 2013 -> 01:42 PM) team would take Danks, even if you wanted to dump him-which I don't. But he's shown flashes of returning to form. If he keeike he has the rest of 201here's no reason he can't return to his "old" self. The key is how to best fix the roster, without gutting key pieces. Quintana has shown he's the real deal. These deadlines deals won't do it by themselves. IMO, Santiago could bring back the piece (s) to finish the rebuild, retool, whatever. Danks rebounding next year could make him the Peavy of this deadline. I agree no team is taking Danks unfortunately. I really really don't want us to trade Santiago though. I had this argument yesterday but what he has done in his first 17 starts with his ERA and elite strikeout rate is nothing short of top prospect material. If our defense gets better and he develops a little more, we are talking ace material. I cant see how we possibly get fair value for him

QUOTE (beck72 @ Jul 24, 2013 -> 01:29 PM) Danks has no trade value. Yet he is a great bet to return to his prior form, next year, Which is a higher upside than Santiago. Santiago has far more trade value than Danks. Even after this deadline, and the sox manage good returns from Peavy, et al, the sox offense will still need to improve to contend in 2014-which the sox probably can with the right moves. A Santiago trade could net the pieces to make that possible, without killing the SP. Dumping Danks at his all time lowest value makes no sense, unless the sox just want to cut costs. It frees up 45 million dollars to spend elsewhere, which anyone should want over the risk of seeing if John Danks can ever be decent again.

To go to bed or not go to bed

QUOTE (DirtySox @ Jul 24, 2013 -> 04:07 AM) They have plenty of pitching prospects. Owens, Barnes, Webster, Ranaudo, Workman, Britton etc. I would love Cecchini but I have a feeling that it's wishful thinking. Other than that I like Swihart and Mookie. Not huge on Brentz, Iglesias, or Marrero though. If their third rated prospect and number 41 in MLB is wishful thinking then we need to start looking elsewhere.

QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Jul 24, 2013 -> 02:26 AM) I just turned on the game. Looks like I've missed a fun one, eh?

QUOTE (The Ginger Kid @ Jul 24, 2013 -> 02:19 AM) Wrong thread, I know, but Dodgers could use one more starter. They should also not use Marmol

QUOTE (Jake @ Jul 24, 2013 -> 02:42 AM) Dan Hayes is awful Fixed.

QUOTE (iamshack @ Jul 24, 2013 -> 02:28 AM) I didn't know we had prominent scouts According to the other thread that's what Kenny is up to these days.

LOL at Marmol

QUOTE (Chilihead90 @ Jul 24, 2013 -> 01:04 AM) 41,000, but there is NO f***ING WAY that was representative of what I saw in the seats. I was there last night, and it looked about 20-22K. http://www.cbssports.com/mlb/gametracker/r...0130722_DET@CHW "Attendance - 1" I was there think there was a little more than 22k but you're right, certainly not 41k. That's likely a placeholder, as it is max capacity. I don't think they announced it for whatever reason.

QUOTE (beck72 @ Jul 24, 2013 -> 12:32 AM) Supposedly, the Red Sox, Detroit, and the Dodgers were also looking at K Rod. Make Detroit really really desperate.

QUOTE (Noonskadoodle @ Jul 24, 2013 -> 01:27 AM) Tons of scouts watching Rios tonight. Base knock!!! And stolen base #21

Thanks
