Buehrle>Wood

QUOTE(Chisoxfn @ Jun 1, 2005 -> 06:09 PM) You don't not acquire a guy because you have a 1st round draft pick in AA that plays the same position you'd be acquiring. Especially when that hitter has really struggled this entire season. I'd deal Fields, Tracey, and Sweeney for Chavez and if they wanted one more I'd do that. Of course it would probably be more like Fields, Sweeney, and Bmac or something alon those lines. That or they'd want Anderson. I'd rather deal Sweeney as opposed to Anderson, but I'd deal either. However they can't get Anderson and Bmac in the same package, imo. Bottomline, the Sox have a ton of prospects they could deal and definatley have the pieces to make this type of trade and than go from there. It would likely indicate that this is Paulies final season or at least one of Paulie/Thomas would be gone. This move makes a ton of sense, imo. Yes it makes sense, but the Nats still wouldn't make a deal with us....

QUOTE(Wedge @ Jun 1, 2005 -> 05:59 PM) Pods isn't the kind of guy that they'd want on an all-star team from the OF. I'm sure they're looking for a real masher/HR guy out there in LF, rather than a run producer/base stealer. Oh I know. I just take every chance I get to show off my homerism to the guy.

No love for Pod Squad? :headshake

Does anyone else get the feeling Ron made that whole entire thing up?

QUOTE(sox-r-us @ Jun 1, 2005 -> 05:48 PM) GET VINNY FREAKING CASTILLA INSTEAD DAMN IT If we get Chavez, we will have to trade Fields to some one. By getting Vinny, we create a short term solution for this year and also next year and then we let Fields take over Why spend so much money on Chavez and give up BMac? I would rather have Vinny, trade Crede to the Nats in the process (they will prefer a younger 3B anyways....they have to build for the future) and get Fields ready for the pipeline. Crede is anyways gone as soon as Borass gets a chance to screw JR. The Nats are still very well in it though. And also, its their first season. They are more than likely not going to have a fire sale, no matter how far out they are.

It's stupid to think of calling someone up right now. We are already to full on the roster. Gload has already been guaranteed a spot on the roster, so who does that mean is gone? El Duque for Walker is a lock at this point. Personally, I'd want a trade to happen, maby trade Kong. Although, a major trade would probaly take awhile to happen and not just a couple of days.

I've been lovin your posts as of late SSI. Keep it up.

We need some big time bullpen help, and fast.

Best game I have been to this year(although it was freezing at the park). So good I'm going back tommorrow. Lots of interesting things happened; Jermaine gets not 1 but 2 standing ovations during the game, Cruddy homers when his worst enemy goes to the game, and Marte got his ass booed off the field(and deservedly so). One question I have for those of whom who went: What was Mike Scoisca(sp) arguing with the umps in the 7/8th inning? Out group couldn't figure it out.

QUOTE(SoxFan1 @ May 29, 2005 -> 03:08 AM) Curious as to why it says "Deploderer" instead of Beuhrle>Wood on the left...? It's his work. He has the right to put his name on it.

... Awesome, just awesome.

Lineups?

How do the Cubs rape teams like this? I don't get it. I'm not even giving props to Hendry either. These trades you have to just run into, but the Cubs seem to do it a lot.

It may be just that time to get our Cubs injury translator out. Let's look at the possble outcomes: Bruised Elbow, may miss a start = Tommy John Surgery, out a year and a half Muscle Tighness, may miss a start = Torn Rotator Cuff, Career in doubt Inflamation, will miss 2 or 3 starts = Reconstructive sugery, out for the year Broken arm, out 2-3 months = Death

QUOTE(Jabroni @ May 27, 2005 -> 08:11 PM) Bingo... 1.) Willie Harris for Wes Helms trade. 2.) And now the big trade that the Cubs were supposed to make this week for a "significant bat." And Ozzie getting his new deal. Yes it is now the inevitable, but it certainly was not official.

Before I read 7 pages of posts, what exactly is going on and how did this get to 7 pages so quickly?

Gload, Thomas and El Duque all need spots. He will be gone within a month.

The Ninjas have been suspended from the chat, which means they must hijack the game thread

QUOTE(LosMediasBlancas @ May 26, 2005 -> 07:55 PM) I can't imagine what HS life woulda been like without there being girls at the school with me. Surrounded by other guys for like 7 hours a day? f*** that. It's not so bad. Defiantly a lot funner when you don't have guys trying to act different around girls around.

Fox vs. Collins always makes for interesting debate.

Kenny has just made so many moves that made people go "WTF", but for the most part, almost all of them worked out.

I haven't got past the 1st hill on the 1st level, in about 20 tries...

No way in hell would the A's do the Zito trade. Or the Padres trade for that matter.
