fathom

QUOTE (greg775 @ Jul 31, 2010 -> 08:00 PM) Yeah, he was great. I don't understand why some want Castro to play a lot more. He's great in his current role. Yeah, I don't know why I wouldn't want our hottest bat in the lineup more.

Yeah, I think it's more likely Sanchez was traded for Hart or Bautista

QUOTE (chw42 @ Jul 31, 2010 -> 08:21 PM) Wow, so we just got Jackson for the hell of it? KW and Cooper wanted Jackson

QUOTE (Frank_Thomas35 @ Jul 31, 2010 -> 07:05 PM) Where did you hear Scott to La? on mlbtraderumors

Free Castro!

QUOTE (nitetrain8601 @ Jul 31, 2010 -> 08:03 PM) Honestly, I'd offer Morel for Dunn before I give up Day. of course

Dodgers are going after Luke Scott, which could signify they intend to trade Manny.

Nats will definitely offer him arbitration

QUOTE (iamshack @ Jul 31, 2010 -> 07:30 PM) The Rangers traded for Jorge Cantu...did you notice that? Isn't Cantu much better thank Kotsay?

QUOTE (SoxFan562004 @ Jul 31, 2010 -> 07:19 PM) all depends on how rotations stack up, with Danks, Floyd and MB and the pen ready to roll the Sox can beat anybody, especially in a 5 game, not favorites, but not ridiculous underdogs. Also, if they happen to face NYY MB and Danks help neutralize Berkman because he has been terrible against lefties this year. Yankees got Kearns to face LHP. Berkman will not be facing LHP, and neither will Granderson.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Jul 31, 2010 -> 07:15 PM) I will be disappointed if nothing gets done, but this is by no means the end of the world See, I agree with this as well

QUOTE (iamshack @ Jul 31, 2010 -> 07:04 PM) Man, you and J4L are almost impossible right now....you guys are just unfair. Yes, we should have signed Thome. But that's over with. I don't know what you want out of Kenny right now. These rentals aren't worth what teams are asking for and yet you insist that we land one of these rentals. The Sox should have never been in the position they're in today. When they went with the DH by committee, they said that if it didn't work, they could then acquire someone at the deadline. The thing is, hearing everything about KW makes it seem like he knows more than anyone that he needs to find another bat.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Jul 31, 2010 -> 05:58 PM) I'm not giving KW credit for being interesting and making things fun. You gotta get s*** done. And it's looking more and more like I only upgrade is a guy with an ERA over 5 and just overall mediocre pitcher. Agreed, at the end of the day, being close to deals doesn't mean anything. He needs to get something done, or him and Ozzie deserve even more heat for their decisions during this last offseason.

I really hope KW didn't put all of his eggs into the Berkman/Dunn/Manny baskets. All three of them were huge longshots.

Dodgers telling Gammons that Manny Ramirez will not be traded

149 minutes balta

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jul 31, 2010 -> 05:10 PM) Wow. He's actually hitting .154 than the break. And .097 for his last 8. That's impressive. We need to hook him up with Barbaro's trainer. Fixed

Actually, Ozzie would love having Manny on the team. Don't forget that Manny would be playing for another contract.

QUOTE (WCSox @ Jul 31, 2010 -> 05:03 PM) I'll pass. He's injury-prone (and currently injured), he's declined significantly, he can't play defense, he has a bad attitude, and he's a former PED user. I like Jones better than Manny. Ironic that you talk about liking Jones more than Manny while saying Manny was a former PED user.

QUOTE (SoxFan562004 @ Jul 31, 2010 -> 05:00 PM) I have a feeling the Sox would have Dunn right now if KW was intent on doing that I have a feeling you're underestimating how crazy Rizzo is.

QUOTE (justBLAZE @ Jul 31, 2010 -> 05:58 PM) it seems like you're trying to convince yourself to the trade I'm good with it...anything would be an upgrade over seeing Kotsay. I just hope we don't trade Viciedo.

Give the Dodgers Morel in the deal, but no one better than that.

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Jul 31, 2010 -> 05:52 PM) Why is he on the DL? He's pregnant

Hopefully Viciedo is in the lineup.

Get Kelly Johnson instead!
