QUOTE (DukeNukeEm @ Nov 13, 2008 -> 09:53 PM) This is a salary dump guys, $24 mil off the books for a scrap. It is however a pretty obvious sign KW is clearing up salary for something bigger, Aaron Poreda might want to pack his bags soon because were going to take on something big. Carlos Beltran? I'd love to trade Poreda now, as his stock is so much higher than it should be.

Sox got Betemit also

If's it just Swisher for Marquez, that's worse than the Marlins/Nationals trade from last week.

Marquez isn't one of the top 10 Yankees prospects for 2009.

QUOTE (Melissa1334 @ Nov 13, 2008 -> 09:45 PM) yea. bcuz thats what we did, gave him away. dumped salary i guess lol If we had to dump his salary, then we might as well have a fire sale.

QUOTE (SoxFan562004 @ Nov 13, 2008 -> 09:45 PM) More I think of it, the more I hate it... Swish was a solid OBP guy and the Sox are sorely lacking in that area. Now they only have Q and Thome who will more times than not give the lineup a solid AB taking a ton of pitches. Swish should have been hitting 1 or 2 all year, Ozzie didn't use him right. Hope KW has more up his sleeve (which I'm sure he does, I am going into 1st move of the post season panic mode) because starting Fields, Getz, and BA or GOD FORBID Owens doesn't quite do it for me I honestly think KW believes the window for this team to compete might be over, and that's why you hear names like Dye, Jenks, Swisher, and Konerko being thrown around.

Great, so we traded 3 of our top prospects for one year of terrible baseball and nothing in terms of prospects. This also means Konerko is going nowhere.

Marquez absolutely sucks. He K'd 33 in 80 innings last year.

This deal is nowhere close to being done.

QUOTE (kyyle23 @ Nov 13, 2008 -> 04:00 AM) HUUUUUUGE Comeback win by the Salukis tonite. Carlton Fay and Bryan Mullins were big contributors tonite. SIU vs Duke at Madison Square Garden tomorrow baby! They play next week, not tomorrow. Great comeback win...I can't wait to watch Dillard on tv.

You better get back at least one prospect that you know can be on your 25 man roster next season. Those Mets pitchers would be a disappointing return.

Cubs blogs are going nuts with a rumor that Peavy is being dealt for Theriot, Pie, and Marshall (and then Cubs would sign Furcal). Please, please don't be true!

Sloane needs to eat a hamburger...way too skinny. Ari's speech at the luncheon was golden.

QUOTE (SoxFan101 @ Nov 10, 2008 -> 03:54 AM) Again no he hasnt. Orton has really only had 2 stellar games and they were against 2 teams with brutal secondaries in Minny/Detroit. Other than that he has been average to below average. I guess people forget his brutal performance at Carolina.

Ballgame....Babich bent over and schooled on that 3rd down play.

Marty Booker has had a terrible game. He's not gone after any ball thrown to him aggressively. Nice call on that 2nd and 1...ugh!

Lovie is a f***ing dumbass....down 14 and trying a 48 yd fg into the wind.

I love Rex, but he's been disgraceful since that first drive. Hester and Maynard are worthless now, and Tillman sucks as well.

QUOTE (kyyle23 @ Nov 9, 2008 -> 07:04 PM) The play calling with Turner always goes from surprising and effective to completely stale and predictable between series Everyone in the world knows Rex is best down the field over the middle, and yet, they haven't thrown one yet in that direction.

Thabo is terrible...Cavs made that big run in the 4th when he was out there making dumb decision after dumb decision. Does he have more fouls than points this season?

Sounds like Cubs are going to get him, as the Padres would rather have a surplus of mediocre pitchers than actually get future studs. I'm convinced that Hendry has incriminating evidence on some of these GMs.

QUOTE (Tony82087 @ Nov 8, 2008 -> 12:28 AM) Is Wood A or B? I think A....I don't think he'd ever play for the White Sox.

QUOTE (Tony82087 @ Nov 8, 2008 -> 12:23 AM) There is a really solid chance Cordero isn't ready for Opening Day. Not a bad gamble, but not someone you want to count on. If Jenks really was traded, I'd give SFX a call about Wood. If Jenks was traded to the Mets, you'd probably see the Sox get Feliciano back in the trade and move Thornton to the closer role with Linebrink and Dotel as the set-up men.

QUOTE (Fantl916 @ Nov 8, 2008 -> 12:02 AM) i could see a scenario where we made that Javy trade to the Mets, sent Bobby and Broadway to Tampa for Sonnanstine and Wade Davis, and rolled with Thornton as our closer. Sonnanstine is awful...he'd get destroyed pitching at the Cell.
