QUOTE(Adam G @ Jul 27, 2005 -> 12:31 PM) Konerko and Everett? For Manny? LMAO. Just the fact that you would think Everett would ever go back to Boston is laughable. Not to mention the fact that it would make no sense for the Red Sox seeing how they would be recieving nothing of substance in return.

QUOTE(OilCan @ Jul 27, 2005 -> 06:37 AM) 2) From a salary standpoint IMO, wouldn't Overbay save the Sox some money? Does anyone know what Overbay's salary is? If I'm the Brewers, I would ask for any of the following to make the deal happen: *Ross Gload, to take over 1b, or Paul Konerko if the Sox were willing to throw in some cash in the trade. *Casey Rogowski *Ryan Sweeney *Sean Tracey *Ray Liotta Overbay is making 446K this season and is protected for the next 2 seasons. Where as Konerko is making 8.75M and will be making 10+ in the FA market. The Brewers would have absolutly NO interest in Gload and especially Konerko. The only reason they would be willing to trade Overbay in the first place would be to open up the spot for Prince Fielder. Which also means they wouldn't want Casey Rogowski They could be interested in a Ryan Sweeney or Sean Tracey/Ray Liotta but more likely would want Brian Anderson/Brandon McCarthy, they're trading good major league talent and expect more polished, further along, higher touted prospects in return for thier starting fistbaseman.

QUOTE(sin city sox fan @ Jul 27, 2005 -> 10:59 AM) I don't even want Marte traded. We all know how much Ozzie values using a lefty when it's a supposed advantage (an advantage that I believe is often overinflated).....so if Marte's not on the staff, it leaves Walker as the only option to replace him (unless we pick up another team's castoff like Embree who is equally as bad). Damaso is not the best reliever in the game....but he's still an effective left hander (a very valuable commodity in today's game). Ozzie has lost a lot of confidence in Marte seeing how he can't throw a f***ing strike to a lefty. Walker would not be called up if we traded Marte, KW would swing another deal and pick up a reliable Lefty (Villone/Eyre). KW is aware that Kevin Walker sucks and is not gonna let him see the light of day during the stretch run.

QUOTE(Steve9347 @ Jul 27, 2005 -> 12:01 PM) our need for someone who can contribute daily at 3B (not just the occasional clutch hit,0 far outweighs our need for a 1B this year. Give me Huff... But this means you want to get away from what has gotten us this far, our defense. Crede is f***ing stellar at third with the glove and is a big reason for a lot of runners not crossing the plate because of his defensive play. Huff is brutal at 3B that's why Pinella pulled him from third half way through last year and he's been playing OF/1B/DH exclusively since then. He's a huge step down from Crede with the glove. Give me Overbay, his left handed bat in the middle of this lineup would be huge.

Manny is NOT getting traded during the season. This is like the 5th time he's demanded a trade, the Red Sox put him on waivers 2 years ago and found that NOONE is interested in him and his ridiculous contract. The only possibility would be him leaving in the offseason, no way in hell he gets dealt right before the stretch run.

QUOTE(SoxFan1 @ Jul 27, 2005 -> 11:41 AM) f*** Burnett. If the Marlins Gm want to be a little b**** about it and try to have everything his way, KW should make him kiss his ass. Go get Schmidt KW! You sound like a fool. Right now the Marlins are making a push for the playoffs, they're 4.5 out of the WC and 5.5 out of the division. Last year they kept Pavano all the way through the season to make a playoff run when they could have easily traded him and got something for him instead of losing him to Free agency in the offseason. To call Larry Beinfest a little b**** for trying to get what HE wants and not giving in and taking a lesser package for a player that he doesn't even have to trade is just stupid. He's in the position of power right now. Any Burnett deal should/will go through under his terms. Other teams Red Sox/Orioles/Tigers are more desperate to acquire Burnett than the Marlins are to dump him. And you don't like the price tag for Burnett but you think it's a good idea to go after Schmidt? Sabean's going to want more for Schmidt than Beinfest wants for Burnett. That makes NO sense. Beinfest is doing his f***ing job, he's trying to get what he wants for his player or he's not gonna trade him. To say he's acting like a little b**** just shows a lack of intelligence and a lack of maturity.

QUOTE(ChWRoCk2 @ Jul 27, 2005 -> 09:52 AM) i was at the brewers game yesterday and overbay hit a homer and singled, he seems to make contact and hit the ball better konerko but i still dont get where we would put him, and thats the problem when you have a full infield and everett also as a DH possibility. cragi was right brewers fans loved him there, every time he stepped up to the plate they all held up big O's or made one with their arms and kept saying O constantly. We could use another lefty power bat the only problem is where to put him and what to do when a guy like frank thomas gets back, i guess my only question is, can he play third or would we plan to put konerko at third like the padres putting nevin to catcher? Wow. I don't really know what to say. Are you a Cub fan? Konerko at 3rd? Talk about no f***ing range for your thirdbaseman. He hasn't played there since he was with the Dodgers. There's no way in hell he ever goes back. Overbay can't play 3B. If he could the Brewers would put him there. You don't just move players around like that, a player cant learn/relearn a position in the pinch. There's a good chance Frank's not coming back this year. Everett has been good for us, he would go back to his role of subbing at DH/LF/RF. Overbay would play 1B/DH and Konerko would play 1B/DH which ever they felt more comfortable with. Frank: DL Konerko: 1B/DH Overbay: 1B/DH Everett: sub DH/LF/RF

QUOTE(rangercal @ Jul 27, 2005 -> 04:14 AM) AHHH we are being attacked by the pointless poster!!!

QUOTE(forrestg @ Jul 27, 2005 -> 01:52 AM) San francisco giants Tomko could be available.. In the past he's been great in the 2nd half of the season he's 15 and 5 in the second half of the last two seasons with a 3.80 era. there's some trade rumors between the Phillies and Angels making inquiries. Are you high? Tomko talked so much s*** about A.J. There's no way in hell he's comming here ever. He can have fun in AAA for the Giants.

QUOTE(whitesox91403 @ Jul 27, 2005 -> 01:22 AM) Someone correct me if I'm wrong. But we traded gary Glover to Anaheim for Schoenweis in 2003. I think Scott Eyre was long gone before then. The Sox traded Scott Eyre to the Blue Jays for Gary Glover in 2002.

QUOTE(SoxFan1 @ Jul 26, 2005 -> 11:24 PM) Meh, I am not putting any more speculation into these rumors. I will believe nothing until the deal is DONE. Does this mean you won't be posting until there's a trade?

QUOTE(SoxFan1 @ Jul 26, 2005 -> 11:28 PM) Wait... Since when does Red Roof Inn have internet???? Or do you have a laptop with wireless internet? OMG

QUOTE(chimpy2121 @ Jul 26, 2005 -> 11:07 PM) Hotel near the ballpark? I cant believe you would think someone is lying about being at a game? Look at the source.

QUOTE(YASNY @ Jul 26, 2005 -> 11:00 PM) From everything I've heard out of the Brewers, Overbay never has been on the market. That doesn't mean that he won't be traded, though. According to some Brewer fans Overbay WILL be traded this year.

QUOTE(PWSox87 @ Jul 26, 2005 -> 07:25 PM) Is that because of when M.B. hit him? Thats too bad, he is a very good young player Travis Hafner is 28 years old. I wouldn't exactly call him a good young player.

QUOTE(Winning Ugly @ Jul 26, 2005 -> 09:37 PM) I was checking box scores, and I saw this: Top 2nd: Cleveland - J. Liefer doubled to right center, B. Broussard scored, A. Boone out at home Jeff Freakin Liefer??? LMAO! I thought he was flippin burgers by now. Jeff Leifer was in the AAA allstar game. He's a very good AAAA player.

I f***ING WON!! end of story.

I don't see why any team would want Borchard in any trade, I just don't see what value he has.

QUOTE(SoxFan1 @ Jul 26, 2005 -> 05:18 PM) Toss him in the deal as an added incentive! GET RID OF BORCH! There's no need to just ditch Borchard, he's not costing us s*** at Charlotte. Just let him play there until the end of there year and part ways with him at the end of the season.

QUOTE(SoxFan1 @ Jul 26, 2005 -> 05:14 PM) Agreed. Either way, we can trade on of the OF propects not named Chris Young and still have Young and Anderson/Sweeney to fall back on in the future. Shoot, KW should try to persuade Melvin to take Borchard..... Melvin's not retarded.

QUOTE(SoxFan1 @ Jul 26, 2005 -> 05:14 PM) I think you should update your sig...... I will after the game tonight. I'm not really in the mood right now.

My dream trade would be Sweeney and Tracey for Overbay. Though I do know that is unlikely I would be beyond happy if we could pull it off.

QUOTE(SoxFan1 @ Jul 26, 2005 -> 05:05 PM) Here's another question: If we switched Brian Anderson and Bmac, would you do it then? Anderson/Marte for Burnett?? BMac/Tracy for Overbay?? Does it really make a difference? Burnett is not coveted unless there is an extension. I'd rather keep BMac than Anderson so if you're going to make a trade for Overbay I would perfer it be Anderson/Sweeney and Tracey for Overbay.

Bat = Overbay? Hell Yeah.

QUOTE(JoeH33 @ Jul 26, 2005 -> 04:28 PM) The only Brewer of note I really anticipate seeing traded anytime soon is Lyle. I can see this trade (if it happens) working out well for both sides seeing that Overbay is much more valuable as trade bait than he is sitting on the bench once Prince comes up for good. I'll admit I really dont know alot about many of the Sox prospects rumored to come to Milwaukee in this deal but if we could get a stud pitching prospect (McCarthy) and a long term solution at CF (Anderson) I'd be all for it. -Also I just wanted to mention that went down to Chicago over the weekend to see the Sox/Red Sox play on Sunday and had a great time at the Cell. Although I still like Miller Park better, I thought the large standing room area in the outfield was a really nice. One of my main problems with MP is that there really isn't much space to just hang out an watch the game if you dont feel like staying put in your seats the whole time. I love Miller Park. I wish the Cell could have a concourse like that. I love the Cell too but Miller>>Cell.
