QUOTE (The Ginger Kid @ Jul 23, 2013 -> 04:31 PM) Adams strike anyone else as someone who's going to battle weight issues? I can't think of any major leaguers who couldn't control their weight well enough to hurt themselves considering they have a whole training staff dedicated to keeping them healthy and the whole " I can make millions of $ if I don't stuff my face " thing going for them. We hear about Fielder and Cabrera , know how big Cecil Fielder got, see ST pics of Cabrera looking fat and yet they produce year after year. So you're just going to worry about a perceived problem with a guy now ?

http://www.chicagotribune.com/videogallery...in-juggling-act Cooper talking about Crain says if everything goes we'll we see Crain 28th, 29th, 30th without a rehab assignment. Cutting it very close and that's best case scenario.

QUOTE (Jake @ Jul 23, 2013 -> 04:02 PM) I'd be tickled s***less about that trade. I'd feel the same way about Wong/Adams/Kelly, which might be easier to swing with the StL fanbase Who wouldn't ? We get rid of 2 guys over 30, a whole lot of salary, get younger and a big middle of the lineup bat. I think if both Lexi and PV go to the Cards ,Sox will include money and also a prospect if need be to get it done. Absolutely have to have Adams . Everyone else is secondary. This happens I don't care who else is traded. This is the one like Neo was The One.

http://www.cbssports.com/mlb/blog/jon-heym...l-peavy-suitors Not unexpected that Heyman says Red Sox and Cards emerging as top suitors of Peavy possibly with Az in the mix. That's all we've been talking about here. Peavy and Alexei makes so much sense to the Cards its scary .

Are you sure you haven't started drinking again ? Your back in poop mode. In the spirit of this thread I will say how good a deal with multiple partners would be . A nice old fashioned 3 way. Oh yeaaaaaaah !!

Sore hip flexor for Miggy.

QUOTE (Heads22 @ Jul 22, 2013 -> 06:46 PM) It'd be so incredibly huge for him to take this job and run with it.....hopefully in a couple of years we see him catching Carlos Rodon on our way back to a division title. 20-1 against the Sox getting Rodon and becoming a ML starter.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 22, 2013 -> 03:30 PM) I liked the original trade that was rumored much more where they were getting Sardinas and Ramirez. Grimm is garbage. And Edwards is a 40 something round draft pick that makes Gio Gonzales look like a big guy.

QUOTE (Baron @ Jul 22, 2013 -> 02:55 PM) He said GM's actually like Peavy's deal more because of the extra year. This was surprising to him because he said he would rather go after the cheaper rental. He said Alex Rios is actually very well thought of around the league and one blip on the radar isnt going to affect him. He said Crain needs to pitch before somebody probably makes an offer for him. Cheaper monetarily but they gave up a player per month for him if they make the post season because of him. If not it's even more. Huge over pay. Yes envious that it couldn't be Peavy.

QUOTE (GoGoSox2k2 @ Jul 22, 2013 -> 01:50 PM) Garza scratched tonight. likely deal to rangers. per rosenthal.. sorryy cant copy twitter link on cell Heard it too just now. Crap .

QUOTE (Eminor3rd @ Jul 22, 2013 -> 08:44 AM) Yeah, the market is very good right now for Peavy. I think we could get a top 50, considering at least three teams will be bidding after Garza moves. I keep hearing the D'backs arent in the mix for Peavy but Kevin Towers drafted him and they aren't in the upper echelon of NL teams. Peavy could be a difference maker there.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jul 22, 2013 -> 07:57 AM) If you don't get what you want for Jake Peavy, you bring him back. You still have the winter to deal him, if that is what you decide you want to do. If nothing else, you still have jake Peavy. The Sox aren't often in a position where they are looking to trade one of the most in demand pitcher in a given market. The offers for him should be good enough to trade him. Strike while the iron is hot.

I already said it wasn't going to happen so by workable I meant a trade with Tx. The only one I said I actually wanted was Adams. I also said that's what Boston probably would give up not that I want it. They're talking like they won't give up prospects but if they give any up they'll part with those 2. I like Iglesias because he's got a very good glove but no sense getting him while we still have Alexei. So your problems should be gone.

QUOTE (hi8is @ Jul 21, 2013 -> 10:23 PM) Bummer. Since starting the TPSM campaign - we've won twice. s***. Increasing those trade values silly !

QUOTE (bucket-of-suck @ Jul 21, 2013 -> 06:58 PM) Don't overlook Texas as a landing spot for JFP...not sayin', just sayin'. I said all along a Peavy and Rios to Tx deal was what I was looking for but i wanted a boatload back . Profar and Martin but thats never going to happen but its very workable. Cards are workable but Adams is what I want. Lynn's been terrible lately . Bostons scraping the bottom of the barrel now and trying to pretend their pitching spects can perform well enough but I don't buy it. I think they'd part with Middlebrooks and/or Ingelsias who's performed well for them but MiL track record is no hit all field and they have a better SS prospect than him any way.

Nice jobs by Troncoso and Veal.

Dunn makes contact . Error sac fly Tank. 3-1

QUOTE (Jake @ Jul 21, 2013 -> 12:44 PM) Morel is just not making the plays on defense He's had some real bullets hit within reach but not distinguishing himself thats for sure.

QUOTE (Jake @ Jul 21, 2013 -> 12:18 PM) lol I love when Hawk trashes the haters That McGrath article he's talking about wasnt all that insulting to Hawk. Said his story about Marciano couldnt be verified, which is true unless you read between the lines and you think he's calling Hawk a liar. Said he was a bad GM which was pretty true. Said he's a HOF announcer based on longevity but homerism hurts his chances. Said hard to imagine Vin Scully wanting to punch out an opposing teams player like when Hawk wanted to with Padilla when he was 64. A bit snarky but not over the top.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jul 21, 2013 -> 11:51 AM) Oh come on man, he's a catcher. Giving the catcher the 3rd game of a series off is generally the norm, and ought to be especially important for a guy with Phegley's health history. I didnt say it wasn't expected just hate seeing it.
