Swish may rake in that Yankees lineup, but we may forget about that if this Marquez guy develops like so many other young arms under Coop.

I've been by that building. That just shows how much information can be moved from a small space.

QUOTE (Kenny Hates Prospects @ Nov 13, 2008 -> 05:03 PM) There's a good chance we get him, he's one of Kenny's guys. I just hope to f***ing God that Kenny doesn't trade Brandon Allen for him. He almost traded Chris Carter for another one of his guys, Akinori Otsuka, last year prior to the Quentin deal. When I read that I almost had a heart attack. Read it where? How do you know it was real?

YES YES YES. PLease sign Wood. I would LOVE it. Put him in the 7th inning role, or close him if we trade jenks. A pen of Jenks, Wood, Dotel, Thorton, Richard and Line is ridonkulous.

KW, trying to build a team of spanish speaking players one trade at a time. I kid.

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Nov 13, 2008 -> 04:40 PM) Bulls***....OC filled a major hole (albeit he didn't fit in as planned) and is going to get the Sox additional compensation. Gager, re-read what you quotes.

QUOTE (fathom @ Nov 13, 2008 -> 04:39 PM) Just a hunch? I really believe we'll trade for Wily and it wouldn't shock me if we blow other teams out of the water and sign Hudson. Not a hunch at all, from what I heard from an ok source, there has been an unusual number of "pow wow" sessions internally with the Sox the last few days.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Nov 13, 2008 -> 04:28 PM) The White Sox are absolutely in love with Viciedo. Swisher moving means he will be signed, I'd put money on that. I'm guessing about 4 years at 2.5-3 mill per for Dayan. It will be a much longer contract than that. At least 6 years.

Oh boy, this board is gonna be slammed the next few days. We will have one signing before the week is over for sure. And another trade before thanksgiving.

QUOTE (Tony82087 @ Nov 13, 2008 -> 03:19 PM) Whats semi ironic about all this is Williams is usually on the other end of these trades, buying low on a player that has fallen out of favor..... he just did. Marquez was a very highly touted pitcher for the Yanks who really has just had a bit of injury trouble. He is a very good "Coop fixed him" candidate to possibly fit in the rotation which is getting younger.

Ugh, I hate getting rid of Swish. Dammit. There better be a FA signing coming ASAP.

Even Slayer thinks Danksy is a freak of nature.

QUOTE (Soxbadger @ Nov 11, 2008 -> 08:37 PM) I know im in the minority, but Heroes has been rocking my world. Im right with you, its been ridiculous this season.

Never. Mariotti wrote uneducated criticisms of management, which I would never miss. I actually think, at this point in time, that most quality opinions on professional sports and their management is found on the internet on blogs and message boards. Even though I dont always agre with opinions on this site or on blogs like Cheat's, I find that at least they usually have a good thought pattern and back up their ideas with observations and third party information.

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Nov 11, 2008 -> 03:05 PM) Good read. Thanks for the link. I find it ridiculous that Mac (for the most part) was the brains behind the show. Also that he is married to Sweet Dee. Also that Charlie is married to the Waitress. I shouldnt have research their actual personal lives.

QUOTE (SoxFan562004 @ Nov 11, 2008 -> 03:08 PM) basically Boers source said the Braves aren't really intrigued by the Cubs offer and a lot of this is talk also saying that Dempster is a long shot for the Cubs at this point and also might have trouble resigning Wood They offered Demp 50 million bucks. Frankly, if I was him, I would take it. He knows this was probably his peak season and you really dont want to be THAT guy IMO, especially when you make your home in the town you play in.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Nov 11, 2008 -> 02:53 PM) Simply put, you can't only look at 2/3 of a guy's season. He was dominant in the NL, but that was only 2/3 of a season. If you look at the 1/3 of the season he spent in the AL, he wasn't nearly as good. Lincecum was the right choice here. I think he should have been given just a little bit more love though.

QUOTE (MHizzle85 @ Nov 11, 2008 -> 01:54 PM) Not enough love for CC, IMO. No kidding. His first time in the NL and he runs complete game after complete game to drive his team into the playoffs.

QUOTE (Tony82087 @ Nov 11, 2008 -> 02:16 PM) Some douche named Andy Dolan seemingly created that rumor out of thin air. He even mentions that it completely contradicts what Olney said this morning in his article. Its not really a rare occurance for cubs fans to start that crap. It was only a year ago that Rich Hill was going to bring them Brian Roberts.

QUOTE (fathom @ Nov 11, 2008 -> 02:12 PM) 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! That would be an great deal for the cubs and terrible for the Pads, which is why i dont believe it.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Nov 11, 2008 -> 12:45 PM) And seemingly, one definition of that word "Somewhere" is "Texas" Only if he also had some gunplay involved.

I think you'll see KW wait back on these players he doesnt have to sell and see if a team gets desperate because one of their main competitors grabs one of the big free agents or makes a big trade.

Boldin brings me another weekly fantasy win. What a horrible coaching performance by Big Mike.

I noticed on NSBB.com that Cubs fans are still considering Rich Hill to be a pitching prospect. At what age does that label stop?

QUOTE (DukeNukeEm @ Nov 11, 2008 -> 11:51 AM) Pretty soon, Castros brother appears somewhat willing to talk and so does the new Administration. There are alot of ways that Cuba and the US could benefit from an open relationship. Think of the tourist ops there, the goods exchanged, even sports.
