QUOTE (beck72 @ Jul 27, 2011 -> 11:15 AM) Add me to the list that this isn't bad. Frasor solidifies the sox pen for 2011 and next year. Stewart provides SP depth that replaces Jackson for 2012 [not that Stewart will be pitching but give the sox another option]. Teahen's gone. And more moves can still be made. Its really not that bad of a deal if you just take into account this deal itself. Teahen was a top 3 enemy on this site for good reasons. Jackson was walking. We got 10 million, a cheap effective reliever and a top 50 prospect.

QUOTE (maggsmaggs @ Jul 27, 2011 -> 11:11 AM) It's actually AA where he is posting the 4.20 ERA and 1.41 WHIP. He is a nothing, and won't be anything more than backend rotation help for when Peavy re-injures himself. Can I ask you how you came to your conclusion that he is a nothing? Law had him ranked higher than Chris Sale coming into this season on his top 100. Obviously there are scouts out there who project him to be quite something.

According to Keith Law, Stewart is immediately our #1 prospect.

QUOTE (pittshoganerkoff @ Jul 27, 2011 -> 11:08 AM) If the $10 million from the Jays is accurate, this is not a bad deal, IMO. I honestly don't care what Toronto does with Jackson at this point. If they do ship him to the Cards, they will have to send a top prospect, too. As others have said, the prospect St. Louis wanted from the Sox was most likely Viciedo. And I hope Rios sits his lazy ass on the bench the rest of the season. What he's getting paid doesn't matter...he is not performing, and he's not trying. They will send Lawrie or Drabek.

QUOTE (Baron @ Jul 27, 2011 -> 11:06 AM) KW says Rios has been benched! There is it. DFA b****.

QUOTE (maggsmaggs @ Jul 27, 2011 -> 11:04 AM) A minor leaguer with a career 1.34 WHIP is nothing to be happy about. Add that he is 24, f*** f*** f*** Ranked the #44 prospect in the minors coming into this season. He is already one of our best immediately.

Dammit sources beat me to it.

You can bet that KW is looking for pitching prospects in any deal.

QUOTE (ChiSox_Sonix @ Jul 27, 2011 -> 10:48 AM) Crain b/c he's type A f***ing A right. Also AJP is a type A at the moment I saw. Wow.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Jul 27, 2011 -> 10:46 AM) Toronto loves Kenny. We take their overpriced s***ty OF and then give them Colby Rasmus, basically. I'm done with the Sox for a bit. Yeah, we didnt actually give them Rasmus, and least not as this point. And we also dont have the prospect to get him either. So, basically you are slamming your head against the door for nothing.

Thornton makes: 5.5 in 2012 5.5 in 2013 and 6M in 2014 (option) Frasor makes less this year and possibly less moving forward. Just a thought.

QUOTE (whitesoxfan101 @ Jul 27, 2011 -> 10:40 AM) If we lose today, and then Friday and Saturday, how many guys could go in your opinion? 3-5 more. We know teams are calling hard on pitching, and we have some of the best in the league right now in the pen. Not to mention Floyd's pretty affordable contract and Sale's potential as a starter.

I was real excited for E-Jax to come here and hopefully turn it on like everyone has expected him to his whole career. Its too bad he's going to be overpaid for the duration of it.

QUOTE (GreatScott82 @ Jul 27, 2011 -> 10:37 AM) I would have done the Rasmus for Ejax and Thorton for sure. But since Sale will be inserted in the rotation next year, we would still need that lefty set up man. This turned out to be a pure salary dump on our part. JR wants to shed some salary so that is what is happening right now. I wouldn't be suprised to see Quentin go next. Hopefully the return package will be a bit higher on that one!! Oh, its not over yet. If there is a loss posted today, I wouldnt be surprised to see Thornton on his way out the door as well.

Its done. Pack it up Teahen. Sorry it didnt work out.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jul 27, 2011 -> 10:30 AM) And that's why Rasmus wasn't coming to the Sox. There is also a reason why Rasmus is widely available for less than players like Upton.

QUOTE (southside hitman @ Jul 27, 2011 -> 10:25 AM) SI_JonHeyman Jon Heyman #stlcasrds targeting e-jax (plus others) for rasmus. So they want him. Deal could happen w/i day. Big powwows now. #tradedeadline Why couldn't we get this done? Instead we choose a 33 year old reliever?? We dont have the prospect to toss in. YOu can be Tor would be throwing in someone serious.

QUOTE (justBLAZE @ Jul 27, 2011 -> 10:23 AM) Looks like a 3 team trade, Cards get EJAX, Toronto gets Rasmus, we ger Frasor. Beatnik tweeting: SOX ARE NOT trading John Danks. And who's out in the cold in that trade.....

QUOTE (Y2HH @ Jul 21, 2011 -> 06:33 AM) Had installed it earlier yesterday, I like it. In some ways, it's a pretty radical departure from the old idea of a desktop. But, you don't really have to use such features, either...so if you liked how OSX used to be, you can pretty much keep it that way. Did you guys pay for it or torrent it?

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Jul 27, 2011 -> 10:19 AM) I swear to God. I love Rasmus so f***ing much, and we're going to help him go to f***ing Toronto. You dont know that. Would you deal Floyd for him?

There are quite a few contenders in on Frasor, he may not be staying here.

i see a member of our bullpen possibly moving soon as well.

I dont think its going to happen today, but if the Sox lose this afternoon, I can see Floyd out the door to an NL contender.

Nice piece of hitting
