I wish a judge had ruled Mark Kotsay unconsitiutional today.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Aug 3, 2010 -> 05:40 PM) Or any of the other teams with a remote/legit shot at the playoffs (the Angels, the Twins, maybe the Tigers). The Angels and Tigers should lose hope any moment now, and MIN has enough power hitters who really can't play the field, so they'd be making a claim as a block mostly IMO (not that it couldn't happen).

I'm under the impression that this Kevin Youkilis injury is going to kill Boston's playoff hopes. Adrian Beltre is having a resurgent year, and while Beltre has a $5 mil player option, I think he'd get a ton more on the open market, so the Red Sox may as well consider him gone after this year anyway. More realistically perhaps, David Ortiz is also going to be gone after this year (club option 12 mil). Either of these players would upgrade positions where we are very thin. I'm not too sure they'd get to us in waivers, but I think there's a shot if Detroit decides it's not worth it to claim them, and we fall below Minnesota in the standings for a day or two (the latter wouldn't even need to happen for Ortiz, unless they wanted to block us, of course).

I think everyone should know that I started a franchise in MLB 10 today, and the Nationals just offered me Adam Dunn for Edwin Jackson and an A potential milb player.

They should just release Kotsay, but I'll settle for a dl visit.

With beat writers you can get great information, but in most cases, I poop better analysis.

THEY ARE WHO WE THOUGHT THEY WERE!

QUOTE (TitoMB @ Jul 30, 2010 -> 10:33 PM) I wouldn't. But I guess I could never run a company here because I have morals. It's not the responsibility of baseball teams to reject sponsors.

QUOTE (TitoMB @ Jul 30, 2010 -> 10:28 PM) f*** the Sox for continuing to use BP as a sponsor.. really pisses me off. I'll take all of the money I can. Baseball's competitive.

What's Harrell's pitch count like? Can he go another 1-2 IP? EDIT: Heads posted it. NVM

QUOTE (Heads22 @ Jul 30, 2010 -> 09:30 PM) “Last time he pitched against his former teammates he pitched a no-hitter so I expect the same thing (Wednesday),” manager Ozzie Guillen said. Let's not let him throw 150+ pitches, though.

QUOTE (knightni @ Jul 30, 2010 -> 09:13 PM) This has the feel of an OOTP game. Mr. 5-6-6 talent 1.5 blue star is out there because a 4.5 blue star SP got send to the NL for a 2 gold star SP in the hopes of getting a 3.5 gold star 1B/OF. But 3.5 gold star 1B/OF has 79 POW and 73 EYE!!!

QUOTE (Soxbadger @ Jul 30, 2010 -> 08:08 PM) I think the reason people arent waiving their NTC"s is because of the following: 1) Sox arent considered legitimate contenders for WS (most years) 2) Sox arent known for breaking the bank to resign players. Unless youre a Sox fan, I cant really imagine most people picking the Sox over the Yankees right now. this is true, but I'm still not happy about it.

Kenny Williams I am dissapoint (today), so this team better not stop and get it get it.

QUOTE (ScottyDo @ Jul 30, 2010 -> 07:57 PM) I am an unabashed, completely biased fan of Ichiro and I would buy an Ichiro jersey the MOMENT the trade was announced. That said, if his cost was prohibitive, we could EASILY flip him again this offseason, no question. God, if ONLY it was Ichiro.... Pretty much this, except T-shirt jersey because I'm cheap.

I think I figured out who Cowley's WOW player is!

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Jul 30, 2010 -> 07:33 PM) How did it hurt here? Berkman waived his NTC so he COULD play for the Sox. I thought it read the other way, as in he used the clause to veto a trade to us.

Lance Berkman=Douche BNightengale #mlb Curiously, Lance Berkman had recently exercised his no-trade rights for possible deal with White Sox before accepting Yankees' trade.

QUOTE (AWhiteSoxinNJ @ Jul 30, 2010 -> 06:22 PM) Heard it maybe A-Gon. I'm assuming that deal would start with D1 and Beckham.

QUOTE (Thunderbolt @ Jul 30, 2010 -> 06:20 PM) Ethier and TCQ on the same team would be insane. We'd bludgeon teams to death. We'd bad outfield defense ourselves to death too.

Also Buster_ESPN Heard this: The Steinbrenners have given pre-approval to the acquisition of a large salary such as Lance Berkman or Adam Dunn. #trades

Nooooooo.... JimBowdenXMFOX RotoWorld reports that the Tigers and White Sox are discussing a Brad Hawpe deal with the Rockies....

ScottMCBSSports Danny Knobler in DC, Adam Dunn says no problem with DHing or #chisox if traded: http://bit.ly/c22dII

QUOTE (Soxbadger @ Jul 30, 2010 -> 04:25 PM) And it should be clear that on todays market, Jackson at 8mil was worth more than Hudson. KW isnt going out and doing other teams favors. This was all he could get for Hudson. Id rather have Jackson out there every 5 days than Hudson this season. So I should be happy to pay 16 times as much for a negligable improvement?
