QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 5, 2011 -> 10:02 AM) Maybe the Sox just want to get him off the roster? And also maybe they have a good deal lined up for Danks they want to execute, but they don't want to do it and rely on Peavy's health? You want to know who our CF could be? Long time Sox killer Melky Cabrera is supposedly on the market. Man, that turns into a big complex deal awful quick. That is the type of thing that gets done at the winter meetings, not in July.

QUOTE (Eminor3rd @ Jul 5, 2011 -> 09:52 AM) Sorry, just noticed the catch-all convo. Posted too quickly. No problem, stuff can get lost in the Catch-All's very easily.

I went ahead and put all of the posts together in one thread.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 5, 2011 -> 09:35 AM) Lowe for Rios? That at least makes a little more sense.

Ha, its Balta's Evil Twin.

QUOTE (Y2HH @ Jul 5, 2011 -> 09:07 AM) Shut up with your unpatriotic, vegan, liberal phones. Vegan phone? Does that mean it is at least compostable?

I'm taking full credit for Adam Dunn's turnaround. I changed the name of my fantasy team from "Out like Adam Dunn's Appendix" to "BP Cup Champions" You are all welcome.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Jul 5, 2011 -> 08:49 AM) Pujols may be back in the lineup today, about a month before his initial timetable. He must be worried about those hard charging Pittsburgh Pirates! I'm sure it is more like the zeros on his next contract...

QUOTE (iamshack @ Jul 5, 2011 -> 08:42 AM) Or maybe Quentin is his only tradable assett and he has a ton of faith in Viciedo. He could certainly dump Pierre if he really wanted to, but you know Ozzie is not going to let that happen. Agreed that it would be incredibly risky, but we've seen this inconsistency play out with Quentin before and maybe he's just trying to get top dollar for him. Again, agreed that it would be very un-Kenny-ish and extremely risky, but if Kenny has his eye on doing something with Cashman, this would probably be one of the ways to do it, while getting Viciedo out of Charlotte and on to the big league club, where Kenny has said he is confident Viciedo is ready to be on several occasions now. Weakening your weakest spot on the team (offense) for something you don't need at all right now (starting pitching) makes no sense at all on the surface. Right now at best, Dayan would give you what Carlos did. Odds are with growing pains and his defense, you aren't even going to get that much.

QUOTE (iamshack @ Jul 5, 2011 -> 08:26 AM) Yeah, it's called Kenny being restless. You know he is dying to get Viciedo out of Charlotte and he knows now it won't be at the expense of Pierre. I don't think it is something that simple. Carlos doesn't make any sense to deal if you believe you are in a pennant race unless there is something really wrong. Dealing your second best hitter, especially for a pitcher, when your offense has been awful? It doesn't pass the smell test. If Kenny really wanted to open a spot for Dayan, he would find someone to dump Pierre on, and pick up most of his salary the rest of this year. If he is looking to deal Q it means he is looking for an insane amount of money on an extension, having issues in the clubhouse, really worried about an injury problem, or something worse that none of us have heard about (and in this day and age, speculation would always begin there with juicing or worse).

QUOTE (Kalapse @ Jul 5, 2011 -> 08:14 AM) It's worth noting that Steve Stone floated the idea of trading CQ to Atlanta on the Score just now. Such a trade doesn't make a whole hell of a lot of sense IMO but Steve Stone doesn't just say things to say them. Wow. There must be something behind the scenes we don't know about.

QUOTE (kapzk @ Jul 4, 2011 -> 10:19 PM) some1 that has been really underrated and not talked about much is Buerhle. That's now 12 straight games with 3 runs or less, that is something for sure, he keeps putting up quality start after quality start. Hopefully we can get him some more wins cuz we have not. That's Buehrle being Buehrle. He doesn't do much fantastic, but he quietly gives you a chance to win about 90% of the games he throws in.

QUOTE (BaseballNick @ Jul 4, 2011 -> 10:30 PM) Sox scouting Atlanta per Nick Cafardo of the Boston Globe: The Sox aren't trading TCQ during the season unless we fall out of contention. Period.

Rios isn't going anywhere unless we get equally as bad of a deal back in return. Think Bradley for Silva.

It is people like this that end up putting victims everywhere on trial when they report an incident. It is also the reason that we can't convict someone instantly off of an accusation.

FWIW, it is Keenyn Walker

WTF?

QUOTE (kapkomet @ Jul 4, 2011 -> 07:14 PM) No, you're wrong. The only way it would have worked is if it were 2 to 3 times bigger then it was. I think I am going to adopt that one too. The banking sector would have been just fine if they were two to three times bigger. They would have easily been able to absorb the losses then.

QUOTE (MAX @ Jul 4, 2011 -> 11:15 PM) Does this thing tell you when you've exhausted your votes? I've been at it for like 15 minutes. I don't believe you can exhaust your votes in this.

File this one under games we shouldn't have won either, but I will take.

f*** the cubs Royals

Unbelievable.

QUOTE (gfbaseball @ Jul 3, 2011 -> 10:17 PM) I guess we'll have to see how he does. In Great Falls he did good at keeping the ball down in the strike zone and getting ahead of the hitters. If he can continue to do that he should do good. The Sox have had really good luck rescuing other people's first round picks. Hopefully that keeps up.
