It all depends on what your goals are. Buehrle could clear you more salary, but won't bring much of a return. Danks or Floyd won't give you much salary relief, but will bring you a better haul of prospects, or maybe even major league ready players. Peavy isn't going anywhere right now, so forget about him. I can't see much of a scenario where Sale would be in a deal, other than the organization thinking he is a shoulder surgery waiting to happen, and getting a big time bat for him while we still can. I'd listen on Jackson, but I wouldn't be sure what to expect back.

SI_JonHeyman execs believe zack greinke probably will be traded (rangers 1 interested team), and if so, why not trade soria, too?

QUOTE (fathom @ Nov 20, 2010 -> 03:49 PM) Let's see what happens to the teams that miss out on Cliff Lee. The contracts being signed so far sure don't look like teams are going to be afraid of big money deals. Cliff Lee is also in another universe compared to Mark Buehrle.

QUOTE (fathom @ Nov 20, 2010 -> 02:29 PM) Find a way to unload Buehrle's contract and get some cheap talent for him, and then use the money to make FA upgrades. Move Sale into Buehrle's spot in rotation, and sign Garcia for cheap to replace Peavy at beginning of season. In this climate, if you could find a team to take on all his money, they sure aren't going to give you any real talent for him.

It amazes me some of the crap that the Chicago newspapers allow their writers to publish. http://www.chicagotribune.com/sports/sc-sp...,3389440.column It sounds like he went to the Hawk Harrelson school of GMing.

QUOTE (Jenksismyb**** @ Nov 20, 2010 -> 02:07 PM) Common sense? This new process isn't going to guarantee safety, so while it might decrease the odds slightly there's still an obvious way to get around it. The next logical step is to swallow something and opt for the pat down. You just contradicted yourself. You just agreed that it does increase safety. There is nothing that guarantees anything. That is an impossible standard.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Nov 20, 2010 -> 10:18 AM) The big selling point the Sox have here is actually Cooper. A guy with a reputation of occasionally fixing people. If you're Duke, and you think you have some talent, you're looking for a guy like Cooper or Duncan who can potentially help you turn things around. The Sox probably need to sign a 6th starter guy if they're going to move a starter, this isn't a terrible candidate, and even still, they need some bullpen help as well. This is the exact reason I love to see the Sox accumulate these kind of guys and bring them to AZ with us. If you fix one here and there, it helps the team out tons.

V2s are coming for you.

That is what the German's would have you believe.

Its crazy watching Tyson Chandler and realizing that Joakim Noah is pretty much already everything that they wanted from Chandler.

It is funny for Cowley to call anyone a name.

Revolting, or German... you decide.
