QUOTE (Balta1701 @ May 2, 2010 -> 02:17 PM) I won't believe that D1 is getting dealt in the offseason until I see it. That'd be KW admitting he didn't think he could win that year. If you think he won't re-sign and you can get something approaching the CC deal, I think he does it in a heartbeat. It buys him some payroll space, plus it gives him a chance to get more young players to subsize the payroll for the biggest ticket items

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ May 2, 2010 -> 02:35 PM) Williams plus inheritied runners? Ugh. Well that's two of the three so far...

Williams plus inheritied runners? Ugh.

Well there goes Alexei thinking again...

A Danks deal would be done in the off-season, or could be a deadline deal if we were out of it.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ May 2, 2010 -> 01:58 PM) I can't remember the last time the Sox traded away an up and coming guy before he hit FA to restock the farm. If they think they will lose him to free agency, it will be a lot easier to justify. Besides, lately that's all anyone wants to do here anyway...

The key is for Alexei to have no time to think.

Great play by Cano to get to that and stay with it.

QUOTE (fathom @ May 2, 2010 -> 01:45 PM) Then our rotation is really going to be doomed. Peavy's going to have a very hard time living up to his contract, and Buehrle's best years are seemingly behind him. It's not like we have a lot in the minors coming up. Danks should be the biggest priority for this team, and save money on a 1st baseman. I still think finding a solid 1st baseman for cheap is one of the easier things to do in baseball. Danks being traded for a big package fills in a lot of those holes.

Geesh Gordo. At least swing the bat.

Good ol Alexei

QUOTE (fathom @ May 2, 2010 -> 01:38 PM) But you really think we'll give him a 5/100 deal? With the way attendance looks like, as well as what would be needed to keep Danks around, you're looking at almost 50 million dollars in the core of Peavy/Rios/Gonzalez. I'm also not convinced Danks will sign a long term deal here. I haven't seen anything that shows there is something in common when it comes to an extention.

There is no way they go into this deal without some kind of understanding of what it would take to keep him here. With Konerko and Buehrle coming off of the books before his new contract comes up, along with potentially Jenks, the money could be there if they wanted to make it happen.

Cano is just killing Buehrle.

QUOTE (fathom @ May 2, 2010 -> 01:35 PM) I'd hope they'd wait another month before making a huge deal, because you have to see if there's even a chance that you can compete with the Twins/Tigers. If we're 10 out after our road trip in two weeks, then just save your resources. Like I said in other spots, just like Rios and Peavy, Agon wouldn't be here as a temporary thing. He would be a part of the remake of the core of this team. It doesn't matter how many games we are out when the deal is made, and what the team publicly saids.

Nice shot for Juan. That is as hard as he has hit one all year.

QUOTE (Milkman delivers @ May 2, 2010 -> 11:19 AM) It sort of does. Taking Pierre out of the lead off spot, only to replace him with Omar Vizquel and Mark Kotsay. It honestly seems like Ozzie is trying to get fired. We have a thread about the leadoff spot at the bottom of this page. That will suffice.

QUOTE (fathom @ May 2, 2010 -> 12:24 PM) Yeah, of course...why does it keep happening to power guys as well? How come the little speedy guys like Pierre don't get it? Bigger guys have more problems with their feet.

QUOTE (fathom @ May 2, 2010 -> 11:07 AM) I thought things with him were resolved? Kissing and making up was done, but the issue itself was never cleared up.

Whew. That was killed.

Nice play by both Lex and Pauly

QUOTE (CaliSoxFanViaSWside @ May 2, 2010 -> 12:18 PM) Let's see if PK looks up the middle . When he has a fastball pitcher on the mound, it is all turn and burn.

QUOTE (kapkomet @ May 2, 2010 -> 11:49 AM) This is clearly to gain two more senators for Democrats. Or four by adding DC...

QUOTE (fathom @ May 2, 2010 -> 11:38 AM) Can we try to keep this thread more about the trade rumor than bashing Cowley? If there hadn't have been a personal attack involved in this, I would agree with you. That changes things completely for me. It is a legitimate talking point now.
