QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 30, 2013 -> 09:12 PM) I'm also feeling no worse than a top 3 pick in the draft now You know we're going to win like 20 out of our last 24 like we usually do when we suck but can't do to save our lives when we are actually decent.

QUOTE (chunk23 @ Jul 30, 2013 -> 09:02 PM) Absolutely terrible return for Peavy, most likely because they were unwilling to assume any of Peavy's contract. The only saving grace is if this leads to better returns for Alexei and Rios and I'm skeptical. Oh come on...i don't think anyone can say it is terrible...a bit risky, but has a lot of reward potential...just have to hope Garcia pans out, then the rest would just be gravy.

QUOTE (Jake @ Jul 30, 2013 -> 08:44 PM) Listen, guys. Fathom likes Avisail. I think that tells you all you need to know I'll admit I liked what I saw out of him before, but the fact that Detroit willingly moved him to us frightens me a bit...the fact that Hahn made this crazy trade makes me feel good about him as a GM though...Kenny would have traded for Middlebrooks last week.

QUOTE (Jake @ Jul 30, 2013 -> 08:33 PM) If we can continue landing players of Garcia's caliber with our other guys we're going to be looking good for the future I get the high ceiling s*** and all, but sooner or later we have to go back to getting the guys that are good at baseball.

QUOTE (Jake @ Jul 30, 2013 -> 08:26 PM) Buster Olney ‏@Buster_ESPN 1m One longtime evaluator likes the White Sox part of this deal, because of the promise of Avisail Garcia. Well no s***

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Jul 30, 2013 -> 08:23 PM) I do not like Avisail Garcia. Just want to say that. He can prove me wrong, but everything about him seems like classic value driving. Never put up good numbers in the minors over an extended period of time. Pretty polarizing guy...I guess we have to hope the people that are high on him turn out to be correct..

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 30, 2013 -> 08:19 PM) What a bad trade by the Tigers Yeah, they must have struggled to find a cost-controlled guy they liked

QUOTE (Jake @ Jul 30, 2013 -> 08:19 PM) Garcia is a big time talent. Give him a chance and don't project the poor play of other disappointments onto him Keep telling yourself that, Jake

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 30, 2013 -> 08:07 PM) Would be quite the amazing trade by Boston if true. Yeah...how the f*** do they just give up Iglesias?..

Bucket, anything to this Detroit nonsense?

QUOTE (DirtySox @ Jul 30, 2013 -> 07:42 PM) My guess and I hope I'm very wrong is Iglesias, Middlebrooks, Ranaudo. I think so too

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Jul 30, 2013 -> 07:36 PM) Its official: Peavy traded to Boston for Matt Thornton and Ryan Dempster.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 30, 2013 -> 07:24 PM) Even if it is Boston, I don't think Bradley Jr. would be involved. Iglesias better not be the centerpiece. They need Bradley to replace Ellsbury, don't they?

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 30, 2013 -> 07:10 PM) Makes me wonder if Iglesias could be involved in a Sox deal. Yeah, Middlebrooks, Iglesias and an am or something

QUOTE (Kalapse @ Jul 30, 2013 -> 06:25 PM) Dude threw 98 pitches, sure seems like a coincidence. As was Rios fouling a ball off his shin at the exact SAME moment to leave the game!

This is turning into one big s***burger

Goddammit

Rios may have just hurt himself

QUOTE (DirtySox @ Jul 30, 2013 -> 05:44 PM) I know everyone is enamored with position prospects right now, but if Skaggs is on the table you take it. I hate to break it to you, but none of us really has a choice

QUOTE (Jake @ Jul 30, 2013 -> 05:33 PM) I have to assume he's just talking out of his ass Because you don't like those centerpieces?

Come home with that ball, Dunn

QUOTE (hi8is @ Jul 30, 2013 -> 05:12 PM) Sure - PM me your number. I'm 6 hours behind Chicago time... So midnight your time is dinner for me How did you end up living in Hawaii, btw?

QUOTE (Kalapse @ Jul 30, 2013 -> 03:27 PM) CONFIRMED: Konerko to the Rangers for Goldschmidt and the corpse of Peter Angelos. I wanted him alive!

QUOTE (greg775 @ Jul 30, 2013 -> 02:43 PM) I may be a cynic, but my guess is the "asking price" isn't about talent as much as $$$. The more a team will pay, the lesser they 2 prospects they have to give the Sox? Noooooo!
