QUOTE (wsgdf_2 @ Jul 30, 2010 -> 07:59 PM) Buster_ESPN Heard this:Other teams say that in recent weeks,the Nationals had told other teams that a key piece to anyone who wanted Adam (more)#trades 4 minutes ago via web Dunn was Edwin Jackson. This caused a number of teams to try to pry Jackson away from the D-Backs, with the White Sox (more)#trades 3 minutes ago via web finally landing Jackson today--and as of 7 p.m. Eastern, the Nats are indicating they're not sure if they want Jackson anymore.(more)#trades 2 minutes ago via web So as of tonight, teams are pulling their hair out over the Nats' machinations. We'll see if the White Sox can finish a Dunn deal.#trades Hmm...this sure sounds like what Kenny was "frustrated" about earlier today...

QUOTE (balfanman @ Jul 30, 2010 -> 05:52 PM) My guess is this "WOW" guy is Ichiro. I wouldn't necessarily like it because I would like Ichiro to single handedly beat the Twins this weekend. Maybe Ichiro can beat the Twins in tonights game and then join us tomorrow. That'll work. Yeah, he is the player I think would fit the bill the best... Makes $17 million though over the next two years, 5 million deferred annually.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 30, 2010 -> 05:30 PM) Berkman wants his ring this year and then just head back to play for Houston I sure hope he wasn't the WOW player...

QUOTE (Chet Kincaid @ Jul 30, 2010 -> 04:50 PM) Cowley was just on Boers and Bernstein saying that KW is still working on something huge and totally under the radar. Bernstein was trying to figure out who that could possibly be, and mentioned this scenario: Edwin Jackson would go to the Nationals, Dunn to the Rays, and Carl Crawford to the White Sox. Talk about a sleeper... If Kenny Williams landed Carl Crawford, I'd smack anyone who ever said anything bad about him ever again. Someone emailed that suggestion in...I think it's silly, but who knows.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Jul 30, 2010 -> 04:53 PM) I wonder if KW even checks with Oz or Jerry before making trades or if it's all on him. Probably all on him. No, he has to check to make sure Jerry will sign off on adding new salary. I don't think he asks Ozzie at all anymore.

QUOTE (SoxFan562004 @ Jul 30, 2010 -> 05:50 PM) did Cowley seem like he knew the name or is he just hearing this from his sources without names attached? He claims he doesn't know the name...but the way it was described to him was someone that would make you say Wow...not necessarily in an immediately overly positive way, but more of a holy s***, I can't believe we got that player type of way... That was just my impression of course.

QUOTE (SoxFan1 @ Jul 30, 2010 -> 05:47 PM) Ya, he'd be an upgrade. I don't really care what he did last year, he's been disappointing this yr. Would I love to have him? Absolutely. But I don't think that's what Cowley was referring to. Ahh, I see....well, I guess it is all up for interpretation....it sounded like it would be a guy that is not exactly performing up to par to me though....because Cowley seemed to hesitate when describing the possible addition as not necessarily a huge producer, but more of a WOW, what is this?

QUOTE (justBLAZE @ Jul 30, 2010 -> 05:43 PM) Manny is on the DL and looks garbage this year, yes I said it. No way....a bit of a power outage, yes...but a great hitter still, yes...

QUOTE (JPN366 @ Jul 30, 2010 -> 05:42 PM) I would, just sounds like Cowley's saying it would blow people's minds, a la a major name. Wow, I guess we have different opinions....maybe I play too much fantasy baseball...

QUOTE (SoxFan1 @ Jul 30, 2010 -> 05:39 PM) I don't think he fits the "shocker" and "immediately considerably better" tags though though he's been better lately. Are you kidding me? Putting Kemp in RF and hitting Q DH would not make us better? Did you guys see what Kemp did last year?
-
QUOTE (JPN366 @ Jul 30, 2010 -> 05:38 PM) I don't think Kemp would really shock anybody. I'd be all for Ian Stewart though. It might not shock people, but it would make you say WOW....I don't know how you wouldn't say WOW if suddenly Matt Kemp was our starting RF...
-
QUOTE (Soxbadger @ Jul 30, 2010 -> 05:38 PM) Yeah I think Kemp could be a possibility. Kemp would definitely be shocking. I would be the happiest boy in Las Vegas if Kenny pulled that deal off...

QUOTE (justBLAZE @ Jul 30, 2010 -> 05:36 PM) Has Cowley confirmed Kenny still working on this 'big' deal? I can't imagine this deal being Dunn (done?) lol. He did say he believes that Kenny is still working on that, yes.

QUOTE (scenario @ Jul 30, 2010 -> 05:33 PM) Love to listen to him talk about football. Very knowledgeable. Hate to listen to him talk about baseball. Completely clueless but acts like he knows what he's talking about. He's been like this since he first started. He might be the most arrogant person I have ever listened to on the radio. As for the "wow" player, I have to agree with IceCreamPants (aka SHIPPS) suggestion the other day in Ichiro. That one actually seems possible and WOW! to me....
