QUOTE (SoxFan562004 @ Jul 30, 2010 -> 05:36 PM) it could also be a RHB with decent splits, Kotsay is terrible, like 74 ops+ terrible, so if the guy is right handed but good, it's an upgrade Who's a power hitter with a shaky future contract situation that nobody has brought up in trade talks?

A world shocker that hasn't been mentioned doesn't come to mind. If it's a lefty power bat, I'm at a loss for whom it may be.

QUOTE (nitetrain8601 @ Jul 30, 2010 -> 05:26 PM) My guess would also be A-Gon. Or maybe it's not even a trade. Maybe he's trying to revive Ken Griffey Jr. Watch him pull off a trade for Joey Votto though. That would be amazing. The Padres are contending and A-Gon is under control for another year. He's not coming. Votto would be a surprise, but aren't the Reds contending as well?

QUOTE (greg775 @ Jul 30, 2010 -> 02:12 PM) No sarcasm. If the GM acquires a lefthanded big bat like Dunn and he platoons with a lefty weakling like Kotsay, yes I feel that is a fireable offense. I worship Ozzie but that would be insane. I can't imagine that happening with Dunn/Kotsay. Greg, I was joking about Kotsay and Dunn platooning.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Jul 30, 2010 -> 02:01 PM) Platoon? Aren't they both lefties? That makes no sense. Oz will be forced to play Dunn over Kotsay or get fired and as an Oz lover, that would be a fireable offense. You don't acquire Dunn and split his at bats with Mr. Out. I used green.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Jul 30, 2010 -> 01:52 PM) A nibbler, huh? I assume he's a righty? Thanks, can you guys give me a full rundown of him, what he's done and how you project him to be in the majors? How old is he, etc? I've never heard of this guy. 25, righty. Like I said, he's either really good or nibbles way, way too much. He has a good mix of pitches, but I'd say longterm, he would make a good middle reliever, setup man or swingman. Good sense of humor though. Good character, little bit bulldoggish. Profile

QUOTE (BearSox @ Jul 30, 2010 -> 01:50 PM) Unfortunately, it looks like you are correct. In the insane world that is white sox baseball, only we would keep around an old, slow, weak hitting 1B, even if we get someone who does everything he does but better. Its just so stupid to keep Kotsay around if we get one of Berkman or Dunn. Obviously Kotsay and Dunn would platoon.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Jul 30, 2010 -> 01:46 PM) Who the heck is Lucas Harrell and can he win tonight? A nibbler with good stuff. Frustrating as hell to watch pitch. He can twirl a 2 hour gem and K 8 hitters or pitch 5 innings and walk 6 guys.

QUOTE (iamshack @ Jul 30, 2010 -> 01:46 PM) Obviously I would prefer he not beat her, but my primary concern is to get to the postseason.

QUOTE (pittshoganerkoff @ Jul 30, 2010 -> 01:46 PM) Maybe AJ would charge the mound if Myers shook off too many pitches. Choke slam?

QUOTE (Athomeboy_2000 @ Jul 30, 2010 -> 01:42 PM) 1B Good point, my bad.

I doubt the Nats would want Flowers at this point considering they got Wilson Ramos from the Twins.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Jul 30, 2010 -> 12:35 PM) Let's bring up another name. Daniel Cortes, or we can add Tyler Lumsden in for good measure. I remember when he was supposed to be around a Top 45-55 prospect in all of MILB. Hudson never came close to that level with most talent evaluators, let's be honest. I think because he was our lone bright spot among the upper tier starters, he became annointed as the payroll savior for 2011, but if he came up with that class in the late 90's (Jon Garland, Kip Wells, Ginter, Fogg, Barcelo, Buehrle, Rauch, Danny Wright, Jason Stumm) he would be the equivalent of Kevin Beirne or Aaron Myette. KW knows what he's doing in terms of pitching talent USUALLY. He's had his misses with the likes of Felix Diaz and Jon Adkins, but those were not made in the heat of a pennant race to compete, they were prospect returns on Lofton and Durham (thinking there would be no more draft picks coming back). Jury's still out on Cortes, he's in AA for the Mariners and throwing 100+ MPH. Plus, he's the same age as Hudson.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Jul 30, 2010 -> 12:40 PM) i love how ESPN has an article on how Boston is a boring team on the front page rather than anything on the trade deadline. Top Notch What else would ESPN focus on, they are an extension of NESN. Thank God for MLB Network.

QUOTE (G&T @ Jul 30, 2010 -> 12:19 PM) Apparently Coop said on the Score that Hudson has a high maintenance delivery (or something to that effect). I did not hear him say that but Mack and Spiegal mentioned it. I'd say that is true from what I saw of him. The first thing I noticed about Hudson last year was that he looks like he'll blow out his elbow, he puts a lot of stress on it.

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Jul 30, 2010 -> 11:29 AM) I had tweeted Cowley letting him know marquez was on the DL and he responded by saying, Harrel it is. I think it is important to know that Cowley, like us, is speculating a bit as to who might be pitching. He isn't reporting it 100% that Harrel is starting, which is opposite of the score. Like it or not, Cowley seems to have the best sources for FA moves and trades when it comes to the White Sox. I just like insulting him.

Lucas is a good kid, I hope he does well tonight.

I just e-mailed Cowley and called him a f***ing moron for not doing his research properly on Marquez.

QUOTE (Thunderbolt @ Jul 29, 2010 -> 08:26 PM) White Sox just signed Jon Adkins. Can we have Ray Durham too while we're at it? Beat you to it, T-Bolt.

Maybe he could help Charlotte or Birmingham.

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Jul 29, 2010 -> 04:48 PM) The A's traded him because they got an arguably more talented prospect in Michael Taylor. The Blue Jays wanted him because they've coveted him for a while. They realize that they have a logjam at 1B, and that they can get a very talented outfielder in Gose (who, it is entirely possible, they've coveted for quite some time too, though why they didn't just get him in the Halladay trade I don't know). The Astros realize that, if and when they are able to move Berkman, they have a spot for Wallace on the MLB roster. It does make some sense. Cards got Holliday. I thought the Blue Jays were going to hand him the first base job once Overbey was gone?

QUOTE (MattZakrowski @ Jul 29, 2010 -> 05:09 PM) http://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2010/07/whit..._medium=twitter Disappointment. Ewww, Brad Hawpe.

Jon Adkins has been signed and assigned to Charlotte. Another former White Sox prospect. Jeffrey Marquez to the DL.

QUOTE (JoeCoolMan24 @ Jul 29, 2010 -> 04:42 PM) Aaron Poreda. lol. Wynn Pelzer.

QUOTE (Thunderbolt @ Jul 29, 2010 -> 04:33 PM) Same way that a guy like Gio does. He's a valuable commodity. How the hell is he not starting in the majors yet? Why would the Blue Jays or the A's trade him? I just don't get it. Seems like the White Sox could have acquired him for next to nothing.
