QUOTE (Leonard Zelig @ Jul 20, 2013 -> 12:59 PM) mlb.tv Saturday games after 1:00PM EST and before 8:00PM EST are not shown on mlb.tv due to FOX blackout rules. If this wasn't the case, I'd be a happy camper watching my mlb.tv account streaming in 720p on my 50 inch LCD from AppleTV. Hence, I need to watch some s***ty quality hacked stream. If anyone knows of such a stream - hook a brotha up... please.

Anyone know a site that will be streaming the games video for us out of towners?

QUOTE (Y2JImmy0 @ Jul 20, 2013 -> 08:41 AM) Scout the Arizona Fall League every year and incessantly chase those players from other teams. Lol - good point.

Just wondering what you all think K-Dubs most common mode of operation was. It sure was always fun this time of year and during the off season with Trader Kenny. Thanks for the memories.

QUOTE (Jerksticks @ Jul 19, 2013 -> 09:15 PM) Well we always had a legitimate shot at the playoffs under Williams except for what, 1 year? And he retooled nicely and stocked the farm. What is the evidence that Hahn is a great negotiator; Keppinger on 3 years? Williams dealings mainly involved trading the farm. It worked to an extent but times have changed. The table is flipped, it's a whole new ball game when it becomes retooling. I don't think stating Williams retooled and restocked the system is correct. Regarding Hanh and his negotiation skills, he has always been responsible for contract talks. You can point to Keppinger but then again, you could also point to Sale. Over time, I've been impressed with Hanh in his dealings with this regard. We'll see how this translates when dealing for prospects. In all seriousness - we never saw Williams in this capacity. 90% of Soxtalk would likely attest to that. ( I think... Let's see since there's not much to talk about at the moment. ) Edit: Yep, most disagree with your point of view regarding Kenny retooling our farm system: http://www.soxtalk.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=89496 Don't take this as an attack Jenks... I'm just extremely board and having intermittent insomnia

QUOTE (bucket-of-suck @ Jul 19, 2013 -> 02:37 PM) Sox have been VERY active, but are playing the market patiently. Good - contenders aren't going to all have their needs met, our injuries will hopefully mend, and prices should be driven upwards as supply limitations continue to unfold. This is one two week period that will really show us a difference between Kenny and Rick. With Williams ultra aggressive style, he didn't have many opportunities to display leverage tactics. Hanh on the other hand is known to have high negotiation skills. Bring it...

QUOTE (kwolf68 @ Jul 18, 2013 -> 03:38 PM) I'm ready for a bunch of deals just to get some new blood in here...I'm reading Bears notes in freaking July and that's not right. I hear ya - time goes by slowly when refreshing trade winds and mlbtraderumors two weeks before deadline day. Snoooooooze...

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Jul 18, 2013 -> 12:52 PM) Viciedo Sophomore slump to a "T"... He might figure it out and make adjustments in the second half but the real teat for him is this offseason and next year. Hope he puts it together at the plate... He still has a chance to be a beast!

QUOTE (TaylorStSox @ Jul 16, 2013 -> 08:33 PM) Selig couldn't be anymore creepy. It's an amazing achievement that he's seen a vagina in person. Funniest reply I've read here in years. Kudos to you

Jon Heyman of CBS Sports echoes Sullivan's earlier report that the Rangers aren't willing to include Martin Perez in a trade for Garza. The Red Sox are said to be "thinking about" Garza and would be a major threat if they entered the fray, according to Heyman. Boston has many pitching prospects acquired by Theo Epstein during his time as the team's GM. The Diamondbacks are in the mix as well, though they may prefer Jake Peavy. The Cubs are likely to place more emphasis on ceiling than proximity to the Major Leagues, according to Heyman, with a slight preference for pitching as opposed to position players.

The Rangers could avoid giving up top prospects for White Sox right fielder Alex Rios, depending on how much of Rios' contract Texas is willing to eat, ESPN Dallas' Richard Durrett writes. Rios is owed roughly $4.85MM for the rest of 2013, $12.5MM in 2014 and a $13.5MM club option for 2015 that can be bought out for $1MM. The Rangers are one of several teams interested in acquiring Rios, though his trade stock has dipped due to a six-week slump.

Robin has growing pains to get through but this year is not on him. - Peavy injury - Danks injury - Floyd injury - Konerko decline - Tank Slump - Alexi decline - Keppinger disappointment - Flowers wilted - The great third base void Face it guys and gals - this team had promise based on last year. However, they lost more pieces than they added and all of the performance issues on the field could have easily been predicted. This year seemed to be an accepted regression by upper management, marketed as a competitive team, which really is just the first step in a more aggressive rebuild. The next couple years will be interesting indeed and Robin IMO is the least of our troubles. Get at it Hanh.

Awesome - another loss. I want first pick next June... Sell everyone - go for losses. Bring it!

Someone fire Casper please.

QUOTE (scs787 @ Jul 13, 2013 -> 11:57 AM) The bullpen maybe, but I don't think the rotation will need any sort of solidification next year. The rotation right now is soooo deep that they can potentially trade 2 SPs and still have enough for a competing rotation. Right now the Sox have Sale/Peavy/Danks/Q/Santiago, and they have Johnson, Axe, and Rienzo who I believe anyone of those can be a competent #5 starter with Johnson having the potential of being much more. I'm personally not fond of Axelrod outside of a long relief / spot start guy. Hope we see Johnson and Rienzo this year in September. If Peavy and Danks both go, I'll want another SP. Some prospect could fit that bill. Next year isn't about being competitive - so hell - run any kid out there who may be ready. Evaluate, adapt, evaluate, adapt...

QUOTE (scs787 @ Jul 12, 2013 -> 11:20 PM) (To make it clear I'm saying with the addition of 2 impact bats they can do all this). Bullpens gonna need a lot of work and the rotation will need some solidification as well. The rest of this year and the next two to come will be interesting.

QUOTE (Paulstar @ Jul 13, 2013 -> 12:05 AM) Brandon Jacobs, Jared Mitchell, Tryace Thompson, Keynan Walker, and Courtney Hawkins... Claiming to know all of these prospects to bust is unreasonable. Two of them are in their first full year, one in his second, and the other two have had injury based setbacks. Sorry Paulstar - but your post was very biased in my opinion. At least we both agree the hope is for your sentiment to be off the mark. Cheers to that.

QUOTE (CaliSoxFanViaSWside @ Jan 30, 2013 -> 11:09 PM) If everything goes well and that's really well Sox could be 40 above .500 .Imagine Sale 20-7 , Peavy 18-9 , Floyd 16 -8 , Danks 15-9, Fifth Starters 15- 11 Viciedo .280 35 HR 95 RBI, PK, .290 30, 100 , Dunn .240, 40, 100 , Beckham breaks out, Alexei out producing his rookie year, Keppinger .300 10, 70 , DeAza .295, 10, 60 Rios .310 25 95. I'll dream along with ya. April please. Also, I moved to Kauai - will have to back out of the Cali Crew and start my own one man fan club here. LOL

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jan 25, 2013 -> 08:17 PM) Probably no more hitters to be added to the '13 line up. http://www.csnchicago.com/baseball-chicago...mp;feedID=10338 Kinda conflicts what was just posted in this thread about 3rd base... I'm guessing their using the media as a negioating tool. We'll s thou- I'm wrong often when it comes to speculation.
