Yea, I think olney is just speculating.

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Jul 21, 2010 -> 06:53 PM) Why would a team give up two pitching prospects for a very raw and unrefined middle reliever when they could use both pitching prospects in middle relief instead? If you are going to get starting pitching prospects from someone, it's going to cost guys like Viciedo, Flowers, Morel, Danks2, and whoever else has value. I think that teams would jump at Santos for AA and AAA pitching prospects.

I thought it would be fun for us to collectively come up with a history of our past trade deadlines. not just the actual deadline day but also the last couple of weeks in July. My favorite move was Jose contreras in 2004

3 way trade... Hudson to milwaukee Santos to team X for two starting pitching prospects ( who also go to the brewers ) We get fielder I don't know if it's worth Santos and hudson to get fielder but I think you could do it discuss

QUOTE (ICP! @ Jul 19, 2010 -> 02:49 PM) On a side note....I dont like when people end their posts with "Discuss". Like they just had some ground breaking post and that they are now allowing the masses to have long discussions about what they just said because it is just that good. LOL Not picking on you Bearsox, it was just something a lot of posters do and I have to laugh at it everytime. Discuss. Moderators towering down and cynically dysecting a post in judgement = good Posters ending a post with the word discuss = bad get off your high horse

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 17, 2010 -> 01:51 AM) Our starting pitching has some pretty big question marks, but so do those of the Twins and Tigers. The division could easily come down to who acquires the best starting pitcher. I don't know what question marks on our SP staff you're talking about amigo

QUOTE (beckham15 @ Jul 17, 2010 -> 01:50 AM) i really hope this is just a bad game and not a sign of things to come.... The games not over yet - we're just down by 3 with a lot of time to come back

QUOTE (JoeCoolMan24 @ Jul 16, 2010 -> 10:46 PM) I watched it. Nothing interesting to note. To each their own. However, next time I share something of interest I'll make sure to state a disclaimer to protect you from the burden of looking at something which doesn't appeal to you.

QUOTE (S_R_N83 @ Jul 16, 2010 -> 12:09 AM) Pierre -- LF Vizquel -- 3B Rios -- CF Konerko -- 1B Quentin -- RF Kotsay -- DH AJ -- C Ramirez -- SS Beckham -- 3B Danks -- P Me no likey no viceido

Can someone explain this to a laymen like myself - in terms of possible future implications.

It rubs the lotion on its skin or it gets the hose again.

QUOTE (JoeCoolMan24 @ Jul 12, 2010 -> 10:24 PM) Wow. Might as well as just said Albert Pujols there. I am hoping he can be the AL version of Pablo Sandoval. I think that Viciedo has the potential to be a Miguel Caberra type hitter SLG wise - but down a bit on the OPS / AVE.

QUOTE (scenario @ Jul 12, 2010 -> 10:29 PM) He hits the ball extremely hard. I wanna see that kinda stuff for the next decade. I love this kid - he may end up being my next Frank Thomas. =)

QUOTE (chw42 @ Jul 12, 2010 -> 06:04 PM) but the price of getting hurt was really not worth the risk. =)

QUOTE (chw42 @ Jul 12, 2010 -> 05:48 PM) The point is that one catch shouldn't mold your entire opinion or sway your opinion about somebody's playing abilities. I can probably pick out 20 plays that Carlos Quentin should have made, but didn't. Looks like I'm wrong - is is a criminal out there in right field...

QUOTE (chw42 @ Jul 12, 2010 -> 05:40 PM) Yup, had he ran a good route to the ball, he wouldn't have missed three games as a result. Yea - looks like he had a horrid route to the ball after watching the video of the play.

QUOTE (chw42 @ Jul 12, 2010 -> 05:40 PM) Yup, had he ran a good route to the ball, he wouldn't have missed three games as a result. If his defense was horrid - that would have been a triple. =)

QUOTE (chw42 @ Jul 12, 2010 -> 05:29 PM) No, it really is horrid.

QUOTE (chw42 @ Jul 12, 2010 -> 05:26 PM) Carlos Quentin hits well enough to get into MVP consideration, despite his horrid defense. I don't think his D has been horrid. I mean - come on... horrid? NOT EVEN CLOSE! =)

QUOTE (T R U @ Jul 12, 2010 -> 06:53 AM) Yeah, it says they would try to convince him.. Pretty sure Peavy didnt wanna come here at first either but that happened as well.. if we trade with Houston I want Berkman and Oswalt.. but I dont think Oswalt would change his stance on playing here.. Do you know what his objection to playing here is?

Everyone loves the beckham
