Adam Dunn

fathom would be happy.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ May 9, 2012 -> 12:13 PM) Why do you make things up? Red Sox general manager Ben Cherington said Kevin Youkilis (back) will retain his job as the starting third baseman when he's healthy, despite the strong start for Middlebrooks (hamstring), the Boston Globe reports. From the same aritlce I think: That's what Cherington should have said, what Sox players would have expected him to say -- according Youkilis the respect he deserves. But that doesn't mean Youkilis remains in a Sox uniform for the rest of the season. A trade of Youkilis this season is inevitable, and quite possibly sooner than later. Why the Boston Red Sox should trade Kevin Youkillis.

QUOTE (flavum @ May 9, 2012 -> 12:01 PM) Is he just throwing this out there as his idea, or is this an actual rumor with possibly different players involved? I think just idea, right after he said Cubs could use him and Dempster is a fit and that Youk is a Theo guy but doesn't really fit. QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ May 9, 2012 -> 12:02 PM) I added a line of clarification to the thread title so that people wouldn't freak out. Thank you.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ May 9, 2012 -> 11:58 AM) Only a Chicago writer would think that is a fair trade. It's also Rogers, I asked him politely if he has a source to this rumor, but that guy never writes back.

Why not?

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ May 9, 2012 -> 11:31 AM) http://msn.foxsports.com/mlb/story/chicago...-seasons-050912 Beat me to it, good piece.

Cooper dismissed the notion that Sale’s mechanics aren’t suited for the rigors of starting. http://www.suntimes.com/sports/baseball/wh...e-to-start.html This article. For the record I trust PTATC and the only beef I have with all this is the Sox keep I saying: "I don't know, we will see, who knows what happens" just seems like they dont have a plan.

Actually I Cooper said yesterday that Sale has good mechanics Let me find it.

QUOTE (JoeCoolMan24 @ May 9, 2012 -> 03:30 AM) To limit Sale's innings during the middle of the season, so he can be strong at the end, rather than let him pile up the innings now, and be shut down come September. Say they are limiting him to 170 innings this year, or what have you, maybe they slow down his pace over the summer, and then stretch him back out again maybe in July or something so by the time he reaches September, he might only be at like 130 innings, instead of 170, and can finish out the year strong, instead of being fatigued during a playoff push, and possibly playoff games. That was my theory when the news originally came out, so maybe that is their plan, maybe not. Interesting. Whatever it is I would like them to come out and say it straight up instead of telling us they they don't know and 'we'll see what happens.'

QUOTE (JoeCoolMan24 @ May 9, 2012 -> 02:47 AM) Maybe they really are doing what my theory was when it was announced last week. And that would be?

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ May 9, 2012 -> 12:38 AM) Maybe the best thing for a young arm really is to jerk it around.

POTY.

QUOTE (justBLAZE @ May 8, 2012 -> 11:37 PM) Daryl Van Schouwen ‏ @CST_soxvan Sale is not entrenched in bullpen. Cooper and Sale told me today he could return to the rotation this year. QUOTE (Heads22 @ May 8, 2012 -> 11:42 PM) I suddenly feel better. Just to follow up Van Schouwen said there will be a story on this in the paper tomorrow, as Ventura said on Friday his move to bullpen was for the rest of the season, but I guess they changed their mind? Interesting.

QUOTE (Heads22 @ May 8, 2012 -> 11:42 PM) I suddenly feel better. I really really dislike how things were handled with Sale, closing, Reed, Thornton, bullpen fiasco in the last few weeks. And I'm not even sure who to blame for this.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ May 8, 2012 -> 11:32 PM) So if it's not a story, then I guess every player gives quotes to the press talking about their lack of playing time and wishing that they could play more, correct? caulfield I want every single player on that bench saying he would like to play more! It's called ambition, and it's different than complaining about playing time. IMHO.

QUOTE (danman31 @ May 8, 2012 -> 11:28 PM) I guess what's the bigger embarrassment: losing in the first round as a 1 seed or being swept in the 2nd round? That's what's going to happen at this point. Please.

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ May 8, 2012 -> 11:23 PM) This is the quote: Unless you have a link to some other article, it seems like you are just creating controversy here where none exists. Your thread title is misleading. This.

QUOTE (SoxFan1 @ May 8, 2012 -> 10:33 PM) Against the Mariners. Same Mariners who are hitting Verlander around as we speak?

QUOTE (fathom @ May 8, 2012 -> 09:26 PM) BTW, congrats to Santiago on getting first career win What we know after today: Reed is a closer, Beckham is back? If Rios can keep it going then were left with 1 and a half of a hole in the lineup: Looking at Morel and Viciedo.
