Seriously, whoever put the arb thing in the headline...thanks.
It's early and I just woke up so give me a break if I sound like a retard but..
Recap: are you saying we should trade him now because ARB will not be offered and we won't get any picks for him anyway?

Are you serious? Louder BBBBBZZZZZZZZZZZZZ? f*** the world cup, I'm gonna watch something else.
That s*** is annoying, sounds like one giant nasty FLY or something
My picks for tomorrow:
South Korea 1:1 Greece, but I can see Greece taking this one 1:0
Argentina will put on a offensive clinic and win 3:0, maybe 4:1
Finally I see England edging team USA 2:1 after a very very close game.
With that said, GO TEAM USA!!!

Red Sox firing on all cylinders, 12 runs still in the third inning.

France is so brutal to watch. I was starting to think they'd get a typical late winner even before that red. At least it sets up for an exciting final day of matches in that group.
Anelka looked brutal (from what I saw and I was back and forth between Sox and this).

We dumped Thome and Contreras last year and didn't rebuild. Unloading soon to be free agents for a minor leaguer or 2 while saving a little cash is a good way to "reload" or "retool" (if that's at all possible) it's not necessarily a sign of rebuilding. Unloading Rios on the other hand would signify and all out rebuilding process as he is a huge part of this team's near future, AJ on the other hand likely is not that's why it would be ok to deal him and hope to contend next season.
Understood, I guess a lot depends on if Tyler Flowers can contribute this season.

Any player he would acquire that's going to contribute is going to cost us prospects.. there is no way you can look at this teams performance through right now and justify trading prospects to try and make a run..
We already have a slim system as it is, Kenny cant be that stupid to give away the little we still have for some false hopes of catching the Twins this season.. it just isn't gonna happen..
I understand, but if we trade him for prospects that means we indeed are rebuilding and that's against what Kenny said and against what Peavy 'wants'.

Oz: "I talked to A.J. a couple of days ago and said, 'Listen man, you're not going to get traded' "
Either Ozzie is trying to get credit for AJ's performance or he really isn't getting traded.

the worst possible thing to happen is for us to beat up on these National League teams
especially with another Cubs series and a Pirates and Nationals series, sigh, KW might be trying to ADD to this mess if we don't watch out..
Well, if he goes for a player that's ready to contribute now would be really nice.
