So I wonder when Carlos Quentin gets traded to Milwaukee for Wily Peralta. EDIT: Ah, beat me to it.

QUOTE (juddling @ Dec 10, 2011 -> 11:33 PM) Flipping around Netflix streaming tonight I noticed that the first (and only) season of Terriers is on. I already miss that show. Terriers was a great show.

QUOTE (flavum @ Dec 10, 2011 -> 02:51 PM) Furcal back to Cardinals for 2 years. Cross them off the list for Alexei. Why are people looking at replacing Alexei? We have him for the next 5 seasons at a pretty fair price, and we have literally no foreseeable SS talent in our minor league system that could take over.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Dec 9, 2011 -> 10:39 AM) Modern Family is still a super funny show, but it definitely has fallen from its peak a bit. WTF was with that stun gun scene? A show like that shouldn't resort to awful forced physical comedy like that. Yeah, that stun gun scene was way over done. Funny when he first got zapped, but you wouldn't react like that for so long. And why not just drop the card before you continue to crush it? It was dumb. I was laughing my ass off though when Ed O'Neil said "No, I think you ARE the Christmas sweater." Hahaha

QUOTE (greg775 @ Dec 9, 2011 -> 03:25 AM) Another great media take. Why oh why wasn't Kenny fired? http://www.chicagotribune.com/sports/rosen...,5827118.column You were willing to give Buehrle 4 yrs/$58M? I sure as hell wasn't, and I can't imagine many people here were.

Also, League was pretty good as always. Didn't think Taco's "NeckFlix" venture was very funny though. Also, I want to see Raffi back in it. Hasn't shown up in like 5 episodes.

QUOTE (Milkman delivers @ Dec 9, 2011 -> 01:44 AM) It was funny and strange, as just minutes before the episode, I wondered if they ever mentioned Mac's full name on the show. I wonder if McDonald's was never mentioned in the episode for legal purposes. I figured there would be a bunch of "Big Mac" and jokes about him being fat and named after the food chain.

I was just suprised how little the Sox did. I'm glad they are not settling for the first deal they get offered (except for Santos I guess), but it would be a huge mistake to go in to the season with Danks and Thornton and Quentin. I get that people want to trade Floyd, but I don't see trading him as a need. Danks and Thornton and Quentin will be gone soon. Floyd still has a couple years left, and is still possible to re-sign, so I don't think we need to push a trade for him as much as the other 3.

QUOTE (fathom @ Dec 7, 2011 -> 10:09 PM) Sounds like CJ Wilson might pull the trigger for the Marlins soon. I'll be very surprised if the Rangers don't go hard after Danks. Johnson, Wilson, Buehrle is a helluva 1-2-3.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Dec 7, 2011 -> 09:42 PM) Hudson, Allen, C. Young for Danks, Floyd, Thornton??? Deal. I wouldn't even do that deal.

I think I'd rather keep Beckham though. At the very least, he plays very good D at 2B. I prefer my 2B suck than my corner OF.

QUOTE (striker @ Dec 7, 2011 -> 09:32 PM) @globlair Beckham to Blue Jays for Snider? Hmmm...who plays 2B? The Bridge and Escobar?

QUOTE (Jerksticks @ Dec 7, 2011 -> 01:53 PM) So is this the major league ready talent KW was talking about? Sure doesn't look that way on the surface So, Sox scouting must have absolutely coveted this guy to make this trade; that's what excites me. I have faith in our pitching scouting. Maybe we are flipping him for a bigger piece? If I recall correctly, Paddy signed Molina and was really pushing Kenny about how good he is.

QUOTE (SOXOBAMA @ Dec 7, 2011 -> 04:37 PM) Goldschmidt would look great in a Sox uniform That guy just has stupid power. I'd like to see him and Stanton in a HR derby.

QUOTE (Special K @ Dec 7, 2011 -> 04:32 PM) JCM2, do you think Morel is the 3rd base of the future? Sure. I hardly think we have seen enough of him to give up on him. I mean, he already plays stellar defense, and September showed us what he is capable of with his bat (8 HR and almost a .900 OPS), then I think he will be just fine at 3B for the future.

QUOTE (Special K @ Dec 7, 2011 -> 04:21 PM) Marlins are now shopping Hanley Ramirez... and looking to add a lefty starter. If they get Pujols they won't have money to sign Buehrle or C.J. Wilson. We could offer Danks and Morel, and whoever else they might want. Sox desperately need a third baseman. Obviously Hanley doesn't want to play there, but maybe Alexei would. If I were Kenny I would look for a Danks trade to the Marlins. If we hadn't move Santos either and they hadn't just signed Heath Bell, that would have been a solid addition to the trade. Obviously this is a Dark Horse people... We don't "desperately need a third basemen". Anyway, I think if anything, I would move Alexei back to 2B, and have Beckham and Morel fight for 3B. Someone needs to push Gordon, and at this point I'm not so sure that Morel wouldn't have a better 2012 than Beckham anyway. But regardless, this is not happening.

QUOTE (Eminor3rd @ Dec 7, 2011 -> 03:03 PM) What do we do with Parra though? Put him in RF after we move Quentin. Our OF would be Viciedo-Rios/De Aza-Parra.

QUOTE (TheHugeUnit @ Dec 7, 2011 -> 03:01 PM) The DBacks could take Danks in the Rule 5 draft for $50,000 Or someone else could select him first. He is just a throw-in in the trade.

Gavin Floyd and Jordan Danks to Arizona for Gerardo Parra and Patrick Corbin/Wade Miley.

Oh boy, could this be it??? @d_a_cameron David Cameron Marlins making an official announcement in media room at 11:15

QUOTE (Eminor3rd @ Dec 7, 2011 -> 11:23 AM) FWIW, Rockies just traded Huston Street for literally nothing. PTBNL and salary relief. Just because it's a PTBNL doesn't mean it's "nothing". Could still be a legit prospect or someone from the 2011 draft.

The Dodgers need an OF and a reliever? Oh hey, how does Carlos Quentin and Matt Thornton work? I don't know the Dodgers system very well, but P Nate Eovaldi and C Tim Federowicz?

The more I read about Molina and talk to people, the less I am liking this deal. It appears Sickel was the only person very high on Molina, and a lot of people seem to not respect his opinion in the baseball community. Goldstein said Molina would be about #10 or #11 in Jays system, and was apparently #18 on Baseball America's unofficial Jays rankings. Makes me wonder if Molina was really as "untouchable" as Jays fans thought, or if AA was just trying to drive up the perceived value of him and when he made this deal made Kenny feel like he got AA to "cave in" to letting go of Molina, but really never thought as highly of him as he lead on. I don't know, it just worries me how many people think he may just be a reliever, and the fact that most of his success comes from A-ball.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Dec 6, 2011 -> 10:00 PM) Thornton & Rios for Bay? That would save the Sox a year of an awful contract It was the Pagan trade.

@Joelsherman1 Joel Sherman Can confirm that #Mets deal of Pagan to #Giants for Torres and Ramirez is done
