Milledge went 2/3, BB, 2 SB. Hitting .299 now with 18 SB in 24 ATT.

QUOTE (SoxFan1 @ Jul 28, 2011 -> 08:44 PM) Apparently HOU turned down Brown/Singleton/Cosart AND another prospect for Pence. WTF. We'll take that. We'll gladly take that. PLEASE OFFER US THAT FOR QUENTIN! Yeah, but I'd rather have Pence than Quentin. No way the Sox get offered a package of even 2 of those 3 guys, let alone all 3 plus another prospect.

I would just like to point out it's RickIE Weeks, not RickY. Must be all you Teahan fans out there.

@Ken_Rosenthal Ken Rosenthal Source: Braves "hot" for Quentin - and #WhiteSox love ATL's young arms. One holdup...the condition of Viciedo's thumb at AAA. Would replace Quentin for #WhiteSox. Hasn't played since Saturday.

QUOTE (beck72 @ Jul 28, 2011 -> 10:45 AM) The Daily News writer covering the Phils proposed a Brown, Singleton and Cosart deal for Carlos on Tues. http://www.philly.com/philly/blogs/phillie...the-farm--.html It was interesting to see the 61 comments on his article. Would a 1 for 1 deal be that far fetched? LOL, WHAT? Is that a joke? f***ing s***, I would be fine if Kenny through in Matt Thornton and any prospect not named Viciedo/Reed if it meant Brown, Singleton, AND Cosart. That's beyond video-game level trade.

I hope, like last night. I will wake up to this rumor coming to fruition.

Kuhn had 2 doubles, and also had 2 OF assists, one at 3B and one at home.

QUOTE (Leonard Zelig @ Jul 27, 2011 -> 06:58 PM) if you're going to do that, why not try to trade for an actual 3B Ha, yeah that's what I was thinking. If you want to push Morel out of the spot, then replace him with another 3B, don't hope that Alexei can adjust, especially when he is superb defensive SS. Go after Aramis Ramirez if you aren't going to be patient with Morel.

QUOTE (Special K @ Jul 27, 2011 -> 07:02 PM) I realize Rios is by far the worst player on our team this year, but a year ago he was one of the best... I don't like the idea of buying high and selling low. There is a possibility of Rios bouncing back next year, hopefully with some extra motivation after this atrocious year, and moving somewhat towards the norm of his career which isn't bad, even though he is still terribly underpaid. The problem with letting Rios go is that we still don't have a CF unless De Aza is the guy. If Rios does have a bounce back year next year and put up decent numbers in line w. his career, an OF of Viciedo, Rios, and Quentin doesn't sound so bad. What do you mean? We bought very low on him, and are selling very low on him.

QUOTE (Stan Bahnsen @ Jul 27, 2011 -> 06:42 PM) With the 2015 buyout, it's closer to $41-42M I believe, including the remainder of this season. I'd guess we'll be coughing up $25M+. Yeah, for some reason I didn't carry a 1. Yeah, I figure its around $42-43M he has left.

QUOTE (Chet Kincaid @ Jul 27, 2011 -> 06:38 PM) 25 Million? You might as well keep him. [flameproof suit on] Yeah, but assuming that De Aza, Viciedo, Mitchell are his fill-ins for the remainder of his contract, the Sox are still saving money.

QUOTE (Cerbaho-WG @ Jul 27, 2011 -> 06:35 PM) Hollowell is a five star basketball recruit. It was a very big story in Indiana, and he got it dead wrong. *crickets*

Rios has, what, about $33M remaining on his deal? I would think the Sox would be eating around $20-25M of that, right?

QUOTE (The Ginger Kid @ Jul 27, 2011 -> 05:30 PM) I'm a big CQ fan but Dom Brown? wow...wow wow wow. There is no way we get Dominic Brown for CQ. I'd like to see if we can get our hands on Jesse Biddle though.

QUOTE (The Ginger Kid @ Jul 27, 2011 -> 05:21 PM) we should be more concerned that the bears are looking hard at signing Roy Williams. I'll slit my wrists... As a Cowboys fan I say, GOOD LUCK!

QUOTE (daa84 @ Jul 27, 2011 -> 05:13 PM) I understand why he gets a free pass. I just dont think he deserves a free pass, because, quite frankly, he really really really has stunk at baseball this year You will be hardpressed to find a team who has a #9 hitter who is providing good offense. And if you do, he is likely not a defensive stud like Morel is.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 27, 2011 -> 05:07 PM) No one ever said Rios and Dunn shouldn't be blamed for world hunger, Ocean's Twelve and Jericho being taken off the air. We all know they stink...but Morel has been a huge bust so far offensively. He asked why Morel gets a free pass offensively but Rios and Dunn do not. I answered.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 27, 2011 -> 04:59 PM) Doesn't mean he still doesn't suck on offense All 3 of those guys suck on offense, I am telling you why his case is DIFFERENT. Who are you going to give the more slack to, the guys who are making over $12M a year, doing terrible on offense, are aging veterans in the league, and while one is playing poor defense, the other plays almost NO defense, or the guy who makes league minimum, is doing terrible on offense, is a rookie in the league, and is playing great defense while hitting out of the 9th spot with very little expectations or reliance offensively? It's pretty damn easy to see why people are more pissed off about Rios and Dunn than Brent Morel. Did I really need to spell that out?

QUOTE (daa84 @ Jul 27, 2011 -> 04:54 PM) agreed. Has there ever been a player that has gotten more of a free pass than Morel? The rios and dunn struggles have really hidden the fact that this guy has been abysmal on offense The difference is Morel is a rookie who is playing great defense and making the league minimum. How angry can you be about that?

I heard he is awful at 3B. Corner OF for next year? Do we roll with Gamel-Rios-Viciedo next year in our outfield?

Well, he is murdering AAA right now..... .329/.396/.577/.974, 20 HR, 68 RBI, 34 BB, 54 K, 25 2B He turned 25 years old yesterday.

MOTHERf***ER, WIZARDS CAN'T DIE!!!

Ahahaaha. Nice swing Boesch!

OMG Q-UPERMAN!!!!!
