MLBtraderumors brings up a good point about the Sox possibly trying to get Jackson just to flip him to the Nats for Dunn. It was either Olney or Rosenthal who said today that nobody may like a certain player more than the Nationals love Jackson.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Jul 30, 2010 -> 12:22 AM) Then I take it you're fine with Garcia/Hudson rounding out the rotation? And I don't want to trade Hudson. But if we could get Jackson without giving up Hudson I'd be pretty pleased. Jackson has been pretty hit or miss this year. But he consistently hits 95 MPH with his FB and his slider is + when it's on. He's actually been pretty good in his last 15 starts: 4.24 ERA, .247 BAA, 7.67 K/9. The walks are obviously what's hindered him. I mean, just like Ted Lilly, if we are getting him so we can then get a bat, then fine. But if we are getting Jackson without the intent of adding a big bat, then nevermind. I'm just not an Edwin Jackson fan. Even when he throws a no-hitter he looks pretty unimpressive doing it.

What would the Royals want for Kila? http://web.minorleaguebaseball.com/milb/st...&pid=451500 Has some pretty gaudy numbers with that .462 OBP and 1.055 OPS. Dude walks a TON and doesn't strike out too much. 26-year-old power lefty. I am not up to speed with the Royals farm system, so I don't know how much they value him, but I wonder if he would come cheaper than Dunn or Berkman.

Uhmm.....no thanks.

QUOTE (SoxFan562004 @ Jul 29, 2010 -> 11:19 PM) Same with me, I love Dunn as an offensive player but that's way too much for 2 months I agree. I'll bite on Hudson and Danks, or Hudson and Flowers. But if it's Hudson and Viciedo or Hudson and Morel......then PASS.

QUOTE (SoxFan1 @ Jul 29, 2010 -> 10:46 PM) CSN will be re-airing The Club starting in mid-to-late August. Cool, so when it finally becomes available on a channel I actually, I will go off to school and still not be able to see it.

Rios is having possibly the worst night you can have offensively without recording a strikeout.

Damn, Comcast Sports Net certainly jumped all over that trade before even MLB Trade Rumors has the names hammered out.

"Chris Sale faced Zack Cozart and Yonder Alonso tonight in Louisville. Struck out both, on six pitches"

QUOTE (Thunderbolt @ Jul 29, 2010 -> 08:20 PM) I love how they still play Your Love whenever Beckham gets a hit. Gordon said that a lot of fans complained about him changing his song, so he decided to compromise and said he will have them play Your Love if he gets a hit, so in other words, he felt he was not playing well enough to warrant the song, so when he gets a hit he gets rewarded with hearing the song play. ] It's working.

QUOTE (Brian @ Jul 29, 2010 -> 08:17 PM) Castro making us forget about 'Dre

Hell yes Gordon!

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Jul 29, 2010 -> 08:06 PM) I wonder if Torres has been traded. That's what I was thinking. Torres is not a top-tier guy in our system like Flowers, Danks, Hudson, Viciedo, and Morel, but I would certainly put him as our 2nd best trading chip pitching wise. Torres himself could be a centerpiece of a smaller trade.

Morel now 2/3 with 2 2B.

Kotsay ground out to 2nd. NO F'ING WAY! DFA please....

Carlos Torres removed after 75 pitches of 5 inning shut out ball, 2 hits, 1 BB, 6 K.

Scott Merkin notes via Twitter that Carlos Torres was removed after 5 shutout innings tonight and only 75 pitches. Either they have a hard pitch count on him, or he may be included in a trade. OR they wanted to pull him after having a really nice outing so they don't jeopardize him having a rough 6th inning and hurting his value over the next 40 hours or so.

Atta boy Q-uperman.

QUOTE (TomPickle @ Jul 29, 2010 -> 07:57 PM) Welp, I'm stupid. Honestly, I didn't read it as sarcasm, considering Beckham was up.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 29, 2010 -> 07:55 PM) Who's faster, Konerko or Castro? I can confidently say Konerko is faster.

Get it Omar! Sox lead!

HELL YES!

Come Juan, a single here cuts the lead in half

Very nice start for Collop. 6 IP, 5 H, 1 ER, 0 BB, 8 K. Collop has 90 K to 21 BB in 110 IP. Very nice peripherals. Needs to cut down on the hits and runs he allows though.

Morel is 1/2 with a 2B so far.
