QUOTE (Heads22 @ Jun 30, 2010 -> 05:17 PM) Andruw Jones should be closer to DFA than DH. Mark Kotsay needs to be the first to go.

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Jun 30, 2010 -> 04:22 PM) That could blow up in our face with Greinke most likely making him look foolish tonight. Egg on your face when HoT FiRe takes him deep.

QUOTE (Quinarvy @ Jun 30, 2010 -> 03:59 PM) Law was hired by Riccardi. And Ozzie Ball, yes, our system sucks. Daniel Hudson does not. Remember Klaw's quote about Hudson? http://espn.go.com/sportsnation/chat/_/id/...sider-keith-law That shows me he failed to do any research whatsoever. Hudson dominated at all 4 stops and was OK last year when he was up here. He then says "Unless he stunk." That shows he didn't even follow Hudson and was unsure if he was good or bad. In other chats he said he expected the Hudson hate, so it just kinda shows that he hates the Sox or that he just didn't feel like including the MiLB Pitcher of the Year on his 100 Prospects Or when he made the joke about dressing up as Alexei for Halloween by just wearing a black shirt and swinging a baseball bat around aimlessly, never hitting anything. And this was in 2008 after Alexei hit .290 and had an 81% contact rate, which is pretty decent.

QUOTE (chisox2334 @ Jun 30, 2010 -> 04:07 PM) it's called stop crying about kotsay. What's wrong with kotsay playing tonight? do you want jones or lillibridge instead? Yes, yes I do.

I'm not opposed to offering the Brewers Danks + Flowers for Fielder, or some package around Danks.

QUOTE (chisox2334 @ Jun 30, 2010 -> 02:49 PM) Pierre LF, Vizquel SS, Rios RF, Konerko 1B, Quentin RF, Kotsay DH, Pierzynski C, Viciedo 3B, Beckham 2B. Holy Shiz!

Morel went 1/3. AVG at .263

QUOTE (Kalapse @ Jun 29, 2010 -> 10:13 PM) Gavin Floyd and Mark Buehrle both picked up quality starts the past 2 nights. Not entirely sure how. Take it to Greinke tomorrow and go into Texas with another series win on our resume. I believe 6 IP, 4 ER or less is considered a quality start.

QUOTE (Ozzie Ball @ Jun 29, 2010 -> 10:05 PM) I feel like this was covered today. I think it was, sometime after I posed almost the exact same question. I think someone said he is scheduled to pitch on Friday. Not sure why it took over a week to get his first bullpen session though....

QUOTE (Mattchoo @ Jun 29, 2010 -> 08:33 PM) Why am I the only Sox fan that wants absolutely no part of Adam Dunn. I feel like it's an insult to our fan base trading for him when we could have signed Thome this offseason. My wish list is Prince Fielder or Adrian Gonzalez... I know that is unrealistic, but I'm thinking long term contending I agree, but at this point we can't just sit here w/ Kotsay and kick dirt around hoping we had Thome.

Kotsay for sure. He needs to go away.....

QUOTE (greg775 @ Jun 29, 2010 -> 09:00 PM) Sox need to complete the deal tonight. Zack is gonna be a huge favorite to beat us tomorrow night. I bet Vegas lists it as -240. IIRC, we are pretty good against Grienke. And Peavy is on quite a hot streak right now....

Not a good job baserunning by Viciedo there....

Hot Fire baby! 2-2 with a BB*

QUOTE (GoodAsGould @ Jun 29, 2010 -> 08:24 PM) Damn, Morel is starting to get into territory where I dont really want to trade him. Anyone have any idea of what his upside is in the big leagues? Joe Crede with less power, but hits for higher avg. Both play great defense, both don't strike out very much.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Jun 29, 2010 -> 08:44 PM) How come no hate for our offensive performance last inning? QUOTE (JoeCoolMan24 @ Jun 29, 2010 -> 08:29 PM) Bases loaded, 0 outs = No runs. Looks too familiar.

QUOTE (justBLAZE @ Jun 29, 2010 -> 08:33 PM) Both Jones and Kotsay are brutal, if I'm to guess I think Jones goes. We are paying him less. God that would suck. Jones > Kotsay Any day of the week.

Bases loaded, 0 outs = No runs. Looks too familiar.

Oh god, please get Dunn so we can DFA Kotsay.....

QUOTE (OilCan @ Jun 29, 2010 -> 07:42 PM) Morel with a solo shot, but the Knights trail Norfolk 3-1, 6th inning. Harrell doing OK. Morel added another solo shot in the 7th. 2-3, 2 HR, 2 RBI. AVG up to .263

QUOTE (WCSox @ Jun 29, 2010 -> 08:05 PM) Multi-player deal? That's what I was thinking. I doubt they are just scouting Dunn. Maybe they are looking at Morgan/Bernadina as well.

QUOTE (Kalapse @ Jun 29, 2010 -> 08:16 PM) Gordon over his last 5 games (15 PA): .357/.333/.857/1.190. Could mean something, could mean nothing I don't know, I'm not a doctor. Probably nothing. Gordon has been pretty inconsistent this year (or consistently bad, whichever).

QUOTE (iamshack @ Jun 29, 2010 -> 08:14 PM) Twins Yeah, if we win, and the Twins win, we are 1.5 back. If we win, and the Tigers win, we are 2 games back.

Nice hustle Gordon! He is a great baserunner.

Dayan wasn't even close to going around.....ugh.
