QUOTE (SoxFan1 @ Jul 30, 2010 -> 11:54 AM) When SEA has Ichiro and Gutierrez out there... Considering they run Milton Bradley out there on a good amount of nights, I'd say the White Sox still take the cake.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Jul 30, 2010 -> 11:53 AM) I'd faint if we somehow acquired Markakis. He's a lot like Rios. Unbelievable skill/talent that has underachieved the last couple years. He was one of the best players in baseball in 2008. He's only 26 and signed through 2014. If we got Markakis, we would have the best defensive outfield in baseball and it wouldn't even be close.

QUOTE (docsox24 @ Jul 30, 2010 -> 11:50 AM) lind and marcum is also a dream Wasn't that the fifth proposal?

QUOTE (Jerksticks @ Jul 30, 2010 -> 11:46 AM) Haha, yea that bump in CF is pretty cool too; wonder if Santeliz gets that done? I heard that he's hurt. Astros may wait it out on Berkman. He could go through waivers.

QUOTE (SoxFan1 @ Jul 30, 2010 -> 11:44 AM) Here's some combo's that might be in play... Grienke/Guillen Markakis/Millwood or Guthrie Berkman/Myers Jackson/Upton (I freaking wish) Lind/Marcum Trying to think of some other surprise moves. The first, second, fourth, and fifth proposals are out dreams IMO.

QUOTE (JoeCoolMan24 @ Jul 30, 2010 -> 11:27 AM) Cowley or someone else suggests that 2 deals will be made. 1 is Hudson for Jackson, and the other is probably Jackson and others for someone big. Someone on MLBtraderumors suggests Fister and Kotchman or Myers and Berkman. Fister and Kotchman would be laughable.

QUOTE (Jenks Heat @ Jul 30, 2010 -> 11:03 AM) Has he had more than the one incident and was it as violent as it is being portrayed here? I thought there was an incident but did he beat the crap of her or was there an altercation? This is the street corner in Boston right? If Hudson goes, it has to be for a pitcher. It was one incident. Still, the guy just seems like a total ass hole. He played prank on Kyle Kendrick saying he got traded to Japan. The weird thing is that the entire clubhouse and front office was in on it.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jul 30, 2010 -> 10:58 AM) Ick. Hate giving away games like that. Yup, definitely sucks. But at least we know something will go down. The good news is that Fister is going against the Twins today and Felix is going tomorrow.

QUOTE (Frank_Thomas35 @ Jul 30, 2010 -> 10:56 AM) Harrell starting tonight. Looks like huddy is gone no matter Where did you get this from?

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Jul 30, 2010 -> 10:55 AM) Myers is a real prick, however, I will admit, he has good stuff. I still dont' like the idea of having a jag on our team. But if it meant we are able to move Huddy for a big bat and than get Myers for the right price, I might be able to live with it. But geeze, Myers is such a piece of s*** and we have such a likeable ball club. If Myers is good, nobody will say anything.

QUOTE (Kalapse @ Jul 30, 2010 -> 10:52 AM) BNightengale #mlb #white sox Sox GM Kenny Williams, the king of the trade deadline, is quietly exploring possibility of acquring Brett Myers from Astros 1 minute ago via web Man, it would really suck having such a piece of s*** on the ballclub. Can we please avoid players that I'm forced to actively root against? But Brett Myers has a 3.10 ERA and a 3.52 FIP... I guess you have to take the good with the bad sometimes.

QUOTE (wsgdf_2 @ Jul 30, 2010 -> 10:41 AM) jay_jaffe: "Like Haren, Edwin Jackson's been hurt by AZ defense/bad luck. .321 BABIP. 4.24 SIERA. " So not only is he in a hitter's park, but it's safe to say AZ's defense is much worse than Sox. Arziona's bad at everything. Their infield defense really does suck. Reynolds is a butcher. Kelly Johnson is below average. LaRoche is below average. The only good fielder is Stephen Drew and he's not even that good.

QUOTE (justBLAZE @ Jul 30, 2010 -> 10:37 AM) Markakis and Guthrie? is that a world shocker? I really do like Nick Markakis.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Jul 30, 2010 -> 10:35 AM) What have been the velocity readings on Jackson since the no-hitter? Has he sustained a loss since going almost 150 pitches in that outing? http://pitchfx.texasleaguers.com/pitcher/4...mp;to=7/29/2010 Virtually no difference. Fastball still averaging 94.1 MPH.

QUOTE (Athomeboy_2000 @ Jul 30, 2010 -> 10:28 AM) LMAO! @SI_JonHeyman - still seems to be optimism for #chisox, #dbacks deal. 3-way possibilities alive. chicago does like dunn, nats love jackson @pgammo (Peter Gammons) - Nats not that hot for Edwin jackson When given the choice of Heyman and Gammons, who would you choose? I'm still mad at Heyman for his VORPies article, which firejoemorgan.com totally ripped in half. That was nice to see.

QUOTE (SoxFan562004 @ Jul 30, 2010 -> 10:27 AM) Livan Hernandez and Dunn, I don't know how Livan does in the AL at this point, but he fits KW and Ozzie's mold of a player they would want IMO, that way in their mind they get a starer and a power bat Big no to Livan, HUGE NO.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jul 30, 2010 -> 10:21 AM) I think the sentiment that Kenny is trying to step in front of Washington to force their hand on Dunn makes the most sense, thought I do seem to remember the Sox putting in some groundwork to get Jackson when he was still with TB, right? I was thinking about this a couple of days ago and posted it in the Dunn thread (I think). But I think Kenny's looking at it his way: if he deals for Jackson, it's not the end of the world. You do bolster your pitching staff. However, his plan A is to get Dunn through Jackson.

QUOTE (Athomeboy_2000 @ Jul 30, 2010 -> 10:20 AM) Cowley - Here's what I've just been told - "If [KW] pulls this off, the Sox will be considerably better by tonight.'' Like.

QUOTE (SoxFan562004 @ Jul 30, 2010 -> 10:15 AM) honestly, depending on the move, so what? If it is a major move that makes them even more serious contenders and maybe a player who is locked up for a few years one game is one game... never want to give games away I agree but sometimes have to for the better, the Sox have games left with the Twins, if they can be stacked for those games I'll roll loaded dice tonight If it's for Dunn, Prince, or Berkman, I'll take that risk. But if it's really for Edwin freaking Jackson, I'm going to be pissed.

In case the Jackson deal does go down and he gets flipped to Washington, I just wanted to say that I called it a couple of days ago. Although I said Santos would be traded, not Hudson.

QUOTE (hawksox13 @ Jul 30, 2010 -> 10:10 AM) Yes they did. And the Sox are hitting very well as a team right now as well...and have won 11 games in a row at home. Just because the great Daniel Hudson most likely won't pitch tonight doesn't mean the Sox are "giving" the game away. You're forgetting that the Sox faced two really crappy Seattle pitchers, Rowland-Smith might be the worst pitcher in baseball. Brett Anderson's going tonight and I'd say he's one of the best young pitchers in the game, injury or not. By throwing a AAA pitcher or Tony Pena out there, you really decrease your chances of winning the game. It's not like you need to trade Hudson right now. You can wait until tomorrow. And more likely than not, the price will actually decrease, as Rizzo's isn't in the most desirable position with Dunn.

QUOTE (Kalapse @ Jul 30, 2010 -> 10:08 AM) Harrell's already on the 40 man is scheduled to go tonight for Charlotte, he makes the most sense as of right now even if he does suck. God, he's got a 73 Ks and 53 walks? That real bad.

QUOTE (hawksox13 @ Jul 30, 2010 -> 10:07 AM) They aren't playing the Yankees and they won't be just throwing the game away. They could easily let Pena throw four innings and then make the rest of the bullpen work through the game. Pena for four, Linebrink for one, Threets for one, and then Santos/Thorton/Jenks/Putz fill in. It's not the end of the world. Odds are Hudson would've gone five innings and gave up four runs anyway. The A's hit our bad pitchers pretty well in Oakland.
