I too was thinking that Williams is definitely going to be DFAd after giving up that hit and being immediately yanked.

QUOTE (JoeCoolMan24 @ Jun 30, 2010 -> 03:58 PM) I'm not opposed to offering the Brewers Danks + Flowers for Fielder, or some package around Danks. I am. Scott Boras is his agent. The Sox never deal with Boras when it comes to large contracts. The price for Fielder is going to be somewhere in the 5/125 million neighborhood. So you would be giving up a top notch LEFTY starting pitcher AND one of your top prospects for a rental. Plus Fielder looks like he weighs 400lbs. Those knees could go out any minute holding up all that weight. No thanks.... Not for Danks. Or Floyd. Or Flowers. Or Hudson.

Somebody forgot to use the green text again. Shame on you.

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Jun 30, 2010 -> 03:33 PM) Yeah, they can't ask for that. For starters, if they're trading Fielder, it wouldn't be to acquire guys that are 2 years away from free agency anyways, and the Sox wouldn't give up either Danks or Floyd for Fielder anyways. Any package begins with 2 of Flowers, Viciedo, and Hudson, and it's entirely possible that all 3 would have to be included. I think all of these prices will fall dramatically as we get closer to the trade deadline. I guess we just have to be patient and wait it out.

QUOTE (chisox2334 @ Jun 30, 2010 -> 02:55 PM) WEDNESDAY, 1:48pm: Nationals GM Mike Rizzo never talked to White Sox GM Kenny Williams about Dunn, tweets MLB.com's Bill Ladson. Meanwhile Ladson's colleague Scott Merkin passes along via Twitter a Rizzo comment made on ESPN's Waddle & Silvy show today: "For us to move [Dunn] will be very painful and it will probably be very painful for the team that wants to acquire him." Here's the audio from ESPN Radio. from mlbtraderumors.com Kenny will strike on a player not so specfic on the radar and will be shocked like always. Rizzo is playing hard ball. Let him go to the Angels.

QUOTE (WCSox @ Jun 30, 2010 -> 01:10 PM) I wouldn't mind Quentin-for-Dunn, and then trading a couple of prospects for DeJesus. Man that's a tough one... Quentin is just now starting to come out of his funk. I think I'd have to pass on that.

QUOTE (whitesoxfan101 @ Jun 30, 2010 -> 11:34 AM) Is LaRoche enough though? I think we need either 1 really big bat or 2 respectable ones . LaRoche and David DeJesus would be nice. I'll stop dreaming now.

Cowley on the score right now... is saying that Mike Rizzo really likes Carlos Quentin and would want him for Dunn... On a side note... Man, Cowley is a really pompous a-hole. I hope he goes to New York or someplace else far away.

QUOTE (chw42 @ Jun 30, 2010 -> 09:40 AM) And man, this guy looked like a perennial all-star 7 years ago. Shhh... don't tell Kenny that..

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Jun 30, 2010 -> 09:02 AM) i think you answered your own question I was just interested to hear what others thought.

I don't know but I don't think Blalock would put the team over the top.

He's been released by the Rays. I don't think he'll help the the Sox out much. Thoughts?

Viciedo launches one tonight.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Jun 29, 2010 -> 12:37 PM) Chase Blackwood for Prince Fielder, would you do it? You better hope girlslikebaseballtoo#26 doesn’t wander over here from the FutureSox board. I think if she sees this post, she's going to kick you in the nuts.

Wait... isn't he talking about Santos Rodriguez? Are you talking about Sergio Santos?

QUOTE (Kalapse @ Jun 29, 2010 -> 09:14 AM) Which could account for the decreased walk rate, he's only walked 8 times in the month of June but he's hitting .300, he's been making a conscience effort to put the ball in play more, not sure how long that will last since it's just not his game. I could care less about strikeouts when he's putting up a near .400 wOBA. I don't see much more upside in an infield popup compared to K. With Dunn also comes the shift which means next to no double plays, keep that in mind also. Good post. I still don't know if I would give up Hudson or Flowers for Dunn though. Maybe Torres and Morel or Retherford or Danks 2 or someone like that.

Is anyone here concerned about Dunn's strike outs and decreasing walk rate? Plus the .276 batting average is the highest of his career.

QUOTE (Knackattack @ Jun 28, 2010 -> 03:54 PM) Oh lord ouch. Thought he was more useful in the field than that. Back to the LaRoche boat. There are more than a couple other teams out there looking at LaRoche though.

QUOTE (Knackattack @ Jun 28, 2010 -> 03:16 PM) We should really just go after Ty Wiggington. He can play multiple positions and has just solid enough a bat to plug that haggard ass hole at DH. He keeps everyone fresh and he has been semi respectable at 3B this season (-2.7 UZR), he's hit 13 homers this year and has a .357 wOBA. He isn't expensive and should be pretty easily attained. Isn't he a righty? We want a lefty. Gavin Floyd, Flowers and Vicedo for Joey Votto

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jun 27, 2010 -> 12:56 PM) Seriously, people are talking about trading for a starting pitcher and aren't thinking that's overkill? You know what? It wouldn't surprise me one bit if KW did trade for a starting pitcher - then turned around and used Floyd or Danks plus some prospects in a mega trade for someone that would have all of us (in a good way) going WTF.. I'm telling you that's how that guy works.

QUOTE (TitoMB @ Jun 27, 2010 -> 11:23 AM) why go for morneau when you can go for pujols? Seriously, where is Morneau going when his contract is up? The Twins won't be able to resign him with Mauer's contract taking up so much money, will they? Plus, eventually they're going to wanna move Mauer to first base, right?

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Jun 28, 2010 -> 11:27 AM) Por Favor. Gracias.

QUOTE (mr_genius @ Jun 26, 2010 -> 06:44 PM) that pitch that hit q wasn't a big deal. i would rather not give a free pass Now can we drill somebody?

I kind of want to see some retaliation. The Cubs have hit the Sox too much.

Dream? I would call that a nightmare - unless you're a Mariners or Astros fan.
