QUOTE (knightni @ Aug 31, 2010 -> 09:41 PM) Why not Lucy? Agreed, kind of shocked on Lucy and thought maybe two more pitchers as well.

So, again, what's the roster move for tomorrow.................................I still say Torres.

This is one of the non game threads of the year, great question and unless there is an MLB rule, that architect should have been fired.

QUOTE (knightni @ Aug 29, 2010 -> 09:25 PM) I wonder if they DL Kotsay with Back Stiffness. Don't you think KW sends Torres down because rosters expand Wednesday and then call him back when his ten day commitment or whatever expires.

Ozzie wants a third catcher, probably Lucy, but maybe T-Flow.

KW is just in a big stare down with Coletti and he (KW) really holds all the cards, every day Manny is not in the line up, Colleti is looking at spending $4 million for a useless player, he will be on the road with the Sox next week, book it!!

Do the Dodgers owe Manny $4 million this year and $3 million next year in deferred money as well, or does the $4 million that is owed take into account next year's deferred money? Basically, is Manny owed $7 million total or $4 million, if it's 7 we have no chance.

Did I read that right in the Twitter updated that Petrika has given up 7 unearned runs?

QUOTE (JPN366 @ Aug 25, 2010 -> 10:39 PM) I hope I've seen the last of him. Agreed, chalk it up to a bust and move on. Same kind of career as Wyatt Allen, had high hopes.......fizzle........

QUOTE (Quinarvy @ Aug 25, 2010 -> 09:51 PM) What logic did they use in getting McCulloch in the first round? It was either in the College World Series or the regionals, he pitched against another first rounder pick who had better stuff and beat him, Schaefer then fell in love with him, terrible draft pick, did not have potential form the start. Hello overdraft.

Isn't Threets on a rehab assignment and pitched the other day?

Threets for sure, hate the thought of Torres in a relief role. The lack of availability for relief pitchers tonight almost cost us a game, I'm surprised that Putz was cleared to pitch.

QUOTE (JoeCoolMan24 @ Aug 22, 2010 -> 09:06 PM) Don't forget Rienzo. He is dominating this year. Has he moved into top 10 prospect position in our organization?

We need to give Castro a look, if T-Flow is not ready and they are looking to part with AJP, not a bad option.

I know we have been critical of the lack of Sox signings, but it sure looks like at this point getting Sale was a steal.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Aug 17, 2010 -> 03:10 PM) Great news for Josh. If the Sox were willing to trade T-Flow and Jackson for Dunn they must think Phegley is close to being major league ready.

The lack of spending on the draft is disappointing, hard to understand, but remember we did sign Alexi and Viciedo off of the international market so we have not been a complete failure there. The Sox give a contract number and hold pretty firm, it's very rare for KW and JR to make a late movement with money as they are so committed to the slot.

QUOTE (knightni @ Aug 15, 2010 -> 03:19 AM) Well... Today's the last day! Is the deadline today (Monday) or was it last night at 11 CT?

The Sox are not the last minute signing type of team, I don't think there is any chance that Grimes or Terry signs at the last minute, we waited for Morgado the same way last year. We have to accept the class that we have signed (I hope I'm wrong though)

Not sure about the whole team, but he definitely gets praise for helping out Rios and the whole placement of his hands issue. Alexi might be more Omar, but yes Walker deserves some credit.

Anyone know if Sale was even in uniform for Charlotte tonight or he is already on his way to Detroit waiting on a roster move?

Any word yet on a roster move for Sale yet?

This is also showing why we needed to keep Jackson or get another starter if he was flipped for Dunn, no major league ready starting pitching in the minors right now. Harrell was flat out lucky last Friday.

Thanks for being a team player Threets, it allows you to stay with club, get a major league salary as well and help our roster!!

I hope the Sox make a lot of promotions soon with some of the new guys to clear out some of the dead weight to see what we have the last month of the minor league season. (Gilmore, Wilkens, etc)
