Stockton Ports play by play man. Michael Ynoa pitched tonight. Gray and Ynoa could be part of a nice package.

QUOTE (IowaSoxFan @ Jul 26, 2013 -> 02:38 PM) Thats too bad, cause Alex Wood is the only player they have I would have much interest in. I really like Lucas Sims. Also really intrigued by Christian Bethancourt. The Braves are the last team I'd like to see the Sox deal Peavy to though.

QUOTE (ptatc @ Jul 26, 2013 -> 08:53 AM) This really wouldn't surprise me. You can never have enough pitching. A team needs to be 7 deep in quality starting pitching to win the WS. If the Six trade Peavy, do the have that? I don't think they trust Satiago's offspeed stuff yet. I'm not saying pitching is the primary piece of a trade, but they are probably insisting that pitching must be included. Yep. Surprised this hasn't been stated yet. There is indeed pitching at the major league level, but other than Erik Johnson there really isn't anything of significance as far as starters go. Rienzo is interesting but probably a bullpen arm. Also Hahn might have a preference towards position players here, but if a very highly valued pitching prospect with a high ceiling is on the table you very much consider it. IE Gausman and Baltimore. Gray and Oakland. It might also allow you to flip Quintana or Santiago down the road for more pressing needs.

QUOTE (bbilek1 @ Jul 25, 2013 -> 10:22 PM) I think Law is a douchebag but always love to hear his opinion. Sounds about right.

QUOTE (TaylorStSox @ Jul 25, 2013 -> 10:00 PM) Have you ever heard Law say anything good about anything, or anybody, related to the Sox? Seriously. Of course. Last week when discussing his top prospect list he was giving praise to Erik Johnson despite him not being in his top 50. He really liked the Courtney Hawkins draft pick at the time. Same with Andrew Mitchell this year. He was also on the radio yesterday saying Peavy should garner a bigger return than Garza. People don't like Law because he is a snarky prick most of the time, and thus they think he hates their team. It's not just White Sox fans. It's pretty obnoxious actually.

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Jul 25, 2013 -> 09:45 PM) I'm usually on the media isnt out to get the Sox wagon but Law through the years is to much but with Kenny no longer GM maybe he will rank Chris Sale in his top 50 under 25 He's admitted he was wrong on Sale multiple times. It's the nature of the business.

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Jul 25, 2013 -> 09:32 PM) Are you guys serious? It doesn't matter if Law actually hates the Sox, he's an objective analyst. He's not going out of his way to bash the Sox. While I fully agree, good luck with that argument around here.

QUOTE (Eminor3rd @ Jul 25, 2013 -> 04:03 PM) The guy is a 26 year old ML quality hitter. What does this team need more than that? I'd offer the opinion that its a bit early to consider him an ML quality hitter. He's also not that great of a catcher.

Some people in this thread are way too excited about Evan Gattis.

QUOTE (Dunt @ Jul 24, 2013 -> 11:03 PM) Braves have no intriguing prospects whatsoever Scouts rave over Christian Bethancourt, but the numbers don't match the glowing reports. I like him, but he's no centerpiece. Not yet at least.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 24, 2013 -> 10:40 PM) Kenny scouting the Pirates AA team http://www.chicagotribune.com/sports/baseb...,0,645531.story Polanco would be fantastic, but I'd imagine there would be more than Rios in the deal. Also noted Dickerson.

QUOTE (scs787 @ Jul 24, 2013 -> 10:29 PM) No thanks on Cecchini, at least as the centerpiece. This team lacks power, I don't want a guy who has 14 HRs total in 242 minor league games to play a power position like 3rd. I'd rather have Middlebrooks. Chicks don't dig walks. No power? He's OPSed .898, .827, 1.016 in three minor league seasons. Couple that with good defense, a discerning batting eye, a good hit tool, and you have a top 30 prospect in baseball. I can't understand why anyone would turn their nose up at Cecchini.

QUOTE (Dunt @ Jul 24, 2013 -> 10:23 PM) Definitely feel like he wont make his start tomorrow I'd be shocked if he didn't. He's only thrown to major league hitters once since his return from the DL.

Also worth noting, Kennedy being blown up again. This time by the Cubs.

QUOTE (Dunt @ Jul 24, 2013 -> 10:06 PM) Yes. Actually. They are/were kind of similar prospects when you look at the minor league numbers. Both slugging 3B with strikeout issues. I do like the possibility of Owings being in a package too though. If I could have any 3B being talked about in this thread though, I'd go with Option C: Cecchini.

20 games under!

I still hope Towers is waiting in the weeds, ready to send over Davidson.

QUOTE (Jake @ Jul 24, 2013 -> 09:15 PM) Maybe I'm being dumb, but I just don't like having a pitcher be the best part of a deal. Especially if this deal might be our only major move I will be supremely disappointed if this is the only major move.

QUOTE (Lemon_44 @ Jul 24, 2013 -> 08:58 PM) Would Middlebrooks, Ranaudo, and Brentz be enough in people's eyes as a return for Peavy? I want no part of Middlebrooks. Yuck.

QUOTE (NCsoxfan @ Jul 24, 2013 -> 09:00 PM) Looks like Tim Hudson is out for the year (and career?). Have the Braves just entered the Peavy sweepstakes? Not the greatest farm. Especially position players.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jul 24, 2013 -> 07:55 PM) Rios for Ervin Santana? wat

Whee. I can't wait for some trades to happen.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 24, 2013 -> 01:37 PM) I can't imagine they'd trade Russell. Then I'm not sure they have the pieces. Grant Green would have to be in the mix I'd imagine.

QUOTE (SoxPride18 @ Jul 24, 2013 -> 01:32 PM) A's could be dark horse team for Peavy says Jon Heyman. Addison Russell is a damn fine prospect despite his slow start. Big fan of Sonny Gray. Kind of tepid on Choice. Athletics are an interesting match but not my first choice.

Maybe I should post this here too since the Cards guy posts in this thread. Um. Really hope this isn't accurate. Martinez would be incredible for Alexei. Hell, Sickels has him as 9th best prospect in baseball on his newly released top 75. http://www.chicagotribune.com/sports/baseb...0,3745533.story
