QUOTE (maggsmaggs @ Jul 29, 2011 -> 02:58 PM) I just can't buy that. But if they really want a .675 OPS hitting corner outfielder for a playoff run, then they can be stubborn. Agreed. Just speculation at the moment.

Probably unrelated, but Travis Wood was pulled from his AAA start tonight.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Jul 29, 2011 -> 12:06 PM) Is Alonzo playing the OF these days? Yes. He's also a pretty bad defender though. They called him up when they traded Gomes. Dusty indicated Alonso will be coming off the bench.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Jul 29, 2011 -> 11:57 AM) So, lets say Pence goes to ATL for some pitching. We then have: Phils Red Sox Reds in the mix for Quentin. The Reds have some catching prospects that interest me. Also, if the Reds are in on Quentin, they clearly aren't confident in Heisey or Alonso.

Don't feel like wading through this ongoing playoff discussion to search, but has their been any relevant Quentin news or rumors today?

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jul 29, 2011 -> 08:00 AM) That was my first thought. Who do they have left? Jacob Turner, and Nick Castellanos pretty much.

QUOTE (Real @ Jul 28, 2011 -> 09:29 PM) We're not adding payroll, this csn guy is just speculating That's what I'm getting from it as well.

QUOTE (Heads22 @ Jul 28, 2011 -> 09:22 PM) The guy from CSN: Keep your eyes on KW; the payroll trim of E Jack City/Teahen deal means it's more likely #WhiteSox ADD payroll than cut in next deal Erm. That's the direct opposite of what others have been saying.

QUOTE (103 mph screwball @ Jul 28, 2011 -> 08:39 PM) How long would it take Dominic Brown to be ready to start for the Sox? How many years away? Is he a raw talent? He's already in the majors.

QUOTE (hi8is @ Jul 28, 2011 -> 08:28 PM) Of course it won't I'm just trying to illustrate a point - try and gut a team for Q and then move on and keep trading off valuable pieces. If not, don't trade Q and stand pat. Looks like Hunter Pence is off the table now. Let the fight for Quentin begin. Philly VS. Atlanta... *ding* *ding* Pence isn't off the table. It's becoming more and more likely he's dealt.

QUOTE (beckham15 @ Jul 28, 2011 -> 07:02 PM) if we can get rid of rios and get something decent in return i think i'll wet myself Your only hope would be Gamel. The Brewers farm system is more empty than the Sox.

cst_Cowley Disappointing to hear, but was just told that KW doesn't really believe in this team and is looking to ship more bodies out. 1 minute ago Favorite Retweet Reply

QUOTE (maggsmaggs @ Jul 28, 2011 -> 12:23 PM) I would be so down for a Arodys Vizcaino for Quentin move. Any of their young pitching would be fantastic.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jul 28, 2011 -> 10:48 AM) I'd take that in a heartbeat. I'd imagine Kenny would too.

Jayson Stark Not impossible. Not likely. Been on #Phillies radar screen since winter. RT @tjgrady @jaysonst %chance that Quentin comes to Philly? #trades 5 minutes ago Favorite Retweet Reply

Rosenthal continues to mention the Phils/Q connection.

Odd. Don't the Brewers want some infield depth? Omar?
