QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Jul 28, 2011 -> 10:47 AM) Funny tweet I just read from a comedian I follow:

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jul 28, 2011 -> 02:49 PM) Now that his name has come up, I wonder how interested the Sox would be if they could get Seattle to pick up tons of that deal? Rios swap. But seriously, a kings ransom for Q? I'm down for that.

QUOTE (hi8is @ Jul 28, 2011 -> 02:30 PM) Though the Sox continue to look for starting pitchers, CBS Sports' Danny Knobler tweets that they're telling teams the focus is now a right-handed hitting outfielder. He notes that they would "almost certainly" try for White Sox right fielder Carlos Quentin, if Chicago makes him available. So, Phillies, Pirates, Braves, Red Sox. Those may be the best 4 teams in baseball now to be interested in your player. Now, the price should rocket due to demand. If the Phillies are offering Brown +, then the price for the other 3 needs to be #1 +. Sweet day.

QUOTE (SpainSOXfan09 @ Jul 28, 2011 -> 02:09 PM) Very tricky situation with D1 but you almost are guaranteed of a better haul with 1.5 years of him left than 0.5. And both are better hauls then watching him walk.

QUOTE (The '05 Sound @ Jul 28, 2011 -> 02:04 AM) If only KW & Gang knew what we knew by just watching condensed games But if that was the case where Stewart and Sale are the eventual take overs of Danks and Floyd, I can only imagine what we get for those two and where those players go. (Now im thinking way too into it, i guess its a bit late) If you ship Danks and Floyd, you should get a nice return on Floyd and kings package for Danks. Packaged together would have to net something amazing.

I like this get now that I see him pitch. I think under Buehrle and Coop, he'll flourish and he and Sale can step in for Danks and Floyd.

QUOTE (hi8is @ Jul 28, 2011 -> 01:41 AM) One thing I can say about this kid thus far is I like his approach on the mound. He's out there - just getting the ball - and throwing. In the 3rd here, he's got runners on second and third with two out. Gets ahead quickly 1-2 and then gets a grounder to second. Nice. Wonder if he's a Mark B. fan or if the #56 was just by chance. Isn't he from the Chicago Land? Nah, Texas. But he works like Buehrle, with good movement on his pitches. I'm excited to see him in September.

QUOTE (The '05 Sound @ Jul 28, 2011 -> 01:32 AM) The condensed game really funny to watch since all you hear is the ball hitting the mitt or the bat. I think he looks good on the mound and I hope we see him this season and he pitches well, he'll have to find a new number though. At first I thought "What a weird number." Then I was like "No, not weird."

QUOTE (hi8is @ Jul 28, 2011 -> 01:23 AM) Thanks! I think I'll give this game a watch. http://mlb.mlb.com/video/play.jsp?content_id=15969701 Condensed game.

QUOTE (Kalapse @ Jul 28, 2011 -> 12:56 AM) Regardless of whether or not we're actually interested in trading him right this second, this is frantastic news. We better not keep him.

QUOTE (Eminor3rd @ Jul 28, 2011 -> 12:42 AM) Guys, because Carlos Gomez broke his collarbone. They're literally playing Mark Kotsay in the OF. Remember Mark Kotsay? I've seen him make a couple OF errors this year. On ground balls. That rolled to him.

QUOTE (hi8is @ Jul 27, 2011 -> 10:52 PM) That pretty much sums my face up after reading this. It's so appropriate everywhere today.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Jul 27, 2011 -> 08:24 PM) Then we better get some offense out of 3B if we're going to roll with that kind of inexperience in the OF. I can't imagine strong season ticket renewals unless there's at least one significant improvement made somewhere coming into 2012. Addition by subtraction.

QUOTE (Marty34 @ Jul 27, 2011 -> 07:53 PM) There are a lot of moving parts involving the Sox right now. That said, I believe their best chance of winning a World Series this year is to have Sale in the rotation sometime this year. He's got the top of the rotation stuff needed to compete with the Red Sox and Yankees in a short series. Wonder if they are thinking outside the box with regards to him on 35th?

QUOTE (oldsox @ Jul 27, 2011 -> 07:39 PM) I just saw on the Sox web site that Zach Stewart is our #4 prospect. Viciedo, Reed, and...Thompson?

@cst_Cowley cst_Cowley Breaking News: The city of Toronto wanted me thrown in the deal, but Chicago said, "No way, not Mr. Handsome.'' Sorry Toronto. That's not douchey, not at all.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Jul 27, 2011 -> 07:40 PM) It said he confirmed it. Holy s***. Thats much better than the Toronto offer and frankly anything our offer would have been. Holy s***. That package would have been the best. QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Jul 27, 2011 -> 07:41 PM) The Sox have Frasor/Crain in the pen. Cowley is pissed. Last night he said no way the rumor was true. He got scooped by a guy in his underwear in his mom's basement. And it was so...un-hollywood.

QUOTE (Real @ Jul 27, 2011 -> 07:26 PM) We pretty much have the best bullpen in the AL, easily the best bullpen in the central. Frasor Crain Santos Ohman Sale Thornton Does Frasor replace Bruney?? And if he does, who do the Sox add to the pen to keep 12 pitchers? Do we bring back Santiago? I can see Santiago replacing Bruney now that Crain has help. QUOTE (RockRaines @ Jul 27, 2011 -> 07:30 PM) Wow. That's crazy if true. Mozeliak blew it.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jul 27, 2011 -> 06:40 PM) I agree. Third this.

QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Jul 27, 2011 -> 06:26 PM) Today is giving me a headache. Jackie Chan has got your back. QUOTE (Quinarvy @ Jul 27, 2011 -> 06:20 PM)

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 27, 2011 -> 06:21 PM) What are you referring to with these three PTBNL? And I'd be stunned if Upton doesn't go to the Nats. The PTBNL's are on the Jay's site.

QUOTE (Baron @ Jul 27, 2011 -> 06:06 PM) So was the Toronto trade And that's why I'm taking this one seriously at the moment.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 27, 2011 -> 06:03 PM) Not sure how much this guy knows who's posting these rumors. Hadn't posted anything in three months. It's just so out of left field though.

So, Santiago and Ohman would be the lefties in the pen next year? Assuming they want Sale in the rotation next year, Danks or Floyd would be gone. Throw in Stewart and Floyd would probably be gone. Rios gone means an OF is needed, unless it really is Milledge - De Aza - Viciedo. Or Gamel. If this deal is true, I see Quentin, Danks, and Floyd all disappearing in the next few days.
