Quin

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.

QUOTE (Baron @ Jul 27, 2011 -> 05:52 PM) So Thornton,Rios and Escobar are involved in the deal. QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 27, 2011 -> 05:52 PM) What? What fathom said.

QUOTE (The Ginger Kid @ Jul 27, 2011 -> 05:30 PM) I'm a big CQ fan but Dom Brown? wow...wow wow wow. That would be beyond pillaging. That would straight up Alex Anthopoulos-esque.

Kenny needs to pillage the Braves or Phillies systems for Q.

Confused.

QUOTE (chw42 @ Jul 27, 2011 -> 04:11 PM) We have a positive run differential?!?!?! The f***!?!?!?!?!

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jul 27, 2011 -> 04:03 PM) You can't count next year's cost savings there. Basically, cutting Rios would require this team pull back in Payroll to $90 million next year. I'm counting any years Rios is signed. Also, he is hence forth known as AlbatRios again.

f*** Rios.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Jul 27, 2011 -> 04:03 PM) Dude, there's no f***ing way. He's harder to deal than Alfonso Soriano. Obama will help us. It's the main sticking point of the debt ceiling.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jul 27, 2011 -> 04:00 PM) Q + Danks + Thornton = what, $14 million? Rios DFA = $42 million? Q and Danks will each be around $8M next year, Thornton is signed for what the next two years? $12M? Then throw in the $10M in savings today. $16M + $12M + $10M = $28M. So, you're still eating $14M, but today showed, No Rios = Good.

QUOTE (Baron @ Jul 27, 2011 -> 03:56 PM) Seems like without the black hole at CF everyone is a little more energized out there If KW dumps Q/Danks/Thornton for cost controlled talent, Rios will be DFA'd.

QUOTE (SoxFan1 @ Jul 27, 2011 -> 03:55 PM) What's the scoop on Stewart? Was he one of their top prospects? #3 coming into this year, #44 overall in baseball.

Yeah, the Cards are getting E-Jax, a young, very good, lefty reliever, a good righty reliever, a serviceable CF, but also 3 PTBNL/ cash. No longer mad at KW.

Q will get a nice haul.

QUOTE (Leonard Zelig @ Jul 27, 2011 -> 03:48 PM) St. Louis is also receiving 3 PTBNL or future cash considerations. Yeah...we couldn't have gotten Rasmus when that's the case.

I love our infield D.

This thread is awesome. I tip my cap to you milkman.

This video comes to mind when I think of Ozzie.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Jul 27, 2011 -> 02:02 PM) Best pitcher since Pud Galvin. Weren't you on a break Steve?

Oh god, here comes the Hawk loving Zach Stewart fest.

QUOTE (docsox24 @ Jul 27, 2011 -> 01:53 PM) please no, milledge is awful, he gives less effort than rios And has torn up AAA this season. Yeah, I know, AAA. But he hasn't been a problem attitude wise when with the Sox this year.

Now that Rasmus is out of the cards, I go back to my original stance of next years OF being Milledge - De Aza - Viciedo

ALEJANDRO IN THE HOUSE b****ES.

Ok, Stewart seem's like a nice get. He's there #3 prospect in a good farm system, so no qualms there. The fact that it's taking E-Jax and relievers to get Colby...I don't like. AA is a masterful GM.
