QUOTE (iamshack @ Jul 26, 2011 -> 10:55 PM) I doubt "my boy" would talk about how the White Sox players are proving so popular on the marketplace and then go trade his main chip for Jason Frasor and a prospect yet to be named, on a Tuesday night. If it's really salary they need to dump, they can do it relatively easily. Unless they were getting an absolute can't miss prospect in the deal, it sure does seem like a head-scratcher to do this deal now rather than make the parties bid the market up higher as the deadline grows nearer. Only way you make this deal now is if the spect is an absolute stud. And given that we haven't heard his name yet, I highly doubt that. QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Jul 26, 2011 -> 10:55 PM) Neither team really gains anything. This trade makes 0 sense. These.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 26, 2011 -> 10:51 PM) That rumor was false QUOTE (Baron @ Jul 26, 2011 -> 10:51 PM) Yes because Jackson really garners a really good prospect and those Rasmus rumors werent full of poo at all. Even then, the Yankees could pay a nice price for E-Jax. I'm not gonna dismiss it, anything could happen, but I'm wary to believe it because in this market Jackson should command a nice prospect.

Um... Not buying this, unless it's a really good prospect. Not when Jackson would be a piece for Rasmus.

Not pinch hitting there was a fireable offense. I don't care if its Morel, Lilli, Vizquel, Flowers. Literally anyone was better.

Ozzie.

Paulie will have a statue one day, Buehrle too. Dye...no.

Alexei is a badass with the glove.

Let Paulie manage the team.

Ok, so who do we want to replace Ozzie? It's gonna be a former player, so I'm guessing Fisk. Frank will be hitting coach, Ventura the bench coach. Coop and Baines will stay. A wolverine high on angel dust would work as 3B coach.

"I'm da mothaf***in' manayer. I make da the lineups, you don' like 'em, you no like Ozzie. I know my payers better than any mothaf***a's. Stats not whole gayme."

Ozzie is stuck in la-la-land where every pitcher is the '05 staff and can go 7 innings of 1 run baseball and that we have the '05 offense which could produce runs, but Ozzie forgets could also hit homers.

Ok, seriously though, fire Ozzie. I wanna see what a real manager can do.

QUOTE (Quinarvy @ Jul 26, 2011 -> 08:45 PM) f*** Ozzie. Fixed.

Thanks Ozzie.

Here's roster moves and corresponding ones I could see: De Aza for Rios/Pierre. Viciedo for Quentin. Escobar for Vizquel. Milledge for Teahen. Reed/Infante for E-Jax/Thornton. With De Aza coming up, I'm thinking Rios or Pierre are gone.

Paulie is a badass.

QUOTE (Wanne @ Jul 26, 2011 -> 01:05 AM) How could Santos not be untouchable?!? btw...whatever kenny needs to do to dump Rios...I'm sure he's exploring it. I forgot Sergio. He is. Buehrle, Paulie, Alexei, Beckham, Sale, Viciedo, Santos.

QUOTE (Wanne @ Jul 26, 2011 -> 01:02 AM) Ask next week... btw...I thought the Chinese bombed Pearl Harbor?!? No, the Italians bombed Fort Sumter.

I'm in because, well, the f***? If they start winning do I go "Oh golly gee! I was out! I'll be in next year for sure and won't enjoy their success."

I'm not adverse to Kenny's on the fly rebuilding. He did it in '04 and in '07, albeit in the offseason, but both those we're good rebuilds.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Jul 26, 2011 -> 12:04 AM) Good. My only untouchables would be Sale, Quentin, Paulie, Lexi, Mark, Danks and Floyd. Anybody else, including Beckham can be dealt IMO, although I'm not crazy about giving up on Beckham. I also wouldn't want to see Sergio leave. My only untouchables are Mark, Paulie, Viciedo, Sale, Alexei and Beckham. Quentin we'll have for one more year before he gets stupid expensive. Floyd could get a nice package in return. Danks could get a kings ransom.

QUOTE (The Ginger Kid @ Jul 25, 2011 -> 10:18 PM) check it out - Cuddyer pitching in the 8th So that's the All-Star pitcher they were gonna get. QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jul 25, 2011 -> 10:11 PM) That was as bad as you will ever see Miguel look. Sergio's change up to Cabrera last year?

QUOTE (Soxbadger @ Jul 25, 2011 -> 10:13 PM) I seriously vetted this rumor using a variety of sources from the internets. (im really kidding but I never get to make up ridiculous trades) I know, I'm just saying its ridiculous.

QUOTE (Soxbadger @ Jul 25, 2011 -> 10:02 PM) Here is a conspiracy theory (note I dont believe it at all) Sox are really trading MB to Cardinals, they moved back Humber's start so MB could pitch tonight (in front of home crowd) and then could be traded. WOOOooOOO Also, no.

f*** Detroit.
