My sister-in-laws dad is friends with Brett Anderson's dad and is from the same city as Harrell, so it was a win-win for him.

I really liked seeing him out there tonight. I watched him warm up in the BP and as he finished I yelled "Go get a win for us. Who knows, come back in September?" and he smiled. You could tell it was the night of his life.

Was at the game...Harrell showed up to play. I think Holmberg too was a vast overpay...would have sent a Santeliz or Cassel instead. However, if the reports are true and the Sox are trying to trade for Dunn without Jackson and they get that done without giving up Dayan...it'd be a master move.

God damnit Jake Peavy. And Kenny, our collective hearts can't handle this every year...and I'm going to tonights game.

Only way I see this going down is if Jackson is flipped for Dunn, which I then love this deal as the Nats wanted Hudson + Flowers/Danks/Morel. Then you just flip some other guys for a starter and go to work.

Imagine what we could get for Putz, Thornton, and especially Sergio! A king's ransom. This also ruins any Flowers deal for Dunn.

Brett Wallace is already a journeyman.

QUOTE (BearSox @ Jul 29, 2010 -> 10:58 AM) The Phillies really f***ed up by trading Lee. I thought it was dumb in the first place, and last time I checked, the players they got back haven't been doing much either. It's one of my all time stupid baseball moves, along with the Rays drafting Tim Beckham.

I'd do this if Hudson was used to get a Fielder/Dunn as long as we don't overpay on Lilly because... 1) He'd be a fine 5th starter. He'd be worse in the Cell, but you can do worse as a fifth starter. 2) He's a Type A FA and he won't accept it on this market. With the way team has been drafting in the first round lately, those could be good picks. 3) If he accepts arbitration (I have no thought that he would) you could flip him to some team who would like having him for a full season. 4) Blocks him from the Twins

:headbang :headbang :headbang I love winning

Keith Law is an idiot. Omar Vizquel is possibly the best fielding SS ever.

Want Griset soooo bad...especially if Huddy is traded.

QUOTE (Thunderbolt @ Jul 28, 2010 -> 08:07 PM) Jayson Stark reporting Pods to the Dodgers for two minor leaguers. The weird six degrees of Kevin Bacon thing that's happening between Pods and Pierre continues.http://twitter.com/jaysonst/status/19784826644 This is just weird.

QUOTE (J.Reedfan8 @ Jul 27, 2010 -> 11:16 PM) Bulls in trade talks for Rudy Fernandez. Could be a very good match. Portland is crazy though if they are still asking for the moon. Bulls draft pick(s) "should" be able to get that done. Do want.

QUOTE (J.Reedfan8 @ Jul 27, 2010 -> 04:56 PM) Next up... build a statue for the man, then the hall of fame. In all honesty, his needs to be huge. Like, put a giant statue on the fan deck of him hitting a HR, or right outside next to the Plaza.

I called it in the GT, whenever I go Floyd pitches wonderfully. My brothers friend that works there is head of internship things/ticket sales (I think on the internship thing at least) and he's generally money on what he thinks of players Teahen: Did not like that trade, good clubhouse guy, best suited as super-utility Omar: Calming on Alexei in the clubhouse as well as field Dayan: Real deal. Andruw Jones: Better than Rios sometimes during warmups in CF, just not as fast. Flowers: Eeeeehh

Every time I see Floyd, he pitches a gem.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SW384YzzHKM That is why we need Ichiro. But seriously, it'd take something like Hudson-Flowers-3 Other Good Prospects (not Viciedo since they have Smoak). Perhaps Jeremy Reed?

QUOTE (JoeCoolMan24 @ Jul 27, 2010 -> 01:41 AM) Worst start of Sale's very, very short career so far, and he still managed to strike out the side. 10 K in 4 innings. I thought you meant he started and I was about to say "Stretching him out for #5..."

When we traded for Teahen, I thought it was to be a super-utility and I thought it was a great idea. Still do.
