Quin

Had no idea we brought up Leury.

QUOTE (Bigsoxhurt35 @ Jul 23, 2015 -> 07:23 PM) There's just no way they think we're going to start getting hot with the bats. We're playing f***ing Cleveland. Sell. Sell. Sell. They trick us all and become a historically great offense and we win the World Series behind Chris Sale's consecutive 10 perfect games.

lol

QUOTE (PlaySumFnJurny @ Jul 23, 2015 -> 10:26 AM) According to this, Cubs offered Phil. Baez and Castro for Hamels: http://fantasynews.cbssports.com/fantasyba...le-hamels-talks Overpaid SS + right handed Dunn with no walks? SIGN ME UP!

The beacons are lit!

*fingers crossed for Pentecost and Hoffman package*

Flowers did what? Ahahahahaha

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Jul 22, 2015 -> 05:17 PM) I would trade Shark, Montas and Avisail for Puig. I don't think they want Avi but I'd do it. I don't really care, get me Puig. I'd do it.

If the Dodgers were willing to do Shark+ for Puig, what would you guys offer?

QUOTE (greg775 @ Jul 22, 2015 -> 03:45 PM) Lexi is so bad and Saladino so hot it's a no brainer. Trade Lexi now for whatever you can get for him and insert Tyler at ss. Isn't Anderson coming soon? Tyler can hold the fort til then. Anderson is at least a year away. Let him at least get to AAA.

If the Sox can get an MLB ready or closer hitting prospect for Jeff, I'd think long and hard about signing him in the offseason if the contract isn't obscene. If the Sox returned next year with Sale-Q-Rodon-Jeff as their front four, then they have to start selling on some of EJ-Fulmer-Danish-Adams-Montas for hitting.

QUOTE (raBBit @ Jul 22, 2015 -> 03:30 PM) I was made fun of for how many times I said I wanted Grandal. Ugh. Wasn't made fun of, but the two catchers I wanted to acquire most in the past year were Grandal and Jakson Reetz.

Written by our own Brian Bilek - What should the Sox try to get for Shark? http://www.chicagonow.com/soxnet/2015/07/s...eff-samardzija/

QUOTE (oldsox @ Jul 22, 2015 -> 07:23 AM) All of this Arenado talk is silly. Not going anywhere. Still an interesting set of circumstances. This is an example of perhaps bringing him up too early in his rookie year (2013). Regardless, he is up for arbitration next year and his agent is Scott (Let me turn you over) Boras. He is going to get a major contract out of the Rockies and the Rox will not trade Tulo. I really think they want to trade Cargo for pitching. Plus they have other cost controlled options in the outfield. Cargo will be available, I am sort of certain. My post was entirely facetious. I'd like to keep Sale and Q on the staff long term.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Jul 20, 2015 -> 09:02 PM) Why would the Rockies trade their best player, nearly a superstar at a premium position...for Jose Quintana? How would that improve their future prospects? It would also require sending Montas or Anderson along and probably even a lesser prospect. 1. Quintana + Anderson + Davidson for Arenado 2. Sale + Avi + Montas for Pederson, Puig, Urias and Seager 3. Shark for Pentecost and Hoffman. 4. Watch fans be flabbergasted at the whirlwind of moves.

Saladino is so refreshing to watch.

I

Just turned on the game. What the hell happened?!

QUOTE (jdupps @ Jul 21, 2015 -> 05:02 PM) They probably wouldn't but a Kershaw, Greinke, Sale trio in any playoff series would be awfully tough for anyone to beat. That trio basically guarantees a ring. And that's the only package I take for Sale. Other than absolutely fleecing thr Cubs.

Pity our pitching. Pity them.

http://www.chicagonow.com/soxnet/2015/07/l...accountability/ In the first "Lip Service" column, Mark looks at loyalty without accountability in the org.

Current bullpen: Robertson Duke Putnam Petricka Webb Albers Jennings with Jones coming back. Who gets moved? I have a feeling Petricka or Putnam could each bring back an interesting prospect. Or does Hahn hold the bullpen together for a run next year?

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 20, 2015 -> 06:30 PM) Isn't this just following the same path Johnson's always taken? Go to one level and do solid, not great. Repeat the level and dominate. Offensively, he has little left to prove in AAA. Granted, Sanchez always seemed to suck when moving up a level and then becoming very good.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Jul 20, 2015 -> 02:49 PM) Great post. I think all your suggestions are good ones. As far as Robin, he's very calm, boring which the team "needed" after Ozzie. The old cliche is you have a fiery nutjob like Ozzie, then you go with the boring calm guy. Our next manager will probably be a Sabes guy, just have a feeling. Probably an up and coming Madden type if there are any. Personally I'd bring back Ozzie with a GREAT bench coach in case Ozzie implodes again. Have all sorts of stipulations in the contract that Ozzie must muzzle himself or get fired/fined. Any controversial statements about Castro, etc., a $50,000 fine each time. Jerry decides on whether the statement is fine-worthy. You don't say?
