Real

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?

you kill alexei's value by moving him to 3B, because you lose all that range also im not sold on his first movement ability at 3B

Kevin Goldstein from BP is on the score right now, he says Sox need to make Stewart a reliever... says his stuff is very mediocre other than a sinking fastball

QUOTE (oldsox @ Jul 27, 2011 -> 12:02 PM) Does that include you?? More than half of my friends are cardinals fans.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 27, 2011 -> 11:59 AM) Give me a break, 90% of us know who Rasmus is. Wrong

one person mentions colby rasmus and all of the sudden the entire board, most which had little to no idea who Rasmus even WAS goes apes***, lol group think mob mentality here at Soxtalk

QUOTE (whitesoxfan101 @ Jul 27, 2011 -> 11:18 AM) Kenny said this trade saves us about 9.5 million. Frasor doesnt pitch for free

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Jul 27, 2011 -> 10:31 AM) It's been confirmed by multiple outlets that the Cardinals offered Rasmus to the Sox for Jackson, Thornton, and a spect. Now things have changed and Kenny's being forced to find a way to include Teabag, which is going to cost us Rasmus and anything legit in this deal. LOL, SMH

QUOTE (Baron @ Jul 27, 2011 -> 10:28 AM) Jays were a better fit for Rasmus. They have prospects the Cards want. We do not. Its rather simple agreed, some of the posts in this thread....SMH

guys lol, its obvious we didnt have the pieces for Rasmus and the blue jays are most likely tossing in a top prospect with ejax for him

I can see Omar or Elf not being on the team soon...

DeAza move yesterday is because of Teahen's roster spot opening up, and most likely DeAza goes back down when Viciedo's thumb is healed

edwin jackson is as much of a joke as there is, even the team we're sending him to doesnt want him, they want his draft compensation

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Jul 27, 2011 -> 09:37 AM) OK, taking bets... which is KW doing here? White flagging, or wheeling part of another deal to be all-in? Either way, more trades be comin'. Danks and Floyd both on the table, this is as much of a firesale as we're gonna see, if Danks is dealt i'd imagine it would be to somebody like Boston or NYY, somebody who can absorb Rios' contract

QUOTE (greg775 @ Jul 27, 2011 -> 01:44 AM) Is Frasor any good or is he just another hack? he's a 34 year old righty, 1.25 whip this year in 37IP

QUOTE (greg775 @ Jul 27, 2011 -> 01:37 AM) Is this reliever we are getting any good? At least we don't have to see Teahen any more. http://mlb.mlb.com/team/player.jsp?player_id=430630

something tells me Pierre is gone tomorrow

QUOTE (SoxFan1 @ Jul 27, 2011 -> 12:28 AM) I don't remember how the 1st Peavy deal unfolded. some guy on mlb.com forums reported the first fall through deal at like 4am the day of the attempted trade

QUOTE (iamshack @ Jul 26, 2011 -> 10:29 PM) He'd be a perfect long reliever right now. funny because we actually need one right now

cant really be that upset over this loss, we were at a disadvantage from the beginning with Javier Peavy on the mound, and a mgr who has no clue how to get a bullpen ready whe he's on the mound 2 homers, not much else rios blows, but valverde is good, b****ing about rios making an out there is laughable

cya matt!

lol yeah we're f***ed

QUOTE (bucket-of-suck @ Jul 26, 2011 -> 08:39 PM) And Ozzie will run JFP back out there to face the heart of the order that is looking fastball. No chance Jake gets outta the 6th with lead. OK. Horse beaten. Point made. was just gonna post this, tigers take lead this inning here it goes, bunt single

hmmm, what about BJ upton coming here? heard rays are dealing

Really? read cards boards, they all would prefer rasmus in CF over jay, but his issues are costing him playing time
