Lol alexei lets the suspense continue

QUOTE (Jake @ Jul 27, 2013 -> 07:07 AM) We do have some of the best food in MLB... I read a week ago that they were looking for young, cost controlled pitching, Quintana maybe?

QUOTE (Chicago White Sox @ Jul 26, 2013 -> 05:44 PM) I'm sorry but you don't move Peavy & Ramirez for a 1B and two relievers. Hell, I wouldn't take that package for just Peavy. You have to get a second legit prospect, especially if you're giving up Alexei as well. Give me Adams + Wong + The relievers and we can talk

What do they have that we would take for Peavy?

QUOTE (Dunt @ Jul 25, 2013 -> 05:59 PM) Heard that as well, was not psyched after hearing that Law was a scout though, rosenthal is just a reporter. Is law's opinion that peavy is worth more, and gms are going to be listening to people like law, not rosenthal.

QUOTE (scs787 @ Jul 25, 2013 -> 05:22 PM) If that's the case I'd love to have him. I said yesterday that I don't want him as a 3B due to what looks like a lack of power but at SS his power could actually be a plus. Just recognized his speed yesterday, he'd be a great leadoff hitter. I assume with the speed to steal 51 bags he's got the speed to cover short. He'd look great in the 3 hole behind Eaton and Beckham cough cough please happen

QUOTE (beautox @ Jul 25, 2013 -> 03:47 PM) I'm really hoping Peavy goes to Boston and garin cecchini comes back our way, people are comparing him to a Bill Mueller type. Garin is about a year to a year and a half away and would give us time to figure out what we have in gillaspie. I've read about garin moving to SS or 2nd too

Reed definitely snapping at the ump after that one lol.

I dunno if it's just me but it seems like the past week Dayan has had tremendously better at bats - not just that he is getting more hits, but he is seeing way more pitches and not swinging at everything they throw. He's even taken a few walks I think

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 25, 2013 -> 01:21 PM) I assume we'll see him mid-August I hope so. I literally cannot watch a game that Dylan Axelrod pitches. Something about his face just makes me want to punch him, I don't know what it is.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jul 25, 2013 -> 01:19 PM) I don't know about you all, but I can't wait for more Dylan Axelrod! Erik Johnson please. PLEASE

Justin Verlander is clearly hurt if Flowers just homered off of him

Lol it's not like every inning Peavy is establishing more or less value, as a whole this start is showing that he is still Peavy. Competitive, 89-92 fastball, great control. Peavy is just being Peavy right now and I think that's what the scouts are going to tell their general managers.

I want to find a way to blame Tyler Flowers for that home run

Tons of movement, 89-92 all day and pinpoint control

QUOTE (SoxPride18 @ Jul 25, 2013 -> 10:54 AM) I thought Peavy was getting squeezed. Peavy put palms up asking where one was This ump seems to be pinching inside and expanding outside

Peavy looks strong today

QUOTE (Lillian @ Jul 25, 2013 -> 10:03 AM) If Peavy is traded, who exactly is our RH starting pitcher going to be next season? Are they really going to let Erik Johnson or D. Axelrod be their only RH starter? I'm just asking. My guess is that they don't get good enough offers to justify trading Rios, Peavy or anyone else who could still be on the team next year. And instead, they try to put together a middle of the order, and compete. I don't think it really matters what hand a pitcher throws with, as long as he is good.

QUOTE (Dunt @ Jul 24, 2013 -> 08:13 PM) In AAA this year, here is how they compare: Davidson 23 .295/.366/.512/.878 Middlebrooks 24 .263/.315/.458//773 Any questions? Middlebrooks has had success in the majors and in his last full minor league season hit .285/.325/.506 w/ 23 homers and scouting reports suggest plus defense at 3rd

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 24, 2013 -> 07:41 PM) Gillaspie OPS under .350 vs LHP Yeesh

QUOTE (Jake @ Jul 24, 2013 -> 07:34 PM) Between that and the offers to play football, you might as well buy your Middlebrooks unis This guy played football too? Cya jake

QUOTE (Jake @ Jul 24, 2013 -> 07:31 PM) Some selections from BA's 2012 season preview of Middlebrooks: Also hit very well in AFL Under the radar like a motherf***er, I see you KW

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 24, 2013 -> 06:45 PM) He's basically the anti-Cecchini He plays good defense and hits for good avg and power iirc? Or was he all red sox hype?

QUOTE (DirtySox @ Jul 23, 2013 -> 09:24 PM) Maybe I should post this here too since the Cards guy posts in this thread. Um. Really hope this isn't accurate. Martinez would be incredible for Alexei. Hell, Sickels has him as 9th best prospect in baseball on his newly released top 75. http://www.chicagotribune.com/sports/baseb...0,3745533.story Seeing this twice made me go from anger and disbelief to shame and depression
