Buerhle's value is probably at an alltime high right now. I think the Sox should use this as an oppurtunity to get some top prospects in deal for Buerhle. Ya Buerhle has meant a lot for this organization but we cannot forget his inconsitencies since he signed the contract. Maybe deal him off to Stl in a package centred around Rasmus or even Rios + Buerhle for Rasmus. But highly doubt any1 would take Rios, that would mean u take on Rios' contract and Buerhle 15 mill next season. The coming weeks is gonna be huge in determining what the team will actually be doing. If we do manage to stay in the race then K.Williams will either stay pat or add someone for the strech run. If not we get rid of Jackson and/or perhaps Buerhle to add some key peices for the future.

finally Buerhle with a win... MB has been great so far really giving the team a legitimate chance to win every night

They are scouting for Rios ofcourse!

I guess its arite both were brought in as they last pitched July 10th. Gotta get some work in.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Jul 18, 2011 -> 10:32 PM) Lester was always the example in front of Danks, but you'd have to argue that Lester's on a whole different level...certainly the last season or two. LeBron James. Wilt Chamberlain. A-Rod. Lionel Messi. Danica Patrick. Dale Earnhardt Jr. JOKING. Lester signed a pretty good deal for Boston and so did Ricky Romero. Hopefully this doesn't end up a mess for the Sox, I dunno what Danks is shooting for. Both those pitchers are better than Danks, and are getting paid less. Problem is both signed extension early in their careers

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Jul 18, 2011 -> 10:24 PM) Danks is going to get paid big-time, and it won't be anything close to $9-10 million for a long-term deal. Warming up to the idea of the Twins getting swept and being 2 1/2 behind us...one way or the other, we're going to have to beat the Indians and Twins head-to-head down the stretch. Can't see a big pay day for Danks especially after a bad season thus far. Maybe down the road yeah but no way is he getting a 15 million dollar deal after this year's performance, which is why he would probably wait out after next and just a sign a one yr arbritration contract. I can't really think of any other players that have similar cases to Danks to really say wat type of contract can be expected.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Jul 18, 2011 -> 10:06 PM) But that all changes if they can acquire a Beltran or Jose Reyes caliber of player. 7 in a row retired.....13 consecutive starts where Buehrle hasn't given up more than 3 runs (at most). Amazingly consistent at this stage in his career. I'd almost rather go 2 seasons at $14-15 million (with Mark) than Danks for five years at the same money. Those huge, long-term pitching contracts are just so risky. Really? I was hoping a bit less money maybe about 10-12, even Konerko isnt that highly paid. Maybe Buerhle would take somewhat of a discount with us. Danks I doubt would demand that much given how this season has been on him. Hopefully we can lock him up to long term somewhere between 9-11 million per

nice

we'll take that

nice effort by Buerhle, Beckham good job to get to it

plenty of swing and misses off the offspeed stuff

lucky there

7 Ks in 3 innings

QUOTE (greg775 @ Jul 18, 2011 -> 08:51 PM) Dunn should have some confidence against this stiff. How did he strike out his first at bat? Struck out on a changeup full count

PK!

wow Davies is just mowing us down

4 Ks in 2 innings already for Davies

1-0 on sac fly

nice start

Baltimore already out to an early 1-0 lead over the Indians

3.0 behind the Tigers

QUOTE (bucket-of-suck @ Jul 16, 2011 -> 06:27 PM) Nope. The Tigers are just awful and impatient today. really gameday had the DP that Martinez just grounded into at 99 mph

had to join the game late... is Jackson Fastball velocity higher than usual today?

Ohman Era is 3.86

QUOTE (beckham15 @ Jul 15, 2011 -> 10:00 PM) damn wish we could have hit double digits in runs tonight....i can't remember the last time we've had it.....i believe it was vs boston at the end of may if i remember correctly the only clear one that comes to mind was opening day LOL... boy did I think this team was gonna be something special
