Chris Cotillo ‏@ChrisCotillo 7m The #STLCards are reportedly casting a wide net in their search for starters. Story: http://sbnation.com/e/5693916 Could be a Danks option

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Jul 23, 2014 -> 09:52 AM) The best you are going to get for Gordon Beckham is a guy like Jeff Soptic or Cleuluis Rondon, someone who is talented but is absolutely as raw as raw can be. More likely you end up with a AAA reliever who puts up good numbers in the minors but has 1 1/2 pitches and can barely break 92 MPH or you outright DFA him. Speaking of Soptic, here are his numbers..... http://www.milb.com/milb/stats/stats.jsp?s...&pid=573168 Yikes, great trade Rick Hahn

Let's take the series boys!

2 hits and an ER so far. has 1 k

Michael Suiter on AZL has been hitting real well too.

QUOTE (Chilihead90 @ Jul 22, 2014 -> 09:45 PM) Here is a more recent version of that sweet Wilkins swing. http://www.milb.com/multimedia/vpp.jsp?con...35&sid=milb Dude absolutely clears his hips on that one. That is pretty. i hope he gets called up.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Jul 22, 2014 -> 09:56 PM) How old is Wilkins? Is he a real prospect? 25 going to turn 26 soon.

QUOTE (flavum @ Jul 22, 2014 -> 09:55 PM) Hawk should use his Ipad to look up minor league games. He'd know Wilkins hit two more tonight. I was thinking the same thing lol.

Erik Johnson with a solid start tonight. 6IP 5H 2ER 2BB 4K

Nieto sure is struggling catching Carroll tonight. I don't know if its the movement or haven't been familiar with each other but he has dropped at least 4 balls already.

Wilkins is just straight killing the ball. Side not, I wonder if Recchia might get a call in September, almost striking out 1 an inning this year with few walks.

QUOTE (Feeky Magee @ Jul 22, 2014 -> 06:26 PM) Scott Merkin ‏@scottmerkin 11m Major League source confirms to mlb.com four contenders on Danks' six no-trade: A's, Orioles, Nationals and Blue Jays. Trade him to the Yankees.

QUOTE (IowaSoxFan @ Jul 22, 2014 -> 02:07 PM) It depends what happens with the two Cubans, the Sox are said to have interest in Rusney Castillo, which would push Eaton to a corner, but there is also Yasmani Tomas, a 23 year old corner outfielder with 70 power. Sign them both

Buster Olney ‏@Buster_ESPN 15m The Giants have been investigating the starting pitching trade market, considering their options. Giants could be another team interested in Danks. He would fit well in that ball park.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jul 22, 2014 -> 03:02 PM) Nathaniel Stoltz ‏@stoltz_baseball 3m Tim Anderson is taking infield today, still has his wrist protected. That's encouraging.

They have some good catching prospects and some decent pitching prospects, so yes.

QUOTE (IowaSoxFan @ Jul 22, 2014 -> 01:30 PM) I personally think of change of scenery deal with Domonic Brown makes a lot of sense. Sox are going to need some LH power after Dunn leaves in the off-season. Brown is a year older and both are due for FA in 2018. That's interesting idea but Brown is a worse defender than Viciedo I believe.

QUOTE (raBBit @ Jul 22, 2014 -> 12:59 PM) I feel like Jonny Gomes would make Tank redundant in Boston. Yeah, I still think the Mariners would be the best fit for Viciedo.

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Jul 22, 2014 -> 12:33 PM) Headley's stock has plummeted. We were all desperate for him at one point. Yeah I was never a fan of him from the beginning. Gillaspie >>>> Headley.

So essentially the Yankees got a MLB ready player (although 27 years old) and their 15th rated prospect as rated by MLB.com. DePaula has had a decent year. Low 4 ERA but strikes out more than 1 inning. I think we could get more than that for Danks.

QUOTE (Andy the Clown @ Jul 22, 2014 -> 12:09 PM) He's a number 5 starter at best making a #2 salary, and his "recovered" shoulder can barely break 88. Dump, dump, dump, dump. He actually hit 91-92 last outing.

Yankees get Chase Headley for Solarte and Depaula

Chris Cotillo ‏@ChrisCotillo 8m The two #WhiteSox drawing the most interest: John Danks and Dayan Viciedo, according to sources.
