QUOTE (Knackattack @ Jul 24, 2013 -> 10:16 PM) 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 He started out hot in May last year then saw his OPS dip in each of the following months

QUOTE (DirtySox @ Jul 24, 2013 -> 10:16 PM) Actually. They are/were kind of similar prospects when you look at the minor league numbers. Both slugging 3B with strikeout issues. I do like the possibility of Owings being in a package too though. If I could have any 3B being talked about in this thread though, I'd go with Option C: Cecchini. Cecchini would be my choice as well, but I dont know that the Red Sox will end up trading him. I in no way want Middlebrooks.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 24, 2013 -> 10:07 PM) Explain please In AAA this year, here is how they compare: Davidson 23 .295/.366/.512/.878 Middlebrooks 24 .263/.315/.458//773 Any questions?

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 24, 2013 -> 10:05 PM) You consider Davidson better than Middlebrooks? Yes.

Man, the MLBTR comment section is really going full retard tonight

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Jul 24, 2013 -> 07:33 PM) Danny Knobbler tweeted scouts say Rios is playing with zero energy. Damn, so he is hitting .421/.450/.684/1.134 since the AS break and he hasn't even been trying?!

QUOTE (SoxPride18 @ Jul 24, 2013 -> 12:31 PM) White Sox scouts at Portland Sea Dogs game. Ranaudo on the mound and Cecchini is DHing. God I hope Cecchini happens

8:04am: Jon Heyman of CBS Sports tweets that the White Sox did not turn down Martinez for Ramirez, though he wouldn't be surprised if the Cardinals are indeed interested in Chicago's shortstop.

QUOTE (DirtySox @ Jul 23, 2013 -> 11:21 PM) 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 Dear god I hope that's not true

God I'd love if the Sox could somehow work out a deal for Adams and Wong

QUOTE (mike65 @ Jul 23, 2013 -> 03:12 PM) I think it would get a deal done but I don't think Mozeliak will surender any of Miller, Wacha, or Martinez. I know that is not what White Sox fans want to hear but that is what I beleive. I think Wong could be the headliner. I do think Tyler Lyons could also be part of it. He is a very nice starter. I could see one of Piscotty or Ramsay being included and, finally, someone like Sam Freeman. There is also Ryan Jackson or Greg Garcia if the White Sox are so inclined. I really don't know how to play GM! I do think the Cardinals would take all of next year's salary and most of the remaing this year. I dont think the Sox make a deal that is headlined by Wong unfortunately, especially with the way Beckham has played this year. That could obviously go out the window though if they somehow get a deal lined up with the Pirates for Rios and Alexei.

I hope Peavy gets moved before his start thursday against the Tigers, I can't see that game helping his stock any

I think Peavy gets traded and nabs 1-2 top 100 players, Lindstrom goes for nothing, and Crain goes for a B level pitcher.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jul 23, 2013 -> 08:12 AM) Last time I said this it was pointed out to me that, despite last night's game, Snodgress had pretty mediocre numbers on the year. I think Rienzo is much more likely to make an impact next year than Snodgress

QUOTE (BigHurt3515 @ Jul 22, 2013 -> 11:17 PM) Apparently the A's made a late push for Garza. Maybe they would be interested in Peavy. Any interesting prospects they have? Addison Russell and that's about it

QUOTE (flavum @ Jul 22, 2013 -> 09:57 PM) Sammy Ayala? Lulz

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 22, 2013 -> 09:40 PM) If the Sox are trading Peavy for a package of Cardinals players, I'm hoping for a lot more than Wong in the trade. Wong is a solid player but has a pretty low ceiling. Agreed, I would want Wong and Martinez because Wong wouldnt be near enough

QUOTE (mike65 @ Jul 22, 2013 -> 09:19 PM) I feel illiterate but what is PT? Phantasytour, someone on one of the boards has that same username and is a Sox and Cardinals fan

QUOTE (Baron @ Jul 22, 2013 -> 09:13 PM) Chuck Garfien ‏@ChuckGarfien 7m Addison Reed on the White Sox trading Jake Peavy: "It's probably going to happen." Story on Peavy and Rios on the way soon... Details https://twitter.com/ChuckGarfien Story on the way soon? Im interested

QUOTE (mike65 @ Jul 22, 2013 -> 09:15 PM) I don't know what this means or if it means anything but the Cardinals promoted a 2B late today to AAA Memphis. His name is Luis Mateo. In addition, Kolten Wong, who is always in the lineup, is not playing tonight. I can asure you that Wong is not coming to STL with the year Carpenter is having. This is just a little strange. Since I am a Cardinals fan hanging on this board, I just thought you folks would appreciate the heads up. Are you on PT?

Snodgress has a no-no still through 7

QUOTE (Eminor3rd @ Jul 22, 2013 -> 04:07 PM) Realistically, if we trade Peavy and the centerpiece ISN'T our new number one prospect, we've probably made a bad deal. Truth

In a perfect world, I would love to see the Sox flip Rios, Alexei, and cash for Polanco and Kingham. I would then like to see Peavy and Crain get traded to LA for Joc Pederson and something else. I think those two will end up being legit studs at the MLB level and would be a great foundation.

QUOTE (Eminor3rd @ Jul 19, 2013 -> 09:45 AM) I agree and have been saying this for weeks. I'm bracing myself to be disappointed by the return, though. Polanco I think is untouchable in this type of deal, and Heredia scares me based on what I've heard BP guys report over the past year or so. That being said, I think we'd have to be satisfied if either Hanson or Glasnow is the centerpiece. I think you need Hanson to be the centerpiece if youre giving up two position players.

QUOTE (beck72 @ Jul 19, 2013 -> 08:41 AM) FWIW, Marc Hulet at MLB Trade Rumors has a few tidbits. Saying basically Hanson, Polanco and Glasgow would be off the table. http://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2013/07/pros...trade-bait.html If that's true, I hope the Sox don't move Rios and Ramirez for anything less than Bell, Heredia, and Kingham.
