May 21, 200916 yr QUOTE (BigSqwert @ May 21, 2009 -> 08:46 AM) If this happens today I will rub one out at my cubicle. truly a BigSqwert
May 21, 200916 yr QUOTE (RibbieRubarb @ May 21, 2009 -> 08:48 AM) Oh, you were probably planning on doing that anyway... Yeah that's about right.
May 21, 200916 yr QUOTE (Thunderbolt @ May 21, 2009 -> 08:49 AM) I actually think that's fair. Giles is just now starting to hit, and his numbers will experience some severe inflation in the Cell. Best case scenario for Poreda and Richard's combined numbers could be Peavy, and Getz remains something of an enigma. AND Dye? That would be redonkulous.
May 21, 200916 yr The update from WSCR is that the only pitcher on the 25 man roster in this deal is Clayton Richard. Also Aaron Poreda is in the deal, the other two are not known for sure and they didn't speculate. No more mention of Giles/Dye like there was in the first hour. This is coming from Joe Cowley FWIW.
May 21, 200916 yr QUOTE (Maverick0984 @ May 21, 2009 -> 09:51 AM) AND Dye? That would be redonkulous. Perhaps, but his contract is massive, and we could probably move Giles come deadline.
May 21, 200916 yr I've always liked Brian Giles since he was with the Pirates. I wouldn't mind seeing him in a Sox uniform.

May 21, 200916 yr QUOTE (BigSqwert @ May 21, 2009 -> 08:54 AM) I think Lillibridge has better numbers this year. True, but at least Giles doesn't look like a 12-year old.
May 21, 200916 yr QUOTE (Thunderbolt @ May 21, 2009 -> 08:45 AM) I'd have reservations with trading Beckham, Slayer, Allen, Flowers, Danks and Viciedo. And i'd really miss Poreda but we're talking Jake Peavy, here. This isn't SeaWorld, guys. This is as real as it gets. Nobody else catch this?
May 21, 200916 yr QUOTE (hogan873 @ May 21, 2009 -> 08:56 AM) True, but at least Giles doesn't look like a 12-year old. Yeah that should translate to 10 more wins.

The name Poreda, Richard, Getz and Flowers have been floated around. I dont see Danks or Beckham being a PTBL in a deal like this for how much Peavy would cost us.
May 21, 200916 yr QUOTE (JoeCredeYes @ May 21, 2009 -> 09:56 AM) Nobody else catch this? Clearly, i'm trying to express how much i love Beckham. No way was this a mistake.

May 21, 200916 yr Dude, there's no way this happens. He's already declined trades to the Yankees and Angels, why on Earth would he want to come here?
May 21, 200916 yr QUOTE (Steve9347 @ May 21, 2009 -> 08:59 AM) Levine on ESPN right now. Confirms nothing new. Levine must be upset about this
May 21, 200916 yr QUOTE (RockRaines @ May 21, 2009 -> 09:58 AM) The name Poreda, Richard, Getz and Flowers have been floated around. I dont see Danks or Beckham being a PTBL in a deal like this for how much Peavy would cost us. I have a hard time believing Flowers would be traded too. We have absolutely no other catching prospects and AJ is getting up there in age. The guy i'm most worried about being included is Brandon Allen

I think he has to be at least thinking about it. If he was 100% against coming to the Sox, I'd assume trade talks would never get this far...He had to at least tell the Padres "maybe"
May 21, 200916 yr SI is reporting the Sox want an answer from Peavy today, as he is scheduled to pitch tomorrow.
