Hampton knows nothing about baseball on the SCORE. I should have expected this from a football guy, but he just said, Peavy didn't look good when he saw him pitch and thinks Peavy isn't that good. Has he looked at this guy's stats? And he's ONLY 27!!!

Poreda and Richard is what I just heard

They are only half of the deal. There are two players to be named later, apparently.

Kalapse was on to this immediately, he gets the credit here(besides KONA).

 

 

 

 

He completely doubted the validity of it as soon as he saw it, but he had the link up to us in chat when the MLB.com rumor was a page and a half

 

Pft, I linked Kalapse with the pure spectulation/

consider the source.

Yep, the whole PTBNL scares me. If you think about it, the Padres desperately need a middle infielder. I wouldn't lose a second of sleep if it's JorDanks in the trade, and really wouldn't mind selling high on Flowers.

Maybe Getz? But if he was part of it, he probably wouldn't be listed as a PTBNL.

 

Who are some MI prospects we have besides Beckham? Does Retherford count? What about Kuhn? He seems like a very Getz like player from what I've read.

On the Ozzie thing, I have to say that overall, I think Ozzie treats his pitchers pretty well. Its the position players he is harder on. I was worried when the hired Ozzie about his pitcher handling, but in general, I think he's adjusted to that fairly well (probably with a lot of help from Cooper).

Right, Im hoping someone like Getz or Nix could fill that void for them. If they include Alexei, I am hoping the Pad's assume some of Jake's salary. Right now Poreda and Richard is better than any package they are going to be offered mid season anyway, just add some lower level fodder and lets do this.

Can we get a Gammons recap please? He is one of the few guys I trust/care what they say.

consider the source.

Maybe they can ask Carl Lewis his opinion as well.

ESPN reporting Peavy called Linebrink to ask him what it's like in Chicago, Peavy said he received strong feedback.

Maybe Jerry Owens is in the deal?

Escobar, Morel, Gilmore....

 

Edit: Actually, I remember reading about Gilmore after the Vazquez trade and he reminded me a lot of Vitters.

Wow, its as if it just became like 4 hours ago.

CJ is a good player and has been playing well.

 

Appartently Peavy called Linebrink last night and received nothing but good feedback from him about our team.

They have little, almost zero trade value, unfortunately. Much more valuable to the Sox than other teams. Teams don't usually trade for prospects with underwhelming tools.

That's the most encouraging piece of information we've had in a while.

I am just refreshing Heyman's twitter page like crazy, he's pretty reliable on the Peavy stuff.

That's very good news - that he would call at all is a good sign, but Linebrink saying good things also helps. If this is true.

 

Hopefully he gets good reviews from Gooch, Mack and/or others as well.

 

Maybe Jerry Owens is in the deal?

Only if Seattle is involved.

That's good to hear. Linebrink is very conservative, and if he can stand Ozzie, then Peavy should be able to also. I think it's funny that Peavy would have even considered Ozzie to be difficult to play with, as he's nothing but great with veterans.

CJ is a good player and has been playing well.

I used to think Linebrink was overpaid a bit....but he's earning his salary today!

Wow. I never thought he'd go to Chicago.

This would be KW's finest trade ever. Even if Peavy blew out his elbow his first White Sox start. Pitching wins.

Escobar, Morel, Gilmore....

I'd be more than OK about Escobar or Gilmore, neither of which I see living up to their hype (with my admitedly limited data to work from).
