Wouldn't it be great if he started that make up game at Wrigley after all that hype about them getting him?

Wow what a steal

great job kenny!

weird that this is basically the same trade as before

:headbang

wtf...under the radar. This is great news! Even if it doesn't help this year we are looking good in 2010 and 2011.

BUT HOW LONG IS HE OUT FOR?!

 

He is making good progress, so instead of missing the year, there are reports he will be ready to start around Sep 1

I think we easily have the best rotation in the AL.

For a long time.

Peavy though 2013, Burls through 2011, Danks & Floyd through 2013.

56m through 2012, 74m through 2013.

 

Sexy.

This is an overpay simply because it appears this package is better for the Pads than the original package. The first one was Richard, Poreda and Broadway. Carter and Russell easily have more value than Broadway.

 

 

Peavy is out for at least 5 weeks. KW overpaid.

Bingo. This could be like when the Sox aquired Garcia in 2004. They didn't win the division... but it sure as shnitzzle helped in 2005!

I think I heard something about the end of August.

Hahahha. That's smart, trade for Peavy for a potential late season push when he wouldn't even be around for 5-6 starts.

 

I hope this is a case of Peavy being a little b**** and taking his time on the DL rather than a legitimate injury.

KW overpaid.

I disagree. You're thinking short term and this year's playoff implications. This helps us be a force for the next few years.

The first package included Daniel Hudson and another pitcher as well.

 

KW underpaid for an Ace through 2013. Poreda is looking more and more like a closer and Hudson >>> Carter.

Only if he throws a perfect game against them. That is the standard that has been set.

 

Personally, I think this deal hinges on Dex.

Wow what a steal

It's not that weird, it's not like the Padres rejected that deal, they accepted and then Peavy cockblocked it. I thought it was a steal then and still think it is.

 

Richard stepped up big for us, but honestly I don't think you can count on him (I wouldn't doubt it if SD saw all the praise on ESPN Sun night and all that and called the Sox back up)

Hudson was in the original package. Russell is in instead of Broadway.

 

Hudson>Carter

Broadway>Russell.

Awesome, but I would totally be in favor of waiting until next season if it benefited his health. I'm a little surprised we didn't have to give up more than this.

So, I got the team right that was calling us, but not the players involved. Minor mistake.

Oh, I didn't realize it was Hudson. Nevermind. Assuming the 5th starter isn't a complete blackhole for the time being, it's a good trade.

As long as it wasn't Hudson. This rocks!!!

BTW, if anyone heard the Afternoon Saloon, I was on breaking down Dexter Carter. FutureSox.com got 3 drops in.

 

Very nice work!

So.....

I wonder if THIS give any incentive for BurlyMon to stick around a couple more years after his contract expires...

What happened to all the posters ripping Peavy calling him a "b***h" and "p***y" for not wanting to come to the AL earlier in the season? Change of thought because he approved this one?

The only way this would be an overpay is if it were a rental. He's signed through 2012 (2013 option).

Hudson >>> Carter.

 

Well that's debatable, though this year you are 100% correct. I still think Carter has the better upside, though with Huddy's increase in velocity and his secondary pitches getting better, upside might not win. I basically see it as Poreda, Richard and Carter. I am shocked that Adam Russell has value still.. but he does throw hard.

Wow. It's been a long time since I was this excited about a trade.
