Rumors were swirling that Thome had been traded... but Ozzie just shot that down.

according to Cowley's twitter.

I love Big Jim, but damn if i wouldn't like to see what we could of gotten for him.

Hold the phone, Thome might be on the move, or at least thinking about waiving the no-trade clause. He's not commenting right now.

It appears Thome may have been traded but must wave his no trade.

:o

Oh, man. Oh, man. Let's hear it media. BRING IT. This gives Flower's a real chance of factoring at DH.

Well if Jim Thome does get dealt at least I'll have a contending AL team to get behind for the rest of the season.

^^^^^^^^

 

I hope he gets his ring. He's more than earned it if he waives it.

He’s the classiest guy in the game. I love the guy.

Possible, they just gave up a decent arm for Huff and have a lot of salary on the line for next year.

Cabrera, Huff, Thames, Ordonez, Granderson, Inge, Guillen and only 6 positions to play them. They're rather deep.

If they already cleared waivers the Sox can trade them to NL or AL. It could be any team.

Last 30 days.. Beckham .222 Dye .186 CQ .244 (.144 last 7 games), Rios .192, Konerko .244, Thome .250, rest of starters .250+.. Linebrink 8.49, Williams 8.60, Conteras 7.66, Buerhle 5.44, Pena 3.97, Dotel 4.91, everyone else under 3.60era.

 

That pretty much saids it all.

They were all available and hopefully all still are. Dye, Thome, Konerko, Pods, Dotel, Linebrink, Contreras....they all basically need to be traded now while we can get something in return. The aging, old slow, wear down in the 2nd half types need to be removed from this roster. You will never win a pennant race like that ever, and Kenny finally gets it. No more relying on Thome/Konerko/Dye to get us there.

he was at 3b for both games today. thinking about him at third, beckham at 2nd, alexei at shortstop flowers at catcher, quentin in right or left, and rios in center makes me cum. only question marks would be DH, 1b, and the other corner spot. those can usually be filled decent hitters.

 

a man can dream...

Defensively that might make your pitchers impotent.

Cabrera, Huff, Thames, Ordonez, Granderson, Inge, Guillen and only 6 positions to play them. They're rather deep.

 

 

Not to mention Clete Thomas and Ryan Raburn, two "under the radar" rookies who have both had very solid seasons and quickly replaced Josh Anderson...and they had enough depth to trade Matt Joyce in the best move of this off-season, the Edwin Jackson acquisition.

 

With Jackson on the Sox instead of the Tigers (or the Twins, for that matter), either of those two teams run away with the division.

 

Of course, you could argue if we had Mo Rivera or Pujols, the same would be the case, but there aren't many players who have had the impact on a new team that Jackson did in DET.
