July 30, 201015 yr Author QUOTE (beautox @ Jul 30, 2010 -> 12:43 AM) I wonder if something like Lillibridge, Gilmore and Griffith would be enough to land him. If it was, Big Puma would have been starting against the Mariners by now.
July 30, 201015 yr I think everything the sox have been doing is based on what happens with Dunn aNd now that those chances are slim. We have moved on and can start talking prospects and money with other teams. If what is being said is true about Dunn, I could see KW pulling off a few moves tomorrow, esp. After minny added Craaps.
July 30, 201015 yr QUOTE (Heads22 @ Jul 30, 2010 -> 01:02 AM) If it was, Big Puma would have been starting against the Mariners by now. I don't think so. It seems pretty clear that he isn't very high on the Sox priority list.
July 30, 201015 yr QUOTE (SoxFan1 @ Jul 30, 2010 -> 01:13 AM) I don't think so. It seems pretty clear that he isn't very high on the Sox priority list. That wasn't the point. He'd definitely be here if that package was all it took to get him. And now that I think about it, who is Griffith?
July 30, 201015 yr QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Jul 30, 2010 -> 01:18 AM) That wasn't the point. He'd definitely be here if that package was all it took to get him. And now that I think about it, who is Griffith? Nevin Griffith
July 30, 201015 yr I got a feeling we're going to get him now that the Astros have the Jays' AAA phenom Wallace. You heard it here first. We are going to acquire Berkman.
July 30, 201015 yr QUOTE (SoxFan1 @ Jul 30, 2010 -> 01:19 AM) Nevin Griffith I'm an idiot. For some reason when he said Griffith Dexter Carter came to mind.
July 30, 201015 yr QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Jul 30, 2010 -> 02:52 AM) I'm an idiot. For some reason when he said Griffith Dexter Carter came to mind. I freakin' loved Dexter Carter. He's been s*** since we dealt him. But it's easy to get them mixed up. Scrawny black righty's with great stuff and control issues.
July 30, 201015 yr Berkman shouldn't cost much in terms of talent. Taking on his salary is the big thing for getting a deal done. With Hou. kicking in salary in the Oswalt deal, they prob. don't or can't put in more cash for Berkman.
July 30, 201015 yr QUOTE (Frank_Thomas35 @ Jul 30, 2010 -> 01:52 AM) Man would that be amazing, a Berkman and Jackson from AZ trade would be great additions. And at the most it hopefuly would only cost us at the MOST maybe Hudson and one of the trio with the rest being fillers for both players. That would be a perfect trade day for me as well. I think Berkman fits in more with what the Sox are trying to do offensively than Dunn does, and I like Dunn. The one guy I don't want the Sox to give in any trade is Viciedo(Beckham is already off limits).

The one guy I don't want the Sox to give in any trade is Viciedo(Beckham is already off limits). Huh? How could you even say that? Dunn is a much better fit for our offense.
July 30, 201015 yr QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Jul 30, 2010 -> 08:59 AM) Huh? How could you even say that? Dunn is a much better fit for our offense. Berkman is more of an all around hitter,and better on the basepaths, than Dunn and that's what the Sox have tried to do this year. Dunn brings more power without question but he's alot like Thome and the Sox/Ozzie said they are wanting more gap hitters and such. I'm not saying I agree with it but Berkman is more in that mold.
July 30, 201015 yr BNightengale #mlb #astros The Astros are very much willing to move Berkman, but there is no urgency, knowing he will clear waivers and be traded in Aug. half a minute ago via web
July 30, 201015 yr Yankees get Berkman...will Tampa Bay Rays respond by trading for Dunn....tune in...XM 175 and Sirius 210 10 minutes ago via web
July 30, 201015 yr If TB is serious about Dunn, start uncrossing your fingers and hoping for Luke Scott
July 30, 201015 yr QUOTE (Real @ Jul 30, 2010 -> 04:30 PM) If TB is serious about Dunn, start uncrossing your fingers and hoping for Luke Scott Didnt you hear, the Tigers and us are in discussion with the Tigers for Brad freaking Hawpe!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Edited July 30, 201015 yr by BearSox
July 30, 201015 yr According to rotoworld, Yankees won't have to give up any premium prospects for Berkman. Just have to take on his salary.

July 30, 201015 yr QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Jul 30, 2010 -> 10:36 PM) Did Kenny and his staff take a 5 hour nap after trading for Jackson? I hope KW has a master plan, because as of now, this is a massive fail.
July 30, 201015 yr QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Jul 30, 2010 -> 04:36 PM) Did Kenny and his staff take a 5 hour nap after trading for Jackson? Or Wait for it Here it comes They dont want Berkman
July 30, 201015 yr QUOTE (Real @ Jul 30, 2010 -> 04:38 PM) Or Wait for it Here it comes They dont want Berkman Well they better get something done because Kotsay ain't cutting it.
July 30, 201015 yr More than likely Houston didnt want any of the crap the Sox tried to pitch them. My guess is Houston wanted some one like Dayan + and Kenny walked away.

Not according to what I've read, which is the astros got crap and yanks are just absorbing salary Looks like kenny doesnt want Fat Elvis

I wouldn't either as he hasn't been fantastic for awhile.
