Balta1701 Posted July 30, 2010 Share Posted July 30, 2010 QUOTE (SoxFan562004 @ Jul 30, 2010 -> 02:56 PM) If memory serves me right he was viewed nationally as a higher level prospect than Hudson, and also, FWIW Jackson has a very good year in the AL under his belt only last year A very good year supported almost entirely by a career low BABIP and Comerica ballpark, terrible peripherals, and a total inability to perform in the junior league this year.

Balta1701 Posted July 30, 2010 Share Posted July 30, 2010 QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Jul 30, 2010 -> 02:57 PM) I think Rizzo getting Ramos from the Twins probably empowered his line of thinking that he can ask for the moon from a team and get it The Diamondbacks trading Dan Haren for peanuts didn't seem to convince them to give up Jackson for peanuts.

I don't need angels, but I refuse to root for the success of complete scumbags like that. I just can't do it. AJ is an "asshole" in the sense that he is annoying, plays a little dirty, etc. I can handle that no problem. But that's a long way from beating up your wife in public. Agreed completely, I just can't bring myself to cheer for a man that I know is a piece of s***. I just can't. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

greg775 Posted July 30, 2010 Share Posted July 30, 2010 (edited) Obviously Kotsay and Dunn would platoon. Â Platoon? Aren't they both lefties? That makes no sense. Oz will be forced to play Dunn over Kotsay or get fired and as an Oz lover, that would be a fireable offense. You don't acquire Dunn and split his at bats with Mr. Out.

Soxbadger Posted July 30, 2010 Share Posted July 30, 2010 Contrary to this boards belief Dan Hudson is not better than Joe Saunders.  So unless the Sox had a Joe Saunders what the D-Backs got for Haren is irrelevant.  Not to mention KW probably offered Hudson to numerous different teams, and most likely very few wanted to give him great value. It even appears the nats who want to dump salary dont want Hudson.  /shrugs   Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChiliIrishHammock24 Posted July 30, 2010 Share Posted July 30, 2010 It appears are we are going to lose like 5-6 prospects today and all we will have to show for it is 2 month of Adam Dunn and Brett Myers. I can't say that I'm impressed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
