SoxFan562004 Posted July 30, 2010 Share Posted July 30, 2010 QUOTE (greg775 @ Jul 30, 2010 -> 05:53 PM) I wonder if KW even checks with Oz or Jerry before making trades or if it's all on him. Probably all on him. i think unless it's a payroll addition that hasn't been sanctioned it's all on KW Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chw42 Posted July 30, 2010 Share Posted July 30, 2010 QUOTE (Thunderbolt @ Jul 30, 2010 -> 05:20 PM) Ethier and TCQ on the same team would be insane. We'd bludgeon teams to death. Â And their horrible defense would give away a lot of runs away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably all on him. No, he has to check to make sure Jerry will sign off on adding new salary. I don't think he asks Ozzie at all anymore.

justBLAZE Posted July 30, 2010 Share Posted July 30, 2010 Yankees got Astros to send money back and won't be sending any good prospects. Berkman could have been had for NOTHING.

You've got to wonder how that happens when the Nats are asking for multiple prospects.  Unless it turns out they're not major Yanks prospects but still equivalent or better than what Sox could give up.

Dick Allen Posted July 30, 2010 Share Posted July 30, 2010 QUOTE (SoxFan1 @ Jul 30, 2010 -> 05:52 PM) Hard to tell, but I get the feeling he didn't know any specific names. And technically, he IS a source. He's there at the stadium and with the team every single day. He knows as much about the goings on in the organization as anyone. As much of a douche as he is, he knows what he's talking about. He wasn't at the park the last few days. His tweets were all a bunch of BS. He was late to the Jackson party then said KW is working on something that would call the Jackson trade off. Then 17 minutes later said they both could happen. All after writing an article stating how KW loves to work with misinformation in the air. He's full of it this time. There was nothing that any one of the posters on this board couldn't have posted. We all know KW is trying to hit a home run. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's really too bad...I would have loved Berkman on the cheap. Like you said, we just got to hope KW is working on something big. I just hope he can find a way to get us a nice bat without giving up Viciedo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â Good point. Makes me wonder what was going on this morning. Could be Berkman/Myers was a real thing that was shot down by Berkman. Â Really crazy and interesting stuff we might never find out. Â The fact that the Berkman deal went down shortly after Jackson leads me to believe they were somehow intertwined. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
