Why?

 

There's still another month.

 

I've been saying this for the past 48 hours. It was simple, we either give up Viciedo to get Dunn or Manny, or we wait to claim someone through waivers.

 

I'll take the waiver route, and for all the people complaining about trading Hudson, they should be glad that Kenny didn't pull the trigger and give up Viciedo.

 

 

At least with Cowley, no one actually lets him dictate how they feel. It scares me the amount of people that take Rongey's words as intelligent.

 

Right, like he totally isn't the Guillens kids b****? I can't believe anyone would ever take anything Cowley said as intelligent.

August is for overpaid/underperforming/injured players to the dumped or dealt for low level guys. Fun.

 

Alex Rios was in the underperforming category, Manny fits all three, could be something.

You can easily grab a Luke Scott, LaRoche that way.

You are in the wrong place then... This is either going to keep going until we clinch the division, or for years if we don't.

Oh, it will continue even after we clinch the division.

It is more difficult to make a trade you want via the waiver deadline period than simply making the trade before the deadline on the 31st.

Not really sure what your first line means, but I'm of the opinion that both of those individuals are bad at their job.

Alex Rios says hello.

 

As does Carl Pavano, and Adam Dunn was also traded from the Reds to the Diamondbacks a couple of years ago in August.

I don't really want Luke Scott (assuming he goes unlcaimed, which he really shouldn't), the asking price is ridiculous, that's not going to change a few weeks later. And sure you can grab LaRoche assuming no one claims him and his tiny salary AND the D-backs ask for next to nothing in return.

Alex Rios says hello.

 

The Sox wanted the Jays to pick up part of his salary and they just let the Sox assume all of it via the claim. I'm sure KW & Co. were not smiling ear to ear with that news. Sox are extremely fortunate that Rios is having a career year.

 

 

 

You can always get a deal done if you're willing to dramatically overpay.

 

But that's no way to run a ballclub.

 

Trading Viciedo to get a rental bat would have been stupid.

 

So we didn't do it. Get over it people.

I would really doubt either of those 2 would go unclaimed by every team below the White Sox

I totally agree with everything you said. My whole problem is that we traded Hudson and Holmberg for Jackson while not addressing hitting. Why couldn't we have used Hudson, Holmberg, and one more prospect for something better.

 

 

The idea of the sox rocking with Andruw/Kotsay as a DH against the Yanks/Rays in the playoffs sickens me. Hopefully Guillen lets the Dayan get more ABs as this winds down and talent overshadows an old legend and a pinch hitter.

If they really felt they could really upgrade the offense for that package, they would have. I haven't seen any of the left handed powerhitters prices that looked like they fit that.

Holy s*** Jason Goff is saying that the Dunn deal might be announced shortly.

The failure was going with Kotsay as a DH to begin with. I just think its time for people to stop thinking the Sox can go pick someone up near the deadline. Its a little more complicated than that.

 

If no one wants to trade the first couple months of the season and prices are too high at the deadline, its time to stack your team in the offseason.

Hopefully this is better info than his Lebron info.

Maybe it will be announced right after the Bulls press conference welcoming Lebron to town.

Now he's taking it back. f*** he got my hopes up.

And now he says no.

How long do we ahve Dayan under control for?
