I would be okay with a Torres/Harell 5th starter but we'd have to get another pitcher in august. Sweaty has ben great but I don't know if we can trust him to last the rest of the way. I really did like EJax in our rotation.

No Viciedo!!!!

 

If you want a bat Viciedo is going to be traded. The system isn't deep enough to avoid that.

Trading away 21 year olds with >.820 OPS's in the big leagues for bats is not the smartest move I can come up with.

I bet not, I thing he may be the chip KW is waiting for rizzo to come down on. Well see 64 minutes to go.

you maaaay have taken his post a tad too seriously. just a hunch.

 

green works well around here

I would only trade Dayan if the trade nets us value past this year......would not do it for Dunn who's likely a 2 month rental

an .820 OPS with zero walks. I'm not really sure that's impressive or bats*** crazy.

If you're planning on trading Viciedo with Jackson for Dunn, why not just go to the Dodgers and offer them Viciedo for Manny? Manny + Jackson > Dunn.

What if they offered Dunn + Livan Hernandez for Jackson, Viciedo, and Danks2. Would you do it?

Dodgers are going after Luke Scott, which could signify they intend to trade Manny.

I like Jackson, Viciedo, & LaRoche better.

It's both. The BB will come in time, part of that though is he needs the pitchers to be afraid enough of him to stay the Hell out of the zone (Vlad style).

Go get ur Scott LA we would lov to take Manny from you.

I've been pleasantly surprised by his lack of wild swings, I thought he would be Juan up there, he has laid off some good breaking balls in his limited ABs

Honestly, I'd offer Morel for Dunn before I give up Day.

of course

Hell no. The Sox dont need to trade any more prospects. This power hitter could of been signed the last two Winters for no prospects. (Matsui, Vlad, Dunn, Thome, Manny, Abreu, Damon, BYRD)

When you can say things like that about a player it becomes pretty obvious you dont just trade him for a rental.

That's how he was in the minors too. He wasn't squaring up pitches last year so he didn't really intimidate people, but he gradually started taking BB's. He'll take the walk if people aren't going to pitch to him, but if you give him something in the zone, it's either in play or foul.

I have a feeling if the Nats would accept that to this point, Dunn would be on a plane

Where did you hear Scott to La?

Where did you hear Scott to La?

I'd rather have Luke Scott than Manny, looking forward.

The tooth ferry whispered it in my ear after stealing my molar last night.

Again, you want Luke Scott up there in the Postseason rather than Manny?
