June 8, 201114 yr QUOTE (fathom @ Jun 8, 2011 -> 12:30 PM) Couple of people on MLB Network thought Quentin should be starting Really? Hm. I guess I need to keep up on other RF's better, I didn't think CQ was in that air, but I'd have to look around more. Humber, despite his high value to the Sox, I just don't see being a serious consideration, looking at the other starts available. I still think when it comes down to it, PK and Santos are the ones most likely to go.
June 8, 201114 yr QUOTE (kapzk @ Jun 7, 2011 -> 08:54 PM) Interesting... now that brings up the question would the Sox make a move involving Humber if Jesus Montero is thrown into the deal? Wow. Just. Wow.
June 8, 201114 yr QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Jun 8, 2011 -> 01:36 PM) Wow. Just. Wow. Yeah, it's silly, there's a reason deals like that never happen, it's playing with a hypothetical, but they're right. Humber right now is worth a ton to the Sox...which means they'd need to be blown away to trade him...or think that he's about to implode himself.

I still think when it comes down to it, PK and Santos are the ones most likely to go. Well here are some of his ranks among American League outfielders HR - 3rd RBI - 1st OBP - 4th SLG - 4th OPS - 3rd 2B - 1st So to me that's a pretty compelling case to be an all-star. And Alexei is the best SS in the AL so that's why he should be there. We really should have 4 guys IMO (PK, Santos). That being said, I highly doubt we get more than 2.

You go ahead and roll the dice if the Yanks offer Montero for a 29 year old journeyman. It'd never happen.

But we also know that if you offered up a random guy who was a legit prospect but unlikely to be a star, you'd never move Humber for him right now.

Honestly, because of the competition, Konerko is probably the least deserving candidate despite having a great season so far. Quentin, Santos and Alexei all should be there though I'm sure we'll manage to get 1 AS.

Oh I understand the competition, but I just looked and to me Konerko has clearly been the 3rd best 1B this year behind Miggy and AGon. He has better numbers than Tex mostly across the board. So with the assumption they take three 1B, IMO he deserves to be one of them.

June 8, 201114 yr Luis #64? Who is that? A coach? And why would someone pay $119.99 for his game worn jersey?
