This is just crazy, as I said in the game thread, we treated Peavy like Terry Mulholland his rubber arm used to be treated. Just put his ass on the DL, it's not like he's been effective anyways.

That's a name I haven't heard in a coon's age.

Hopefully talking to Jerry about his contract!

 

Where is that from?

Seriously. I want to know more about this.

We he has gotten in trouble for coincidentally. Sounds familiar for some reason...

Not that it should surprise anyone, but Heyman is reporting the Sox are fielding calls on Jackson. I don't imagine they'd get much back for him.

At this point I'd take a 4th OF.

He currently ranks as a type B free agent and anyone who trades for him will assuredly offer him arbitration. He should bring back something that is at least moderately interesting.

The Jackson deals might be Swisher trades part 2 if we end up getting a bunch of nobodies back.

Shouldn't we get a 3rd one first?

Why would we trade Jackson for anything less than a quality prospect. It is highly likely that he wouldn't accept arbitration and the White Sox would thus get draft picks.

Draft pick, singular. Atleast at the current state.

A sandwich pick is still a pretty valuable tool.

It's high enough to get a quality player in a good draft. Jackson should get us something.

Though I can see his statement being correct if you count Viciedo

I would love a sandwich pick next year for Jackson. Just hope Kenny does not screw it up.

This is the risk going forward. We need to weigh if we can get a better player out of a trade than we can in the draft (obviously). The concern comes in with how much faith you put into our ability to draft the 'right' guy next year. It comes down to risk/reward- we might be able to get a low/medium-risk prospect or two for Jackson in a trade, or we risk another high pick that could end up being a bust. Very tough decision to make going forward, and I know I can't definitively say which is best.

I find it hilarious that people think we'd get nothing for Jackson. SP is always expensive at the deadline and while Jackson isn't a world-beater, he can eat some innings and potentially have a dominating stretch like he did for us last year. The rental factor hurts, but like everyone has said the type B compensation helps make up for it.

 

Someone will give you something of value for Jackson. We won't be getting a Hudson/Holmberg package, but I could easily see one desperate team giving us a top 100 prospect for him. What other SPs will be available? Which ones are far more valuable than Jackson? Like always, supply will drive up of a mediocre, yet talented pitcher.

Maybe.

He's definitely a load of blah if you ask me.

He should copy Buehrle and work faster. At times he has good stuff.

Jackson isn't pitching like it was thought (by many, not just the Sox) he should. It was the rental factor I was thinking about when I proposed we couldn't get much for him. I'm not well versed in the Type A vs. Type B compensation stuff, but I see now that we should get something halfway decent. No matter what, though, it does look like the trade for him was a dud.

Not to mention the market for starting pitching is supposed to be pretty bad this year.

What's the 2012 draft look like?

Exactly

 

Some GM will get nervous and overspend as there are plenty of teams in the race, especially in the NL. You package Jackson, Pierre and Bruney and you can get a nice deal.

That's a weird package. A mediocre starter, leftfielder at the end of his career who we want to run out of town who really doesn't bring much to the table, and just another guy in the bullpen.

What do you expect back? Not to mention Jackson and Pierre make good money.

 

I have a gut feeling we'll keep Jackson. Who knows if we can dump Rios, Pierre and Dunn. Highly doubtful.

They fit needs that playoff teams want filled with veterans as oppossed to young kids they may be using at this time. Salaries do not mean much if there is playoff run at stake.

 

There is no team taking Dunn or Rios unless the white sox are eating salary which they won't.
