July 28, 201114 yr QUOTE (The '05 Sound @ Jul 28, 2011 -> 03:39 PM) You just hope KW doesnt blow this opportunity, which with him is highly likely. I have absolutely no hope Kenny will do anything to help to max the opportunity, not unless we can clone Kenny and put the clone in charge of another org, then we could trade one of our overpaid, aging, overrated slugs for 2 or 3 excellent prospects.
July 28, 201114 yr QUOTE (Marty34 @ Jul 28, 2011 -> 02:40 PM) Quentin is not a player you build around, he will be 30 next year and I'm willing to bet the Sox have already got his best years. I have season tickets and I want to expedite the rebuilding process. If Quentin is still here Monday, I'll be very disappointed. For once, I agree with you Joe. With him getting expensive and his injury history, I have no problem filling up the farm system for him,
July 28, 201114 yr QUOTE (RockRaines @ Jul 28, 2011 -> 02:39 PM) I feel like these guys are just reposting what they see on here in different words. Writers stealing from Soxtalk? NEVER!

The Cloned KW would've already dumped his top prospects for Brian Roberts

July 28, 201114 yr Boston is a team I hadn't heard was interested yet. I don't see a deal happening with Pittsburgh, however, they've been "re-building" for two decades. Maybe they have some good stuff going on in their farm system. Does anyone know about that? As far as the Braves and Phillies, I would imagine if a deal were to happen, it'd be with one of them. I'm torn about trading Quentin. I suppose I'd be happy with a huge haul. But if KW trades him for less than he's worth (and right now he's worth a lot to certain teams), I won't be happy.
July 28, 201114 yr The Braves are "hot" for White Sox right fielder Carlos Quentin, tweets Rosenthal, and the Sox love Atlanta's young arms. However, one holdup is the thumb injury to Dayan Viciedo, who would replace Quentin in Chicago's lineup
July 28, 201114 yr QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Jul 28, 2011 -> 02:48 PM) Or Chone Figgins. Now that his name has come up, I wonder how interested the Sox would be if they could get Seattle to pick up tons of that deal?

July 28, 201114 yr QUOTE (SoxFan1 @ Jul 28, 2011 -> 02:50 PM) I'd take Jameson Taillon for Quentin. #11 rated prospect? Sure.
July 28, 201114 yr QUOTE (beck72 @ Jul 28, 2011 -> 10:29 AM) From the sounds of it, the Phils know they have a 2-3 year window to win. Whether that means they'd do a Brown for Quentin deal, who knows. If I were the Sox, I'd do it. http://www.csnphilly.com/07/27/11/Phillies...&feedID=704 So if they need a hitter why are they possibly willing to deal Brown?
July 28, 201114 yr QUOTE (hawksfan61 @ Jul 28, 2011 -> 02:52 PM) I hope not interested at all, Figgins is f***ing terrible. I'd swap Rios for Chone in a heartbeat
July 28, 201114 yr Given what is being talked about as Q's market value, I'd be all over selling him and bringing up Viciedo. If Kenny can also find ways to shed Rios from the books, even better. I can live with Dunn potentially recovering and figuring stuff out, but hell, I'd be open to moving him too. Not that we'd get anything of value for Rios or Dunn.

July 28, 201114 yr QUOTE (Real @ Jul 28, 2011 -> 02:50 PM) Why? He's as bad as Rios is. Worse if you take age into account. Because the Sox have been looking for a leadoff hitter since 2006. I wouldn't be surprised at all if they took a buy low shot on him, which included a majority of his contract being paid.
July 28, 201114 yr QUOTE (Jenksy Cat @ Jul 28, 2011 -> 03:02 PM) I'd swap Rios for Chone in a heartbeat If we included no cash, hell yes.
July 28, 201114 yr QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jul 28, 2011 -> 04:05 PM) If we included no cash, hell yes. I would trade Rios for a couple porta-johns.
July 28, 201114 yr QUOTE (kwolf68 @ Jul 28, 2011 -> 03:06 PM) I would trade Rios for a couple porta-johns. and 3 Churros
July 28, 201114 yr QUOTE (kitekrazy @ Jul 28, 2011 -> 04:01 PM) So if they need a hitter why are they possibly willing to deal Brown? Because he's still a kid and has only put up a .749 OPS this year. Quentin would be an immediate bat upgrade, and if you look at that lineup, it is missing RH power after Werth left.
