July 31, 201114 yr Ken_Rosenthal Ken Rosenthal #WhiteSox seeking rotation depth. Traded Jackson to save money, now concerned they're too thin. #tradedeadline #MLB Whats Kenny up to Edited July 31, 201114 yr by Baron
July 31, 201114 yr Paging Mr Rick Hahn, please take the chips away from Kenny before he does something stupid.
July 31, 201114 yr QUOTE (DirtySox @ Jul 30, 2011 -> 11:11 PM) Clown shoes. Definite circus act by Kenny Williams up to this point.
July 31, 201114 yr Jackson was gone after this year. They shed his salary, got Teahen's contract off the books, picked up a good reliever and got a starting prospect. Now they're looking for a starting pitcher they can control for more than just the next few months. Makes sense to me.

Well how exactly do we get a pitcher that we can control for a few years without giving up something of value. Ithis is a sellers market right now.

July 31, 201114 yr QUOTE (South Side Fireworks Man @ Jul 30, 2011 -> 11:18 PM) So you thought they should have held on to Jackson? I don't think we have the offense to win the division. I am afraid that Kenny will trade something of value from our farm to make up for his monetary issues. I would of traded Quentin and Thornton by now.
July 31, 201114 yr Author QUOTE (MAX @ Jul 30, 2011 -> 11:21 PM) I don't buy this rumor at all. Uh....Its Ken...he doesnt report stuff that he pulls out of thin air

July 31, 201114 yr QUOTE (Baron @ Jul 30, 2011 -> 11:27 PM) Uh....Its Ken...he doesnt report stuff that he pulls out of thin air I'm sure he has been wrong before.
July 31, 201114 yr QUOTE (southsideirish71 @ Jul 30, 2011 -> 11:24 PM) I would of traded Quentin and Thornton by now. For whom? I sure wouldn't have traded Quentin for the package the Astos got for Pence and the Phillies would probably have given less for Quentin. But I agree, I'd trade Quentin and Thornton too if they can get good value for them. Let's see what KW does by tomorrow.
July 31, 201114 yr Kenny said today that he isn't planning to make any more trades by the deadline. I believed him. Maybe I bought a line, maybe not. Edited July 31, 201114 yr by MAX

Yeah he says the samething before every trade deadline and look what happens Edited July 31, 201114 yr by Baron

In the past, I remember him being candid about participating in negotiations. Its the specifics that he will not discuss. The reason I don't believe this is it doesn't make any sense. Kenny is not a fan that overreacts to every bad game. This rumor seems to appeal to that mentality.

July 31, 201114 yr Someone mentioned this previously...and I think they caught s*** for it, but I wonder what the Mets would need back for David Wright...Solves our 3rd base problem...the salary could be absorbed this year, but they'd obviously have to make some moves in the offseason for next year, as he will make $15 million. We need some kind of jolt offensively....otherwise I would rather just deal Q and Matt and take our chances with this division regardless...
July 31, 201114 yr I think it was Kenny's plan all along to get something for Jackson (Frasor, Stewart and ridding Teahen's contract), then try to obtain some young pitching prospects. The Q for Beachy rumor for example has been floating around for quite some time. Also the Thornton for starting pitcher rumors. It's just the way Rosenthal worded his tweet that makes it sound like KW just realized that trading Jackson thinned out his starting staff. That's ridiculous.

Yeah this idea must have been festering in Kenny's mind for some time. This just didnt come up today.
July 31, 201114 yr QUOTE (Baron @ Jul 30, 2011 -> 11:42 PM) You think he just decided this since the last game? No. That is what was suggested by you: Yep they are regretting that now. Humber has looked shaky and who knows what Peavy is going to do.
