January 5, 201214 yr QUOTE (SOXOBAMA @ Jan 5, 2012 -> 04:46 PM) is this guy a fan or Toronto writer? Some random guy claiming a source about 48 hours ago.
January 5, 201214 yr As for that columnist discrediting this brboiler dude because of the Gary harris situation.. You can't do that. Gary Harris' dad was at Purdue and Indiana multiple times during the recruit, even during the final days leading up the annoucement because he goes there on business trips multiple times per week. I'm guessing he knows nothing of the Harris recruitment.. It was incredibly tight-lipped. Insane
January 5, 201214 yr QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Jan 5, 2012 -> 04:30 PM) Would Thornton, Floyd, and Beckham command that sort of package? I doubt it but was going to throw it out there. Quite possibly, but I see cash going from us to them in that deal, otherwise AA just picked up about $14 mill right there for next year alone (if my memory is right).

January 5, 201214 yr QUOTE (fathom @ Jan 5, 2012 -> 04:53 PM) This makes a lot more sense No kidding. I'd be happy with McGuire and Cardona like suggested.
January 5, 201214 yr QUOTE (fathom @ Jan 5, 2012 -> 04:53 PM) This makes a lot more sense Maybe, but I do think Floyd could command Drabek + McGuire (it's a bit costly for Toronto but Drabek seemed to fall hard).

They obviously know a lot more about Drabek than we do. I would be willing to bet that if we could get Drabek too, it's because they believe he's cooked, which may end up being a bad thing.

I would be willing to bet that if we could get Drabek too, it's because they believe he's cooked, which may end up being a bad thing. One would have said the exact same thing about "Gavin Floyd" in 2006.

The one thing I'd say about Floyd right now is...if the return isn't really solid, there's no reason to move him. We've shed a lot of salary already, we've cleared out the guys we needed to move, other salary might well be moveable later this season...if we can't get a solid deal for Floyd that makes us better by 2013, there's little reason to move him.
January 5, 201214 yr Surprised no one has mentioned Jake Marisnick. Probably untouchable, but I think he's going to be a stud. Edited January 5, 201214 yr by DirtySox

Agreed, which is why I'm hoping it is Drabek and McGuire.
January 5, 201214 yr NotKenWilliams: ITS TRUE!!! I'm trading Gavin Floyd to Toronto for Cito Gaston's used jock strap. on Jan. 5 at 04:58 p.m. I would extremely unhappy with this deal. I guess it makes sense as a salary dump though.
January 5, 201214 yr There's a part of me that thinks it's a big mistake for Kenny to not try and get a catching prospect in some of these trades. Of course, he'll probably just sign Suzuki next offseason and we'll have to hear Hawk rave about him 162 games a year.
January 5, 201214 yr Surprised no one has mentioned Jake Marisnick. Probably untouchable, but I think he's going to be a stud. totally agree with you
January 5, 201214 yr Probably way too good to be true, I'm sure something might still happen but rather McGuire and a throw in.
