June 23, 201213 yr QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jun 23, 2012 -> 02:24 PM) I'm fine with that too. Or Will Ohman. I'd be ok with tht too, my no trade list is just a bit longer than fathoms.
June 23, 201213 yr Well if we lose out to the Pirates for Youkillis Ill be ok with it. In the end I think the Pirates will have to give up a good prospect to get what they are asking for.
June 23, 201213 yr QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jun 23, 2012 -> 07:16 PM) Unless we are getting back a legit prospect, that would be awful. If we could dump Crain on them for Youk that would be great. Crain is just another body that takes the mound once in a while. Even if Youk sucks at least we wouldn't have given anything up.

Even if Youk sucks at least we wouldn't have given anything up. We would only have one right handed set up guy left in Jones. After that it is Bruney.
June 23, 201213 yr QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jun 23, 2012 -> 02:48 PM) We would only have one right handed set up guy left in Jones. After that it is Bruney. Hypothetically say Bruney has a good month and we still need a 3b end of July. Consider it then? Def. saves some money to move Crain.

I'd imagine they'd call up Heath after Crain is moved, but chasing a pennant with that bullpen would be very difficult.
June 23, 201213 yr Crain is not "just another body." He is way too good a piece to be sending back for a broken down player who, according to nearly everyone who has scouted him, isn't doing anything particularly well right now.

June 23, 201213 yr QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jun 23, 2012 -> 02:06 PM) I'd only consider dealing Crain if we fall apart. Didn't Bruney have a good month a few years ago with us? I seem to remember him sporting an era of about 2 for quite a few weeks.

June 23, 201213 yr This could be bull considering it's a new twitter account but FWIW. #RedSox Kevin Youkilis & Cash Considerations traded to #WhiteSox for Matt Thornton & PTBNL. #MLB https://twitter.com/98_5sportshub/status/216610937690537986
June 23, 201213 yr I really hope we didn't give up Matt for this guy. Why the f*** would we have to include a player to be named later? Edited June 23, 201213 yr by iamshack

June 23, 201213 yr Better Matty than a young arm, I suppose. Neutral move for the future, risky move for the present.
June 23, 201213 yr Is this legit? This is the most I would have given up without being angry. Leyson Septimo anyone?

June 23, 201213 yr Barf. I know Matt has struggled in big time situations, but he's worth more to us than Youk will be.

I guess these lefties all have to step up now, but we are deep there.
