July 29, 201213 yr QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jul 28, 2012 -> 10:44 PM) The Tigers gave up Jacob Turner and a high level catching prospect to get Annibal Sanchez. We have up Eduardo Escobar and Pedro Hernandez to get Francisco Liriano. Sanchez got shelled today too.
July 29, 201213 yr WOW!...Step away for a bit after the game & come back to this news? Love it. Can't wait to see what Coop can do with Liriano. Good luck to Escobar, he was fun to watch run when finding a gap. Fits in perfectly with the Twins. KW is on a roll right now.
July 29, 201213 yr Escobar is a nice player to have, but titles are foremost. If his bat is MLB level, it'll be a surprise. one of those rare late blooming things
July 29, 201213 yr really hope that coop can help liriano. his stuff is too good,maybe he saw something he can fix
July 29, 201213 yr QUOTE (gosox41 @ Jul 28, 2012 -> 10:36 PM) Let's hope Liriano is motivated by playing for a contending team. Does anyone know why he's been so bad this year? Has it been lack of motivation? Injury? Is he tipping his pitches? Just one of those years? How has his velocity been? Bob He's been much better lately (aside from the Sox game). Still a K machine.
July 29, 201213 yr QUOTE (SOXOBAMA @ Jul 29, 2012 -> 04:45 AM) Danks is our only backup OF. Jeff Baker of the Cubs wouldnt be a bad pickup Agreed, and I've said before I think Reed Johnson would be a tremendous fit as well.
July 29, 201213 yr QUOTE (pettie4sox @ Jul 28, 2012 -> 10:45 PM) Sanchez got shelled today too. i would much rather have liriano over sanchez
July 29, 201213 yr I think the Sox get the best RH reliever they can. They're done relying on Nate Jones to get any outs of consequence.
July 29, 201213 yr QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Jul 28, 2012 -> 10:36 PM) Here's another roster scenario to consider... they start 6 AND have 7 in the pen. Bench of only three: Flowers C and 1B, Hudson skill IF positions, Danks all OF. Not likely, but possible, at least short term. They have to have someone who can play SS.
July 29, 201213 yr Liriano is only 28 & if Coop can straighten him out we could see him in a Sox uni for awhile.
July 29, 201213 yr Ya, I wouldn't mind adding another bench player but besides that I'm ready to roll with this team.
July 29, 201213 yr Chuck Garfien @ChuckGarfien White Sox at Minnesota Monday. Liriano was scheduled to pitch Sunday. Sox could start him vs. Twins, give Sale extra day off

July 29, 201213 yr QUOTE (Melissa1334 @ Jul 28, 2012 -> 10:47 PM) really hope that coop can help liriano. his stuff is too good,maybe he saw something he can fix I'm sure that KW wouldnt have made this trade without talking to Coop about him. If they were in agreement over this............then "IN TIME" I think we can expect some real positives. plus it is insurance and another leftie in the rotation if Danks DOES need surgery. Always a NICE problem to have too many starters
July 29, 201213 yr QUOTE (Melissa1334 @ Jul 28, 2012 -> 10:49 PM) i would much rather have liriano over sanchez Agreed, but that's not to say Liriano isn't a gamble. H/e's been cuffed around pretty good this year.
July 29, 201213 yr Man a guy like WILLIE BLOOMQUIST would round out this Sox roster PERFECTLY.....& possibly one more reliever.
July 29, 201213 yr QUOTE (Marty34 @ Jul 28, 2012 -> 10:50 PM) I think the Sox get the best RH reliever they can. They're done relying on Nate Jones to get any outs of consequence. With Crain and Myers, they don't have to.
July 29, 201213 yr CSN announced the trade just after they showed the Who's Hot/Who's Not segment. Liriano was on the who's not list.
July 29, 201213 yr QUOTE (Marty34 @ Jul 28, 2012 -> 10:52 PM) Agreed, but that's not to say Liriano isn't a gamble. H/e's been cuffed around pretty good this year. Until the Sox kicked his s*** in, he had been red hot.
July 29, 201213 yr Dan Hayes @DanHayesCSN Kenny Williams has worked hard to make a deal. Via email: move for Liriano "imperative." Also said phone is out minutes, he's turning it off
July 29, 201213 yr QUOTE (Melissa1334 @ Jul 28, 2012 -> 10:49 PM) i would much rather have liriano over sanchez As odd as it sounds, I would much rather have Liriano over Greinke.
July 29, 201213 yr QUOTE (mmmmmbeeer @ Jul 28, 2012 -> 10:54 PM) As odd as it sounds, I would much rather have Liriano over Greinke. i hope he sucks and goes 5-5 in his 10 starts anyways me too because atleast we could resign him and had zero chance of resigning him. he didnt want to come here and dempster either so forget them Edited July 29, 201213 yr by Melissa1334
