July 29, 201213 yr QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 28, 2012 -> 10:14 PM) Why do people think a starting pitcher will get traded from the Sox now? We all know Sale will be skipped a lot the rest of the way, and you have a lot of question marks in Floyd/Humber/Q. Who said that? I think they go 6-man from here out to rest Sale and Peavy and Quintana.
July 29, 201213 yr Hey we will not face Liriano in Minn ...............Danks must be done for 2012 IMO. Edited July 29, 201213 yr by Soxfest
July 29, 201213 yr If there's one thing Cooper excels at, it's getting his pitchers to improve their control. This is just a great trade.
July 29, 201213 yr QUOTE (chw42 @ Jul 28, 2012 -> 10:08 PM) I have a feeling Eduardo is going to hurt us in the future. Liriano can possibly pitch against his old team this weekend. I agree with the Escobar statement. I heard the news on the post game show, and even before it started Frank was saying how much he was liked in the clubhouse, high energy high character guy. Sucks to lose a chemistry guy like that but man this could be just what this team needs. Crazy interdivision trade that can have great story lines for years to come. Thanks Escy. What's Franciscos contract like? Who do we call up to fill our bench? Great KW move
July 29, 201213 yr QUOTE (Melissa1334 @ Jul 28, 2012 -> 10:13 PM) funny thing is that the sox basically killed his trade value by lighting him up the other day lol That was KW's plan haha
July 29, 201213 yr Since it's way too difficult to watch AL Central games in central Iowa....what is Liriano throwing this year?
July 29, 201213 yr QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Jul 28, 2012 -> 10:13 PM) Were you around then, Q? Tizzle's Liriano rants were the stuff of legend. No, but it's infamous.

We all know Sale will be skipped a lot the rest of the way, and you have a lot of question marks in Floyd/Humber/Q. I agree Peavy too since the surgery he hasn't pitched a lot of innings.
July 29, 201213 yr QUOTE (ChiSox420* @ Jul 28, 2012 -> 10:14 PM) Who's playing SS for Charlotte? Seems like we need to call up a new backup... or another trade Drew Garcia, who is a non-prospect. Kinda doubt he comes up.
July 29, 201213 yr QUOTE (Frank_Thomas35 @ Jul 29, 2012 -> 03:16 AM) I think this likely means Danksy will be shut down. As well he should be.
July 29, 201213 yr After seeing him pitch against the Sox I'm not sure Liriano is the answer, but after Greinke he was my second choice and the price was right.
July 29, 201213 yr QUOTE (Frank_Thomas35 @ Jul 28, 2012 -> 10:16 PM) I think this likely means Danksy will be shut down. Danks hinted today that surgery was a possibility.
July 29, 201213 yr I have to imagine that the Sox will go with the 6 man staff and a 6 man bullpen. Septimo will most likely get sent down.
July 29, 201213 yr Author Who do we call up to fill our bench? I don't know. There are no position players currently on the 40 that can be brought up, but this was a 2-for-1 deal so there is now a spot open on the 40.
July 29, 201213 yr QUOTE (Frank_Thomas35 @ Jul 28, 2012 -> 10:16 PM) I think this likely means Danksy will be shut down. Yup. Whether or not we move a SP, and whether or not Danks comes back, this provides us a lot of versatility with the rotation, especially with a ton of question marks. Liriano is no sure thing either, but you obviously have to like Coop's track record with guys like this.
July 29, 201213 yr Props to KW on these trades. I'll take a 6 man rotation with the extra day of rest for Chris. Verrry nice. Do we have Liriano for next year, too?
July 29, 201213 yr QUOTE (Quinarvy @ Jul 28, 2012 -> 10:15 PM) No, but it's infamous. Oh ok. Anyway, anybody who doesn't like this deal means you somehow, someway value the white sox' farm system. That just isn't acceptable.
July 29, 201213 yr QUOTE (ChiSox420* @ Jul 28, 2012 -> 09:14 PM) Who's playing SS for Charlotte? Seems like we need to call up a new backup... or another trade You almost have too. Makes zero sense to bring up Morel like somebody said earlier...you need a backup SS. Rather not throw Gordo over there...
July 29, 201213 yr QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 28, 2012 -> 10:14 PM) Why do people think a starting pitcher will get traded from the Sox now? We all know Sale will be skipped a lot the rest of the way, and you have a lot of question marks in Floyd/Humber/Q. Had a brain lapse. So now it goes Sale-Peavy-Quintana-Floyd-Liriano-Humber the rest of the way? I like.
July 29, 201213 yr KW telling everyone on this board to STFU. 3 amazing trades, Big Donkey and Peavy coming into form, Rios bouncing back. The guy may have known what he was doing. Where's greg?

July 29, 201213 yr QUOTE (Marty34 @ Jul 28, 2012 -> 10:17 PM) After seeing him pitch against the Sox I'm not sure Liriano is the answer, but after Greinke he was my second choice and the price was right. i rather get liriano for nothing that we'll have next year instead of greinke who would have cost reed and who knows who else. still shocked thats all we gave up
