July 31, 201312 yr QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jul 30, 2013 -> 07:56 PM) There should be plenty of questions about whether Middlebrooks can stick in the bigs. There are questions about both. But if I had to choose I'd pick the dude who has defensive acumen and has actually hit in the majors. I'm not sure I want either though.
July 31, 201312 yr If we get Owings and Middlebrooks or Davidson plus a lower prospect, I will go to bed very happy tonight.
July 31, 201312 yr QUOTE (Wanne @ Jul 30, 2013 -> 07:56 PM) that's not the point...it's a plus add-in. why do you think they're trying to move him...peavy's spot + money. Watching him pitch right now saying "i'd take him...." I think what we're seeing is that Kennedy can turn into some caliber of prospect(s) for the D'Backs so they don't want to just throw him into a deal for us when they can get actual value for him from someone else. In this case, they're going to turn that value into something we want (prospects)
July 31, 201312 yr QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Jul 30, 2013 -> 07:59 PM) The Angels top prospect currently has .587 OPS. The Angels farm system is awful currently.
July 31, 201312 yr QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Jul 31, 2013 -> 12:59 AM) The Angels top prospect currently has .587 OPS. Yep, I can't imagine them giving up much in the deal besides taking on Kennedy's contract.
July 31, 201312 yr QUOTE (GreenSox @ Jul 30, 2013 -> 06:08 PM) I'd prefer to deal with St Louis. Sox were too tight with Az and too many deals turned out unfavorable for us. So now Quentin for Chris Carter was bad because of Carter's 2013 season for HOU? In other news, Pujols is out for the season with plantar fasciitis. Talk about albatross contracts.

July 31, 201312 yr Ben Badler @BenBadler 15s In Triple-A, the Red Sox just pinch-hit for Jackie Bradley in the sixth inning. #Hugs? Expand Has to be Cliff Lee if anything right?

July 31, 201312 yr Gordon Edes @GordonEdes 10s If there is a trade going down involving Bradley, it's not for Peavy, source says Expand

July 31, 201312 yr QUOTE (Frank_Thomas35 @ Jul 30, 2013 -> 08:07 PM) Bradley and Cechini would be awesome as a starter for PV and Lindstrom. Way too much.

Expand Has to be Cliff Lee if anything right? How the hell can they talk about Cliff Lee with THAT CONTRACT bringing back guys like Bradley and Bogaerts and yet we're trading Peavy and sending millions the other way????
July 31, 201312 yr QUOTE (Frank_Thomas35 @ Jul 30, 2013 -> 08:07 PM) Bradley and Cechini would be awesome as a starter for PV and Lindstrom. Or would Bradley added on to a Middlebrooks make Middlebrooks more attractive to those who don't want him?
July 31, 201312 yr Owings and Davidson have huge stat inflation because of the PCL. Owings has an awful K:BB ratio.
July 31, 201312 yr QUOTE (Frank_Thomas35 @ Jul 30, 2013 -> 07:08 PM) Or would Bradley added on to a Middlebrooks make Middlebrooks more attractive to those who don't want him? You don't trade Middlebrooks at his lowest value unless you find a team who desperately believes he's their long-term answer at 3B.
July 31, 201312 yr Alex Speier @alexspeier 1m Jackie Bradley Jr. has been replaced by pinch-hitter Justin Henry in Pawtucket, but industry source says no trade involving him is imminent Retweeted by Ben Badler Expand
July 31, 201312 yr Jeff Passan @JeffPassan 17s Jackie Bradley Jr. and Anthony Ranaudo pulled from minor league games, according to @jtomase and others. Red Sox may be up to something big. Expand Has to be Lee.
