July 25, 201312 yr QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Jul 24, 2013 -> 07:33 PM) That won't happen until next summer. But it will happen as their rebuild goes into its second phase.
July 25, 201312 yr Santana has been very inconsistent in his career, and this year he is pitching in a pitchers ballpark. And one poster said something about money, I believe Peavy is only making 2 million more than Santana if I'm not mistaken.

Rios and Rangers. If Middlebrooks is involved, the White Sox better be getting someone like Owens as well.
July 25, 201312 yr I'd like to have Middlebrooks. I don't know if I can say with certainty how much of the talent of a deal he should comprise, but we should get some guys like him.

July 25, 201312 yr QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 24, 2013 -> 06:45 PM) He's basically the anti-Cecchini He plays good defense and hits for good avg and power iirc? Or was he all red sox hype?
July 25, 201312 yr QUOTE (Knackattack @ Jul 24, 2013 -> 08:46 PM) He plays good defense and hits for good avg and power iirc? Or was he all red sox hype? Hype. He went back down to AAA earlier this year an is batting .263 with 7 home runs an 28 RBIs in 118 ABs
July 25, 201312 yr QUOTE (BigHurt3515 @ Jul 25, 2013 -> 02:47 AM) Hype. He went back down to AAA earlier this year an is batting .263 with 7 home runs an 28 RBIs in 118 ABs He has 30 home run power, but seems to really struggle making contact
July 25, 201312 yr QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 24, 2013 -> 08:48 PM) He has 30 home run power, but seems to really struggle making contact Or take a walk.
July 25, 201312 yr QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 24, 2013 -> 08:48 PM) He has 30 home run power, but seems to really struggle making contact I think he gets a lot of hype for the stretch he went through last year.
July 25, 201312 yr I'm not in love with Middlebrooks by any means, but if they're going to sell low on a talent like that, I'm happy to see if he can pan out around here. I'm not sure how much other talent I'm sacrificing to roll that dice, but in theory I'm all for it.

I'm not sure how much other talent I'm sacrificing to roll that dice, but in theory I'm all for it. I'd have zero problem putting middlebrooks out there sharing time with Gillaspie and seeing who earns the spot, but man, I don't think I'd take him back for anything of value. I'd take him back for something like Danks, but I'd rater even get a solid a-ballet for Crain. You can always find guys like middlebrooks who are remote chances/recovery chances. He'll in a yet we might dump Viciedo for a guy like that.

July 25, 201312 yr QUOTE (southsideirish71 @ Jul 24, 2013 -> 09:56 PM) Picking up middlebrooks fits the former gm's MO. Lots of power, lots of strikeouts, good chance he won't pan out? Yeah, it does remind me of Flowers now that you say it.
July 25, 201312 yr QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 24, 2013 -> 09:56 PM) I'd absolutely love Crain for Middlebrooks I'd hate that. That's just asking for failure.
July 25, 201312 yr Would Middlebrooks, Ranaudo, and Brentz be enough in people's eyes as a return for Peavy?

July 25, 201312 yr Looks like Tim Hudson is out for the year (and career?). Have the Braves just entered the Peavy sweepstakes?
July 25, 201312 yr QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 24, 2013 -> 09:59 PM) He accomplished more last year in the majors than Flowers could dream of. So did Shelton that one April (that was his name right?) a 200 at bat stint where you outperform everything you've ever done doesn't tell me much. Flowers has had better minor league seasons than him.
