July 28, 201312 yr QUOTE (BigHurt3515 @ Jul 28, 2013 -> 12:21 PM) With the way some of our middle infielders have played in the minors I would rather get Adams instead of Wong. Probably take out Martinez then.

Peavy brought extra bags on trip in case, per @JJStankevitz. If the Cards package of Wong, Martinez, and Kelly is true what would Oakland be offering to top that? Sonny Gray, Ynoa and what else? I'm just not a big fan of their position players in the minors with the exception of Russell.

Thought this was interesting. @DanHayesCSN: #WhiteSox source has Oakland #Athletics in front of Jake Peavy sweepstakes. Peavy brought extra bags on trip in case, per @JJStankevitz. I wonder if this has anything to do with Colon and Biogenesis. Peavy would definitely upgrade Oakland's already great rotation. I think Oakland has a pretty good chance at winning the division, so that would be nice for Jake as well.

If the beat writer has that information at this juncture, he is supposed to have that at this juncture if you know what I mean. Driving up the price. When the Sox acquired Jake Peavy the first time I was at Bears Camp when news broke. I am heading to Bourbonnais tomorrow so we should have a deal by tomorrow, boys.

I believe those were rumored names, not a rumored package, otherwise Hahn should have taken that immediately.
July 28, 201312 yr As an aside, I think we can accurately surmise that Hahn is in fact GM. If KW were still making the calls he wouldn't have had the patience to wait this long.
July 28, 201312 yr I'd be interested in Choice and Russell as position players. That's about it from the A's though.

July 28, 201312 yr Bruce Levine sez Peavy brought 5 full suit cases on trip and feels today is the last day for Peavy with the Sox.

Thanks for sharing some interesing info! I would rather Jakemeister go to NL
July 28, 201312 yr QUOTE (103 mph screwball @ Jul 28, 2013 -> 01:42 PM) I would rather Jakemeister go to NL Bah, if we're in aposition next year where we're fighting against the team we traded peavy to for a playoffs spot...I'll be thrilled because we're fighting for a playoff spot and the 2013 on-the-field-bullcrap stopped.
July 28, 201312 yr Maybe it's because I'm a Gordon Beckham fan and hope what we have seen from him this year is what we'll get consistently for the future butttt....I'm not a fan of Wong being the offensive player we get back. Yes he's showed more power this year in the minors than Gordo but I think once that wrist fully heals those 2 guys will be pretty much the same player. Martinez and Kelly though I'm intrigued by. I don't necessarily think the Sox need to add pitching at all but it could certainly open up future trades to improve the team.

Although Semien has been playing 3B lately Who gives a f*** about those guys? Not trying to be a naysayer, but one in the hand is worth two in the bush. If those guys look like MLB ready players, those are good problems. Don't skip out on a good player because you think a couple 22 year olds in A+ and AA might be ready in a year. I say this as someone that really likes Marcus Semien. Get all the potential MLB guys that you can and figure out the rest later.

It's also going to be wrong to assume that every guy we get in these trades will pan out as well. You should assume that at least 1, if not more of them, will bust. Same thing with the guys we have.
