July 29, 201312 yr QUOTE (Knackattack @ Jul 28, 2013 -> 08:21 PM) They are probably flipping hector or Jose for hitters in the offseason Could be that just asking for depth. Because if Peavy is the only one that is traded. Every hitter is under contract other than Konerko. Maybe Hahn depending on free agency?
July 29, 201312 yr QUOTE (Jake @ Jul 28, 2013 -> 08:22 PM) Must be, it's a very odd strategy. Seems to be a bit more risk than just getting the hitters now Maybe not. Starting pitching prospects are the best chips in the game. As far as I'm concerned Hahn has until about March 30th 2014. Does Erik Johnson and say Martinez from stl get you a guy like Stanton this winter? You're at least at the table.
July 29, 201312 yr I like Jake and do think he is a great pitcher, but I just feel like his bark is greater than his bite. Throughout his career he has not performed well in big games, yet everyone wants him on the mound in crunch time because he is "competitive". Injuries are bad luck, but considering his salary I would say his tenure with the Sox has been a wash due to all the missed time. It is great that he always gives 110%, unlike some (Rios), but I'm sure a guy like Axelrod does too, yet he doesn't have a fan club.

July 29, 201312 yr QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Jul 28, 2013 -> 08:02 PM) I must be the only one on Soxtalk who isn't enamored with Peavy. I really want him to be traded before he gets hurt again. I was pumped when KW acquired him but he never has lived up to expectations.
July 29, 201312 yr QUOTE (oldsox @ Jul 28, 2013 -> 08:33 PM) Anyone familiar with Oakland's farm system? Russell, Choice, Gray and Ynoa are the only ones worth discussing.

Not gonna get Stanton with Johnson and Martinez, will take a Kings ransom and Sox do not have the horses to get it done. Edited July 29, 201312 yr by Soxfest

July 29, 201312 yr Royals no longer sellers The Royals will not be sellers at the deadline, Yahoo! Sports' Jeff Passan tweets Per MLBTR This is good news obviously. Takes another "frontline" starter off the market in Santana. I don't believe this nonsense about other teams backing off. They are testing Ricky boy. This is his first deadline and all eyes are on him to get a great package back. The FO knows the need to get impact players back that generates excitement for us fans. If we are trading away JP and others they need to make sure it doesn't hurt attendance. We just have to have patients Hahn is winning the staredown for now. Not to mention we need to get back a package as good or better than the Flubs got, it would be an epic failure if we dont for a contorlled pitcher like jake. He knows he has the cards and is playing them right. We have till Wednesday and although it sucks to wait for us. It only creates more leverage for us regardless of what the writers are saying. We don't have to move our guys, the teams interested need the players in order to make a Pennet run and a October run. I have a feeling by Wednesday we will all be praising Hahn for waiting it out.

July 29, 201312 yr QUOTE (SoxPride18 @ Jul 28, 2013 -> 09:36 PM) You want Peavy to stay or what? I dont want him to give into the demands of other GMs and settle for their price. He isnt a rental. We have him under control next year. Wait until winter then to start up trade talks.
