July 16, 201312 yr QUOTE (SoxPride18 @ Jul 16, 2013 -> 02:25 PM) Hitting wise, none of their prospects interest me except Dahl. And I doubt they trade him.for Crain I like Trevor Story an awful lot. Don't think he can be had for Crain though.
July 16, 201312 yr QUOTE (Y2JImmy0 @ Jul 16, 2013 -> 02:36 PM) I like Trevor Story an awful lot. Don't think he can be had for Crain though. He's hitting 217 and strikes out around 40% of the time. I would go after Kyle Parker.

July 16, 201312 yr Corey Dickerson looks rather intriguing if they're gonna trade Rios and or move Tank to 1B next year. He's their 15th ranked prospect but I suspect after putting up the numbers he has in AAA (.383/.426/.659) that that ranking will go up considerably if he doesn't lose his prospect eligibility....and the the chances of us getting him for Crain may have gone down considerably.

July 16, 201312 yr Rockies system isn't that good. So even if Dickerson was there and not having the type of season he is right now, Crain is much more valuable than that

I agree, a Crain for Parker trade would be awesome. Parker can be a young guy to build the team around and play RF next year if Rios is traded. I don't think he is a stud prospect, but a guy who can possibly put up a .250 BA and .350 OBP, knock out 20-25 homers, and drive in 75 plus every year while playing above average D (although he might wind up in LF if he gets any slower). Worst case scenario, we would at least have a QB to throw the rock around to Mitchell, Hawkins, and Jacobs. I really think with the right QB (I'm not sure Dunn can cut it as a QB anymore), the White Sox would run away with the championship in a MLB 7 on 7 league.

These next couple of weeks are going to be.very interesting now that everyone is getting healthy and hopefully (knock on wood) stays healthy.

So pretty much Dayan's floor? Who everyone around here is ready to give up on.

July 17, 201312 yr One place I'd like to see Crain land is Boston. If they could get AA prospect Garin Cecchini. He tore up the SAL and CAR leagues so the Sox would be familiar with him. His LH bat, hitting for avg. and OBP, is one to build around. Not sure if Crain would be enough though.

Crain wouldn't be remotely close to enough. Cecchini is a top 10 prospect in all of baseball.

Cecchini is a top 10 prospect in all of baseball. with Middlebrooks ahead of him, and Boston in a position to win another World Series, it's about what Boston would need in return. Target who you want in terms of prospects, such as Cecchini, and see if common ground is there for a trade.

Target who you want in terms of prospects, such as Cecchini, and see if common ground is there for a trade. Middlebrooks was sort of a fluky story last year. There's no way Middlebrooks is actually ahead of him. He might get a crack at taking the job back, but they will have no second thoughts about dealing him.

He might get a crack at taking the job back, but they will have no second thoughts about dealing him. Middlebrooks has been hurt this year. Going into 2012, he was the Red Sox #1 Prospect and #56 overall. If the Red Sox made him available this deadline I'd take a flyer on him returning to form.
July 19, 201312 yr Andrew Bailey is out for the season for the BoSox with a torn labrum. Crain & Lindstrom's price just went up for the Red Sox. They desperately need some bullpen help.
July 19, 201312 yr Andrew Bailey needs shoulder surgery. Out for season. A healthy Crain is definitely needed in Boston

I just read a tweet, forgot from who, that RV said that Crain will go on a rehab assignment before coming back to the big club.
