Sooooo... The Braves need a CF, do they? The Sox seem have one on the bench that they could part with cheaply...

Trade him to the Yankees this weekend while he still has high value.

Probably arguing over who wants to pay the 42 mil still owed to Rios in his contract.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jul 29, 2011 -> 03:45 PM) That seems like a very different scenario. One who is a veteran with a history of success, one who is being unceremoniously cut and trying to resuscitate his career. They're both overpaid, past their prime, possession receivers.

I'd trade Danks for a pile of prospects and a fill-in SP in a second. Buehrle - Peavy - Floyd - Humber is a good enough rotation in a 5 or 7 game playoff series.

The eventual acquisition of Roy Williams reminds me too much of Muhsin Muhammed but with a bad attitude.

Clausen's learning curve has always been slow. Plus Carolina's O-Line was no prize. If he gets playing time, he'll be pretty good in 2 more seasons.

I wonder if Philly would take the Rios/Thornton package for something better than Milwaukee offers.

Carimi better perform this year or the Bears are in deep.

Beckham is .260 12 HR 60 RBI with above average D at 2B. He's no Weeks, though. I'd have asked for Lilli if I was Milwaukee. He's more versatile. CF/RF/LF/2B/SS in a pinch

Hate to see Escobar go. Gamel could be 1st/3rd guy replacing Teahen's former job, imo.

Children of the '80s will get this reference to your subtitle. "...and knowing is half the battle!"

Step 1: Trade Away Jackson and Teahen for a MR and borderline SP prospect Step 2: ??? Step 3: Profit!

I started a fantasy league if anyone's interested. http://www.soxtalk.com/forums/index.php?s=...t&p=2441582

I updated the draft to 8pm CDT August 21.

Out. The GM has no clue on how to trade.

http://football.fantasysports.yahoo.com/f1...select?.scrumb= ID: 197860 PW: soxtalk It's autodraft for now, but will be live draft when we fill the league.

...and missed connections. "You were sitting there alone when I saw you. I'm a white male, you were the sturdy arts and crafts style table..."

As an aside... it's pretty cool to see Terry Gilliam and Ray Harryhausen there.
