QUOTE (mataipaepae @ Jul 30, 2011 -> 01:20 PM) i don't think prado plays over chipper at 3rd. but he plays every day. that i guarantee you.

QUOTE (mataipaepae @ Jul 30, 2011 -> 12:17 PM) you know the good thing right now is that we are winning and are in no rush to move carlos. so it will be up to the braves to get nervous and make a move to improve, thus giving up more than what they would originally want to. it's not like they have the wild card locked up. the cardinals are only 5 games back and they just shored up their pitching both starters and bullpen. the pirates are only 6 games back and you never know. and the diamond backs are only 4 games back. this might put pressure on atlanta to do something. so lets say they really feel they need carlos lets throw matt thornton in there too. in return we get. brandon beachy RHP, carlos perez LHP a 19 year kid that has 3 + pitches, eward salcedo SS/3B lets put in AA and get him playing 3B to be the future there. kid has outstanding bat speed that with maturity homeruns will come even more, jordan shaffer CF they are real happy with him. lets get him and put him at AAA for the rest of the year. i know he is DL right now but take him anyway. he adds to our farm team for this year and is a kid that could produce at the top of the lineup next year. i know this is alot but like i said, the braves could panick some and give it up. here are the braves top 10 prospects perez and salcedo are #5 and 6. then beachy and shaffer are kids that could help now or as soon as next year. you're suggesting they'd give us Beachy, Perez, Salcedo AND Schafer? you're nuts.

QUOTE (iamshack @ Jul 30, 2011 -> 11:35 AM) I could live with trading these two guys if we did get 3 or 4 of their top 10 prospects, because I honestly believe we could still win without Quentin or Thornton, assuming Viciedo's thumb heals well. You know Kenny would want someone that could contribute now, however. My guess is he would want Reddick back. i want reddick's bat. hot damn

QUOTE (flavum @ Jul 30, 2011 -> 11:34 AM) Man, I want them to get overwhelmed. ugh me too.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Jul 29, 2011 -> 08:13 PM) She was cute in "Monte Carlo" at least. I'd still take the more sophisticated Emily Blunt. that's a completely different ball field. we're talking about tweenagers here...

QUOTE (DirtySox @ Jul 29, 2011 -> 07:24 PM) Source? old news? i dunno back in the thread a number of pages - you can find it on mlbtraderumors too if you care to look.

QUOTE (South Side Fireworks Man @ Jul 29, 2011 -> 08:21 PM) Wasn't it reported a day or two ago that Ludwick was their number one target? yep

QUOTE (kapzk @ Jul 29, 2011 -> 08:15 PM) BREAKING NEWS SI_JonHeyman confirmed pence goes to philly for singleton, cosart, 2 PTBNL. so now Quentin left to Atlanta I guess? or Ludwick and we're f***ed.

QUOTE (Unknown @ Jul 28, 2011 -> 02:34 PM) How many times is this quote going to be posted in this thread?

QUOTE (SoxFan1 @ Jul 28, 2011 -> 02:26 PM) The Braves are "hot" for White Sox right fielder Carlos Quentin, and the Sox love Atlanta's young arms. does anyone else read this and imagine one of those phone sex commercial girls saying it?

this is the worst thing i've ever heard.

QUOTE (Harry Chappas @ Jul 26, 2011 -> 09:35 PM) then there should be an all out firesale as this season is toast with peavy and humber unable to go more than 5 innings really? really? humber has been our best starter by far. if there's one person who can escape criticism - it should be him

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 26, 2011 -> 07:18 PM) If KW is unloading guys, he better pray for an L tonight there ya go.

QUOTE (The Ginger Kid @ Jul 26, 2011 -> 04:39 PM) wake me when they honor the World Series MVP ...

i'm out on us winning the division, big IN for making some good trades and restocking with a so-called youth movement. if we happen to win doing that, awesome. if not, we're not screwing ourselves for the future.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jul 25, 2011 -> 08:38 AM) Why is he having a sophomore slump in his 3rd full MLB season? haha touche. i had my dates wrong. in any case - like was said above, his walk rate is really solid - last year, and the first chunk of this year, showed the potential this kid has. and yeah of course at this point it's still just potential, but again - if you can get ELITE potential while dealing a FA-to be pitcher and a 35 year old rp and ONE prospect that isn't named Viciedo... sigh. this is just going to go around and around and around because for some reason a bunch of y'all don't agree that that's a great deal for us.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jul 25, 2011 -> 08:32 AM) Why does it seem no one is nervous about the step back Rasmus has taken this year? Serious question? Are we just expecting him to return to form the moment he hits Chicago? almost EVERY young player has a sophomore slump. almost. every. single. one.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Jul 24, 2011 -> 09:42 PM) Yes because his manager hates him. You ever heard of the Rios situation? It could be the same thing. So don't overpay for him. His stats this year are pretty ordinary to lousy. By this logic, maybe we should deal Beckham for some amazing prospects cause he's young and has potential too. This is the same manager who didn't call up Rasmus in 09 when rosters expanded even though he'd hit .330 over the previous couple months in the minors, calling out the kid in the media saying he wasn't ready. LaRussa can be a dick.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Jul 24, 2011 -> 09:26 PM) No offense, but please educate me on why we'd overpay for Colby. He is hitting ... 241 with nine homers and 36 ribbies, five stolen bases 57 runs scored. He's been caught stealing twice. His onbase percentage is .327. He has 43 walks and 73 Ks. Last year he hit 23 homers but struck out a ton. I mean he's an OK prospect but not to overpay for, even if Edwin is leaving anyway. I say make it a straight up deal, baby, or no deal at all. Edwin for Rasmus. Or Matt for Rasmus. Why overpay? Seriously? Discuss Colby the player when you are salivating over getting him, please. He is a first round draft pick, which is prolly why St. Louis will demand a clear cut victory in any trade. he's 24, was the #3 prospect in the NL going into last year. That's not an accident. His OPS last season was .859. you seriously think you can get him for a 2 month rent-a-player in Jackson, or a 35 year old reliever. you REALLY think that? you don't understand baseball if that's the case.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jul 24, 2011 -> 08:57 PM) At least you are consistent. All I have heard is how we have no chance this year, yet people are b****ing about this deal hurting us this year... Seriously? like.

QUOTE (kitekrazy @ Jul 24, 2011 -> 08:54 PM) I don't get why so many are anxious to trade two pitchers who are making plenty of appearances for a young CF who has lost his starting job? Young guys don't seem to blossom here unless Coop can fix him. I guess Mental Midget Island still has some more openings. veterans don't either. NO hitters blossom here. hmm... i wonder what common denominator there might be.......

QUOTE (SoxAce @ Jul 24, 2011 -> 08:51 PM) Linebrink's lowest WHIP over those "elite" years was 1.036. That would have been Thornton's 3rd best since he's been here. And you know damn well Nathan was a stud before injury. Of course he won't be the same. 27 year old Broxton has one off year this year and all of a sudden he's s***? Wilson only had one meh year which was 08 and was solid in 07 (albeit only 24 games), 09-11. The rest was more or less had a career year. Your right relievers are unpredictable (as if anyone didn't know that) but you know which guys are the true elite when they've had the better history of doing it (unless your an insane freak like Mariano which in one year [07] had that 1.121 WHIP year. Just terrible. Should of retired). ok - and based on your standards, brian wilson STILL isn't elite. Wanna know his WHIPs? 08 - 1.44 09 - 1.20 10 - 1.18 11 - 1.41 uh oh...

QUOTE (iamshack @ Jul 24, 2011 -> 08:41 PM) Matt has a 95 mph fastball in a mostly PED-free league coming from the left side. Check out guys like that....they usually pitch as long as they want to. at the end of the day, guarantee we don't trade Reed AND Thornton, thus... we're fine if one of 'em goes.
