QUOTE (beck72 @ Jul 28, 2011 -> 01:13 PM) A few weeks ago, people were talking about getting Brandon Beachy for Quentin from ATL. Now it seems like we'd get multiple pieces from their top 10. I trade CQ for some good young arms.

OG after the game today. "I don’t think we’re going to buy anything," Guillen said following the Sox's 2-1 win over Detroit, which came hours after the Sox saved $9.5 million through 2012 by trading pitcher Edwin Jackson and infielder Mark Teahen to Toronto for reliever Jason Frasor and pitching prospect Zach Stewart. "I think (chairman) Jerry Reinsdorf’s broke now. I still believe what we have in the offense. We don’t need to trade anybody. We just need those guys to go out and score some runs."

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Jul 27, 2011 -> 05:15 PM) And than at that point, can't they pretty much get type B compensation for him and/or excerise the option and use him for another year at a pretty fair price. The reality is to me the club is clearly looking at potentially moving some of its relievers and at the trade deadline, relievers always seem to have very steap prices. Heck, given how crappy the central is, I think if the right offers are out there to retool, you do it, knowing that in this crappy division, the club should still contend. I also highly doubt the club is going to move any of its other starters (e.g., Danks). So that means you possibly spin Quentin, Thorty, Ohman, and maybe Frasor. That should give you some solid parts while also opening up spots for Reed/Stewart/Santiago/etc. The hard part truly is replacing Quentin's production. Danks and Floyd are availiable per CBS sportsline.

Scoutingbook.com.......on Stewart. Zach Stewart Born 9/28/1986 (24 years old) RHP, TOR Already blessed with the best fastball in the Blue Jays system, ex-Red Zach Stewart is a compact righthander who's being fast-tracked to future closing duties in Toronto. That is, it looks an awful lot like that's how the Blue Jays want him to arrive. Should they change their minds, Stewart's high heat and nasty, nasty slider could also do some damage in a starting role.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Jul 27, 2011 -> 04:03 PM) Dude, there's no f***ing way. He's harder to deal than Alfonso Soriano. Way Harder.

2 of 3 but offense DOA!

Sale was awesome.

Santos time!

QUOTE (Chet Kincaid @ Jul 27, 2011 -> 03:18 PM) Have you seen those Nippon Ham Fighters? You got me!

Nice job Sale.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jul 27, 2011 -> 03:13 PM) By what standard? Minnesota's pen has more losses and a worse ERA, and given up an OPS 0.027 higher. Sox lead the WORLD in losses after leading after 6 innings and I said losses not blown saves!

Taking Miller in this deal is Horrid............WTF KW!

QUOTE (winninguglyin83 @ Jul 27, 2011 -> 01:43 PM) the good news: DeAza hits first MLB home run. The bad news: Kenny Williams just offered him a three-year extension. OG will bench him for Rios on Friday!

I do not like the deal KW is so worried about the bullpen ..............If you cannot score you never get to the bullpen. This is NOT the best deal Sox could of got for for Jackson IMO.

2 outs as usual.

QUOTE (Paulstar @ Jul 26, 2011 -> 08:23 PM) From what I've heard is they really like him in CF. Larussa like Jay alot.

Per Rotoworld USA Today's Bob Nightengale reports that the Phillies have been scouting Carlos Quentin.

Peavy talks the talk , but does not walk the walk!

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jul 26, 2011 -> 07:44 PM) If a trade was in progress, the person beig traded wouldn't be on the field tonight. Agree Rios and CQ on the field they are not involved.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 26, 2011 -> 07:26 PM) The more obvious question is: why is Dunn batting after Konerko? For 2 run bombs!

KW has no idea what he wants to do in between is the worst place to be ever!

SuperCena given the belt again so much with the new regime.....................can I puke. Punk shows up show ends.

Rios the rally killer.

QUOTE (Baron @ Jul 25, 2011 -> 08:01 PM) Ya Morel and his stellar offense to start us off Time to send Morel down until Sept 1 call-ups.

QUOTE (kapzk @ Jul 25, 2011 -> 07:57 PM) Wow wat a s*** ass team Blow this sorry ass sub .500 team up.
