QUOTE (smalls2598 @ Dec 3, 2008 -> 08:57 AM) I believe Peavy has a no trade clause, but has listed 5 teams he would accept a trade to, with the Sox not being one of them. Plus i recall reading that if he gets traded, he prefers to stay in the NL because he likes not being hit. Fixed that to disclose his unstated, true reasoning.

Well, hell, AJ can't block balls in the dirt or throw anyone out... We're not going to lose any defense switching to Flowers in two years!

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Dec 3, 2008 -> 09:03 AM) You've seen his career splits, LH and RH, yes? He would be acceptable as part of a platoon, but probably not as an everyday player. Of course, the same was said of Alexei Ramirez, too, before 2008. Maybe, just maybe, he'll finally unlock his long overhyped potential with the Sox. Who knows...? Betemit vs righties, Fields vs lefties could wind up being a potentially deadly, powerful platoon. That doesn't play defense...

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Dec 3, 2008 -> 08:49 AM) That leaves us Betemit/Viciedo as the starters...not sure that's such a good idea. Not to mention we already bought high and sold fairly low on Swisher, we should probably hold on for at least Spring Training and see what he can do and whether it would be wise to trade him or not. He might be SOMEWHAT in Ozzie's doghouse, but not like Swisher, Logan and Vazquez were. I wonder if a BA trade is next, lol? I'd rather see Betemit starting than Josh Fields. Seriously.

KW is like an OOTP GM. Now if the Sox could just trade Josh Fields so I don't have to think about that f***up anymore, my offseason will be starting very very well.

QUOTE (RudyLawRules @ Dec 3, 2008 -> 08:30 AM) Hmmm..are they disappointed in getting Javy or giving up the prospects? http://www.ajc.com/braves/content/sports/braves/index.html I voted yes.

QUOTE (scenario @ Dec 2, 2008 -> 11:37 PM) I think it's more that it gives him > than 1 path to get to MLB... A problem he was probably sensitive to, being blocked as a catcher in the Atlanta organization. I love it.

Can someone PLEASE tell me what we got back (or the latest solid rumor)?

If we get Flowers, that's incredible. We need a catching spect in our system, and word has it the Padres are wet for him so it could possibly be used to land Peavy if we so desired.

Actually, the Daze is intriguing.

Holy crap! An Adrian Aucoin Blackhawks jersey shirt for only $14.99!!

QUOTE (kjshoe04 @ Dec 2, 2008 -> 04:36 PM) True The person below me thinks that make me pathetic. Since you're posting here, and it's a Tuesday, and I think you're in college, I'll go with false. The person below me wants this hot stove season to heat up.

Pat and Kevin Williams, among others, have been suspended for the rest of the season. One week too late, but this seriously helps the Bears.

That's clutch.

wooden floors = leave em on

QUOTE (HeGone33 @ Dec 2, 2008 -> 09:46 AM) 2K9 is ridiculous, especially the ability Rose has on the game. That's the only game I will miss on the 360. Has anyone played MLB Power Pros 2008 for the Wii?

QUOTE (FlaSoxxJim @ Dec 2, 2008 -> 09:16 AM) False. I'll be eating canned chicken cold from the ca n at my desk. Am I living the High Life? The person below me will be having a considerably more satisfying lunch than me. False. Only marginally more satisfying as it will be a Lean Cousine Cheese Pizza. Don't want to waste money going out. The person below me has already put up Christmas lights.

QUOTE (Thunderbolt @ Dec 1, 2008 -> 09:50 PM) Miller's gonna have nightmares over that cross for years to come. Move over Devin Hester. Derrek Rose YOU ARE RIDICULOUS Derrick

QUOTE (santo=dorf @ Dec 1, 2008 -> 09:53 PM) Um, actually that's the only thing that could make it a decent deal. That's also assuming the Sox use those picks to get somebody worth a damn. Out of curiosity, did our pitching struggle last year? I seem to remember Juan Uribe playing most of the year at third base... do you think our lineup would have been better with Uribe and Fields over Uribe and Cabrera? Sure, the guy wasn't great or anything, but I think last year Cabrera had more value to us than Jon Garland would have. We did win the AL Central after all.

QUOTE (Milkman delivers @ Dec 1, 2008 -> 03:50 PM) A Christmas Story should, and likely will be, #1. Pass. That movie sucks. I didn't even put it on my list.

List sent.
