QUOTE (greg775 @ Sep 2, 2010 -> 01:56 PM) What do you mean? We're still going to play 2 Saturday against Boston. And that will be a must win DH or at least a must-split DH. If we win one and Minnie wins one that would do us not a bit of good that day. I have heard the weather was so bad that we may not even be able to get all 3 games in.

QUOTE (Cali @ Sep 2, 2010 -> 12:32 PM) He'll have to pay off Jeff Cox haha Lol, good point. Maybe #6 then.

Good, I would rather not have to play Boston. Save them for game 162 if we need to play it.

QUOTE (Cali @ Sep 2, 2010 -> 11:57 AM) I'm gonna guess he gets 22.... Hopefully not being cursed like Josh Fields haha I'm going to go ahead and say he takes #8.

Just trade Danks and Quentin to the Mets for Jason Bay + cash.

QUOTE (coco1997 @ Sep 2, 2010 -> 08:20 AM) Per Facebook: Brent Morel Just got called up.. Flying to Boston to meet the team for a 3 game series against the red sox!! Thank you lord for this wonderful blessing.

Twins get 6 hits, and they win the game. LOL. f***ing Tigers are so s***ty, and of NO HELP.

Well, Tiggers scored in the 8th and tied it at 1-1. Game is now in the bottom of the 10. Cuddyer, Young, and Valencia coming up. Thome has already pinch hit, and was replaced. Unfortunately, Scherezer was just replaced after pitching 9 innings of 1-run ball, 4 hits, and 9 K.

QUOTE (Wanne @ Sep 1, 2010 -> 08:46 PM) I think that's a very fair deal...especially for somebody who's having a MVP year. It's not like he's already 36 or something. Either way...the Sox cannot afford to lose PK next year and expect to win. Well, he will be 35 before the season starts next year.

QUOTE (danman31 @ Sep 1, 2010 -> 09:23 PM) Considering he is in the AFL, I'd bet the promotion was so he could be in that. Each team is allowed only one player below AA level and that spot is obviously going to Jared Mitchell. Yea, but it's not like Leesman was just promoted to AA this week. He has been there for over a month, and has been fantastic.

Leesman continues to confuse me with his stats this year..... Axelrod with another nice start.... Morel goes 2/4, AVG up to .320. YAWN. Phegley goes 1/3.

Blue Jays High-A ball team, the Dunedin Blue Jays, are being no-hit through 13 innings right now.....0-0 in the 13th inning. LOL.

QUOTE (Soxbadger @ Sep 1, 2010 -> 08:11 PM) I guess I would prefer none of the Sox players "break down". If the Sox have 5 great starters next year Sale could really help the pen. Otherwise expect sale to be in the minors. I would say there is about a 10% chance Sale is in our bullpen next year. It would be a real waste to not stretch him out for a future starting job.

Charles Leesman continues to be one of the weirdest pitchers in our system. He pitched in High-A earlier in the year, pitched AWFUL. I am talking an ERA over 5, a WHIP of almost 1.50, and more walks than K's (44 BB to 39 K). Somehow he gets a promotion to AA Birmingham, and he has dominated. Makes no sense, but I have heard that our AA pitching coach is very good and there is thoughts we promoted him simple to see if our AA can fix him. Apparently, he did.... 58 IP, 42 H, 1 HR, 19 BB, 45 K. 2.81 ERA. He has cut his ERA by about 40%, his H/9 about 25%, his HRs by like 60%, his BB/9 by about 40%, and increased his K/9 by about 50%. Pretty cool, and at 23 years old in AA, he is right where he should be.

LOL, Manny is flying his barber out to Boston to cut his hair before the game on Friday.... http://sports.espn.go.com/chicago/mlb/news/story?id=5521211

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Sep 1, 2010 -> 07:06 PM) So you keep him out of sentimental value? I trade Buehrle LONG before I trade Danks, simply because Danks is a much better value even at 7M than Buehrle is at 14M. He's my favorite Sox player and I would be sad to see him go, but understand. Do you think Buehrle is worth twice the money of John Danks? .... QUOTE (JoeCoolMan24 @ Sep 1, 2010 -> 06:58 PM) I heard Danks may make as much as around $7-8M in ARB. I think he is the best option to trade, mainly because he will get more value than Buehrle, and Buehrle is such an icon for this team that it would piss a LOT of people off.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Sep 1, 2010 -> 06:55 PM) And thats not because of Danks and Floyd, keep that in mind. Its how top heavy the rotation is on price. Ideally, you deal Buehrle because you cant move Peavy. Floyd makes I believe 3.5, Danks should get 5+ and Jackson is at 8. I heard Danks may make as much as around $7-8M in ARB. I think he is the best option to trade, mainly because he will get more value than Buehrle, and Buehrle is such an icon for this team that it would piss a LOT of people off.

QUOTE (BearingPro @ Sep 1, 2010 -> 06:53 PM) Why??? I would think he would start in AA. Better competition there.

QUOTE (knightni @ Sep 1, 2010 -> 06:47 PM) Freddy's probably gone and Sale will probably start in AAA. Well obviously if we don't trade a starter, but I would not be opposed to it. We have one of the most expensive rotations in baseball with Peavy, Buehrle, Jackson, Danks, and Floyd. I wouldn't mind trading either Danks or Floyd to relieve some money and sliding Sale into the rotation, or Freddy on the cheap while Sale stretched out in AA.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Sep 1, 2010 -> 05:52 PM) Trading Danks would be dumb as f***, especially since we have control over him cheaply for another 2 years. I repeat, dumb as f***. He is going to be expensive through arbitration, and we have potentially 7 starters next year (if you include Freddy).

Fun little fact.... Chris Sale is only the 4th pitcher in major league history to record a save in the same year he was drafted.

QUOTE (michelangelosmonkey @ Sep 1, 2010 -> 03:52 PM) Where is the link to his torn labrum...I googled it and it only refers to Soxtalk and forums that got it from Sox talk. Seems as if Soxtalk got it from his face book page? Yes, I think I broke the new *swish* after I talked to him for a little bit. lol.

QUOTE (Quinarvy @ Sep 1, 2010 -> 04:44 PM) At this point, I'm offering Paulie this: Year 1: $12M Year 2: $10M Year 3: $9M/Team Option Year 4: $8M/Player Option He's just so good when healthy and if Dayan takes over at 1B next year, Paulie will be able to DH and stay even healthier. 4 year deal? Yikes. I would offer 2 years/21M, but someone like the Red Sox will offer him 3 years/38M, and I bet he would take that.

Yeah, I really think Kenny is going to be shopping Danks all off-season, and hopefully for a legit OF.
