Rockies would salivate over Danks, and they have several players who would really help the White Sox. I would love to see a big trade between these two teams, given that they have the worst GM's in MLB. This is the only way Kenny would have a level playing field in trade discussions.

All the blogs on the Rockies list Danks at the the top of their wish list. I wonder which GM will start the ball rolling....Rockies need a solid SP to be ready to win in 2012. Of course, they also need a third baseman, a second baseman, a first baseman under 35.. Still, they have a lot to offer in a trade.

I remember Jack Brickhouse telling the story that, during Minie's rookie year, he slid into third with a triple, and gobs of cash came out of his pockets. He had not gotten a bank account yet and didn't trust the clubhouse.

I still remember as a kid when Minoso broke in with the Sox. A thrill a minute, or so I thought then. I still use forms of his name on passwords.

I first heard a few weeks ago that the Rangers re-play that fight routinely before all home games, even though the event happened many years ago. They're a bunch of low class idiots to do that. I can't believe Commissioner Bud Lite allowed that to happen. Does he want more fights? I hope one of our pitchers does some serious head hunting down there.

Why would Sizemore want to play with the White Sox? So he could team with Rios and Dunn? What a pair to draw to. Way to go Kenny.

QUOTE (gatnom @ Oct 22, 2011 -> 08:09 AM) Obviously, no sane person saw Dunn having the year that he did, but he's not really wrong here. I am cynical, but not insane.

I don't mean to sound cynical but I wonder how big Kenny's entourage is. Probably a vacation for the whole family on the company tab.

Sox just cut/reassigned Cofield, among others. He had decent numbers at B'ham. Has anyone here ever seen him pitch or have a report on him?

Rockies are potential trading partner for Danks. They need a starter just like Danks and are under pressure to win. They made a busload of money in 2011 and can afford it. They offered to take on Wandy Rodriguez from Houston at $12 Million salary, but the Astros pulled him off waiver list. Danks is even better than anyone named Wandy. Rockettes have several really good prospects plus a pretty good outfielder in Seth Smith who would be available.

Adam Dunn will eat him.

Does anyone know who we chopped off the 40 Man Roster?

QUOTE (IowaSoxFan @ Oct 4, 2011 -> 09:07 AM) Ian Stewart is a guy that could use a change of scenery. If you are going into rebuilding he is the kind of guy you take a chance on, and if he gets it back, you can trade him for other pieces to help expediate the process of stocking the farm system. The Rockies are looking for a LF, getting Stewart as a throw in as part of a CQ trade would be a victory. Rockies are looking for starting pitching. They would overpay for someone like Danks. We could probably start with Seth Smith, a solid corner outfielder who hits .280 +, decent power, runs well, hustles. He would help the Sox. Otherwise, we trade Danks in July -- no telling what his value would be then.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Oct 3, 2011 -> 06:55 PM) guys, i think we should just relax. North probably has some quality financial advise for JR. and he also knows of a guy that Jerry can invest all of his money with. This out of towner does not get this. Please explain.

Just noticed that the Sox revised the Top Ten Prospect List. http://chicago.whitesox.mlb.com/mlb/prospects/watch/y2011/

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Oct 2, 2011 -> 08:11 AM) They are on the 40 man roster already. If they end up doing anything for the Sox it will be a bonus as they don't have to pay Ozzie in 2012. I just now looked at the 40 man roster, and, yes, both new players are on it. Who got bumped off? I remember when Lou Piniella went from Seattle Manager to Tampa Bay, the Mariners got a quality ML player -- can't think if his name. Does anybody on the board know his name?

I am underwhelmed by our two acquisitions from the Marlins. And, if we keep them, they are on the 40 Man roster, right?

Can't believe Mark Buehrle is only a Type B Free Agent. Does someone have an exxplanation?

Could be dicey if we win Wed (which means Toronto loses) and Cleveland loses. Then it depends on tiebreakers, but if we fall out of the bottom 15, Kenny figures to give away the pick.

QUOTE (Springfield SoxFan @ Sep 26, 2011 -> 09:51 PM) At least at this point, it looks like the pick is protected if KW signs some free agent....... Correct. Right now we are # 14 going into Tuesday's action. If we win the last two, Kenny might yet have a chance to get rid of it. Just read the Moneyball article in SI; Boston and Epstein a bit ahead of the curve, and they stockpiled draft choices, whereas Kenny gives them away for guys like Dunn.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Sep 26, 2011 -> 02:12 PM) Kevin_Goldstein Kevin Goldstein RT @ben_lindbergh: If Adam Dunn avoids getting 11 PA in last 3 G, he'll escape inclusion on any lists of worst seasons ever w/min. 500 PA. As Kenny says, "You don't get much for $56,000,000 and a #1 draft choice anymore."

Buddy Bell's last managerial gig was with Rockies. Not successful. Is he younger than Jack McKeon?

Kenny is already trying to figure out how to get rid of the pick.

Kenny should have his judgment checked.
