QUOTE (Frank_Thomas35 @ Jun 23, 2012 -> 10:16 PM) The longer this goes on the more I feel like it ain't happening. It's dragged on for basically two days with people reporting us being very interested. When KW makes a move he pounces before any really has a chance to break it. I have a feeling we are being used as leverage in the media and in reality we may not be all that interested. All the Red Sox are trying to do right now is move him to an NL team. We'll find out shortly if one actually wants Youkillis.

Pete Abraham ‏@PeteAbe Youkilis update: Indians, White Sox and Dodgers appear to be the three primary teams. #RedSox https://twitter.com/PeteAbe

Jon Morosi ‏@jonmorosi #Pirates still interested in Kevin Youkilis, but team was not confident in its chances of landing him as of Saturday night, sources say. https://twitter.com/jonmorosi

Good win and good attendance. Keep it up .

Straight up gas. That was awesome.

Really good news on the attendance

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jun 23, 2012 -> 09:28 PM) If he started today then why do they need to bring him up tomorrow? He missed his schedule start because he is being called up. As for why I have no idea.He is being brought up though.

Knock him in Hudson

QUOTE (fathom @ Jun 23, 2012 -> 09:20 PM) Baron, you sure they're not going to send down/DL another player on their roster in order to activate Cook? adeDeadliner ‏@TradeDeadliner #RedSox will activate Aaron Cook from the DL tomorrow to start against ATL. Expect Youkilis trade to be done by then to make room. https://twitter.com/TradeDeadliner Thats where I got it from. I was thinking of that earlier but I have no idea who else they would send down. Aaron Cook is for sure coming up though. He was suppose to start today in Pawtucket.

QUOTE (Frank_Thomas35 @ Jun 23, 2012 -> 09:17 PM) You're absolutely right, my bad. No worries...Ill let anyone know if something changes in this situation. Im betting something happens soon(tonight).

If Matt was getting traded he wouldnt be pitching. So everybody ease up on that rumor.

QUOTE (Frank_Thomas35 @ Jun 23, 2012 -> 08:51 PM) I know earlier you were hearing a Spect+ cash for Youk, are you hearing anything new?? I believe that was Bucket actually who was hearing that. That seems to be the amount people are going to give up. I dont think Matt will be involved in the trade.

His slider keeps missing.

The Red Sox are promoting Aaron Cook tomorrow. So Youkillis will be gone by then.

QUOTE (Jake @ Jun 23, 2012 -> 08:32 PM) Hudson hitting at a .250 pace from here on out could sure save us a lot of headache. Except him doing that is highly unlikely

Well Hudson got a hit....he must have heard that Youkillis is coming to town.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jun 23, 2012 -> 08:29 PM) Not bad thru the first 4 innings. Left everything up in the zone after that. Most would agree he should have been pulled after 5, in which he would have only given up 2 earned runs. Brewers definitely had warning track power against him though. Oh alright...did Jones get slapped around a little bit last inning? Thanks for the update on Axelrod guys .

Sorry Ive been at work for most of the game. How was Axelrod?

QUOTE (JoshPR @ Jun 23, 2012 -> 03:43 PM) You may laugh and I know a lot of guys ml ain't great, but you never know. Anyways I meant axelrod, Castro and even Jordan danks, yes we are close and I understand that, but if these guys get a taste of it and do ok or whatever they start gelling together and you have foundation, i'd rather see you of these guys get a chance instead of throwing money away on the o-dawg types if the end result will be the same, now that's my opinion, people tend to look at stats and I guess that's what they are there for but if you look at buherle his stats in the minors were never eye popping and was drafted in the whatever round, but as we all know the rest is history, again that's my thinking laugh and call me dumb or whatever but I think that if you don't try them you'll never know, just look at Quintana too Those guys are getting a taste of it(Except for Castro....for now). Its not like we paid Hudson a boat load of money. Basically the Padres are paying him not to be on their club.

Beckham

Lol now that fake account is saying the Braves traded for him.

QUOTE (kapzk @ Jun 23, 2012 -> 03:10 PM) That's a team option isnt it? correct

QUOTE (Chet Kincaid @ Jun 23, 2012 -> 03:07 PM) I want the Sox to get Youk but I don't think I'd give up Matt Thornton for him. Is he under contract for next year too? Kevin is under contract for next year for 13 million I believe

QUOTE (Soxfest @ Jun 23, 2012 -> 03:04 PM) One thing regardless this is gonna happen by Monday IMO. Its going to happen today in all likelihood

QUOTE (Jake @ Jun 23, 2012 -> 03:03 PM) Yeah, I don't think they're going to be too picky and I don't think they believe he's going to contribute anyway. Kevin thought that his swing was getting back to where it needed to be. But it doesnt help when he isnt playing everyday.
