Tadahito Iguchi Posted July 26, 2005 Share Posted July 26, 2005 I was thinking about it last night, and I'm an advocate of, getting Burnett and swinging him for Wagner.....It makes sense to me, because the Phillies need pitching and they can't get Burnett from the Marlins because that would be like the Twins and the White Sox trading to eachother..........................

RockRaines Posted July 26, 2005 Share Posted July 26, 2005 ESPN Insider Fish hooked? Jul 26 - According to South Florida Sun-Sentinel, a Marlins scout was in Syracuse, N.Y., over the weekend, where top White Sox pitching prospect Brandon McCarthy tossed six strong innings for Triple-A Charlotte. McCarthy, 22, has been mentioned frequently as a key cog in a White Sox offer for A.J. Burnett. He is just 3-7 with a 5.17 ERA this year in the minors, but reports on the 6- foot-7 strikeout artist remain strong. The top hitters on the Charlotte roster include outfielders Brian Anderson, the White Sox's top prospect, and Joe Borchard, a former No. 1 overall draft pick.

That is why all these pie-in-the-sky threads have had me rolling on the floor. Don't get me wrong, I was just as suprised as anyone when Kenny made the such a high number of moves this off-season...I don't think anyone saw that coming. But, when your team has the best record in baseball and it is widely believed to have some of the best "chemistry" in baseball, you aren't going to move current pieces of the MLB roster or start making moves left and right.

RockRaines Posted July 26, 2005 Share Posted July 26, 2005 If KW can unload Borchard on someone before the trading deadline, I would already call it a success. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know, we've discussed pretty much everyone. Guardado, Wagner, Schmidt, Burnett, Vizquel, Huff, Overbay, blah, blah...I don't think even Kenny can fly that far under the radar.

Kyyle23 Posted July 26, 2005 Share Posted July 26, 2005 The latest bit of information, according to a source, is that the Florida Marlins still are looking to deal starter A.J. Burnett, and if they pull the trigger, they intend to do it before Burnett pitches again Saturday. That doesn't mean the Sox are ready to be the team the Marlins deal with, but it would allow them some breathing room if a swap is made. Indications are the Marlins still want to unload third baseman Mike Lowell in a Burnett deal. If the Sox relent and take on Lowell, they'd have a day to move him to another team if a three-team deal can't be done on the day of a trade. http://www.suntimes.com/output/sox/cst-spt-ssep26.html Is the holdup on this deal the Sox trying to swing Lowell to a third party? Just a thought, maybe Lowell(and a prospect or two)could be on his way to Philly for Wagner and Bell? Just thinking out loud, no substance to anything.

About three times yesterday I tried to log on but was rejected because of too many connections to the server. I thought that a trade had been done because so many people logged on. I was pretty dissapointed when I logged on and found out it was only because everyone decided to log on at the same time.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
