fathom Posted July 31, 2005 Share Posted July 31, 2005 QUOTE(Tony82087 @ Jul 31, 2005 -> 05:47 AM) See Tony, I don't b**** ALL the time! It really is something that we're seemingly forgetting about. A lot of these teams trying to make trades are doing so just to have a chance to make the playoffs. Most of these teams would trade every single prospect they had in order to get a lead as big as the Sox have right now. Maybe it's just me, but I never saw the point of trading for another starting pitcher. We have our main 3 guys, and those are the pitchers who deserve to start in the playoffs IF we get there. If we don't make it, we don't deserve to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
103 mph screwball Posted July 31, 2005 Share Posted July 31, 2005 Plan on the Sox giving BMac, Gio, Anderson, Sweeney, and Fields for just Huff. That way, when the Sox part with just 3-4 top prospects for Huff and Baez it will seem less shocking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Too many prospects given up, no deals done, the deal doesnt improve the team, we didnt get the right guy, etc. Brace yourselves... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you see the prospects that Tampa wanted in the proposed Manny deal? We're not talking about guys people think we'll trade on here, like Tracey or Baj.

Then, when we give up LESS than that in the actual deal and get Baez as well, it will seem like an awesome trade... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fathom Posted July 31, 2005 Share Posted July 31, 2005 Anyone else thrilled though that we're not playing until tomorrow night? Thus, we can just sit back and follow the trade deadline rumors without having to watch the game also. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fathom Posted July 31, 2005 Share Posted July 31, 2005 QUOTE(Tony82087 @ Jul 31, 2005 -> 05:55 AM) I think another starter could have been helpful down the stretch, but IMO, would have been nice for the future. While it's all about this year, and well it should, I am still looking ahead, and a guy like Burrnet I would have been happy to have taking Jose's spot in the rotation for the next 3 years, but it just wasn't in the cards. Here's the thing: there wasn't a chance in hell Burnett was going to sign here. Thus, I'm happy we didn't trade for him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SnB Posted July 31, 2005 Share Posted July 31, 2005 I'd still like a blockbuster trade getting a middle of the order bat But doesn't look like that's happening, so i'll be willing to settle for a huff type situation i guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In this market, Huff is the biggest blockbuster middle of the order guy you could get that wouldn't set your team back financially for years to come.

As if this stuff already wasn't driving me nuts but having a game the same time as the expiring deadline would have been hard to handle.
