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.

:huh

thanks

Im with you on this one. There will be people compaining left and right. Too many prospects given up, no deals done, the deal doesnt improve the team, we didnt get the right guy, etc. Brace yourselves...

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.

No way.

 

KW better not give up that much.

I like you better outside the gamethreads :P :cheers

I was just teasing 'cause I saw your thread on the main board...

 

Apparently you don't like trade rumors and have voiced your opinion a couple of times.

i'm fine with rumors, but they've taken up the entire board recently.

 

Just want everyone to get back on the right mindset, like fathom said.

Good idea, but it almost gave me an alcer until I realized what you meant by it.

I agree, I probably contribute a lot more to this site outside of the gamethreads. In the heat of the moment, everyone says stuff that they'd rather not.

He means pretend we are giving all that up for just Huff. Then, when we give up LESS than that in the actual deal and get Baez as well, it will seem like an awesome trade...

good call.

post more outside of those threads and people will be alot more lenient with you. When everyone sees your not half as dark as you are in gamethreads, you'll be fine :lol:

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.

i am.

Radio will be on from the moment i get up.

Should be an interesting day, exciting or not, but interesting at least.

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.

The commotion on the site would be uncanny. It still will be because some trades are not officially announced until after the deadline...

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.

 

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.

Yup, same thought crossed my mind. 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.

Overbay? Although he is supposedly off the market...
