SoxFan1 Posted January 12, 2009 Share Posted January 12, 2009 I read the thread title, my heart sunk, I got excited, then thought "No way, this isn't possible." Then I though, "Well, KW is f***ing crazy" and then I read the 1st post and posted this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kev211 Posted January 12, 2009 Share Posted January 12, 2009 Shoulda started the post with the quote so people would read this first "Left-hander Aaron Poreda and infielder Gordon Beckham, drafted in the first round by the Chicago White Sox the last two years, were among 18 players..." and think dealt to the brewers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Melissa1334 Posted January 13, 2009 Share Posted January 13, 2009 Lol i doubted it before i even opened the post, didnt think the brewers would trade him. funny though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScottyDo Posted January 13, 2009 Share Posted January 13, 2009 just add the qualifying article "a" to the title line. White Sox get a Ryan Braun. see? much more palatable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BearSox Posted January 13, 2009 Share Posted January 13, 2009 lol, I knew this was about the pitcher. The only way any team would get THE Ryan Braun would be by trading their top 2 players on the major league roster with full cash considerations, as well as their top 2-3 prospects.

That was an obvious over exaggeration just showing how untouchable Braun is, and that he'd cost a king's ransom to get. I didn't think I'd need to clarify that, but just in case.

ThunderBolt Posted January 13, 2009 Share Posted January 13, 2009 I wish Danksy part 2 were here, but i'm excited to see what kind of impression Flowers, Poreda and Beckham leave on the team. The other three names of note are Myrow, Kroeger, and Restovich. Two of which (K and R)were really big prospects at one time and are both deserving of a shot at the MLB Level. Sadly this chance will not and should not come with our organization. Myrow is pretty much a more patient Brad Eldred and might have a decent shot of picking up a handful of abs if Allen isn't ready for if/when Konerko gets hurt.

I was actually going through the googling some of the names I hadn't heard before. There was more middle infielders than I really expected to see in that bunch.
