maggsmaggs Posted May 21, 2009 Share Posted May 21, 2009 Hampton knows nothing about baseball on the SCORE. I should have expected this from a football guy, but he just said, Peavy didn't look good when he saw him pitch and thinks Peavy isn't that good. Has he looked at this guy's stats? And he's ONLY 27!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maggsmaggs Posted May 21, 2009 Share Posted May 21, 2009 QUOTE (wilmot825 @ May 21, 2009 -> 10:01 AM) Poreda and Richard is what I just heard They are only half of the deal. There are two players to be named later, apparently. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heads22 Posted May 21, 2009 Share Posted May 21, 2009 QUOTE (kyyle23 @ May 21, 2009 -> 09:59 AM) Kalapse was on to this immediately, he gets the credit here(besides KONA). He completely doubted the validity of it as soon as he saw it, but he had the link up to us in chat when the MLB.com rumor was a page and a half Pft, I linked Kalapse with the pure spectulation/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BearSox Posted May 21, 2009 Share Posted May 21, 2009 QUOTE (fathom @ May 21, 2009 -> 10:00 AM) Yep, the whole PTBNL scares me. If you think about it, the Padres desperately need a middle infielder. I wouldn't lose a second of sleep if it's JorDanks in the trade, and really wouldn't mind selling high on Flowers. Maybe Getz? But if he was part of it, he probably wouldn't be listed as a PTBNL. Who are some MI prospects we have besides Beckham? Does Retherford count? What about Kuhn? He seems like a very Getz like player from what I've read.

NorthSideSox72 Posted May 21, 2009 Share Posted May 21, 2009 On the Ozzie thing, I have to say that overall, I think Ozzie treats his pitchers pretty well. Its the position players he is harder on. I was worried when the hired Ozzie about his pitcher handling, but in general, I think he's adjusted to that fairly well (probably with a lot of help from Cooper).

Right, Im hoping someone like Getz or Nix could fill that void for them. If they include Alexei, I am hoping the Pad's assume some of Jake's salary. Right now Poreda and Richard is better than any package they are going to be offered mid season anyway, just add some lower level fodder and lets do this.

They have little, almost zero trade value, unfortunately. Much more valuable to the Sox than other teams. Teams don't usually trade for prospects with underwhelming tools.

That's very good news - that he would call at all is a good sign, but Linebrink saying good things also helps. If this is true. Hopefully he gets good reviews from Gooch, Mack and/or others as well.

That's good to hear. Linebrink is very conservative, and if he can stand Ozzie, then Peavy should be able to also. I think it's funny that Peavy would have even considered Ozzie to be difficult to play with, as he's nothing but great with veterans.

Dick Allen Posted May 21, 2009 Share Posted May 21, 2009 This would be KW's finest trade ever. Even if Peavy blew out his elbow his first White Sox start. Pitching wins. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd be more than OK about Escobar or Gilmore, neither of which I see living up to their hype (with my admitedly limited data to work from).
