SoxAce Posted July 25, 2009 Share Posted July 25, 2009 QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Jul 25, 2009 -> 04:36 PM) Well Danks turned down a simlar deal to what Floyd accepted. Meh.. that was to buy out their arb. years. Quentin also did the same thing and turned it down. Hell when Floyd was struggling ealry, alot of posters here thought that deal looked brutal cause of one good year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
witesoxfan Posted July 26, 2009 Share Posted July 26, 2009 QUOTE (Kalapse @ Jul 25, 2009 -> 04:20 PM) I doubt Kenny would think twice about sending a few prospects to a division rival if it meant landing Cliff Lee and his fiscally accommodating contract ($9M team option for next year). I definitely think Shapiro would be more hesitant to make such a deal (assuming he sees his club at a competitor next year). so, my scenario still holds true. I still win.

BearSox Posted July 28, 2009 Share Posted July 28, 2009 Ed Price of AOL Fanhouse tweets that the Dodgers "are in hard on" Orioles closer George Sherrill. The O's, in turn, have been looking at LHP prospect Scott Elbert, "but have reservations about him." Elbert missed just about the entire 2007 season with shoulder surgery, but has recovered nicely to strike out 20 batters in 17.1 big league innings. Okay, you can officially cross off Sherrill because it makes no sense for us to give up value that of Elbert (probably more) for Sherrill.

This should come as a surprise to no one. Of course they're going to be looking for a big return on Sherrill, he's proved to be a damn good closer in the American League. He NEVER made any sense for the Sox. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, a lot of people think the Pena-Allen trade was an olive branch gift after the Quentin trade (like Iguchi after the Garcia trade), so maybe Qualls will come cheap as a make up for the Pena-Allen trade.

Wanne Posted July 28, 2009 Share Posted July 28, 2009 This whole thread is "mind-bottling".... The DBags pen has been atrocious this year...so we take 2 of their relievers?!?!?....K. And I really have a hard time believing they'd deal Haren...especially given the condition that Webb's shoulder is currently. That is unless they want to completely drive away whatever fan base they've managed to hang on to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dick Allen Posted July 29, 2009 Share Posted July 29, 2009 I was in the Metrodome last night and a guy told me Garland to the White Sox with Poreda to AZ. Straight up makes zero sense, and I have no idea his source, but it would have to include others IMO. With Colon experiencing elbow issues it could be something that at least partially happens.

To be honest, thats not a great deal, but I'd be shopping Poreda hard if I were KW. I really really want the kid to be good, but I just dont see it.

The pieces that were given to AZ for Quentin and Richar were a couple of the pieces that got AZ Dan Haren. The Chris Young trade was a bad one for AZ.

Chisoxfn Posted July 29, 2009 Author Share Posted July 29, 2009 I don't see the Sox dealing Poreda for Garland but who knows. I'm not Poreda's biggest fan, although I think he could help the Sox in the pen as soon as next year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
