chetkincaid Posted July 31, 2009 Share Posted July 31, 2009 I think that the best thing about this trade is KW basically telling the Tigers and the Twins... "You can take your Washburn and your OC and you can go f*** yourselves"... I love it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ozzie Ball Posted July 31, 2009 Share Posted July 31, 2009 QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Jul 31, 2009 -> 10:12 PM) Some people think we overpaid? Really? We managed to grab an ace with out giving up Huddy, Flowers, Danks or Viciedo. This wasn't even close to an overpay, this was a genius move by Kenny. Absolute genius.I completely agree, I love that they sold this high on Richard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jordan4life_2007 Posted July 31, 2009 Share Posted July 31, 2009 QUOTE (TheBigHurt @ Jul 31, 2009 -> 04:12 PM) I know, I know. I'm sorry. Forgive me for eying the stats like a hawk after such a big trade. I originally made a post regarding his W/L, but I deleted it after I realized what you are saying. I was more directing that towards the guy I quoted. Overall, his stats seem pretty solid. Either way, I'm very exited over this trade. J4L forgives you.

TylerAtIU Posted July 31, 2009 Share Posted July 31, 2009 Via MLBTR... "Frankly I am flabbergasted that the White Sox would want to make this deal with him in his physical condition," Axelrod said. Is that a bad thing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoxFan562004 Posted July 31, 2009 Share Posted July 31, 2009 it would be a cherry on top if Richard and Poreda stick it to the Cubs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorthSideSox72 Posted July 31, 2009 Share Posted July 31, 2009 Good deal, even a great one if we get some salary back. But what is the deal with the opt-out again? That could throw this deal back towards middlin'. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the same article he says that the thing he stressed to KW was that Peavy hadn't thrown off a mound in 2 months. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"You can take your Washburn and your OC and you can go f*** yourselves"... I love it. Not really. Washburn and OC are rentals for the rest of the year only. We don't even know for sure that Peavy will pitch at all the rest of the year. They're looking short term while Kenny's looking more long term, with a possible bonus for the short term.

I have no problem with the deal. Exactly. We'd go just as crazy if this deal was made at the winter meetings. Peavy being signed for so long is what makes this a spectacular deal for KW.

"You can take your Washburn and your OC and you can go f*** yourselves"... I love it. And the Tigers are in "win-now" mode, so next year, when Washburn is somewhere else and Peavy shuts them out for the 3rd time...we can sit back, strap it down, enjoy a cold one and giggle ever-so-slightly to ourselves about how the Tigers were a washout in the ALDS. And when Peavy strikes out OC in game 163 this year for another 1-0 complete game, we can call the scorekeeper and say, "I know it looked like he swung.... Sorry man, can't say it without laughing."

That seems like something that would've been mentioned. The deal was made in 37 minutes according to his agent, I really doubt that they discussed that.

SoxAce Posted July 31, 2009 Share Posted July 31, 2009 Hopefully Peavy is going to be alright. And like Heads said, Dexter Carter is really gonna hinge the deal for SD. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoxFan562004 Posted July 31, 2009 Share Posted July 31, 2009 Cubs fans saying he's washed up and his best years are behind him... I'm sure that's what they'd be saying if they got him! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
