Quite the speculation there. I think it would be more likely if AJ is the one who is being traded right now, and he is going to say his goodbyes to each person individually.

 

However, still believe it's a reach.

Sure you're absolutely right, but I have a feeling he is the Angel's top choice and times-a-wastin' on their side. That said, they are doing well since Kendry went down.

Halos have said they are sticking with internal options. That will probably change, as their depth now is pretty bad, but I don't think they go after PK until they can get him for a lot less. I'd imagine they go after a real 3rd baseman before they replace Napoli at first.

I'd be surprised if any moves are made anytime soon. Beating up on these crappy NL teams is giving the people in the organization some false optimism I'm sure.

 

Yeah no kidding, were slowly creeping up to .500 and you know the way Kenny thinks.. ide be shocked if a move was made right now..

I'd have never believed this team would be sniffing .500. If it reaches .500 the city should hold a parade.

 

I wonder if Kenny is in Pitt because it was publicized this week he hasn't made a road trip yet, to avoid Oz.

That again threatened his manhood in this battle of egos. Think that's why he went? He immediately goes on a road trip after articles say he's not been on one cause of Oz.

Question is...are they cutting a major deal to buy?

I doubt it. The team is capped up financially and has been far too inconsistent for Kenny to be willing to sell minor league talent for major leaguers. I could see him buying on a young player that he thought fit long-term, but even than I doubt it will happen because the Sox flat out can't afford to give up what little upper level talent they have (Viciedo, Flowers, Danks, Morel, and Huddy). And of that talent, it is Viciedo/Huddy/Morel I am most confident in. I still like Danks more than most and think he needs more time. He's a plus defensive player and hits the ball hard and has made some adjustments to his swing that haven't quite clicked.

 

Flowers is a guy I probably will never love, but he has a shot to be a nice OPS type of player at a premium position.
