SOXOBAMA Posted July 27, 2012 Share Posted July 27, 2012 Nor should we, IMO If Danks isn't coming back this year, we need to add a quality starter. I 'd hate to have Floyd/Humber pitching a playoff game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's allowed 62 hits in 45.1 innings. Not helping his trade market No thanks for Shields some scouts said he might just need a change of scenery, fathom mentioned how hes not getting slong with the pitching coach. hey maybe they can buy low on him, better than overpaying for greinke.

Of all the players rumored to be on the market or speculated to be on the market, "The King" is the only one that makes any sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The upgrade of Shields over Humber probably gets us more wins in the regular season than going from Floyd to Greinke. However, I think KW is banking on the postseason and wants to run out Greinke-Q-Sale-Peavy (the order would be dependent upon who is hottest at the time) in the first round, thus the Greinke rumors. I am confident that Kenny will replace Humber, if not by the 31st then through the waiver period. I just think Kenny is thinking bigger right now. IMO we'll at least get Dempster or Vargas before the deadline. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frank_Thomas Posted July 27, 2012 Share Posted July 27, 2012 Well that sucks. Now we can have an even harder time beating AL contenders. Now we better do something, and not a Ryan Dempster.

Time to go get more beer IMO. Hahaha my kinda guy. It does seem we need another solid starter to become "legit" contenders. I don't trust Humber at all & we all know how on/off Gavin can be. Plus going into the playoffs it would be tough to depend on Q to keep up his performances. Sale & Peavy could be about as good a 1-2 punch there is in the playoffs (if we make it) so getting just a solid #3 pitcher would be a good pickup IMO (like a Fister last year for the Tigers). No need to gut the farm for ZG or Shields or the crackpipe dream of all dreams in Felix. If Q & Gavin perform well in the playoffs (if we make it) that's just gravy. Sale/Peavy/& #3 pitcher will determine how far we go in the playoffs. & the bullpen of course, which I wouldn't mind adding another piece to.
