fathom Posted July 29, 2012 Share Posted July 29, 2012 QUOTE (Cerbaho-WG @ Jul 29, 2012 -> 03:24 AM) No. wouldn't be surprised if another trade happens now. SS2k has sold me on it being Morel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
macsandz Posted July 29, 2012 Share Posted July 29, 2012 Great move by Kenny. Traded spare parts for a pitcher that can be absolutely dominant when motivated. The price for other starters is astronomical right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
southsider2k5 Posted July 29, 2012 Share Posted July 29, 2012 QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Jul 28, 2012 -> 10:24 PM) Seriously... for Escobar, Hernandez, Heidenreich, Walters, Lillibridge and Stewart... we got Myers, Liriano and Youk, and some cash offsets. Um, yeah, Ill take that. That is so full of win, it isn't even funny. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's the #2 scenario for me, a trade. Morel is my #1 guess. Saladino coming up would be about #6, behind Morel, trade, Johnson/Jackson, maybe even Kuhn.

SOXOBAMA Posted July 29, 2012 Share Posted July 29, 2012 He's high. Between Hudson and Morel, they can cover the one off day a month that Alexei will get. We need a backup SS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mmmmmbeeer Posted July 29, 2012 Share Posted July 29, 2012 I know as a Sox fan this may be biased, but KW has secured executive of the year with his acquisitions of Youk, Myers, and Liriano. We've lost literally nothing of importance and picked up 3 key pieces to fill enormous holes on our team. No veteran presence in the pen, let's go ahead and snag Brett Myers for a couple marginal prospects. A giant hole at 3b currently filled by a developing player with major health issues, let's trade a utility player not doing s*** and a AAAA pitcher for a 3-time All Star 3b who is still young enough to make an impact (and has). Danks is hurt and Humber is pitching like s***, let me pick up a dominant lefty starter with hella potential for another utility guy and a scrub minor leaguer. KW is god. It's official. I love this deal. I really hope we can sign Liriano to an extension....he's getting back to where he needs to be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

daggins Posted July 29, 2012 Share Posted July 29, 2012 QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Jul 28, 2012 -> 10:20 PM) Really doubt it, he's struggled a lot this year. Take a look at his home/road splits. He has almost a 900 OPS away from Regions. Something about that park.. Anyways they don't need him to be great, just to start 4 or 5 games and pinch run.

Heads22 Posted July 29, 2012 Share Posted July 29, 2012 It's kinda funny seeing KW make three trades with the biggest question mark being Brett Myers' character. EVEN IF one of the guys we traded makes it big (and the odds are against it) there is no way you can't say that these three deals were all deals that needed to be made with the personnel we put on the table.

iamshack Posted July 29, 2012 Share Posted July 29, 2012 I'm so excited...I think under Cooper, Liriano has a chance to be the best SP that was acquired at the break by far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maggsmaggs Posted July 29, 2012 Share Posted July 29, 2012 It's amazing how much quality talent we have acquired the past month and I haven't shed a single tear about the players we've given up. Usually KW gives up too much because of his overaggressiveness, but this year, he is killing it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
