Just saw the trade news about Liriano. Sad to see him go. He was a great teammate and friend. Also found out I am spot starting tomorrow.

 

 

Great to see that Liriano was well liked with the Twins.

I'd be find with Kuhn getting the call for a month, he might only end up playing 1 game. Once September comes around we can bring up saladino and another warm body more than enough to backup ss position. I really wonder if KW has one more trick up his sleeve though.

Not sure how to take this trade. Liriano could be gone at the end of the season. Escobar was hitting more than Hudson. Hopefully it stabilizes our rotation

Escobar isn't a big loss. His defense at the end of games will be missed when a PR is used for Paulie. Hudson will have to spell Youk, that's pretty scary, and I have no idea who the back up SS is. Maybe its Morel.

A 6 man rotation is perfect for everyone. Sale & Peavy need the extra rest & with Floyd & Humber just coming off the DL I'm sure they could use the extra day as well.

 

I'm thinking 6-man for the next 36 games, and then settle on a 5-man starting Sep 7.

Kevin Slowey, Romero or Marcum is next. Dice-K...?

 

LOL.

 

Dempster will be traded to the White Sox if the Dodgers keep low-balling them and Braves don't restart talks. Theo doesn't care about the White Sox-Cubs stuff, only the return.

 

So Dempster for Molina + another fairly advanced pitching prospect. Floyd to be marketed for all he's worth and possibly held onto.

Im telling you it will be Bloomquist (Backup SS, 2nd, & OF) & Putz to solidify the pen :)

In the trade vein, any idea on the PTBL in the Meyers trade?

 

 

Walker, Johnson, Semien or Kevan Smith in all likelihood.

 

It's worth it, we desperately needed a veteran reliever with 3 pitches down in the pen and a calming presence with experience.

Forget it. The Sox are done.

Escobar and Hudson are remarkably similar batters. I think Orlando can replicate what Eduardo has done at the plate. Interested in how we handle the rest. I say we pick up Zobrist as "utility"/full time 2B ;)

You are hearing we may be going after dempster as well? So we might look to trade Floyd for prospects. I would really like to see KW get a vetran utility infielder who plays SS.
