Trades before the deadline?

That sucks if true. Peavy is Dempster 2.0.

[italstallianion]

You do know Kenny Williams is no longer GM of the White Sox right? Also, that comment is ridiculous and not funny. Nice try though.

 

 

I felt like Omar Minaya and Dominicans would have been a better place to start.

Welcome to Boston, Jake. Now we just need to hear what he cost us.

 

If Iglesias is the biggest piece in the package, I'm actually surprisingly ok with this. Love Iggy's glove and think he will be a useful major leaguer, but this really clears the way for Bogaerts, unimpeded by anything, really.

 

Don't love Peavy, but he'll probably help.

[MANNYHOF24]

Honestly, throw Workman in the Pen and maybe Dempster down the stretch, this makes our pitching look much more formidable if you ask me.

[italstallianion]

Peavy for JBJ and Igglsias

 

If that's the case I'm going to go down to the hardware store in the morning and purchase some rope and look up a Youtube video on how to tie a noose. It's been a good one guys. Take care of yourselves.

[Palodios]

Hmm, I bet reviewing Peavy's medicals may be the challenge here.

[MANNYHOF24]

Don't be fooled by ERA, Peavys stats are much better when you look into them deeply.

What are you talking about? The two are polar opposites.

[a700hitter]

I think this trade means that we will be getting Young. Without Iggy, we will not stick with Snyder full-time at 3B. WMB isn't coming back anytime soon. Young seems to be the obvious choice.

Several sources reporting that Bradley was taken out due to discomfort in his elbow, and is not part of the Peavy deal.

[SoxSport]

So Iggy gets dealt for Peavy. Maybe the WSx remember Aparicio in the Al Lopez days.

 

Peavy is just too much like Dempster to get excited.

[a700hitter]

Now they are saying it's a 3 way deal with the Tigers as the 3rd team.

Would you rather we raped our farm system for Cliff Lee?

No JBJ, No Cecchini per sources.

Someone had posted stats comparing the two over the last couple years. Surprisingly similar... I bet that's what he is referring to.

Name 3 pitchers on the Red Sox who have a better K/BB, and whip then Jake Peavy? I bet you can't

Why do you people keep comparing Peavy to Dempster? They are literally polar opposites. Peavy is effective but fragile. Dempster is inconsistent but durable.

[a700hitter]

I hope we get Howie Kendrick instead of Michael Young.

[BornToRun]

No JBJ, No Cecchini per sources.

 

This just keeps looking better and better.

[SoxFanForsyth]

I hope we get Howie Kendrick instead of Michael Young.

 

Yes please!!!

[SoxSport]

At this point, we have no clue what Lee would have cost. It looks like the main obstacle was Lee's salary.

Dempster pitched in the NL for the last couple of years, and he's been healthy. Peavy's been pitching in the AL, and mostly injured. Not comparable.

[Bellhorn04]

Keeping the faith that BenCh is making smart moves.

[MNSoxChief102]

Hearing Iggy is going to Detroit. Tigers pulled top prospect Avasail Garcia tonight as well. Maybe he's headed to Chicago? Tigers need backup for when Peralta gets nailed for PEDs

[Palodios]

Name 3 pitchers on the Red Sox who have a better K/BB, and whip then Jake Peavy? I bet you can't

 

Uehara, Tazawa, Lackey? Maybe not Lackey.

[BornToRun]

I hope we get Howie Kendrick instead of Michael Young.

 

Isn't he under contract after this year? Where would we put him long term?

[italstallianion]

Would you rather we raped our farm system for Cliff Lee?

 

 

Depending on the specific definition of raped, then yes.

 

But I need to know exactly what's being sent in this trade to confirm.

[RedSoxNC84]

I hope we get Howie Kendrick instead of Michael Young.

 

That would be a pretty solid move, I would have to agree with you.

[SoxSport]

hope he does well.
