    Damn Youkilis.

    Wow. Lose tonight and start plotting for next year. It's bleeping Fathers Day. June 17th. Wow. I guess the remaining 16 games against the Yankees don't matter. At least not nearly as much as the June 17th interleague game against the Cubs.

    Gordon Edes tweeting that Crawford was throwing hard during pregame today. I'd be shocked if he wasn't on a rehab stint by Tuesday.

    Lavarnway. Swihart. Cecchini. Alex Wilson. Henry Owens. The Sox have a ton of talent in the lower minors. More than enough to get a deal done for Garza. You are insane to think anyone is going to match the haul for Cliff Lee. Just because the Yankees got dicked on the Cliff Lee almost-trade doesn't mean that Garza is going to somehow turn into that same deal. When Lee was dealt, he was 1 year removed from a Cy Young award, and had a 2.34 ERA. That's such a stupid argument. To say that the Sox would have to part with Barnes for Garza?? Dude. Get your head on straight. Maybe if they were going after a guy like Hamels, Felix, Halladay, or Lee. But Garza?? You just want the Sox to get hosed in the deal, and that's all there is to it.

    Which Grienke will be, almost certainly. And I would not be at all surprised to see Hamels on there too. Hamels is a guy that I could see requiring one of Bogaerts, Bradley, or Barnes. Garza?? Haha. Please.

    Theo has said they want to get 5-6 prospects in total for Garza and Dempster. So if you give up Bard, Lars, and Brentz. Or Lavarnway, Lars, and Brentz, you could definitely pull Garza. I think you guys are going to be very, very surprised at what the Cubs get for Garza. And by the way, if you don't think the Cubs would pounce on Bard + Lars for Dempster, you're crazy. That would be a complete overpayment for Dempster.

    Team control man. Team control. I have said it 100 times. He's under control for 1.5 years. Then whoever acquires him has to pony up a long term deal. When the Cubs acquired Garza, he had 3 years left. How can you justify getting equal return with half of his control left? That's now how it works. The Cubs didn't just get a free rental for 1.5 years. It doesn't work that way. Bard is under team control until 2016, and is an elite relief pitcher. He could easily be the closer of the future for the Cubs. Hell, he was supposed to be the closer of the future for the Sox. Maybe the add-on player in Lars is too small. Maybe they do have to tack on a Lavarnway and get back a lesser prospect with Garza. But I think you're substantially overstating the return that the Cubs will get for Garza.

    Here's a question. If the Sox go out and trade for Garza, who gets booted from the rotation next year? Surely they dish one of Beckett or Lackey (or both). And second - If they trade for Garza, doesn't that virtually eliminate them from the Cole Hamels running? And isn't a true "ace" exactly what this team needs? Garza doesn't provide this team a true "ace" but he does give them a very good chance to make a deep run into October. Wouldn't it be nice if they could trade for Garza, ship Beckett and Lackey out, and sign Hamels? One can dream.

    It's almost a certainty that Kalish is in there today. I wonder if they'll have Gonzo in RF again tonight. He needs a break. I know Youk didn't play last night, but we also won. All of this inconsistent lineup and who is playing where s*** has got to stop. Youk needs to sit again tonight. Don't ruin the season by letting Youk manage the team.

    Well if you're relying on him to throw 200 innings, you're right, he's not healthy enough. But for him to come up and give spot starts and be a long man out of the bullpen, he's perfect for that. And lets not forget, pitchers will often times surprise you. Look at Bartolo Colon last year.
  20. SoxFanForsyth
    Not sure about his defense. But he's hitting .273/.397/.495 in AAA right now. That's pretty damn solid, especially that OBP. He'd be a great 2 hole hitter for a team like the Cubs.
  21. SoxFanForsyth
    And remember, Pumpsie. Shields has had ONE good season. Hamels has won a WS MVP, has been in the Cy voting twice, and has a career 3.09 ERA in the post season.
  22. SoxFanForsyth
    Lars can play OF, but that was more of a suggestion as to the level of player, not necessarily Lars himself.
  23. SoxFanForsyth
    Hamels also has a better K:BB ratio, a better ERA+, a lower WHIP, he's just a much better pitcher.

    Cafardo in his Sunday article wrote the following: Hm. Very interesting thought. I'd definitely need a deal worked out (5/82.5) for Garza before pulling the trigger. But if they were able to get Garza for Bard + Lars, I think I would be good with that.
