If we're trading Rios, we might as well trade Peavy and take the near $30 million in salary savings to invest for the future. If you're giving up one of your best offensive players and not going to bring in some FAs, why keep Peavy unless you think what we'll put together in 2014 is a contender.

And of course, if you trade your veterans for players who are two, three, four years away from helping your team, you are going to lose more games this year (and next if you don't make upgrades in the offseason, which you probably could have made regardless) than if you had not traded your veterans. |

I think he means libel, but gentlemen, can we turn our focus to the future moves the Sox will be making to try and improve our future.

Yeah but I wasn't championing the argument like it was going to happen. I said it was possible, so thinking we were going to compete with them was laughable. Our best outcome was worse than their worst outcome. FWIW, my BEST outcome for us was in the 75 win range.

Maybe Floyd can be signed on the cheap to try for the 5th starter role. If Peavy is traded, we'll have an opening and not sure if we'll have anybody in the system then to try as a starter. |

No way do they bring Floyd back as Johnson seems ready to go. |

Looks like Peavy had a decent rehab start. 1 run over 5 innings, albeit a sturdy 90 pitches. |

I would not be opposed to getting Randall Delgado back. Its hard to call a 23 year old kid with a 3.90 ERA and a 6:1 K:BB Ratio a bust....He is a solid young pitcher and I think would be a good Cooper Project.
For those of you clamoring for a quick rebuild, starting with Sale-Delgado and then hoping some of the mid rotation prospects we have like Johnson and Beck work out, along with back end acceptable pitchers like Quintana and Santiago, its a good way to go. It is cost effective and lets you use money and other areas to rebuild the offense.

You know a pitcher who had that same kind of background, one you would easily just write off...... Freaking Johan Santana. Delgado is not a bust, and AZ is not trading him to us for a busted prospect, because, he is not a busted prospect. This not a Simon Castro or Nestor Molina. This is a 23 year old who has pitched reasonably well in the bigs. You do not trade Peavy for Delgado straight up, but if you could get a package like Delgado Matt Davidson and Chris Owings or something with Delgado and Stryker Trahan, yah, you have a winner and its a great deal. |

He's pitched pretty poorly with Arizona, actually. He did okay with Atlanta for 7 games.
But you're right, busted is premature. As part of a package, perhaps. Maybe we can get back the 2nd half of the Jackson trade (was than a horrendous trade, or what). I just don't want any giveaways out of Hahn. |
