Around SBN: Seahawks Trade for TE Kellen Winslow

So what did I miss?

Mark this day on your calendars, SSSers. First we had a post from Shaftr, the ghost-author, and now it's a post, albeit it short one, from your never-present manager, me. Today is truly a rare day in SouthSideSox history.

Lots of quick thoughts

  • As I was headed out of town, I was willing to give Jose Contreras one more start before I started banging the drum loudly for a trade. Contreras only further muddled the situation by going on the DL, claiming he was hurting (missing his homeland, perhaps) during his prolonged period of suck.

    Clayton Richard, who was my 2006 pick for breakout pitcher (better late than never), passed up Jack Egbert and Lance Broadway on the starter depth chart, and seemed to do alright in his place. I hate to rush to judgment on a young, fast-riser, but with the trade deadline looming on Thursday, and his second ML start against the second-place Twins on Tuesday, Richard has a lot to prove.

  • I hate to hear Josh Fields name mentioned in trade talks, and it's not because I'm a huge Fields fan. I've long advocated shipping out Fields when his value was highest, but it now seems as if the Sox have soured a bit on Fields as he has struggled with injuries and failed to show much (if any) growth in AAA this season.

  • If the Sox are to make a trade with Oakland or Toronto, two teams that have been connected to the Sox, Jack Egbert is gone.
  • If I was a betting man, I would bet the Sox fail to make a major move in the next 4 days.
  • Yes, Ozzie. Konerko should be dropped in the order. Duh.
  • I hate that the Indians got Mayday Meloan and Anthony Reyes.
There's plenty more I'd like to comment on, but that's what he comment section is for. Consider this an open thread, and maybe even a Sickelsesque All Questions Answered thread.

LaTroy back to the Twinkies?
The Star Tribune reports that the Twins are interested in RHP LaTroy Hawkins.
Not a huge surprise, as the Twins are looking for bullpen help. He was a dominant reliever for Minnesota five seasons ago, but his strikeout rate has since plummeted. He has pitched better than his ERA indicates, though, especially over the past month.

Cooper wants Boone to get his head out of his ass...

Link:

Heading into the series with Minnesota, manager Ozzie Guillen said left-handed relievers Matt Thornton and Boone Logan had better be ready to go, considering the Twins have two of the toughest lefty bats in the division in Justin Morneau and Joe Mauer.

Thornton seems primed now that his back stiffness is gone, but Logan has allowed 10 earned runs in his last eight outings.

’’The only thing I don’t like is [Logan’s] body language in the clubhouse or the dugout,’’ Guillen said. ’’It feels like, we know you stink right now, but don’t sit around like, ‘Please help me.’ You have to go out there and bounce back. That’s the difference between good and bad players.’‘

Cooper’s message to Logan was even more direct.

’’Boone?’’ Cooper said. ’’Time he gets his head out of his [butt] and get him back to where he’s contributing.’‘

use GIS?

He was a catcher with the Orioles back in the day. Sorry looking (expletive). My brother had his card. He looked like this little kid who got left at a bus station by his parents. You know why? Because he had to catch Hoyt Wilhelms knuckle ball five (expletive) years.

i don't know many folks who have GIS

to simply have it, that is why i ask. it costs a lot unless you have employer footing the bill. i used to dos based arc info back in the day, but i like the current arcgis…

Teixeira to the D-backs?
Yahoo! Sports’ Steve Henson reports that negotiations between the Diamondbacks and Braves are “pretty far along.”
Henson believes the Braves are asking for either Conor Jackson or Chad Tracy, plus a prospect. Jackson is likely off the table, but if the Braves are willing to accept Tracy as the centerpiece of a deal, then the Diamondbacks have to seriously consider making the trade. Still, it could come down to the prospect. The Diamondbacks don’t have much to offer besides Max Scherzer and Jarrod Parker after giving up a big portion of their system for Dan Haren, and it’s doubtful that they’d part with either right-hander.

1st choice, flip AJ and Dirty 30, second choice, flip Kong and Fields

Would these moves be more than just rearranging deck chairs?
