Actually, her catalog can apply to a great majority of this season.

Well, how about that.

A sweep of the double header would put the Sox alone in second place. A lesser team might think “why would we want that” but the Sox, they’re a clever bunch. I think they might be willing to do it. I think they see the value of sucking slightly less.

they see the value

of that second-place money. For the Christmas gifts. For the coaches.

Didn't Ozzie sputter on last week

about the coaches getting a few extra bucks to buy Christmas gifts or something?

Watching the replay on Gameday, and Dunn's swing looked really half-hearted to me.

Maybe I’m just ignorant, but it still looks like he has zero confidence up there. Yeesh.

nice to hear farmer try to rip moneyball.

yeah ed, you might want to check your facts. i count five times (and four times in his first six years). also, you might want to read the book or otherwise attempt to find out what it is you’re talking about. jerk.

OT, sort of, but anyone else notice that Floyd has a WHIP of 1.19 this year?

Why the hell are people suggesting that he should be traded?

Also, why the hell would the Sox trade Danks?

Don’t the Sox have Pierre and Quentin coming off the books, assuming that Buehrle is resigned and Quentin is non-tendered? Isn’t that ~$10 million?

Thought of this the other day and didn’t have a chance to comment.

It’s taken years of practice to be such an asshole.

Well, depending on the players you get in return, everyone on everyone's roster should be

considered for trades.

True, but I was reading the postulated trades as salary dumps

The context was an article that was linked in the C.M. Reading Room, where Jayson Stark’s sources said the Sox needed to cut payroll for 2012, so they were going to trade Floyd or Danks.

Screw that, they set themselves up to be “all in” for 2011 and 2012. Downgrading the rotation is not the way to win the Central in 2012, as others (especially Jim) have pointed out recently.

It’s taken years of practice to be such an asshole.

With Danks, he's in line for a raise for next year. No one is going to take your biggest contracts,

and since pitching is a source of strength*, it makes sense the front office would at least consider moving one or both of them. Assume Buerhle doesn’t come back, that helps free up some space.

*Source of strength meaning you at least have a number of arms to plug into open spots.

I sure hope someone does an analysis of Reed's pitching.

Would be great to read between games.

Trying to score runs with Juan Pierre as your leadoff hitter is like trying to suture a wound in a moving car. You might still be successful -- but why make it so hard on yourself?
