Man the Dodgers really busy, getting Dotel. Funny how teams with money problems (Texas and Dodgers) making moves

 

[JustinTCB]

The Rangers deserve some sort of an award for the way they handled trades this month. to get Cliff Lee and two nice pieces with literally no money is incredible

sox closed up shop before 3pm

Few different people tweeted that Dunn not moving, so guess that is the end of that.

 

[Montanaro]

I'm rather disappointed. I imagine the Sox will be labeled as one of the losers at the trade deadline based on the targets we were pursuing and whiffing on all of them.

 

[tbo41fan]

they still have the guys going through waivers and Olney reported the sox may put a waiver claim on Manny if the Dodgers put him through waivers

yes! we get to see kotsucky at DH. way to go sox!

 

[JustinTCB]

Keep in mind that a waiver deal could go down, specifically one involving Manny. Still I agree the White Sox needed another bat to compete with the big boys and they failed to do that.

 

[JustinTCB]

Haha now The Score says sit tight, Dunn might not be dead.

 

[Montanaro]

I'm not holding my breath

Sox offered Jackson and Flowers, Nats wanted Jackson and Viciedo.

No deal. Too bad.

hmmmmmm

 

[JustinTCB]

Now I don't have a very high opinion of Viciedo, I think he will be a good hitter but probably not a great one. I would have done that deal, but it would have hurt.

Viciedo is just going to be at best an average player imo. His defense is terrible and I don't see his bat being good enough to overshadow his hitting.

 

[hsvj60]

are you all crazy? Viceido is going to be a monster hitter and under no circumstances should he ever be made available!!!

Sarcasm?

 

[JustinTCB]

I think Viciedo ends up around a 20-25 homer guy with a .270-.285 ba/ .330 obp and high slugging. At first base that probably makes him league average or a little better, which is fine with good players at other positions. I think the league average OPS for a first baseman is in the low .800s, but I could be off on that.
