what? do you follow baseball?

you can sell Peavy, Rios, Konerko, Dunn, AJ, Thornton, Crain quite easily.

Any of those guys have NTC?

Age might be a factor as well. But I agree you can sell them.

Konerko and AJ have to have 10/5 rights. Peavy is a free agent to be (has a ridiculous team option for 22 million next year or a 4 million buyout). We've discussed the returns on bullpen guys. They certainly could be moved depending on some factors.

yes. AJ,PK for sure have the NTC. but im sure most would be willing to go. but obviously it wont happen because what kind of message does that send to the fans? Im just pissed off because I have a feeling DET will get desperate to make a couple of moves and we will stand pat which means no playoffs.

If your team is ahead in first, unless the grand plan is to rebuild (which considering the state of your farm, you probably should), then it's too early to throw in the towel. But I'd certain start hammering some phones.

And to that point what is the window on this team going forward. With the pipeline barren, I agree that now is the time to go for it since there is a real question about how many more shots you have with this core.

Sox have a core? Since when?

tank
PK
Dunn
Rios

Sale
Danks

are the core if that is what we are talking about.

ummm a 3 hitter in dunn who leads the league in hrs and walks
PK who is just a stud
rios playing well
tank is a young piece coming into his own

sale and danks under team control anchor the staff.

what is wrong with you today? you make such odd blanket statements without any thought

Beckham has thrived in the 2 hole, but I think the reason for his better than before season is just being a better player this year thanks to hitting coach etc.

If they switch Beckham and Rios, I think the lineup looks a lot better.
