I'm hoping we sign Brennan Boesch who was just released.
red sox will be scouting peavy today.

Watched the video on espn.com about the Sox trading chips. Said we have the best and most pieces. Rios, Dunn, Ramirez, Beckham, Danks, Peavy and bullpen arms. We should be able to add some quality depth in our organization this deadline. I prefer to keep Beckham who looks to be coming around while maturing as a player.
Maybe I'm a homer but I like the pitching pieces we have for the future with Sale, Quintana, Santiago, Jones, Reed.
Hopefully Beckham keeps playing well and is the player we expect. We need Viciedo to develop and someone to take charge of the catcher position. So far, it looks like Phegley is the man for the job. And FYI Tyler Flowers sucks donkey ass.
I like De Aza at the leadoff spot still only 29 and has really turned it on lately and has good power. I'd like to see us go after Jacoby Ellsbury if he stays healthy the rest of the season. I wonder what kind of a contract he'll get. If we clear some more payroll (Rios, Dunn, Peavy, Konerko) we should sign this guy.
I don't like Beckham but realistically, there are much bigger problems with this team. Added to the fact that he is young and he probably wouldn't bring in a big prospect, I can think of 6-8 other people that should be traded before he is.
He won't hit .340 for the rest of the season. His BA will regress back towards the mean, eventually. The more important stats are runs, RBI, and HRs... all are incredibly aenemic given the amount of plate appearances.
CBS Sports' Jon Heyman reports that the Red Sox and Cardinals "appear to be emerging" as two of the potential players to land White Sox right-hander Jake Peavy in a trade.
