Questions in the wake of the Hudson trade

By Jim Margalus ⋅ August 2, 2010 ⋅ 20 comments

Fire up the doubt machine. Making his Arizona Diamondbacks debut, Daniel Hudson threw eight innings of one-run ball, allowing just three hits and a walk while striking out four. This is the kind of start I simultaneously wanted to see and hoped wouldn’t happen. It’s fitting, because entering our third day since the trade for [...]

More thoughts about the Teahen trade

By Jim Margalus ⋅ November 6, 2009 ⋅ 14 comments

I’m heading to a Fiery Furnaces show, and then out of town, so I’m just going to barf out a few more thoughts on the recent post-Teahen developments. No. 1: I regret that I won’t have many more occasions to use this picture. We barely had a chance to use it, and now he’s gone.  [...]

Teahen for 2: White Sox trade Fields, Getz to Royals?

By Jim Margalus ⋅ November 5, 2009 ⋅ 32 comments

This didn’t take long, if this Daily News report is correct. While the Yankees and Phillies continued to wage their World Series battle Wednesday night, the Chicago White Sox and Kansas City Royals were making a trade. The Daily News learned the White Sox have agreed to send second baseman Chris Getz and third baseman [...]

Go West, Old Men: What do the Thome, Contreras trades mean?

By Jim Margalus ⋅ September 1, 2009 ⋅ 10 comments

As August came to an end, Kenny Williams officially brought his team’s postseason hopes to a close. The Gentleman Masher is now a Gentleman Dodger. The White Sox traded Jim Thome for Justin Fuller,  who will never be more famous than he is right now.  Somehow, they also sent Jose Contreras to Colorado for something [...]

His name is Rios and he cost just 20 grand

By Jim Margalus ⋅ August 11, 2009 ⋅ 17 comments

Hey, who knew Kenny Williams had the ability to make a $56 ticket for jaywalking look like a bottle deposit? If you take the cost of that citation and multiply it by a million or so, that’s roughly what Williams spent on his ballclub Monday.  J.P. Ricciardi dropped a right fielder in the water, Williams [...]

Writing was on wall for four-pack of pitchers

By Jim Margalus ⋅ August 2, 2009 ⋅ 3 comments

While Jake Peavy won’t begin his rehab stint for another couple of weeks, Clayton Richard made an immediate impact for the San Diego Padres.  He allowed just one run (a solo homer) over 5 2/3 innings, allowing more walks (three) than hits (two). He seemed to lose effectiveness his second and third time through — [...]

White Sox acquire Peavy (update)

By Jim Margalus ⋅ July 31, 2009 ⋅ 7 comments

It’s a done deal. The final tally: Jake Peavy for Aaron Poreda, Clayton Richard, Dexter Carter and Adam Russell. Kenny Williams is the master of “Shock and Hm.”  After getting leveled by the surprise of it all, I recover and find that I have no strong feelings either way. It’s a fair deal. The Padres [...]
