Deadline speculation out of the Pacific Northwest...

Enjoy. It's a mind-boggling read.

Certain gems:

"The Red Sox have also been mentioned in many rumors. Supposedly, they would like to secure their rotation by picking up Jake Peavy from the Padres for third basemen Mike Lowell."

"Many say that Tejada could be on his way to Houston in exchange for shortstop Adam Everett in an attempt to push a late resurgence for the Astros."

Some more fun:

If the Cards make any moves at all, the most likely move would be snatching one of the bigger names in Phillies’ left fielder Bobby Arbeu. He would solidify their outfield on defense and add not only a run producer, but also a very clutch hitter to their lineup.

The White Sox and Twins will battle for the AL Wild Card. A significant indicator of which squad will be the buyer and seller is their upcoming three-game series.

So now that the White Sox were swept, are they sellers? Can we get Konerko? :)

Most reasonably, the Rangers will win the division due to their potent offense and steady pitching.

Rangers and "steady pitching" should never be used in the same sentence. Unless the word "awful" is used in the middle of the two.


Anyway, thanks for the article, Zac. And to Tim Purpura, I'm tired of the excuses. Stop being a lazy bum. Tejada for Everett, get it done you fat bastard. :D
