Bowden and Lowrie you can have. Buchholz and Ellsbury are on the "untouchable" list IIRC.THEWOOD;870907; said:

I doubt Theo would give up either, despite what the Yankees decide to do. I don't think the Yankees have the available resources (position-player wise) anyway if Chicago's putting him on the block solely with the purpose of beefing up their farm system. The Red Sox aren't really in a position where they need Buehrle, and unless Boston gives him the long-term deal that he wants (and I've read he's asking for Zitoesque money), then he'd essentially be a 4-month rental.THEWOOD;870931; said:I really think the WhiteSox will demand either Bucholz or Ellsbury as part of any package. You also have to take in consideration that the Yankees have already been proposing trades to the WhiteSox for Buehrle. This just drives the price up for the RedSox, last thing they would want is for the Yankees to land him.

If the White Sox are intent on wrestling Clay Buchholz or Jacoby Ellsbury from the Sox in exchange, the conversation will be over quickly. The Sox would be willing to part with some other prospects, but Buchholz and Ellsbury are strictly off-limits.
BuckeyeNation27;871123; said:how is trading the best pitcher going to help in the long run though? we aren't going to get somebodies top prospect for him, he'll be pitching for another team which makes them better, and when it's all over with we'll still be a team that can't hit for shit.....except we won't have an ace.

"I'm not a big Buerhle guy at all. Talk about pitching to contact. Everybody hits him. The only thing good about him is that it doesn't take very long to pitch a game, one way or another. He throws a lot of strikes. I mean not to get on him, lefthanders have always amazed me how they get by. He knows how to pitch obviously, he threw a no-hitter, he's one of the best lefthanders around. I just... I'm afraid of him. I'm afraid of him because he throws too many strikes. I just, Fenway Park, I really don't know. You're only renting him for a couple of months, but beyond that, I'm just not a big fan of his because I think he's very hittable ... to me Gabbard's like Buerhle, but younger and throws harder." -- 6.25.07, Hall of Famer Dennis Eckersley on WEEI's Dennis and Callahan show
