Soria's scuffling big time as closer in KC, but it's probably nothing Don Cooper can't fix.

Humber currently has a 3.06 ERA and 0.975 WHIP.

Humber's on a 1 year, $500 K deal, Soria balloons to 1/5th of KC's payroll next season, and KC has pitching galore in the pipeline (Montgomery, Duffy, Odorizzi and Jeffress (2 of the 4 guys they got for Greinke)).

Why?

Trade a cheap quality starter for an expensive struggling bullpen pitcher?

No thanks.

No. Starting pitching is golden. Closing is easy. Our closer is an infielder. And he's better than our closer. Who is a pitcher. ??????????????????????

IMO Sergio Santos has more than earned the closer position. I'm tired of taking on "project" pitchers for Coop to fix. Humber is doing a great job and Santos gives me more hope than Thornton, or Pitcher "X".

He may be on a 1 year deal but isn't he under Sox control for another 5 years before he goes to free agency?

Trading him now would be as bad of a move as trading Hudson last year. There are too many good young former Sox pitchers around the league already.

No

This is no longer Kenny Williams' home for Wayward Royals Relievers.

Make it happen Kenny!

Humber and Viceido for Roberto Alomar and Carl Everett.

And then again next year too!

Humber is doing a hell of a job. Crazy to trade him with DL Jake having problems again.

Humber's presence allows the Sox to not be held up by Boras in FA with Jackson. That's 8 million that gets knocked off the books next year.

Yep. Trade Jackson for some help elsewhere at the deadline.

Does this mean you are assuming that Peavy will be healthy and productive for the rest of this season and 2012 as well?

They aren't likely to give Jackson a 3 or 4 year deal at $8 million plus. I think they are far more likely to attempt to resign Buerhle to a 2 year deal, and go with the other 4 (Peavy, Danks, Floyd and Humber).

* All of this is 1) barring injury and 2) assuming Buerhle doesn't become poor/Jackson great down the stretch.

Sale is going to be a starter.

What Keyser said.

I would have said Sale replaces Buehrle next year but I think Buehrle ends up being one of those people who JR demands the team re sign...like Konerko.

Humber is here to stay. He is an inexpensive, decent starter. Sale will also be in the rotation next year. A rotation of Danks, Floyd, Humber, Sale, and Peavy is still pretty solid. I also would not be suprised if Floyd or Danks are moved and Buehrle is somehow brought back.
