Which is what you should do. So you are confirming that you haven't heard anything about this? I would be absolutely shocked if this actually happened. Trolls start trade rumors on blogs at every trade deadline. Did anyone check whether this was the blogger's first post (or one of them)? It was his first post. It's not a surprise. Thank god we have Bruce here to keep us in check before we get too rumor crazy.
anybody else heard this? Or is it possible that CSN reported wrong that Fox was demoted instead of Moore? If fox is demoted as well I would have to imagine Murton has been called back up. Either that or a trade. The article in the Trib also said Fox was the one likely to go down. As did their online article on chicagosports.com. The latest ESPN 1000 update still says Levine is reporting Moore being sent back down. The chicagosports.com article says Fox will "likely" be sent down; that could be the writer's speculation as opposed to actual knowledge. Moore does make more sense to me in light of Lou's comments about Fox when he was called up. I gather the move hasn't been made official yet (it may not until right before game time), so until an official announcement comes it may just be speculation concerning who goes down. Plus the fact that Fox would have been added to the 40-man roster for 1 at-bat in a week. Pretty stupid if that's what happens.

Just mentioned on ESPN 1000. Biggio is going to retire after this season. He is supposed to have a press conference in a little while. MLB.com article about his plans to retire
Why would we want Craig Monroe. He's got a career .750 OPS. Is that the best we can do? Can that even be considered an upgrade? I hope Hendry can do better than that.
Exactly. Why would Piniella be worried about where to put him if he was a natural SS, since he was obviously an upgrade over Izturis with the bat? Or could it be Lou didn't know where to put him because he's not better offensively or defensively than DeRosa who is the starting 2b.
Have you talked to Lou? Did he tell you that? :lol: If Lou thinks he's a SS, how come he "tried him out at SS" when Izturis and Cedeno were doing poorly. Seems like they didn't think he could handle SS defensively at the beginning of the season.
What credibility you thought you still had just went out the window. A natural SS would have an average arm for the position. Theriot's is well below-average. And obviously there are other knowledgable people who disagree with you considering Theriot has spent more time playing 2b.
