daa84 Posted July 24, 2006 Share Posted July 24, 2006 QUOTE(illinilaw08 @ Jul 24, 2006 -> 04:40 PM) Is it possible we could flip him for Ervin Santana? But of course in that scenario, who goes to the bullpen? I dont know, I'm just throwing this out there. its a good line of thought....i think the angels are the lone team that would give us valuable pieces, especially pitching wise, for soriano.....i still would think we would hang on to him though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flash Tizzle Posted July 24, 2006 Share Posted July 24, 2006 QUOTE(JimH @ Jul 24, 2006 -> 04:35 PM) You mean you'd be more reluctant to criticize the move, right? Yes.

Chisoxfn Posted July 24, 2006 Share Posted July 24, 2006 QUOTE(daa84 @ Jul 24, 2006 -> 02:37 PM) i just cant see why....the only teams that are gonna want soriano are contenders, and no contender is gonna be willing to deal us (or anyone) pitching....... Maybe we don't want major league pitching, rather minor league pitching/players to give Kenny the chips to make another deal and more importantly to ensure that Soriano doesn't go to Minny or Detroit. I'm talking specifically about the Dodgers and Angels who got a zillion chips. Would the Angels deal Figgins and prospects for Soriano....I think yes. Or the dodgers dealing a guy like Broxton and some top pitching prospects for Soriano...I think yes. The main hold up if you ask me is Bowden wanting Bmac straight up, Kenny countering with Broadway/Fields/Liotta or some sort of package like that. Bottom line is even if we don't get him, that has just raised the price that Detroit/Minny would have to pay to get him and if we do get him we now have a guy that could help our offense if we can't move him and if we do move him we could ultimately get a similar price in terms of talent in return (if not more) while being able to control where he goes and maybe get back some more valuable pieces (in terms of what we need since Fields doesn't really fit in here).

TheHolyBovine Posted July 24, 2006 Share Posted July 24, 2006 (edited) UPDATE: KW was interviewed by Dibble and Kennedy on XM's "The Show", and said that there's no way that any pitcher off of the major league roster will be traded before the deadline. He said that he told BMac personally that he's not going anywhere. "Brandon McCarthy is part of our present and future. He's not going anywhere."

atrain081 Posted July 24, 2006 Share Posted July 24, 2006 QUOTE(soxpride77 @ Jul 24, 2006 -> 04:38 PM) But who do we flip him for? Soriano is an A+ player, I don't know who we would get that is better than or equal to him. i can't see this deal going down without soriano getting a new contract. you're right, nobody is going to give us the same back for soriano. but i don't mind giving up mccarthy either assuming that we resign him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How true this is i don't know. If you're of the Williams-believing ilk, I don't see why the move for MacDougal can not be ruled out as being involved in the Soriano deal. Although MacDougal appears a perfect fit for what the 2006 bullpen is looking for down the stretch, I don't see any reason to believe he can't or won't be involved in another deal--perhaps the larger of the deals.

Guest JimH Posted July 24, 2006 Share Posted July 24, 2006 Jim, can you put that into context? I realize that is pretty self-explanatory, but, what exact question was asked of him? Exactly how did he use that useful little nugget? Ian it was in the context of a possible Soriano deal. For those doubting KW's statements, one thing he's been very consistent on ... he intends to ONLY add to this team. Not trade pieces already on the team, especially pitching. So now they've added Macdougal, gave up prospects. IMO if a Soriano deal happens, it will be a prospects deal. And I can certainly see the White Sox flipping Soriano (or Lee).
