whitesoxbrian Posted March 11, 2009 Share Posted March 11, 2009 If you could add any player to the Sox and give up nothing for him and not pay his contract, who would it be? To me, I'd love Hanley. But to get Santana (if his elbow is healthy which I think it is), we would have such a ridiculous staff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lostfan Posted March 11, 2009 Share Posted March 11, 2009 Well this is a different question if you're talking a position player or a pitcher. But I would take Hanley Ramirez, the only other position player that I'd consider is Albert Pujols. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heads22 Posted March 11, 2009 Share Posted March 11, 2009 Me. I'd be making at least 300k a year, and they'd know better than to play me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

justBLAZE Posted March 11, 2009 Share Posted March 11, 2009 With the current roster, I think a leadoff second baseman would make a lot of sense... Yes I'm looking at you Brian Roberts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SouthsideDon48 Posted March 11, 2009 Share Posted March 11, 2009 I'd solve our centerfield AND leadoff problems by getting Curtis Granderson. And even though the original poster said "any player without anything in return", I would give Detroit Brian Anderson, anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SoxAce Posted March 11, 2009 Share Posted March 11, 2009 As long as the player is named Markakis or Hamels, I don't give a s***. I'm in love with both guys. Lincecum is quickly following though and you can never go wrong with Hanley. (though with 2 rings, Theo still has Hanley bad dreams.. but not nightmares) or Pujols.. (even if he cheated) I would still say Jeremy Reed is the best stud I've ever seen. EDIT: Oh... Matt Weiters. Dude is going to be f***ing ridiculous in two years.

CaliSoxFanViaSWside Posted March 11, 2009 Share Posted March 11, 2009 To solve the problem in center I think Mickey Mantle, Willie Mays or Joe Di maggio would do . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kalapse Posted March 11, 2009 Share Posted March 11, 2009 Tony Pena Jr. Start him at short, lead him off and move Alexei to center. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
witesoxfan Posted March 11, 2009 Share Posted March 11, 2009 I would very much like to see Darin Erstad back on this team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maggsmaggs Posted March 11, 2009 Share Posted March 11, 2009 Seriously, I would take Pujols. Best hitter in the game by far. Non serious answer, Jeff Smardizja, we need another WR to compliment Jerry Owens for the flag football team. We are already two deep at QB with Fields and Richard, but we need that second WR.

ScottyDo Posted March 11, 2009 Share Posted March 11, 2009 Hanley. I'd just like to point out, by the way, that my 3 keepers in my baseball league are Hanley, Lincecum and TCQ. And I'm losing like the last two round's picks for them (except Hanley, I'm losing a 3rd rounder for him). Good times. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bmags Posted March 11, 2009 Share Posted March 11, 2009 If I were to look at the current construct of the team and pick someone to "plug a gap", I'd take Hanley. If I were to take the best player and be allowed to send Konerko or Thome down, It'd obvi be Pujols. Guy is clearly the best hitter in the game.

daa84 Posted March 11, 2009 Share Posted March 11, 2009 would consider the following...Hanley (and seriously consider him in CF), Sizemore, Lincecum, Wright. Would choose Pujols...he's too good to pass. Plus Thome will be gone by years end. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

southsider2k5 Posted March 11, 2009 Share Posted March 11, 2009 Grady Sizemore would be the guy who I believe would be the biggest incremental improvement to the Sox. He would solve our weakest two spots, CF and the leadoff spot. There are guys out there that are better, but Grady would do more to finish the Sox team than anyone else.

It would also weaken the Indians, which is like a bonus. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DBAHO Posted March 11, 2009 Share Posted March 11, 2009 Hanley would be extremely tough to turn down. Someone who's only 25, plays in a premium position, would be a 40/40 threat in our ballpark and playing for our team, and could hit leadoff for us. But I'll throw out some other names that haven't been mentioned. David Price - Argubly the best pitching prospect in baseball ATM. Would be a fixture in our rotation for at least 5-6 seasons. Rick Porcello - Same deal, and you'd take him away from the Tigers. Matt Wieters - How would you like him at catcher for the next decade? Flowers could move to 1B. Of course I'm looking at the above 3 from a long - term point of view. But if I were choosing a player, it'd be very hard to turn down one of the 4 from above that's for sure.
