Steve9347 Posted May 20, 2013 Share Posted May 20, 2013 QUOTE (Jillian Michaels' Abs @ May 20, 2013 -> 02:04 PM) I've heard that this trade is agreed upon in principal, pending a brain scan and psychological evaluation of the Diamondbacks GM. HA! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
witesoxfan Posted May 20, 2013 Share Posted May 20, 2013 QUOTE (LVSoxFan @ May 20, 2013 -> 02:48 PM) I do remember that and it... kinda seemed to work although this season? Er, not so much... Dunn is fine. He struggled at the beginning of the year, but his numbers are on the way up now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caulfield12 Posted May 20, 2013 Share Posted May 20, 2013 Callaspo? He mainly plays 3B for the Angels. We already are going to have two players there in Gillaspie and Keppinger (albeit not a good one, we have to keep/play him). Callaspo's second best position is probably 2B, and Beckham's over there. Makes zero sense. Except for the Angels perhaps wanting to go with Luis Jimenez at 3B and go younger for the future. I don't think they're quite ready to give up on the wild card spot at this point in the season. The trade works out well for them to add pitching, I guess, but it's an insane trade for 2 teams.

lvjeremylv Posted May 20, 2013 Share Posted May 20, 2013 QUOTE (RockRaines @ May 20, 2013 -> 12:49 PM) Alot of that is because apparently Dunn relaxes and hits better when in the field, at least thats a theory. Newsflash to the Sox brass: it isn't working. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chw42 Posted May 20, 2013 Share Posted May 20, 2013 QUOTE (HickoryHuskers @ May 20, 2013 -> 10:58 AM) I know nothing about the credibility of this site, but this just popped up in my Facebook feed: https://www.facebook.com/#!/ChicagoWhit...location=stream Supposedly the Sox are going to get Goldschmidt from ARI and Callaspo from LAA in exchange for Konerko (ARI), Crain and Santiago (LAA). It isn't mentioned, but presumably something substantial would also have to go from LAA to ARI. I find this highly unlikely because it seems too good to be true on the Sox end and why on earth would Arizona give up Goldschmidt? I almost didn't even bother to post it but these wild stories do end up true about 0.5% of the time. lolwut? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LittleHurt05 Posted May 21, 2013 Share Posted May 21, 2013 Goldschmidt: 1.030 OPS, 25 years old, due only $30 million over next 5 seasons Konerko: .612 OPS, 37 years old, FA after this season Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fathom Posted May 21, 2013 Share Posted May 21, 2013 (edited) Funny thing is I don't think you get Goldschmidt for Sale right now (Arizona has quite the stable of stud LHP). Edited May 21, 2013 by fathom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caulfield12 Posted May 22, 2013 Share Posted May 22, 2013 http://sports.yahoo.com/news/stating-obvio...-185800682.html Picking up Utley, Howard (if Konerko can't ever come back to form) or Ruiz would all be typical KW mid-season moves in a year when they're in the race and within hailing distance of first. All World Series champions/veterans. Utley wouldn't be needed if Beckham can hit at least 650 or 675 OPS-wise, but who ever knows how he'll do from one year to the next?

That's where the KW-ish Jim Thome "subsidized" deal would come in... Would the Phillies be willing to eat 50-60% of that contract to get it off the books? Would the White Sox be willing to invest that much money into a veteran hitter past his prime? Probably not. It did work out well with Thome...and there's obviously a need for impact hitters in our line-up, but that one's probably not the right move at this point unless Konerko just walked into Reinsdorf's office and retired.

caulfield12 Posted May 22, 2013 Share Posted May 22, 2013 Harrelson would probably pick Michael Young to come in and play 1B...once again, if Konerko acknowledges it's better for him not to play for an extended period and/or retire. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
