Jose Abreu Posted May 19, 2015 Share Posted May 19, 2015 If our good play continues and we're hovering around/over the .500 mark, I'm sure Hahn will look to add a player or two. That said, who do you think we can realistically acquire and at what cost? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pettie4sox Posted May 19, 2015 Share Posted May 19, 2015 QUOTE (raBBit @ May 19, 2015 -> 01:19 PM) Too early for this thread but Aramis Ramirez makes a bunch of sense for the Sox, Brewers and Ramirez himself. Imagine the possibilities... "Ground ball to the left side, gets past the diving Ramirez, Ramirez backends tosses it over to first and makes the nice back handed play." or "Ramirez lines one into right, Ramirez looking to take third and he will. A two out single by Ramirez keeps it going." mmmmm my ding ding dong Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shysocks Posted May 19, 2015 Share Posted May 19, 2015 Nick Hundley is a decent cheap catcher whose salary I don't think Colorado would mind unloading, though they did just sign him this offseason and trading him might be a bad look.

Jerksticks Posted May 19, 2015 Share Posted May 19, 2015 I will say that I don't think Lucroy should be our C target. I like his game but the age/injury flags might not be worth the prospects. We might just have to ride it out with this roster....ride it out right to the world series! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChiSox59 Posted May 19, 2015 Share Posted May 19, 2015 Tulo would be pretty friggin' cool. Derrek Norris would be a good add from SD, but they did just trade for him this off-season, but maybe they want to give Hedges the job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dick Allen Posted May 19, 2015 Share Posted May 19, 2015 Tulo has 2 walks in over 120 plate appearances and is hurting again. He is a guy who won't be able to live up to the expectations when he is traded. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GGajewski18 Posted May 19, 2015 Share Posted May 19, 2015 Sonny Gray. A rotation of Sale, Samardzija, Quintana, Gray and Rodon with Danks as the long man would have me giddy. I'd trade Danish, Montas, Hawkins and Micah or Sanchez for him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Sox would be hard pressed to find a package for Gray. He's young and controllable and exactly what the rebuilding A's need. If the Sox offered a packaged with Anderson, Danish, and Montas, I'm still not convinced the A's would move Sonny. Sticking with the A's as trade partners, A guy like Zobrist to play third and play around the diamond makes a ton of sense.

Dick Allen Posted May 19, 2015 Share Posted May 19, 2015 If he's OK when he gets back and Baltimore falls out of the race, Weiters would have to be a consideration. He wouldn't cost too much, and could be a huge spark. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GoGoSox2k2 Posted May 19, 2015 Share Posted May 19, 2015 Aramis Ramirez does make to much sense. Brewers are going nowhere this year, Ram at end of career. Probably wont cost a ton.

Albeit, I'd be shocked if we see Crain in the bigs again - but I don't really think that will be Rick's targeted area. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im not pissed about 3B really. Those guys can stir. Flowers can take a dump in the punch bowl and that's about it. But it's C and he's Flo & I don't mind.

He is a guy who won't be able to live up to the expectations when he is traded. He's got a 10% career walk rate over his prior 4000PA, so we should probably wait a little longer than 120PA to draw conclusions about his diminished ability to take walks. Him not having a great start is the only reason he'd be available/affordable for us. That said, I don't think we'd win the bidding and it would be hella risky, indeed. I can't make a strong case, but it would still be a TON of fun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
